This is turning into a soap opera already. After they first announced it in February they changed their minds and delayed it, claiming they want to make something great. OK, that’s good, as long as it rocks. Makes sense, good things come to those who wait. But is it that good? Honestly speaking, I have a huge amount of fate in them. As far as I’m concerned, when you think about what kind of music…
If you’re among those who are waiting for a SOAD reunion, an album, or even a show…well it’s probably not going to happen. It’s unpleasant to talk about this, it’s even more unpleasant to think that one of the best modern metal bands has permanently dismantled. In fact, former guitarist Daron Malakian has warned optimistic fans the band will never reunite. After taking a break in 2006 to focus on other projects – frontman Serj…
Tool’s one of the few bands that have managed to build a somewhat unique sound, characterized by heavy riffed music coupled with melodic and mellow vocals, labeled by most as style-transgressing. The band’s sold over ten million records, within their four album lifespan, won four Grammys and last but not least gained a cult like fanbase. Reverting back to the Grammy’s, a curious fact is although frontman Maynard James Keenan resents the notorious awards for…
In case you have no idea whatsoever what Ozzfest is, here’s a quick reminder for you (although you don’t deserve it! how can you not know what Ozzfest is ?!). Ozzfest is an annual tour of the United States (and in some years, Europe) featuring performances by some of the greatest singers out there. We’re talking about metal and hardcore stuff here; hard rock at its best!So, just as with 2007, a shortened tour is…
Opeth are often credited to be among the masterminds behind progressive metal, and despite the fact that they haven’t achieved commercial success, the Swedish metalers are still among the titans of the genre. Now, they are proud to announce Watershed as the title of their forthcoming album, which is set for June 3rd, 2008.The band was recorded in Swedish homelands and was produced by frontman/guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt and Jens Bogren; it promises to be a…
Well one of my favorite comedians, Jim Breuer(you might know him as the goat guy, or from his hilarious act about how to drink without throwing up), happens to be a big hard rock and metal fan; and what could such a comedian do? Naturally, he would do an act about some bands. Well to cut a long story short, here they are! Check him out, he rocks! AC/DC: Metallica: YEAH!
Regarding this topic, people are divided into two sides: those who admit they eagerly await the new Metallica album and those who don’t. OK so their last album was… not quite we expected to say the least. But we all expect the next one especially since it promises a lot. The gods have a chance to redeem themselves and my bet is they won’t give it up. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich (who else?) speaks about…
The veterans made it big in the 1980s and early 1990s and the band was known for its speed, intensity, and genre-crossing 1991 collaboration with Public Enemy on the rappers’ “Bring The Noise.”. Now they have signed up a virtually unknown singer. His name is Dan Nelson and he is a part-time singer and personal trainer from New York. “It really is a dream come true,” Nelson, 31, told Newsday as the announcement was made…
I was simply blown away by, metal core quartet, [tag]Bullet for My Valentine[/tag]’s debut album Poison. It was energetic, punk and had some extremely catchy metal hooks; they were great. Now their second release, “Scream, Aim, Fire,” is getting closer by the day and from the two new songs off of it, that have been posted around the internet lately, it sadly seems the band haven’t been spared by the oh so dreaded sophomore slumps….
[tag]Nine Inch Nail[/tag] frontman, the controversial Trent Reznor, recently admitted having a account at the former biggest source for illegal waffles and music, OiNK. He even said he would’ve paid the controversial website for their leaked albums, if asked to, as he believes any other legal download store doesn’t come close. He told New York magazine: “I’ll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what…
