Atreyu Lifting Hiatus?

Posted by Chris Harris on May 11, 2013 in Huh?, News

Fuck, I hope not. I know a lot of you folks may like Atreyu, but I considered them to be one of the worst bands around when they were active. Then they went on hiatus, and a smile came to my sad, clown face. But that smile was turned upside down today, when I realized Read More

Firewind Name Forthcoming Live LP

Posted by Chris Harris on April 15, 2013 in New Records, News

Firewind are from Greece. I like gyros. Therefore, I wish I were also from Greece, sometimes. I hear the country’s beautiful, and that the girls there are also smokin’ hot and like the third input. Nice! Firewind will celebrate their 10th anniversary by releasing a live album on June 24 through Century Media Records. The Read More

Firewind To Go On Hiatus

Posted by Chris Harris on March 8, 2013 in Featured, News, Rad

Good. They’re fucking awful anyway. Every time I listen to them, I can feel my rectum widening, almost as if I am getting ready to accept peen. It’s so bad. In a new interview, Gus G. says that the band’s new singer might not be a permanent member of Firewind, seeing as there may not Read More

Murderdolls Is Done, Says Wednesday 13

Posted by Chris Harris on March 3, 2013 in News, Rad

Good. That band fucking bit the big one. They put out two records, and they were both huge piles of goth punk poop. But people gave Murderdolls a chance because Slipknot’s Joey Jordison was a member. Well, the band’s other member of note, Wednesday 13, says Murderdolls’ 2010 LP Women And Children Last was their Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on February 23, 2013 in Departures, News, Rad

Good. This band blows hobos. I’m glad they’re taking a long overdue break. In a statement, Trapped Under Ice — the most mediocre of mediocre hardcore bands — says the hiatus starts in August, after they play a ton of farewell gigs. “We are NOT breaking up. This is by no means the end of Read More

The Mars Volta Vocalist Says Band’s Over

Posted by Chris Harris on January 24, 2013 in Departures, Huh?, News

Nope. The Mars Volta are not a metal band. They’re straight-up spacey prog and they kick ass. Well, they used to kick ass. I don’t see how they can continue kicking ass now that vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala has left the group, and the band’s basically thrown in the fucking towel. He revealed the news via Read More

Disturbed Frontman Promises Bands Return

Posted by Chris Harris on January 17, 2013 in Gross, News

This is fucking weak sauce, man. The shit ones never stay down, do they? Disturbed is one of those bands that should quit while it’s ahead. But no. David Draiman and his merry band of false metal minstrels will return one day. “The beast certainly is not dead — it’s just sleeping for a little Read More

Chickenfoot Going On Hiatus For 2013

Posted by Chris Harris on December 24, 2012 in News

NO!!!!!!!!! Dude. Does anyone care about this band, even remotely? I’m serious. I want to know. I only write about the band when I see them make news because I like to refer to Sammy Hagar as the Red Rocker. That’s who he is. Sammy says in a new holiday message to fans that Chickenfoot Read More
