ambient, neo new age, peace Inner Islands So this is the last Wyld Wyzrds album, but this doesn't mean Braden J. McKenna, the Coyote Dreamer quit his passion as creator of beautiful, peaceful ambient music. I suppose he will incarnate to some new figure in his circle of friends (Stag Hare, gkfoes vjgoaf etc). The first WW album was Light Upon Light... a great lofi sounding shoegaze [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ] DFBM Releases [...]
To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]

I would sometimes have waking nightmares about my external hard drive crashing. All my photos, documents and, most importantly, my music would slip through my fingers like sand, into the dark netherworld where deleted data rests eternally (I imagine it as something like this ). But fear not, I would run to my computer, plug in the ol' external and rest easy to the comforting sound of the electric hum. "Don't worry," the hum would say, "your music is safe with me." Apparently that hum is a fucking liar. Just as I was transferring music [...]

The legendary Accept and als0-legendary Overkill played the Best Buy Theater in right here in New York City last month, and our homegirl/photographic wizard Alyssa Lorenzon was there to snap pictures, so that you, our beloved readers, could live vicariously through the magic of photography. And in case that epically epic photo of Wolf Hoffmann and Herman [...]
Since summer and, thus, summer festivals are almost upon us, I thought I'd take a closer look at Sonisphere, one of the biggest European music festivals. Mostly because I wanted to do some research on it, since it's the only festival in which I am indulging this year. Probably. (Note: I don't much like festivals, [...]
In a desolate, windswept region of north-west Wales lies a sheep strewn sea-side town named Prestatyn. Within its bowels is a dinky holiday village that goes by the name of Pontins. Amidst the out of date 1950s chalet glamour (malfunctioning showers, flushing toilets and horrifically stained duvets) several thousand metallers ran, stumbled and fell over ...
If you're reading this, it's safe to say that you probably weren't at this year's Hammerfest. No, if you were at Pontins in Prestatyn this weekend, by all rights you should be slowly crawling back home through the fug of an almighty hangover, and bracing yourself against the after effects of a neck-busting bangover. Well, [...]
Accept! Is there any band more metal? Feel free to debate this question with yourself while you look at our lovely, lovely photos. -- -- Accept @ Hammerfest 2011 setlist: Teutonic Terror The Abyss Starlight Breaker Restless and Wild Son of a Bitch Metal Heart Neon Nights Bulletproof Aiming High Princess of the Dawn Up [...]

We're sorry, but this is straight out of Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour and she didn't need to be nice to Whitney Houston after she dissed her. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: 53 , acceptance , awards , gaga , grammy , grammys , high , hq , lady , live , quality , speech , video

Mae - Sun "Well, you know I never want to miss, I hold on tight and reminisce." I noticed today that I have been officially blogging on this site for a month now, yay! Very excited , and if I do have any regular readers yet, thank you so much, and I hope you are enjoying the music I have been choosing this far. So to commemorate this occasion, I have chosen the first song by a band that I love very much, and have seen the most times live, [...]
At the Accept show I went to last week, I had a pretty funny moment with the boy when I said that it sounded like they were singing "We are nice" instead of "Neon nights." Which got me thinking: I mishear lyrics a lot. It could be because I'm deaf, or people just don't enunciate, [...]
It took almost five hours on the highway in rain that wasn't so much pouring as it was bulleting down to get from Boston to New York. And guess what? Totally worth it. Because it was all for Accept. Vince has already covered King's X, and no offense to him or our other intrepid site [...]
Of the five or so times I've seen King's X live over the years they've only ever played precisely one song from Dogman, their landmark (and my personal fave) album: "Dogman." Until last night, when their current support tour with reunited German metallers Accept rolled through NYC's 9 Dollar Beer House BB King's and the [...]
:: Radiohead 's Colin Greenwood wishes the music industry was like it used to be. That's right, one of the "trailblazers" in the "digital revolution" wishes a record label was still fronting them big advances and pressing CDs. :: Phil Anselmo is certain that stuff would be all smoothed out between the Pantera guys if Dimebag Darrell was still around. :: Mark David Chapman: "I felt that by killing John Lennon I would become somebody ." :: Looks like Pavement 's stint in [...]
That's right! One of MetalSucks' most controversial voices - which is really saying something - is gonna be the DJ at tonight's Heavy Metal Happy Hour at Arrow Bar (85 Avenue A). There are 2-for-1 drinks from 6:00PM until 9:00PM, so if you've ever wanted to get drunk and ask Gary "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS [...]
Old-school thrashers Accept are back with new album Blood of the Nations and U.S. tour with King's X, and that's pretty much what they want you to know. Just listen to guitarist Wolf Hoffmann's enthusiastic refrain of, "We're back!" After the jump, Leyla Ford talks with the legendary Accept axeman about getting the band back [...]

A big concert is coming to town at the beginning of next month and we want to send you to the show. Kings Of Leon and The Black Keys both have humble midwest beginnings, but are really getting big fan-bases in the past couple of years due to some excellent releases. The two bands are out on tour together and making a stop here in the Cincinnati area for a show at Riverbend on Saturday September 4th. This is a pretty big show and I know you would rather get a free pair of tickets than [...]
