Municipal Waste To Tour

Posted by Chris Harris on April 3, 2012 in News, Tour Dates

And now, in news that fucking rules, Municipal Waste will be hitting the road soon, crushing eardrums and raping shrubs in a town near you. I was kidding about the shrubs. They’re not weird like that. But really…is that weird? And can it be rape if the bush has the inability to vocalize a “No?” Read More

Fear Factory Unveil New Album’s Cover

Posted by Chris Harris on March 30, 2012 in New Records, News

And that’s it. I still haven’t heard the music yet, but the cover and name of the new Fear Factory are both kind of boring. I am struggling just to get through the writing of this post. That Fear Factory cover looks like something Winds of Plague would reject for their album cover. The Industrialist Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on March 22, 2012 in News, Rad

This is good news. DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara has revealed that bassist Aaron “Bubble” Patrick has been released from the hospital. He made the revelation on his Twitter, which I follow consistently, as I am a super huge fucking fan — as regular readers know. Bubbles had been hospitalized with Streptococcus Pneumonia not too long ago. Read More

DevilDriver Are Free Agents

Posted by Chris Harris on March 21, 2012 in News

I’d sign them to my label. Then shelve the record just to taunt Dez Fafara. DevilDriver vocalist Dez Fafara recently confirmed in an interview that his band is free from the binds of a label contract. The group have apparently been talking with interested record labels. “We used to put out a record about every Read More

That’s right, people. This is no laughing matter. DevilDriver bassist Aaron “Bubble” Patrick has been hospitalized. Dude has come down with a bad case of pneumonia.

Fear Factory Add Bassist Matt DeVries

Posted by Chris Harris on February 13, 2012 in News, Rad

Interesting. There’s a reason Matt DeVries left Six Feet Under recently. Matt’s now the bassist for Fear Factory. DeVries replaces Byron Stroud. The announcement comes as the band continues work on its new album, The Industrialist, which will be in stores this summer. Guitarist Dino Cazares and Vocalist Burton C. Bell stated: “We are very Read More

3 Inches Of Blood: Album Art, Track List Revealed

Posted by Chris Harris on January 31, 2012 in New Records, News

The cover art for 3 Inches of Blood’s forthcoming album Long Live Heavy Metal is pretty simple. It looks like the cover of an ancient book, with a gloriously satanic symbol. I might just get that tattooed on my forehead. I mean, foreskin. Long Live Heavy Metal is due out on March 27 through Century Read More
