In case you're wondering, I was lying when I said I was having a wisdom tooth removed by an oral surgeon. In fact, I simply traveled to Spain, where I had the tooth knocked out by a pizza boomerang. Here's some other shit we did this week: We debuted new music by Terrorizer and Seas [...]

Forget Axl Rose - the great Cliff Burton would have turned fifty today. We have no idea what he would have accomplished had he lived past the age of twenty-four... if he would have been able to stop the debacle that Metallica became or if he would have been a willing participant in the shenanigans... [...]

Cliff Burton is a legend, there is no doubt about that, and fifty years ago today, on February 10th, 1962 he was brought into this world. He was infamously taken away from us on September 27, 1986, when Metallica's tour bus overturned while in Sweden. Cliff will forever be remembered as one of the most ...

Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues. The entire [...]

I went into this video clip of Macy Gray cover Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" ready to hate it. What can I say, I'm a very judgmental person. But, you know what. It ain't half bad. She does the song justice (no pun intended). What do you think? [via Metal Insider]

Metallica , el que tal vez es el grupo de metal más popular de todos los tiempos, y el más conocido de la actualidad, ha vuelto. No, aún no se sabe nada de su nuevo disco, y no queremos recordar su último experimento con Lou Reed, al cual dicho sea de paso le han llovido críticas desde todos los lados. Metallica vuelve con Orion Music & More , un nuevo festival muy diferente a lo que la mayoría de fans podrían esperar. Mas que nada porque se trata de un festival [...]

Hey! It's a lovely morning, and I'm about to make the coffee. But first, some headlines:

:: The video for Bombay Bicycle Club 's How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep took six months to film. :: It's like history class, only cooler: 10 bewilderingly underrated post-punk bands you need to hear . :: When Shelby Earl talks about an artist (in this case, Jonsi ), you should pay attention . :: Metallica is doing an indie rock music festival in Atlantic City, N.J.

Metal legends, Metallica are hosting their own festival. Orion – Music + More will be held on the outskirts of Atlantic City, New Jersey and the veteran band will headline both nights, playing The Black Album and 1984's Ride The Lightening in full (one on each night). Taking place on June 23rd and 24th, other names added to the bill so far include Arctic Monkeys, The Gaslight Anthem and Best Coast. Watch the promo video and press conference below:

To celebrate 20th anniversary of the METALLICA 's BLACK album, the thrash-metal hard-rockers will play the LP in her entirety at the new Orion Festival, for both nights. Having been a fan of the METALLICA since me pre-teens, I'm excited about this announcement and here's hoping they'll bring the anniversary show to nodnoL town thnx.

I would think the purpose of sending out a blanket blast of promos is to get someone's attention, get your album reviewed, and use that press to build up more excitement for your band. So Terrordome , mission accomplished! I received a 5 song blast from Polish thrashers Terrordome , and it hearkens back to the glory days of thrash. This is full-on, mash the accelerator and hold on for dear life music. It goes by in a blur, the average song length is only about 2 minutes, but they manage to pack [...]

Metallica has unveiled their own festival, dubbed Orion Music and More , likely after the song of the same name on 1986's Master of Puppets . Metallica assembled the lineup for the festival, which will take place at Bader Field in Atlantic City on June 23rd and 24th. The metal band will close both nights and perform 1990's Metallica and 1984's Ride the Lightning in their entirety on each night respectively. The lineup spans a number of genres, with the [...]

You'd think that when a band called Metallica books itself a weekend-long music festival, most of the bands on the bill would be metal. You'd be wrong. As Rolling Stone reports , the thrash overlords will headline and curate their very own Orion Music + More Festival , which comes to Atlantic City, New Jersey 6/23-24. And the lineup, weirdly enough, skews very heavily toward indie rock: Arctic Monkeys, Modest Mouse, Best Coat, Fucked Up, the Gaslight Anthem, Titus Andronicus, Hot Snakes, Roky Erickson, the Black Angels, a Place To Bury Strangers, Lucero, Cage The [...]

Metallica are making the logical leap from festival headliners to festival curators as the metal pioneers have created Orion Music + More, an event that promises a wealth of the world's top bands and, uh, more. Orion will take place over two days on June 23rd and 24th in Atlantic City, New Jersey and the initial lineup is pretty stacked. Along with Metallica headlining both days, including one day of them performing The Black Album for the first time ever on American soil and Ride The Lightning the other night, Orion will offer some [...]

Metallica have seen better days. That's for sure. But their announcement today of a two day festival being held in Atlantic City this summer is pretty exciting stuff. The metal legends will headline both nights, June 23rd and 24th, at Bader Field in A.C. They have also hand selected the 22 bands that will play along side them for the festival. Metallica will be playing both Ride The Lightning and The Black Album in their entirety. I'd have rather heard ...And Justice For All [...]
