Shortly after the band finished their mind-bending set opening for The Black Dahlia Murder, Testament and Children of Bodom at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, I had the chance to talk with Between the Buried and Me singer Tommy Rogers and bassist Dan Briggs.

Politics returns to music news again this week. Lame Duck George Bush Jr. has pardoned the former Fugees producer John Forte . If you recall Forte was busted back in 2000 for trying to smuggle $1.4 million in liquid cocaine through Newark Airport. Forte will be released on December 22nd. Strangely it was Senator Orrin Hatch that lobbied for his release. Jose is speechless. In Fort Lupton, Colorado residents have been sentenced to listen to Barry Manilow . Those guilty of violating a [...]
Trevor Strnad ( The Black Dahlia Murder ) commenting on... something. "There are kids out there who just listen to a band's MySpace otherwise there wouldn't be so many people begging you to change the songs. Who cares? You're not there listening to the song... once you put a song on your MySpace, you don't hang out there and listen [it] ." I have no idea what he's talking about.

by theseseans (NYC) Last night me and Gerf took the train across the East River to grace Manhattan with our stank presences, but mostly to take in the Black Metal Magic Tour at the Knitting Factory. It was awesome , really awesome. The show started off with Krallice , and props to them; not only did they play very well, but they had the show packed tight at 8PM sharp. Withered stole the show for me last night, bringing an urgency and vitality to their songs in a live [...]

Told you all it would be a good week for death metal! The Black Dahlia Murder have been added to Children Of Bodom 's upcoming U.S. Tour. The tour, which will also feature Between The Buried And Me , kicks off mid-September and does an excellent job criss-crossing the US. If you haven't seen The Black Dahlia Murder, we suggest you do so. Vocalist Trevor Strnad does an excellent job bouncing back and forth between his two vocal deliveries, and as we've previously mentioned their material is pretty good too. [...]
After fellating Protest the Hero's incredible early-2008 release Fortress for two months solid (culminating in my first ever 5 of 5 horns review ), I was immediately let down by successive announcements that the band would be touring with shit emo bands through the entire summer. Finally someone in the band's camp has come to their senses and packaged them with a lineup that will put them in front of the metal audience that NEEDS to know about this band. And finally, I will be able to go see them live. Lambgoat is reporting a [...]

Summer Slaughter Tour Terrorizes Texas on Independence Day One problem with being an Old Fart in the metal scene is that you have to do Old Farty kind of things, like celebrating 4th of July with your family and friends. The problem arises when said celebration coincides with one of the biggest concerts of the year – the Summer Slaughter Tour. My intent was to spend as much time with the family and then head on over to San Antonio's famed sweatbox, The White Rabbit. I [...]
