Don't destroy the environment -- destroy the mosh pit!!!

I woke to a cold morning with a dusting of snow and a whitish grey sky. The breeze is ever so slight. Only the tips of the brown leaves sway. Snow sits on the oak and pine branches and covers all but the tall grass in the backyard. I think the day is pretty in its own way, even without the sun. Goldfinches and nuthatches are at the feeders. I don't know where my chickadees have gone. Gracie, Fern and Maddie are having their morning naps. Gracie went out for a short time and came running back inside as [...]

Banner by Cysquatch Hey, how many bass players does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two: One to find a lightbulb, and one to find a guitarist to show them how! Ha! Wow what a savage burn on you bassists, third fiddles onstage and grease traps/cow-catchers offstage.  Okay but now let's no more beat [...]

My grandpa once gave me a piece of powerful advice, some words that I will pass on to my grandchildren and hope that they'll pass on to theirs. Sitting next to me on the fuzzy couch one cozy Sunday afternoon, he told me, "Boy, when your editor sends you the weekly list of Shit That [...]

* Banner by Cysquatch Hello heavy metallists everywhere! Say, have u dudes seen that movie The Expendables 2? It's a silly new actioner in which gross Sylvester Stallone and a team of lulzy old shoot-em-up stars go blast featureless non-whites with soupcan-sized bullets. It is a hoot! Grab a bucket of popcorn, a depth-charge-sized soda, and [...]

Body photos by rad Nick Zimmer falseidolphoto.com It's kinda hard to reconcile the bustling hugeness of Look Right Penny's instant classic Sugar Lane (Bieler Bros.) with the teeny, tiny status of its authors: The Hudson, Florida five are barely out of their teens. Their debut album was released on a small [...]

Yesterday it was announced that the Dallas stop of the upcoming Death to All Tour has been postponed; now the trek's organizers have announced that the Atlanta show has also been put on hold. Not shocking news, given that both of these shows were in danger of being cancelled due to low advance ticket sales, but I [...]

An anonymous reader just forwarded us the below e-mail from Ticketmaster (click to enlarge), announcing that the July 3 date of the Death to All Tour in Dallas, Texas has been "postponed": Although you may recall that both the Dallas and Atlanta stops of the tour were in danger of being cancelled due to low advance [...]

POOP. Sean Reinert, the tenth best drummer in modern metal, has ruptured his Achilles' tendon while practicing for the upcoming Death to All Tour. That obviously SUCKS A MAJOR ONE, but the good news is that Reinert is unfuckwithable, and is going to play the tour in some capacity anyway. Here's a statement from the man himself: [...]

I find this both hard to believe and incredibly depressing, but it's true - the Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia dates of this summer's Death to All Tour are in danger of being cancelled due to low advance ticket sales. This is the tour, in case you've somehow forgotten, that will reunited seven former members [...]

OH MY FUCKING LORD, the Death to All Tour somehow just got even more awesome. In case seeing a bunch of old Death tunes being performed by former members of that band (including Paul Masvidal,  Shannon Hamm, Bobby Koelble, Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Steve DiGiorgio, and Scott Clendenin) while being fronted by Obscura’s Steffen Kummerer and Abysmal Dawn's [...]

Last week, Atheist frontman Kelly Shaefer kindly checked in with us to talk about his band's addition to dates on the awesome Death To All tour. And just like he does with Atheist's deceptively catchy jamz, Shaefer snuck into our gab a tantalizing detail for the attentive fan: Atheist is now preparing a follow-up to [...]

Turn that frown upside down - Vince will be back on Monday! 'Til then, here's a list of all the fun things we did this week: We debuted the new Czar video. We spoke to Kelly Shaefer from Atheist and Jenks Miller from Horseback. Also, Steve Rennie and Ben Davis from Today I Caught the Plague [...]
