COMPLETELY UNREADABLE BAND LOGO OF THE WEEK, BROUGHT TO YOU BY ROADRUNNER RECORDS - WIN A COPY OF CRADLE OF FILTH’S GODSPEED ON THE DEVIL’S THUNDER
The lesson of last week’s contest: you guys aren’t the least bit interested in competing for non-metal albums. I’m embarrassed to say that the Biffy Clyro giveaway was our least successful ever, which sucks, ’cause Biffy Clyro are awesome. Luckily, exactly two of you - McCaleb Burnett and Cutter Horne - correctly identified the logo [...]

EVEN TRENT REZNOR CAN’T BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME
Trent Reznor talks almost as much shit about other musicians as Kerry King does, but it’s usually excusable as a) he’s hilarious, b) he’s right and c) he’s so much cooler than most rock stars that even if he’s wrong, it’s still not very bothersome. For example, I once read an interview where Reznor said [...]

SEBASTIAN BACH TRIES TO LURE THE ONLY FANS DRUNKER THAN METALHEADS
The only capacity in which I ever want to experience Sebastian Bach again is singing Skid Row songs. Not new ones, either, ’cause if the one Johnny Solinger-era Skids album I’ve heard is any indication, the guys who actually write the music in that band have forgotten whatever it was they knew back in their [...]

ALICE IN CHAINS WONDERLAND
What a great weekend! Apparently I’m rich! You see, I got an email from Mr. John Kofi White, branch manager of a financial institution in Ghana, who is offering me 30% of his $7,597.864 family fortune. All I have to do is give him my bank account info and let him transfer it through there, [...]

WATCH AN ENTIRE LIVING COLOUR SHOW FOR FREE
Headbanger’s Blog tipped us to the fact that video of Living Colour’s entire November 1 show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam can now be streamed for free (below). It’s not nearly as cool as the experience of seeing Living Colour live, but in case you’ve never had that opportunity (or, more likely, wasted that opportunity), [...]

LOOKING DOWN ON AUDIOVENT
In the post-nu-metal boom of the early ’00s that followed a dumbed down blueprint of that laid out by Incubus came Audiovent, a band who had been around for a while but got swept up in the tide of signings by major labels attempting to cash in on the sound of the moment. Unfortunately for [...]

A “BETTER” CHINESE DEMOCRACY SINGLE
When I lost my virginity, I was so excited to actually have my penis in a vagina after so many years of thinking about it that whether my first time was actually an enjoyable experience or not was kind of beside the point. And with its release now less than a week away, that’s how [...]

SEASON OF AWESOME
So I finally got through this pile of CDs on my desk from French metal label Season of Mist. Other than being the label who released Cynic’s fantastic reunion album Traced In Air, turns out they’ve got a diverse roster of oddball metal bands. Rather than do you all a disservice by failing to accurately [...]

IN WHICH COMPARED GAAHL TO PUPPIES
Mostly this week I just watched the Puppy Cam. But when I could pry myself away for a few moments, this is what I focused on: Proto-jazz-metallers Intronaut released an artsy new video, as did Protest the Hero and Dir En Grey. We interviewed Brother Von Doom. Ozzy may be pretty good at shilling for Samsung phones these [...]

DANGEROUS TOYS REUNION PLEASES SHADOWS FALL, ANTON OYVEY
We haven’t done "Ask Anton OyVey" in awhile because Anton went to the old country to visit the shtetl. But before he left he once told me that he was on the hunt for an original, vintage Dangerous Toys shirt, and was having no luck locating one on eBay. Since I know Anton is tight [...]
