Randy Blythe Quits Twitter; We All Lose

Posted by Chris Harris on May 21, 2012 in News, This Blows

Perhaps this is the best thing for Randy Blythe but for sites like Gun Shy Assassin and for the fans, this is a sad, sad day. Randy Blythe has deleted his Twitter account. That means no more rants, no more manifestos, and no more opinions from the Lamb of God frontman online. Nope. Not sure Read More

Lamb Of God Frontman Says He’s Not A Booking Agent

Posted by Chris Harris on May 15, 2012 in News

Since the tour dates were announced for Lamb of God’s upcoming tour with Dethklok and Gojira, I guess Randy Blythe has been catching shit from fans who live in cities and towns the tour is passing over. As he’s want to do, Blythe took to Twitter to spout off. “To all the people yelling, whining, Read More

New Dethklok LP In The Works?

Posted by Chris Harris on May 12, 2012 in In the Studio, New Records, News

Looks that way. Well, if Lamb of God is touring this summer with Gojira and Dethklok, and the show just returned to the air, it would seem the perfect time for such an endeavor. Brendon Small seems to be hinting that he gets that the timing’s right, because it appears a new Dethklok album is Read More

I have known about this for two weeks, and this wasn’t supposed to go public until Monday, but the dates for Lamb of God’s tour with Gojira and Dethklok have slipped out. It’s been so hard not to talk about this, because the lineup is fucking beyond killer. The leaked dates follow at the end Read More

Lamb Of God Frontman: “The Industry Is Dying”

Posted by Chris Harris on May 10, 2012 in News

Our favorite frontman for Lamb of God, Randy Blythe, has once again taken to the webernets to spew forth his feelings on a subject. This time, Randy waxes poetic about the record industry, which — I’m guessing — he thinks is deader than your love life. He was inspired to write following news that Marilyn Read More

Metal World Reacts To MCA’s Death

Posted by Chris Harris on May 5, 2012 in News

I’m still in shock over the sudden, unexpected passing of Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys. Yes, they were more rap than anything else, but they started off as a hardcore band. Yauch produced the Bad Brains’ most recent album, and his label first signed At The Drive-In. MCA’s death — presumably related to the Read More

Hung’s Kenny Grohowski: The Gun Shy Interview

Posted by Chris Harris on May 4, 2012 in Exclusive, Featured, Glory Holes Across America, Gun Shy Interview

For drummer Kenny Grohowski, manning the kit for progressive death metal act Hung may be merely the pinnacle of what’s been an impressive, nearly 15-year musical career. Not yet 30, Grohowski has been touring with all kinds of bands since he was 15. “My first tour was with a salsa band,” Grohowksi tells Gun Shy Read More

Another DJ Added To Mayhem Festival Cruise

Posted by Chris Harris on May 4, 2012 in News

The Mayhem Festival Cruise is going to be sick as hell. A bunch of awesome bands, on a boat, with a bunch of booze, woman, bikinis, weed, and metal. Sounds like every weekend during my 20s — minus the boat. Now comes word that Born Of Osiris guitarist Lee McKinney is also a DJ, and Read More
