We told you yesterday to stop buying all of those unofficial, unsanctioned Mitch Lucker shirts off eBay. We hope you did.

Posted by Chris Harris on December 1, 2011 in News

Posted by Chris Harris on April 14, 2011 in News

I know…where does the time go? Soon, we’ll be marking Paul Gray’s one year anniversary, and then Dio’s. Last year was fucked up. But if I am going to be honest, it was Peter Steele’s death that hurt me the most. I am from New York; I was born in Brooklyn, raised on Long Island, Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on April 10, 2011 in Huh?, News

Paul Gray did not turn 39 on April 8. That’s because he’s no longer alive. But his former band members still took the time to mark the occasion; by the way, it’ll be a year since his death come May 24. April 14 marks one year since the death of Peter Steele. Fuck, man…where does Read More
