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

So, I’m prone to dishing out a bit of criticism here and there on this site. In fact, I consider myself awesome at it. But I am not perfect. I have never claimed to be perfect — only to be awesome, which I am. I’m a catch. This has nothing to do with Shadows Fall Read More
