Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, if only because it gives me an excuse to sit down with a bowl of candy and watch Horror movies all month . I like to spend Halloween night proper taking in as many flicks as possible, but since I have the displeasure of having to work Halloween night, I'm going to try and pass along some of the fun to you, with a massive 26 song Halloween pile-up. They aren't in any particular order -- that's for you to decide -- but I think you'll find some new [...]

En rentrant en avion de Bangkok pour Londres après un long voyage , installé dans mon siège confortable avec mon écran individuel, je me baladais alors à travers les différents programmes multimédia proposés et j'étais tombé sur un documentaire qui avait attiré mon attention : 7 Ages of Rock . Produit par la BBC , ce documentaire se découpe en 7 épisodes d'une cinquantaine de minutes chacun essayant de retracer l'histoire du rock à travers de nombreuses images d'archives et interviews. Chaque épisode se concentre sur un type de rock en particulier, se basant généralement sur deux [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Television Spinner.com : Ozzy Osbourne's clan will return to TV on Fox this January for what's being billed as a variety series. But Ozzy's not a fan of the "V" word. "The word variety sticks in my throat," he tells Spinner. "It's not like we're Sonny and Cher or... Read more
Full disclosure on today's Black Sabbath - Iron Man covers: I recently did some design and creative project producing for Birmingham's blackest. The experience was definitely fun, but also odd to say the least. It mostly consisted of me sliding work under Sharon's door (figuratively speaking) and waiting a month for the mysterious thumbs up or thumbs down. It also had me, depending on the day/mood/hour, photoshopping in, or out ,various members heads when they got in bickering matches over who looked older, or taller, or got to wear a leather trench [...]
So how many Joes are involved in the McCain campaign, anyhow? Joe Sixpack, Joe the Plumber... what about Joe Metal? Doesn't anyone care about his needs? We do, that's for damn skippy. So here's a video to remind us why we're all here in the first place, a video that I'm fairly certain we can all [...]
Nottingham, UK based FT were formed in 1989 by then 18-year named Alex Newport, along with Dave Riley and Adrian Parkin. While they never achieved any commercial success, they are still seen by many as a British equivalent of grunge bands from Seattle (even though the band itself was annoyed by such comparisons and tried [...]
![Project X Would Do Anything For Love, But It Won't Sing That [Project X]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1292612_lg.jpg)
As part of Idolator's continuing effort to geekily analyze every music chart known to man, we present a new edition of Project X, in which Michaelangelo Matos breaks down top-ten lists from every genre imaginable. In this special Oct. 10 edition of his column—it is 10/10, after all—he breaks down some of the worst lyrics to reach the airwaves of British radio. In May 2007 the British radio station BBC6 conducted a survey of the worst lyrics in pop. BBC6's Top 10 Worst Lyrics (listener [...]
From the Inside Looking Out is our opportunity to have those involved within the music world tell us a bit about things from their point of view. This time around, we have Daniel Neely from the New York Musicians Index and Archive over at the ARChive of Contemporary Music talking about the NYMIA and the New York State Black Sabbath Covers Project . At some point during the summer of 2002, my mother-in-law sat my wife, her sister and I down to tell us how she "just loved that [...]
Hailing from an industrial town of Birmingham, a birthplace of the likes of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, Godflesh represented a new chapter in the story of rock music. Equally influenced by heavy metal bands like afromentioned Sabbath, as well as more experimental bands like Can and Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", Godflesh would go [...]
Well as we told you, Metallica leads this year's group of nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , following last years inductees , and people are actually placing bets on who is going to win; as you could probably guess, almost all bets are directed towards the metal gods, despite the fact that they haven't released anything to their full potential in more than 15 years, and their latest album has stirred mixed opinions . After Black Sabbath were included [...]
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame announced this year's nominees yesterday. There are some noteworthy bands up for it this year, and hopefully the ones that really deserve it (Run DMC, IGGY FUCKING POP) will get in. But even if they do the Rock Hall has a lot of ground to make up in order to become remotely respectable again. Don't forget, these asshole let The Bee Gees and The Eagles in. Those two bands probably did more to destroy rock and roll than any other band in recent memory. Sure, there are plenty of [...]
MySpace Page Discogs Page Thrones And Dominions (Fan Site) Earth Bio/Discography On Sub Pop Seattle-based Earth, seen by many as godfathers of so-called drone/ambient metal genre, which spawned bands like Sunn O))), were formed in the early 90s by Dylan Carlson, along with Slim Moon and Greg Babior. They took name from an original name for Black Sabbath. Moon and [...]
...we're blessed with a tremendous library system (courtesy of those crunchy-granola liberal thinkers in nearby Portland, who consider books and music to be an important resource for a strong community). So, in the spirit of turning you on to new grooves, here's the first of (still) another new (occasional) series from Fusion 45: I Found It At The Library. George Harrison - You - A semi-hit, I guess, from dear old George but highly underrated. An ass-kicking studio team, including our [...]
![Review: Pidgeon | Might As Well Go Eat Worms [MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1255778_lg.jpg)
The long-awaited sophomore set from San Francisco quintet Pidgeon is not groundbreaking, but it is refreshingly raw and uncompromising. The seven-year-old act employs a broad scope spanning intense screamo and quietly haunting, melodic sections that recall early Smashing Pumpkins . Mostly, Pidgeon is heavy. The bootcrunch of its three-guitar attack gives the choruses of "California (Is For F*ckers)" the impact of a flurry of bodyblows, an impact not diminished by the sweetness of the layered vocal lines. The brilliantly titled "Kafka Does His Shopping From Home" thrashes through an old school hardcore-influenced verse that could [...]

Happy Birthday, Baby Z! No, Boy Z. Happy Birthday, my pea. My chicken. My monkey. Happy Birthday, Z-Man. My Super Z. Happy Birthday, Zachary P. Quack. It's been a year, a year beyond my wildest dreams. I remember clearly, and hope I always do, the days leading up to your arrival in the world. I remember the seemingly endless labor, probably worse for your Mum. I remember running out of energy entirely and sleeping on a bed made of various delivery implements [...]
It's Tuesday night, which means another 5 songs from the vault. Dipping back for some classics this time. Spiral Architect by Black Sabbath, from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath [Warner, 1973] // [ A cool fan video thereof ] When I think Sabbath, my mind tends to wander more toward lumbering giants like "War Pigs," not to a song like this, which builds off a damn pretty acoustic part and features some quite elegant string sections. Even Ozzy, despite the need to include the word "sorcerer" in everything, does a [...]
Being a metal master isn't easy; that skullet certainly doesn't take care of itself. That's why we decided to track down Ronnie James Dio* of Heaven and Hell to find out the secrets behind rocking metal's most metal hair-do, the almighty skullet. Ronnie was kind enough to share his tips and tricks behind his luscious [...]
The biggest metal tour of 2008 rolled through San Antonio at the Verizon Wireless this past Sunday with Testament, Motorhead, Heaven and Hell, and Judas Priest in tow. It was Heavy Metal Parking Lot come to life, only with several more "special" parking spaces for the decidedly older crowd. The night started off with the triumphant [...]
