The gods will return! It may not be Ragnarok, it may not be Armageddon, but the gods will return – the gods of metal, that is. Black Sabbath will release their first album in 35 years, and it will also mark the original line-up reuniting, along with producer Rick Rubin in Los Angeles. They will also be joined by Brad Wilks of Rage Against The Machine on drums, after a contractual dispute with original drummer…
In case you weren’t aware, Metallica are preparing a 3D movie called “Metallica Through The Never”; the film has been described by one of the actors as “a concert movie meets ‘The Wall’ meets Metallica.” “It’s in a way like a 3D concert movie but there’s also this narrative that ties together all the footage,” actor Dane DeHaan (“Chronicle”, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”) explains. There’s not much we really know about the plot, but Lars…
It always seemed to be that they were kindred spirits – the man with a woman’s name who was blamed for the fall of civilization in the 70s, and the man who was blamed for the fall of civilization in the 90s, surely there’s something up with that. Apparently, they reached the same conclusion together and announced that they’ll be taking the act on the road: “Masters Of Madness: Shock Therapy Tour 2013”, that’s the…
Stratovarius is definitely one of the quirkiest metal bands out there; they were formed almost 30 years ago, in 1984, but no founding member is still in the band – the longest standing member is Timo Kotipelto, who joined in 1994. But even so, they still got it, as this clearly shows: Their newest video is called Nemesis, coming from their newest album. Here’s what the guys had to say: “It was a really nice…
A while ago, I was telling you about how Slayer decided to kick out drummer and founding member Dave Lombardo. It’s still not clear if the move is permanent or just for the Australian tour, but man, seeing this kind of drama in a band like Slayer is just not cool. Following this rather blurry event, Slayer frontman Tom Araya took some time to talk about the “drummer situation”. However, he did not address Lombardo’s…
Aww man, it always saddens me to see drama in iconic bands like Slayer. The band has marked my teenage years, and seeing them live is just about as awesome as a concert can get. A founding member of Slayer, drummer Dave Lombardo, has been removed from the band’s Australian tour over a contract dispute. Lombardo put quite a length post on his Facebook, explaining (from his point of view) the conditions that led to…
We’re having some great comebacks ladies and gents, and Black Sabbath is definitely in the top. What are they planning? Do they still have it? Has their style changed? So many questions, so much eagerness… but now, we get our first hint, and it sounds awesome: the album will be “satanic blues”. It may just be me getting a little carried away, but if this sounds like I imagine it – it’s gonna be awesome….
It’s a sad day for metal heads, folks. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello shared some of his honest, ice cold opinions about the band and the possibility of playing any concerts in the future. He went as far as to say that Rage Against the Machine will never perform again. “Whether or not we ever play music again in any capacity is unknown. I’m grateful for…
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has revealed he is really interested in collaborating with Justin Bieber; well, I don’t really know what to say, but I guess that’s straying a little from your metal roots, isn’t it? It all started with this mash-up video, in which some guy put Slipknot’s ‘Psychosocial’ together with Justin Bieber’s hit single ‘Baby’ – thus, Psychosocial Baby was born. The video went viral, hitting over 12 million views, which apparently lit…
Former Iron Maiden frontman Paul di Anno is one of the baddest singers out there; he recently stopped the show at a concert in Ukraine after a member of the audience kept shouting Bruce Dickinson’s name. Di’Anno said: “I’m sorry – I don’t do opera,” and mimicked Dickinson’s vocal on ‘Run To The Hills’. He added: “It’s too f–king easy – and I’m not gay.” But he was just started. “This is punk. If you…
