Sumerian-records-10-year-tour

There were a lot of band realignments today. Or, well, people that just left their bands and have yet to be replaced. It’s been fun.

First up, and best up, is Emmure! Literally every singe member left except Frankie Palmeri, who vows to continue with the band. Good. Luck. Bro.
Meanwhile in Downfall of Gaia Land, the band has split with founding guitarist Peter Wolff. A replacement has yet to be announced.
Ok, moving on. Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, and After the Burial will be leading the charge in Sumerian Records 10 Year Tour. I’m skipping.
And one more tour. Puscifer will be hitting North America in the early stages of 2016. Shows all over the damn place, so if that’s your thing, go for it.
Finally, in case you were in need of a Christmas card idea, Iron Maiden is here to help.

CANTO: Housecore Horror Festival 2015, Ozzy and Bill Ward Make Nice (Kinda), and More

Hey, everyone. Reporting from Baltimore today, getting pumped for the first night of MDF. Needless to say I’m excited. Let’s see what else is going on out there:

Housecore Horror Festival 2015 has released its first round of bands. There are some good ones… including the likes of Suffocation, YOB, and Eyehategod.
Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward were able to put aside their differences briefly in order to accept a Lifetime Achievement award at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards.
Album sales from the week that was. Veil of Maya had their best debut yet. Not a whole lot else.
Ronnie James Dio passed away five years ago this past weekend. In honor, his wife, Wendy, Eddie Money, and more paid tribute.
Secrets of the Sky‘s new album, Pathway, will be discussed in full here tomorrow. Until then, however, check out their new music video for “Eternal Wolves”:

That’s it. I’m out.

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: Tour updates from Manson, Testament, and Exodus. More importantly, new Convulse!

February 24, 2015February 24, 2015CoreyLeave a comment

Today can go fuck itself. That is all.

How can I not kick things off with Viva La Muerta paying tribute to Iron Maiden and King Diamond? Ms. La Muerta is a little person. Yep, not lying to you.
Some tour updates: Marilyn Manson has added new dates to his North American tour in April and May. Almost an identical story for Exodus and Testament.
Here’s something different. Will Carroll, drummer for Death Angel, broke his foot taking out the trash. I couldn’t make that up if I tried. Just… more weird stuff today.
In case you weren’t paying attention, vocalist Brandon Butler abruptly left Veil of Maya. Today, he announced his new project, Lost Origins, on the social medias.
You guys remember Convulse? I sure remember Convulse. So here’s some new Convulse!

The track is called “Pangea”. A little different, but still very much Convulse death n’ roll at its core.

Quickies: More Boo-Hoos from Wintersun, Obscura News, and More

December 19, 2014December 19, 2014CoreyLeave a comment

It’s Friday, I’m tired, and I’ve got a bus to catch, so these will be brief. Here are today’s Quickies–let’s see what we missed in the metal world today:

Remember yesterday’s Quickies, when it seemed like Jari Mäenpää had quit his whining and started to focus on recording new Wintersun things? Well…that statement was a bit premature, because here he is complaining again. On Facebook, no less.
Good news from Obscura: they’ve started pre-production on their follow-up to 2011’s Omnivium! I’ve no idea what this interactive project might be, but color me intrigued either way.
Also in remember yesterday: that new Chris Broderick / Shawn Drover project? Welp, it’s got a vocalist: former Scar the Martyr frontman Henry David Bonner.
Veil of Maya is going to be releasing…something…on January 1, 2015. Which is good news if you care about Veil of Maya. (We don’t.)
And finally, here’s a parody of Ghost’s “Year Zero” that we never knew we wanted:

I’m gonna go sleep for the next 34 hours. Enjoy your weekends, folks.
