Can’t help but post this. I found it in an old browser tab I’d left open to remind myself of the article. It’s about Dave Mustaine, lead guitarist and singer of Megadeth, who recently organized a massive toy donation to help out the families who lost their homes in the California wildfires. Toy deliveries also … Continue reading →
I should know. Metalheads are just pricks through and through, and there’s no reason anyone would ever want to hang out with one. I just hate them so much. Look at this loser, for example. Not only does the kid show himself to be an utter toolbag and a poser by flipping off the camera, … Continue reading →
I don’t know quite what gets people interested in metal (nobody does), but I can understand that growing up amid turbulent political strife and the thunder of warfare might give a little added incentive to headbang. This is precisely the case with Acrassicauda, a heavy metal act which originated in Iraq in 2001, but is … Continue reading →
I love bonus tracks. Seriously, they’re great. And the freaking Japanese get them all. But living in Europe, it means I have access to at least some bonus track-equipped CDs, although they’re rarely the same as what Japan sees. (If that doesn’t encourage online file-sharing, I don’t know what does.) Check out this gem I … Continue reading →
This is pretty freaking incredible news. Vocalist MATT BARLOW Rejoins ICED EARTH I giggled with joy when I read this. Barlow is a metal legend, who left Iced Earth after 9/11, because he felt that at such a crucial time in American history, he should be doing some greater good than singing in a metal … Continue reading →
Working on my project tonight, I found out what a wonderful idea it is to read code while listening to death metal. I’ve heard that a lot of programmers listen to techno while coding, but that could just be a lie with which the Wachowski Brothers inculcated me. I’ve certainly noticed, however, that a lot … Continue reading →
What can I say, sleep’s on my mind at the moment. You know, there are some really beautiful songs I know that are about sleep. This first one isn’t specifically about sleep, but the imagery is dream-like, and still gives me pause whenever I hear it. Agalloch – In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion … Continue reading →
Was scoping out my Last.fm page this afternoon, and noticed in my events sidebar that there was a show at Backstage tonight. And of course I’m flat broke, so I won’t be going. I’m rather pleased, though, as I have been to a ton of concerts already this fall, so missing this one doesn’t burn … Continue reading →
Dark Tranquillity posted on their website that their middle-era discs will be reissued in Japan, with bonus tracks. (Sorry I can’t link more directly, but the DT site doesn’t offer links to individual updates. Stupid.) “Projector” and “Haven” to be re-released in Japan – Nov 30, 2007 To coincide with our shows in the land … Continue reading →
This video made me unbelievably happy. Metalocalypse is probably the only thing broadcast on television that I give a damn about, so if you don’t know it, grab a torrent fast. I haven’t seen anything from the second season, but I hear it sucks. I must find out. And Skwisgaar is freaking adorable. Also, I … Continue reading →
