So, I guess the fucking hipster buttdarts of the world have latched on to Ghost — or Ghost B.C., depending on where you stand on brevity — because Spin now covers them a ton. Sad, really, when something you care about is tainted by the tang of Pabst Blue Ribbon, cigarettes, and B.O. Spin claims Read More
Gypsyhawk are currently on the road with Mothership, and lucky for us, the Metal Blade band’s been keeping a tour diary for us, and this is the second installment. This one is pretty fantastic, and we really fucking hope (wink, wink) that guitarist Andrew Packer will write for us again when the band hits the Read More
It’s obviously a publicity stunt, but if you go here, you can suggest Papa Emeritus II as the next papal leader. In exchange for your “vote,” you will gain access to a stream of a new song called “Year Zero,” Go vote. As you well know, the conclave has commenced. If the dude from Ghana Read More

Dates, as always follow at the end of this post. The tour will be in support of the band’s upcoming album, Infestissumam, which is due in stores on Read More
That’s how it seems. ThePRP is reporting that at least a couple of dates will feature Ides of Gemini in a support role. You can hear what the band sounds like at the end of this post. I had no idea who they were, so had to explore. Ghost will be touring this spring in Read More

Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmate, drummer Taylor Hawkins, will be inducting the mighty Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a few weeks. The 28th annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony will held on April 18 at Read More
By now, you’ve no doubt heard Dave Grohl had assembled an all-star cast of iconic musicians as his Sound City Players, and that those musicians performed their first-ever show last night in Park City, Utah. At the end of this post, see two clips from the show, which especially stood out for me. It’s pretty Read More
Before you go out tonight, get hammered, go to that bar or show only to come home without a sloppy chick to slob your knob, listen to the song at the end of this post. It’s cool for a couple of reasons. For starts, it’s a Ghost song; a cover of Abba’s “I’m A Marionette.” Read More
It’s true, people. And that’s fucking awesome. A link published on Blabbermouth claims that a strictly limited 10-inch clear vinyl version of the single for the title track from Ghost’s forthcoming LP Secular Haze will contain the cover. “The single’s B-side is Ghost’s cover version of Abba’s ‘I’m A Marionette’” with Dave Grohl, of Nirvana, Read More
