Bill For California Metalfest V Taking Shape

Posted by Chris Harris on January 18, 2011 in News

This must’ve been the easiest festival to book. Basically, its the Atticus Metal Tour…with some other bands thrown in for good measure. The headliner will be As I Lay Dying when the California Metalfest takes over The Grove in Anaheim, California, on March 19. I hear Anaheim is lovely this time of year. It has Read More

Still No Real Reason To Attend Warped Tour 2011

Posted by Chris Harris on December 16, 2010 in News

More bands are being announced for this summer’s Warped Tour, and still, I’m feeling like I’d rather go to my own funeral than attend Warped this year. Not that I’ve attended since the fifth one. Yeah, that’s right kids — I was at the first five Warped Tours. And then I stopped. But in my Read More

And After The Burial. But, of course, if you’re a Gun Shy regular, you knew this shit was happening a while ago. After The Burial’s Trent Hafdahl first tipped us to this tour last month, and now, that shit’s official. As I Lay Dying will head out on the road with Winds Of Plague and Read More

After The Burial’s Trent Hafdahl: The Gun Shy Interview

Posted by Chris Harris on November 21, 2010 in Gun Shy Interview

The first girl I ever kissed was from Minnesota. Edina, to be exact. How did a New York boy hook up with a girl from Edina? My cousin won a trip for two to Space Camp when I was a kid, and I met Betsy during that fun-filled week in Huntsville, Alabama. So when I Read More

Winds Of Plague Tap Terror Guitarist For New Disc

Posted by Chris Harris on October 27, 2010 in In the Studio, New Records, News

This Winds of Plague band’s really pulling a lot of strings to get some big names on their forthcoming effort, which has not yet been officially named. Or maybe it is officially named, but the band has not made it officially known. Either way, I am still reminded of Kristen Randall’s perky num-nums every single Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on October 6, 2010 in Huh?, New Records, News, Tour Dates

It was just last week that After The Burial dropped off of their tour with Bleeding Through because of a little cat fight that went down. Guess they’ve regained their composure and won’t calling it quits, because they’ve announced their future plans. Yes, that’s right — After The Burial have a new disc coming November Read More

Periphery’s Idea Of A Prank Is My Idea Of Stupid

Posted by Chris Harris on October 6, 2010 in Huh?, News, Poop, Video

I have no problem with Periphery. From what I’ve heard, they’re a fucking phenomenal band. But they’ve got a very strange sense of humor. See, usually, when you pull a prank on someone, the prank doesn’t have to be explained to others afterwards. I watched the video that follows after the jump, and I don’t Read More

We’ve known for a while now that — after their successful stint on this summer’s Mayhem Festival — Californian deathcore outfit Winds of Plague would be hitting a recording studio to begin tracking their next LP. Guess what? They’ve now officially confirmed that yes, they’re in the studio. In a new Twitter post, the band Read More

According to numerous Facebook posts, All Shall Perish — who are part of this year’s Summer Slaughter tour — were involved in a “bad van accident” Sunday morning and hence, missed some dates on the trek. They’re the second band we’ve heard of this week to befall such peril; Shadows Fall and Winds of Plague Read More

Shadows Fall Stranded, Bus Fucked Beyond Reproach

Posted by Chris Harris on August 10, 2010 in News, Poop

According to numerous Facebook posts from both Jonathan Donais and Brian Fair, Shadows Fall are missing several dates on the RockStar Energy Mayhem Tour because the band’s bus has taken a colossal shit. In one post from Fair, he reveals they are “in South Carolina somewhere,” and sarcastically quips “What surrounds us @ the exit Read More
