1 cruise ship, 4 days, 42 bands, 2,000 fans! Yes, I had to do it again! 70,000 Tons of Meta l, 2012! I had such a great time last year that I had to go for a reprise and see what would happen! I've got a photo album here with many more photos, and this entry is the companion to my radio show, airing Thursday Feb 2nd at noon. When the archive is posted, it will be linked here . It's true, I had a lot of prior experience, so I had already been [...]

I'm going to put about as much effort into this introduction as Randy Blythe is putting into his presidential campaign. That's actually probably not fair to Blythe, who skateboarded and had someone film him for that ad; I'm really just going to sit here on my ass and not care very much. ANYWAY, we begin today [...]

This week just flew by! I can't believe it's already Thursday. While things are moving slowly in the metal world, there were enough little bits of music to create the first A/V Roundup of 2012. Here we go: If you're not sick of all this Metallica anniversary news, there is way better footage available for ...

Eluveitie have released a new song, "A Rose for Epona," which you can check out below. I usually like Eluveitie, but this lil' ditty ain't doing much for me - I feel weird saying this, and I'm sure the band's most hardcore supporters will all have fucking aneurysm for me daring to suggest such a thing, but [...]

The band will celebrate by hitting the road for a North American tour with some heavy hitters providing support, Eluveitie, Revocation and Threat Signal. That's quite the unique bill of bands. The party kicks off on January 30th in Rochester, NY ...

Children of Bodom have been making anthemic, hair-metal-influenced melodeath about getting drunk and hating and killing things for fifteen years already? My oh my, how time flies! The band will celebrate their birthday next year with a North American headlining tour, on which support will come from Eluveitie, Revocation (or "Revocator," as it says on [...]

Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie just finished up their North American tour with 3 Inches of Blood, Holy Grail, and System Divide. Having been a fan since the release of Spirit, I was super pumped to finally see them live. As any fan of theirs knows, they have a vast array of musical instruments that they ...

Earlier this month I caught Eluveitie, Holy Grail and System Divide at NYC's Gramercy Theater at the beginning of their month-long North American trek [check Eluveitie's tour blogs]. Unfortunately 3 Inches of Blood were trapped in Cleveland (the horror!) due to van problems, so I was bummed to learn I wouldn't be catching them on [...]

News "Superskum" (web site) conducted an interview with vocalist Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann of Swiss folk metallers ELUVEITIE on February 11, 2011 in Denver, Colorado.

It occurred to me sometime this afternoon that Frankie Palmeri may very well read what I wrote about him earlier today, and decide the best course of action is to invite me onto his tour bus to settle our conflict through calm, intelligent discussion, only to sucker punch me when the bus door opens. Thus, [...]

Ah, Valentine's Day. Reviled by most, enjoyed by the smug, and shrugged off by the belligerently ambivalent. But while most of us couldn't care less about this specific day in February, it's still an annoyance that comes around every year. Kind of like the common cold. Now, most places will have shitloads of "quirky" recommendations [...]

How come Miss Piggy can't count to 70? 'Cause every time she gets to 69, she gets a frog in her throat. ANYWAY, here's how we amused ourselves this week: We debuted new videos from DevilDriver and Intronaut. We also debuted new music from Battilus and VYGR. We started a cool new series of tour [...]
