Artist: Dios

With the sad anniversary of Ronnie James Dio's death some three years ago comes an opportunity to return to a muscular concert offering that finds him near the peak of his solo powers. Eagle Rock's Finding the Sacred Heart: Live in Philly( due on May 28, 2013 on CD/DVD, Blu-ray and for the first time on vinyl) includes fully restored [...]

Joel Jerome played in a band called Dios that made some very cool albums in the aughts. His new cassette tape Babies On Acid is out now on Burger Records. Dios carved out a special place in my heart by balancing California beach vibes with After The Goldrush Neil Young vibes. That's not really normal. Babies On Acid (which is the name of Jerome's band with Kevin Morales) is a real solid re-introduction to the fine touch that he brings to [...]

"Dream On" suddenly sounds a thousand times more bad-ass.

Poco más de 10 días han pasado desde que nació la mayor parida de los últimos tiempos. Un meme, un vídeo viral, y Baauer de por medio. Tol hype pal [....]

El hombre que desencadenó una de las revoluciones culturales más importantes del siglo XX - el movimiento psicodélico-, no imaginó las consecuencias que ocasionaría un descubrimiento  accidental al que llegó como químico mientras trabajaba con el cornezuelo del centeno, buscando una sustancia que actuara activamente sobre la matriz de las mujeres. El nombre de ese químico es Albert Hofmann , su descubrimiento, el LSD . En El Dios de los ácidos, conversaciones con Albert Hofmann , Antonio Gnoli y Franco Volpi  se encuentran con un Hoffmann [...]

I was in the gym the other day and threw my iPod on full random. All 12,000+ songs randomly jarbled together coming at me like a shit cannon. As someone who's worked in music for a long time I have tons of albums I've never listened to that random people have given me to listen to. At one point I put everything on my iPod. That is until it filled up. It's been a couple years since that happened

La última novedad del ex-lider de Oasis, Noel Gallagher, ha sido una descabellada, íronica y enorme declaración al diario ingles The Sun,donde afirma no estar nada preocupado por su ingreso al paraíso puesto que ese lugar lo tiene asegurado desde hace mucho tiempo ya que Dios es un gran fan de Oasis y que 'Don't [...]

Noel Gallagher, ha sido una descabellada, íronica y enorme declaración al diario ingles The Sun, donde afirma no estar nada preocupado por su ingreso al paraíso puesto que ese lugar lo tiene asegurado desde hace mucho tiempo ya que Dios es un gran fan de Oasis y que 'Don't Look Back In Anger' es su boleto a dicho lugar.

Llego la nueva era, sin meteoritos ni desastres extremas (al menos por el momento), y aqui seguimos contaminando el aire, el agua, y las redes digitales con restos del milenio, y por supuesto, olas sonoras. El Tuumben Tuukul fue predestinado como compilacion de fin de era, inspirada por los mayas obviamente, y con artistas de la Mexicanisima TROPIC ALL, que aunque incluye artistas de cajon como JAVIER ESTRADA, SANTOS, PEDRO INFAME y compañia, este se enfoca a los ritmos prehispanicos bastardizados con lo que refiere nuestra era digitalizada, y como tributo a los dioses mayas. ¿Que podemos encontrar en esta [...]

Before you read the recap, browse the massive photo gallery from Bloodstock This being my third Bloodstock in a row, it felt much more like a yearly traditional visit with an old friend than it did “work”. Boasting what was described by many as being their “best line-up yet” and also the best weather I’d ... The post Bloodstock 2012 Recap appeared first on Metal Injection .

I've always found the practice of naming such a strange and fascinating concept. Today more than ever we put such a huge importance on finding the right name for things be it a nick name, stage name, band name, or even a profile user name. I'm sure at some point in your life you've even ... The post Exploring 25 Heavy Metal Stage Name Origins appeared first on Metal Injection .

Ultravox: “Brilliant” On this, the most aptly titled album of the year, synthpop gods Ultravox return with their best CD since “Quartet.” Songs vacillate from groove-heavy dance tracks to tear-enducing ballads all showing singer Midge Ure's voice is in fine form. The only bad news is the CD has not been released in America yet, but Amazon.com has it as an import and yes, it is worth spending the extra cash. Pet Shop Boys: “Elysium” The first two albums [...]

This photo has nothing to do with the story, I just thought it was hilarious. Ronnie James Dio is dead... but not gone. Even though his last recorded song, "Electra," was released posthumously in 2010 as part of the Dio boxset Tournado, that band's drummer, Simon Wright, has revealed in a new interview that the great RJD left behind [...]

Shake off that weekend rust with gulp of fresh-roasted musical goodness from the likes of Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Jefferson Starship's Craig Chaquico and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen - not to mention Jamey Johnson, John McLaughlin and the Fusion Syndicate. Reissues this week include key moments from Alice Cooper, Buddy Guy, Dio, Iron Maiden and Professor Longhair. Also, [...]

Reader Dmitriy Gak brought the Tumblr blog Peretcadsart! to our attention via our Facebook page; the site is entirely devoted to (delibertately) horrible MS paint version of famous metal album covers, which sounds like the stupidest thing ever... but is actually pretty goddamn funny. I can't even really place my finger on why I find it so funny... I [...]

Hey MetalSucks awesomes it's me Anso DF! What's up! lol Say, can I ask for a hearty round of applause for your weekly Shit That Comes Out Today host, he of the name Shanbomb? That hunk straight up busts his buns every week in service of STCOT and we all get so much from his tireless [...]

Brace yourselves for the return of a trio of 1970s-era hitmakers: Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra fame, former Eagles guitarist Don Felder and Kiss are all back, to the delight of baby boomer rock lovers everywhere. Also out with fresh product this week are Beth Hart, Rez Abbasi and Danko Jones, among others. Several interesting reissues headed your way, [...]

I tried to pretend to care about all the recent Queensrÿche drama, but then I found a booger in my nose and picked it instead; I found that a much more satisfying use of my time than wondering whether or not Geoff Tate has a screw loose. (He does.) That being said, I also kind of [...]
