I just found out that Turbonegro have reunited with a new frontman and are playing a show in NYC on November 18th at Santos Party House with Andrew W.K. I feel like my world just got turned upside down. News of a new singer is never what you want to hear, but when it's your favorite band of all-time, it's somewhat bittersweet. I'll give Tony Sylvester a chance, I mean he looks badass and from the footage floating around, he can deliver the songs. Sylvester was the President of Turbojugend London, one of the [...]

We went to Hamburg for Reeperbahn Festival but there was no metal on the line-up so we saw the most punk rock football team in the world instead: FC St Pauli.
I'm not even going to get into for this one. Any excuse to post about Turbonegro and what better than "D.I.B.". Deathpunk will never die.

Don't say motherfucker, MOTHERFUCKER! Don't say motherfucker, MOTHERFUCKER! Don't say motherfucker, MOTHERFUCKER! Don't say motherfucker, MOTHERFUCKER! Don't say motherfucker, MOTHERFUCKER! I know this isn't much of a review, but if you didn't immediately hit play on this track after seeing these awesome lyrics, we probably can't be friends.

After I heard the news about Turbonegro I got a little curious about what former vocalist Hank von Helvete was up to with his new band. The name was weird enough to get my attention and it was relatively easy to track down, so I soon had Doctor Midnight and The Mercy Cult's first release, [...]
Tony Sylvester , president of the London division of the Turbonegro fanclub Turbojugend and frontman for Dukes of Nothing , has been hired as the Turbonegro 's new vocalist and will make his live debut with the band on July 15 in Hamburg.
Norwegian "deathpunk" outfit Turbonegro have announced a return to action, along with a new vocalist. Previous frontman Hank Von Helvete (pictured to the left) exited the band in 2009 to "to pursue a career in acting, the Church of Scientology and goth rock" and now fronts Oslo-based Doctor Midnight and The Mercy Cult. The band has since reformed with new vocalist Tony Sylvester, who was previously Turbonegro's UK press official, not to mention the president of the London chapter of the group's fan club. He'll make his live debut with Turbonegro at [...]
Turbonegro are back! Turbonegro are back! Okay, I can't be the only one excited about this. I am? What is wrong with you? I was scrolling through Kerrang!'s online site on the off-chance there was something worth reading, and, weirdly enough, there was. Tony Sylvester, the former head of the London branch of Turbojugend (Turbonegro's [...]

Turbonegro are hands down one of my favorite bands of all time. The Norwegian band that coined the genre "death punk" initially considered naming themselves Nazipenis, but thought Turbonegro had a better ring to it, and the potential to sell more records. They combined punk, metal, and glam rock, always finding ways to insert crude humor into their music . While they had a few albums prior to 19962s Ass Cobra , the band Turbonegro had broken up due to frontman Hank Von Helvete's heroin addicition back in 1998, following the release of [...]
If you've read MetalSucks at all in the past twelve months, you know who Kvelertak are. I named their self-titled release the best album of 2010, and that album found its way onto Kip Wingerschmidt and Leyla Ford's year-end lists, too. Anso has publicly declared his adoration for the group. And then the band headlined [...]
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 [...]

Die Apocalypse Dudes sind wieder einer weniger. Hank von Helvete, seit 1993 Sänger der norwegischen Turboneger, verlässt die Bühne. Letzte Woche bereits haben einige Medien in Norwegen den Ausstieg des Turbonegro -Frontmannes verkündet . Grosse Resonanz hat es im deutschsprachigen Raum, seit jeher ein Stronghold der selbsternannten Deathpunker, derweil nicht gegeben. Zulange schon hatte sich die Band zurückgezogen. Über die Gründe lässt sich derzeit nur spekulieren und das Gerücht, Hank habe zu Gott gefunden, verweise ich ins Reich der Legendenbildung. Aber wenn man ehrlich [...]
