Artist: Danzig

February is always an exciting time of year to plan ahead for music festival season and this week has been a busy one around these parts. Everyone else is getting busy, too; it looks like the Bonnaroo website was just relaunched with a new set of 2012 graphics and a promise of an artist announcement [...]

Metallica Beyond Magnetic Vertigo Records 30 January 2012 by Tom Doyle If we follow the chronology of that famous T-shirt , we appear to currently be in the "death" phase of Metallica's career. I recently took to these very pages to explain why Lulu was not the worst album of 2011 but [...]

Today's your lucky day! Although Friday the 13th is known to be a day of unfortunate accidents, faux pas, and all around unhappy occurrences that we chalk up to "bad luck," as any gambler knows, luck can turn on a dime. Gathered here in this video roundup are songs that we hope will change your luck today. So have a happy day, everyone, and remember, 13th or otherwise, it's still Friday! Danzig - Thirteen Johnny Cash - Thirteen [...]

I have a soft side, too. Catch me at the right time and I might even have a tear building up in one eye. I'm not just about those huge fuzzy riffs or deafening bass and drums. Sometimes I just wanna relax and forget about all my troubles - to drift away quietly and comfortably while acoustic guitars and a soothing voice tell me everything's gonna be okay. Don't you? Lately when I want that part of my brain tickled, I've been reaching for Along the Gallows , the debut full-length album by The Bailey Hounds [...]

In short: Yes, yes it is. We're not entirely sure why Dez Fafara (DevilDriver, Coal Chamber), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (Prong, Rob Zombie, Danzig, Ozzy Osbourne), and John Tempesta (White Zombie, Testament, The Cult) decided it would be a good idea to team up and cover 'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer' (for the Metal Christmas album, We Wish You A Merry Xmas and a Headbanging New Year ). Neither are we quite sure whether or not the beyond OTT nature of the result in any way justifies the idea's inherent stupidity. [...]

Metallica recently celebrated their 30th anniversary with some special friends.

Metallica certainly saved the best for last. All last week, the band took over The Filmore in San Francisco for a series of intimate shows to celebrate their 30 years as a band. They really loaded the final two shows with the big guns. On Friday, they brought out Danzig, Halford and Jerry Cantrell. On ...

In 1916, psychologist Hugo Münsterberg published the first work of film theory, The Photoplay: A Psychological Study . Münsterberg claims film and theater are distinctly separate because moving pictures are freed from the constraints of space, time, and causality. This isolation from the practical world provides a completely different psychic experience through "the perfect unity of plot and pictorial experience". As the emerging art form developed in the 1920s, French artists sought to create films that employed only uniquely cinematic techniques without any other influences. This movement, later dubbed Cinema Pur or "Pure Cinema", sought to free film from [...]

Atlanta's MonstrO brings together a mesmerizing work of art in their self-titled debut. Composed of ex-members of Bloodsimple, Danzig and Torche, Kyle Sanders, Bevan Davies, Juan Montoya and Charlie Suarez creates a sound that reminds one of 70s hard rock. But that's not all. By listening to the album, one can hear that this album [...]

From Kris Kross to Danzig, SoCal writer, Liz Ortega tells us about her '90s identity crisis along with her brutal fashion sense.

Ever wonder what Slayer's rider looks like? Well, now we have the answers: The Most Metal Metal Band of All Time apparently loves Gogurt, Bowflex, Hogan's Heroes, hand sanitizer, and hand satanizer. And the craziest part about this document is that it's apparently 100% real - Transmission Entertainment is the company that puts on FunFunFun [...]

A breakdown of the Weird, the Wild, and the Fantastic acts that made Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011 live up to its name.

Norman Toronto Three think-sunny-thoughts reasons to get out of the house and wander over to the Double Door tonight... 1. The Albany Park quintet Norman Toronto and His Band easily fit within Chicago's vast and exciting psychedelic rock scene with its penchant for low-rumbling, swirling rhythms and sharp guitar solos. The glue that holds these ragamuffins together is Norman Toronto himself. The frontman's rich baritone triggers thoughts to other great dramatic vocalists such as Morrissey and Danzig. The band's album Rock and Roll [...]

Danzig played a short set at Fun Fun Fest on November 4th, 2011. The ex-Samhain/Misfits crooner scheduled an hour-and-a-half set of Danzig, Misfits and Samhain material, but only played two Misfits songs. On Fun Fun Fun Fest's Face Book page, Graham, the festival booker, comments on what maybe the concert fiasco of the year.. "Hi. I book the fest. Those that are hating could NOT be more wrong. Yes, someone has your money and ripped you off. His name is Glenn. Stop by his house in LA with some kitty litter in trade for your refund, [...]

So, hey, remember how Danzig acted like a real douche at Fun Fun Fun Fest this past weekend 'cause he didn't get a bowl of French onion soup? Well, Slayer - who also played the festival - have never been above a little good ol' fashioned shit talking in the press, and I guess they [...]
