Two German heavy metal heavyweights are teaming up for a massive North American tour. Kreator and Accept will co-headline what they are calling the "Teutonic Terror Attack" tour. Swallow The Sun are confirmed to open the entire tour. MetalSucks reports local advertising showing that Ringworm is opening the tour, but there is no official confirmation ...
After a promoter in Cleveland, OH spilled the beans yesterday, the organizers of the fall U.S. tour with Kreator, Accept, Swallow the Sun and Ringworm have done the only logical thing they can: they've gone ahead and announced the whole darn tour. The trek kicks off September 5th in Washington D.C., works its way left [...]
There's been a kind of bizarre trend as of late of local venues basically spoiling entire tour announcements by releasing info regarding their own date for said trek too soon. For better or worse, the latest perpetrator in this trend is Peabody's in Cleveland, Ohio, who posted the below photo on Facebook for a show [...]
There weren't any major heavy hitters with new albums last week, but there were plenty of great, new releases from mid-level and smaller bands including Torche, Prong, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Cancer Bats, Unleashed and Disfiguring the Goddess, all of which broke the Top 100 of the Current Hard Music chart. Those numbers, plus more: 8 [...]
Apologies for the lateness of the column this week; the MS Mansion Monkey who's usually in charge of sending me the weekly Soundscan numbers went on a banana-eating binge Tuesday night and is only just now recovering from two solid days of vomiting and explosive diarrhea. But fear not, because there a ton of big [...]
Accept Stalingrad Nuclear Blast 06 April 2012 by Tom Dare When German more-metal-than-all veterans, Accept , came back with their first album in 14 years in 2010, there was plenty of celebrating a spectacular comeback. There was also plenty of commentary about how immensely metal Accept are, to the point it's become a cliché. What's been perhaps slightly overlooked by some – and should be no longer – is how brilliant this band actually are. [...]
Accept surprised pretty much everyone with 20102s stellar comeback album Blood For the Nations. I was skeptical that Accept could be any good with anyone other than Udo Dirkschneider, but new vocalist Mark Tornillo (ex-TT Quick*) blew us all out of the water while underscoring the fact that the rest of the band, not Udo, [...]
ambient, neo new age, peace Inner Islands So this is the last Wyld Wyzrds album, but this doesn't mean Braden J. McKenna, the Coyote Dreamer quit his passion as creator of beautiful, peaceful ambient music. I suppose he will incarnate to some new figure in his circle of friends (Stag Hare, gkfoes vjgoaf etc). The first WW album was Light Upon Light... a great lofi sounding shoegaze [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ] DFBM Releases [...]
To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]

I would sometimes have waking nightmares about my external hard drive crashing. All my photos, documents and, most importantly, my music would slip through my fingers like sand, into the dark netherworld where deleted data rests eternally (I imagine it as something like this ). But fear not, I would run to my computer, plug in the ol' external and rest easy to the comforting sound of the electric hum. "Don't worry," the hum would say, "your music is safe with me." Apparently that hum is a fucking liar. Just as I was transferring music [...]

The legendary Accept and als0-legendary Overkill played the Best Buy Theater in right here in New York City last month, and our homegirl/photographic wizard Alyssa Lorenzon was there to snap pictures, so that you, our beloved readers, could live vicariously through the magic of photography. And in case that epically epic photo of Wolf Hoffmann and Herman [...]
Since summer and, thus, summer festivals are almost upon us, I thought I'd take a closer look at Sonisphere, one of the biggest European music festivals. Mostly because I wanted to do some research on it, since it's the only festival in which I am indulging this year. Probably. (Note: I don't much like festivals, [...]
In a desolate, windswept region of north-west Wales lies a sheep strewn sea-side town named Prestatyn. Within its bowels is a dinky holiday village that goes by the name of Pontins. Amidst the out of date 1950s chalet glamour (malfunctioning showers, flushing toilets and horrifically stained duvets) several thousand metallers ran, stumbled and fell over ...
If you're reading this, it's safe to say that you probably weren't at this year's Hammerfest. No, if you were at Pontins in Prestatyn this weekend, by all rights you should be slowly crawling back home through the fug of an almighty hangover, and bracing yourself against the after effects of a neck-busting bangover. Well, [...]

We're sorry, but this is straight out of Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour and she didn't need to be nice to Whitney Houston after she dissed her. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: 53 , acceptance , awards , gaga , grammy , grammys , high , hq , lady , live , quality , speech , video
