No Sledge Tonight-AH!

I'm sad to say there will be no Sledge tonight. KZSC scored a bunch of ticket packs to a sneak preview screening of Paranormal Activities. Rock hard while I'm getting the shit scared of me.

If you still wish to hear some heavy metal tunes, cruise over to Metal Injection and stream The Epicast. Don't forget to give us horns up there!

Midgets of Bodom

So Children of Bodom have a covers album coming out soon entitled "Skeletons in the Closet." No, COB isn't gay, but they are in fact midgets. or Dwarfs, whatever they prefer to be called:

Megadeth on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Playlist September 17th, 2009: Amon Amarth Tribute

Alright, well Metalbeard and I made it to the station with about two minutes to spare so I put on a little Maiden: Rime of the Ancient Mariner to buy us some time to grab cds. Because I was a bit flustered, I didn't play all that I had intended to. For Metal Beard's Bearded Bands, we did a tribute to Viking Masters Amon Amarth. Congratulations to Brian for winning a pair of tickets to Edguy! We still have one pair left, so you'll have one more chance next week.

Joey DeMaio Would Be Proud: Album Review: 3 Inches of Blood - Here Waits Thy Doom

I guess the reason I've waited so long to review this album was that my initial impressions of this album were less than satisfactory. 3 Inches of Blood is one of my favorite bands and upon hearing this album, I was sorely disappointed.

At the request of some close friends I was encouraged to give the album a closer listen. This time I loaded it up on my powerful sound system and cranked up the speakers.

Here Waits Thy Doom saw a departure of co-vocalist Jamie Hooper and thus departure from 3 Inches of Blood's iconic sound. Maybe that's why my first impression of this album was poor, it wasn't what I was expecting. Instead, 3 Inches of Blood takes a more traditional Heavy Metal sound akin to bands like Manowar.

Songs on the album spans fist-pumping anthems of "Battles And Brotherhood" to Southern Rockesque "Preachers Daughter" to Powerful riffs on "Silent Killer." With no original band members left, 3IOB brought their A-game. Cam Pipes Halfordesque vocals are as good as ever, but seem out of place on "Call of the Hammer."

Ok, so my first time listening to this I would've given it a 2/5, but after this second listen I'm giving Here Waits Thy Doom 3 1/2 out of 5. Give this album a chance to grow on you.

Slayer World Painted Blood Cover Art Revealed

Calling all Slayer Suckas.

Press release from Slayer:

Die-hard Slayer fans, get ready.

World Painted Blood will initially ship with four special collector's edition CD covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world.

All four of the initial CD packages will include a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it.

The World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition will have its own special layout of the map cover art and will be in a double-digipak housed in a blood-red, see-through plastic sleeve. The Deluxe Edition will include the World Painted Blood CD, the "Playing With Dolls" DVD, a 20-minute animated graphic novel featuring music from the album (including part of a new non-album song), and an expanded booklet.

Ok, so I know I'm not going to buy 4 versions of the same album to piece together a hokey map of the world, but based on the comments on Slayer.net a lot of people are. Not a bad way to increase album sales when you have an almost fanatical following.

WRONG!

Municipal Waste just released this kick ass video for the single "Wrong Answer" off of Massive Aggressive. I love it when a kick ass band doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Review: Endgame Restarts Megadeth

Endgame kicks off with a ripping instrumental of trade off solos between Dave Mustang and lead guitarist Chris Broderick showing right from the get-go that Megadeth is back and not fucking around.

The lead track, "Dialectic Chaos" jumps directly into "This Day We Fight!" and feels like the pace picks up even more. This is classic Megadeth Speed Metal. It's no surprise I'm two tracks in and I already like Endgame about a billion times more than the abomination that is United Abominations.

This album has everything: Songs about fighting, guns, fast cars, the economy, torture, insanity (can you have a Megadeth album without a song about insanity?). Oh and there's a love song and an acoustic song, but hey, we all know Dave has his sensitive side.

That all said, Dave Mustang's lyrics are actually kind of good. Although they do get a little cheesy on the title track "Endgame" which details in Sci-Fi fashion the end of Democracy in America. As for Dave's vocals, I guess you're either a fan or you're not.

The shining star of this album without a doubt is "Headcrusher." Pre-released months ago, "Headcrusher" quite truthfully blew everyone away. Right from the get go it slams your face against a brink wall and refuses to relent.

Master shredder Chris Broderick puts his balls to the wall for his deput Megadeth album and injects a bout of fresh energy into the band.



I give Endgame Four out of Five Hammers.

Kirk Is The Most Sensitive.

Comedian Jim Breuer conducted an interview with some band called Metallica.

What's The Deal With Norse Mythology?

Ok, I'm really unsure why I find this so funny.

Coming soon...

...album reviews for Megadeth's Endgame, Municipal Waste's Massive Aggressive and 3 Inches of Blood's Here Waits Thy Doom. Stay tuned!
