Yesterday, we told you about the death of former White Zombie drummer Phil Buerstatte; he died over the weekend. Since then, Rob Zombie has come forward with a statement on Phil’s death. “Well, I heard rumors of this a few days ago but I wasn’t sure if they were true or not. But it seems Read More
Slipknot members getting new masks is the metal equivalent to Jennifer Aniston getting a new haircut. It’s fucking lame, but people — for reasons I will never know — fucking flip out over it. The last time the band debuted new masks, the internet nearly shut down from the massive traffic generated by the reveals. Read More
This never happens. Seriously. Every time Belphegor promise a record will be released, that record is released. They’ve never had any of their albums delayed. The Austrian blackened death metal act claim the release of their new album has been bumped to early 2014. The original plan was to have Nuclear Blast Records release it Read More
It’s true. If you consider the truth controversial, that is. I guess that’s why so many people don’t dig GSA: The truth can sting, and is often misconstrued as unfocused evil. In a new interview that will air today, Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt tells Andrew Haug he’s none too fond of some of the newer stuff Read More
I’m done. I quit. This will be the last post ever on GunShyAssassin. Clearly, my efforts are failing. Because All That Remains is touring with HellYeah. AND Nonpoint, a band no one ever cared about to begin with. When will this madness end?!?! Those dates follow at the end of this post.

First, the Black Dahlia Murder signed on last month, and I complained (and still stand by what I said) that the tour didn’t meet the high metal standards of onetime GSA columnist Trevor Strnad. Now, they’ve added the likes of Read More
WHY? It’d be so simple for you guys to do. I mean, it’s been so long since the last one. You’d think Zack’d have a lot to say! And that the riffs would be bountiful. The question keeps coming back around: What’s up with Rage Against The Machine? The answer stays the same: Fucking zip. Read More
I’d sooner believe an app could help me get more hummers than I’d believe an app could teach my uncoordinated ass, or your uncoordinated ass for that matter, to wield an axe like Dimebag Darrell Abbott. The app, the work of the U.K.’s Total Guitar magazine, is called “Play Guitar Like Dimebag Darrell,” and the Read More
No doubt worthy of a book on his life, Five Finger Death Punch drummer Jeremy Spencer has taken it upon himself to write his autobiography. It will be called “Deathpunched: Cheers To My Sobriety,” and will be out in early 2014. Lucky for us, we got our hands on an excerpt from the book, which Read More
Asking Alexandria bassist Sam Bentley must unintentionally hit the butthole a lot when those underage groupies find their way onto the band’s bus. Dude is super fucking coordinated. Example: See that picture of Sam’s busted eye? He didn’t get that from fighting some other dude. His bass smashed him in the face. While he was Read More
