EVERYBODY SING WITH ME NOW: "I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY, I FEEL PRETTY, AND WITTY, AND BRIIIIIIIGHT!" No West Side Story fans in the house? No one? Okay, fuck it. Here's what happened in the world of FUCKING METAL this week: We're streaming Mantric's The Descent in its entirety. We're giving away new tracks by Nevermore and [...]

Like a lot of people, I first became familiar with Brian Posehn because of his time on David Cross and Bob Odenkirk's brilliant HBO sketch comedy series, Mr. Show, for which he was also a writer. A few years after that show went off the air, my then-roommate and I went to see Posehn do [...]

Ready to revisit fall of 1990? Well, if you're planning on checking out the Slayer / Megadeth co-headlining tour, you'll be revisiting 1990 whether you want to or not. Each of the thrash metal legends will be playing its respective 20-year-old album in its entirety; for Slayer this means fifth studio album Seasons in the Abyss , while for Megadeth it means fourth studio LP Rust in Peace . Apparently tour opener Testament will just be playing a regular show. This decision makes a lot of sense, being that Slayer and Megadeth [...]

Slayer are making good on their promise to tour with Megadeth and Testament, in fact, they are making it even better. The band will be playing Seasons In The Abyss, their 1990 classic in its entirety. Having been at the show where Slayer taped the live recording of them doing Reign In Blood (whats up: Lewiston, Maine) we are stoked about this go around. Hell, "classic-ness" aside, Seasons In The

The upcoming American and Canadian Carnage tours featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament are already massive enough just with the bands that are performing. But they've decided to turn it up just a little bit more. Both Slayer and Megadeth will play their classic albums in their entirety at every stop. Slayer will break out their album Seasons In The Abyss and Megadeth will rock out Rust In Peace from beginning to end (via Blabbermouth ). Both albums were released in 1990 and both were responsible for pushing [...]

This just became the MUST SEE tour of the Summer, as far as I'm concerned. We just got an official press release stating that on the upcoming American Carnage tour both co-headlining acts, Slayer and Megadeth will each be playing their classic 1990 releases (Seasons in the Abyss and Rust In Peace respectively) in it's ...

It seems to me that the current trend in metal of bands playing classic albums live in their entirety all started when Dave Lombardo returned to Slayer and the band started playing Reign in Blood from start to finish (complete with raining "blood"); then Metallica did Master of Puppets, and then pretty much everyone jumped [...]

I hear people talk about Slayer's Kerry King in tones that suggest that he is, like, commonly viewed as arrogant or something. And now you can tell by my tone that King rules, and that those who disagree can shampoo my crotch anytime on weekdays between the hours of noon and six. For one thing, [...]

By: Navjot Kaur In what may seem an unlikely collaboration, Testament and Shadows Fall joined forces to cover a heavy metal classic: Ozzy Osbourne's very own, "Bark at the Moon." It was during Shadow Fall's performance in Toronto, ON that Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick provided this energetic cameo for the band's live-take on the 27 year ...

"Bark at the Moon" is to Shadows Fall as "Holy Diver" is to Killswitch Engage. They're both covers of classic solo tracks by former Sabbath vocalists, and both songs were released in their original incarnation in 1983. (The connection between the two songs gets even weirder if you consider that Vinny Appice played drums on [...]

No one can fault Dave Mustaine for putting together a tour in lieu of the stillborn American Carnage trek. But as always the Megadeth frontman aims for maximum annoyance and as such his new tour is a brazen approximation of Carnage minus Slayer. As a member of Slayer, Kerry King must be distressed to find [...]

Carnage will strike the streets of North America this summer! Loud music and large men will rain death and destruction upon the masses! Someone buy me a ticket! Yes, metalheads, the American Carnage tour featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament has been rescheduled and will go through both the U.S. and Canada. The tour will kick off July 23rd in Quebec City, QC Canada and go all the way through Labor Day weekend with the final show taking place on September 4th in Portland, OR. If you bought tickets to the first American Carnage [...]

Sworn Amongst Severance Rising Records 15 February 2010 by Tom Dare Who says American bands have all the best riffs? Who says British bands can't bring the groove as well as their counterparts from across the pond? Those who do clearly have not listened to Sworn Amongst's second record Severance - either that or they have assumed they are from [...]

Fear not, metalheads! Despite last month's postponement of the "American Carnage" tour and last week's solo tour announcement by Megadeth , the North American metal extravaganza has indeed been rescheduled for later this year. Slayer and Megadeth will commence their newly announced North American tour with a week worth of Canadian Carnage East dates starting July 23rd. After that, beginning August 11th, the two heavy-weights travel south for what is currently a 19-date U.S. leg. that will keep the bands on the road up to the Labor Day weekend, ending [...]

So apparently Ozzfest is coming back this summer, and is coming back as a traveling tour again (as opposed to the one-off fest it was in 2008). And that's all well and good, only... who's gonna be on the bill? Mayhem, which is basically Ozzfest 2.0, has already scooped up a lot of big-name bands for [...]

When Tom Araya had announced he was forced to get back surgery early last month, people were bummed. We thought we would never get to see SLAYER and MEGADETH share the same stage. All that changes today, as the new routing for the American (and Canadian) Carnage tours have been announced, and it's happening in [...]

Following its postponment last month due to Tom Araya's need for back surgery, Megadeth, Slayer and Testament have re-scheduled the dates for their American Carnage Tour. The shows will now take place this summer, which strikes me as somehow more appropriate... I don't know why. I'd just rather go watch these three bands in warm [...]

We were all set for Megadeth and Slayer to sonically blast away the skin from our faces with the "American Carnage" tour. And then Slayer's Tom Araya went and hurt his back and the whole thing got postponed . But not ones to disappoint fans, Megadeth is hitting the road this spring, according to our friends at the Rock It Out! blog . In honor of the 20th anniversary to their classic Rust In Peace album, Dave Mustaine and company will be playing the entire album in full [...]
