Dude, yes I know I am a little late with this news, but yesterday was a crazy day for me. I was in court all afternoon, and then had to hang with my parents before ending the night with my best friend and his 3-year-old skateboarding son. I would have reported this yesterday, but I Read More

Not a ressurected Chuck Schuldiner — no, he’s rather work with someone Korn recently did some shit with. That punk-ass Skrillex dude. Does that mean Trivium Read More

Lamb Of God, Trivium Booked For 2012 Hellfest

Posted by Chris Harris on September 30, 2011 in News, Rad

Disturbed, Trivium Members Pay Tribute To Dimebag

Posted by Chris Harris on August 12, 2011 in News, Video

You know what I’d bet? I’d bet you metal crowds in Dallas are fucking suck and fucking tired of lesser bands rolling through town and covering Pantera’s best fucking known song, “Walk,” in honor of Dimebag Darrell.
