Fuck me. Why won’t this band just go away? They’re already planning on making another subpar record? Be honest, Trivium fans — you didn’t really like that last record, did you? Admit it! You listened to it the first time, all the way through, shook your head in disbelief, and I know you were all Read More
And there are no surprises here. No daring choices. No innovation. Just safe, generic choices — bands you’ve likely seen time and again. Now, to address a comment our previous story on the lineup generated: I love Slayer. I have seen Slayer a bazillion times. Yes, Slayer rule, but in the last two years, it Read More
We’ve known for months that Trivium would be touring with Asking Alexandria. Now, we’ve got the official confirmation from Asking Alexandria, who, I presume, are the headliners. Called “The Still Reckless Tour,“ the jaunt will also include Dir En Grey (who should go over like a fart at a funeral), I See Stars, Motionless In Read More
Looking back on 2011, Fred Durst can’t be thinking that shit was a banner one. Limp Bizkit released a record no one fucking cared about, and Interscope dropped the band. They booked and then cancelled numerous tours, and Fred just ended up losing more hair and putting on more pounds. Today, Freddy took to the Read More
That’s right. This post is about something we all do…even hot chicks: Poop. We all poop. I’m a two-time-a-dayer, at least. I love shitting. After eating, fucking and sleeping, it’s my favorite thing to do. Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe was on Twitter before, talking about poo. He started asking his fans what methods Read More
My, my — what a crazy fucking year 2011 was. Jeff Loomis left Nevermore, the West Memphis Three were released, and Black Sabbath reunited. God tried twice to kill the lead singer of Black Veil Brides, Devin Townsend released 200 records, and dudes like Seth Putnam, Mike Starr, Jani Lane and Gwar’s Cory Smoot passed Read More
Come again? What was that you said? You don’t give a fuck? Welcome to the party, pal. Razor & Tie has revealed a new signing: a band called I Am War. Who is I Am War? I’m not sure. But the band features Atreyu’s singer Alex Varkatzas and Bleeding Through frontman and gym rat Brandan Read More
Man, is it a slow news day. Like a super fucking slow news day. Something needs to happen soon, or this day may go down as the most boring ever. Evanescence singer Amy Lee was performing in New York City on November 1. Just for the record, I hate this band and I think they’re Read More
Drummer Mike Portnoy — you know, the dude who bolted Dream Theater, tried to get back in, was denied, and then started a new band called Adrenaline Mob — was on VH-1 Classic’s unwatchable “That Metal Show,” and he says his heart is crushed. Portnoy, of course, was with Avenged Sevenfold when he left Dream Read More
OK, that’s a slight exaggeration, but still slightly true. Trivium leader Matt Heafy recently spoke with Loudwire.com, and was asked about his dream collaboration. His answer may surprise you. Not a ressurected Chuck Schuldiner — no, he’s rather work with someone Korn recently did some shit with. That punk-ass Skrillex dude. Does that mean Trivium Read More
