CANTO: Drama at Metal Magic Fest, Whitechapel/Suicide Silence tour, and more

“I received your light, I received your wound, as a funeral rite for a heart entombed. As stigmata, envoys of the grave of holy creed. As your hand demands to fear, your canon requires to persevere. To claim the heart of those pierced by such immense deceit.”

This actually dates back to last week, but I’m amused by it so I’m still sharing. Members of Flotsam and Jetsam and Shadows Fall have opened a weed dispensary. Medical purposes only, of course.
Haven’t mentioned a new tour in awhile, so here’s one that I won’t be attending. Suicide Silence and Whitechapel will be co-headlining a run of dates through North America. They will be supported by Despised Icon, Carnifex, and Oceano.
Well this got aggressive. During their set at Metal Magic Fest in Denmark, Deströyer 666 frontman K. K. Warslut antagonized the crowd to the point where a fight between him and an audience member broke out on stage. I did say it got aggressive.
Troubling news from a legend. During a Hollywood Vampires set, legendary Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry collapsed on stage. He is stable now, but had to be carried away and hospitalized.
Finally, here’s a headbanging horse for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

CANTO: Wes Borland, Art of Anarchy, The Acacia Strain, and more

“By way of light across a vast millennia I can behold this grandeur at its infancy. Though I know it has already passed away a millennia before… My work has begun…”

I’m not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Wes Borland had been working on some solo work recently. And now he officially has an album out called Crystal Machete. And ya know what else? It’s pretty goddamn cool.
Well, it looks like Scott Stapp is still trying to do things. The Creed vocalist will be stepping in to front Art of Anarchy. It seems like a very interesting situation to me… but what do I know?
I didn’t see this coming at all! (Sarcasm). After AC/DC informed fans that they would be offering a refund for money paid to see a show fronted by Axl Rose, 7,000 Belgian requested that very refund. Ouch.
How about a tour? The Acacia Strain will be hitting the road with Oceano and Knocked Loose (among others) this summer. Not crazy about those bands, but that’s a pretty solid lineup if that’s your thing.
Finally, here’s a new track from Feared called “Lords Resistance Army”. It doesn’t suck!

CANTO: Updates from Nergal, Darkest Hour, and more NEMF bands

“Life is your consciousness as you tame your wild beasts, when exhaustion is the currency that you must pay for sleep.”

I’ve decided to start introducing Canto with lyrics from whatever song I’m listening to as I compile these. I’m running out of witty bullshit to say every night. You get to guess the song.

I know we teased this information sometime last year, but new details have emerged. Behemoth‘s Nergal will be releasing a new album this year. Except, well, it’s going to be country/blues. Very interesting, indeed.
Remember when Darkest Hour were actually kinda big? Well, they’re not anymore really. In fact, they are crowdfunding to help support a new album. If you’re a fan, could be kinda cool to directly contribute to the cause.
So efforts have been put in place to get a bronze statue of Lemmy put up at The Rainbow Bar and Grill. And now you can help contribute. And I thoroughly hope you do so.
The 3rd wave of bands have been announced for New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Oceano, Disentomb, and Carnivora have all been added. If that’s your thing. Spoiler alert: it’s not mine.
Wild Throne have a new music video for “Fear Yourself.” Also not my thing, but I’m sure somebody out there will like it.

Canto: Updates from Lindemann, Lamb of God, Thy Art is Murder, and More!

Hello. It’s Friday. Let’s get weird.

Obviously, we’re all a little curious about Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann‘s new project, Lindemann. Some further details emerged today, as it turns out Carach Angren keyboardist Ardek will be contributing orchestral arrangements.
Well, we finally have some legitimate evidence that a new Lamb of God record is coming in the near future. And by “near future” I mean “probably 2016.” Better than nothing, I guess.
Here’s a new tour alert for your Friday: Veil of Maya, Revocation, Oceano and others will be hitting the road together in May and June. That could be fun…for people other than me.
Thy Art is Murder almost wanted to make noise with the cover of their upcoming album, Holy War. It looks innocent enough now…but it almost featured a suicide bomber. That probably wouldn’t have gone over well.
Finally, because it’s Friday, you’re getting a David Hasselhoff music video. Because it’s metal as all hell.

You must be entertained!

Quickies: Killer Be Killed’s live debut, Scott Ian’s upcoming appearance on “The Walking Dead”, and more!

Only a mere four days until Behemoth at the House of Blues! I’m not counting down or anything…

I guess I’ll get this nonsense out of the way. Scott Ian will be making an appearance on The Walking Dead this coming Sunday. He’ll be a zombie. And I’ll be a person that doesn’t care. Like usual.
Illuminate Me, a metal band out of Florida, is starting a petition to prevent Facebook from charging bands to increase their followers. It will amount to nothing, considering the money invested in Facebook is optional. It’d be like me petitioning against oil companies that charge me for keeping me warm. It’s a service. And services cost money.
Here is some footage of Killer Be Killed’s first live debut. Pretty good stuff right there. Yup.
More updates regarding the new Soilwork album. According to Björn Strid, it is going to be more intense than The Living Infinite. Ya know, that reminds, I should probably check that album out at some point.
Oceano released a new track called “Transcient Gateways” and it’s, well, rather aggressive:

Some intense shit right there. Ascendents will be out March 24th.
