HELLO WORLD! So I decided to throw this post together for a number of reasons. First of all, I love metal (and other harder-edged music) and I've been trying to sneak it into my post queue here or there in an attempt to brainwash my readers into liking it too (even though some have violently protested). And second, I figured that I would occasionally cull a bunch of releases into one mega post and ironically title it "I Hate Metal." That way any of those who wish to remain untainted can know exactly what they are getting into when they [...]
Biohazard Reborn In Defiance Nuclear Blast 20 January 2012 by Tom Dare It's all gone a bit awry for Biohazard recently. In the summer, they split with Evan Seinfeld (singer, bass player, porn star , and the one member of the band you'd be most likely to recognise in the pub) right on the eve of Download Festival 2011. Their first album in nearly seven years was, however, recorded with Seinfeld, so whatever happens from here on in, [...]
Sleigh Bells - "Comeback Kid" So yeah, the most perfect bubblegum thrash pop duo Sleigh Bells are back on February 21 with "Reign Of Terror", their sophomore album. "Comeback Kid" is a thrashing, bubbling, beautiful mess of double-bass-drums and cooing cheerleader romps, with Alexis Krauss looking like the most dangerous version of your BFF from next door. Godspeed!
Meet Iron Reagan, an old school punk-hardcore band formed by Ryan Parish and Paul Burnette (ex-Darkest Hour) along with Tony Foresta, and Phil "Landphil" Hall of Municipal Waste. The outcome is every bit as upbeat, crusty, punk-infested, Richmond style fun as you'd come to expect from the likes of these four gentlemen. You can check ...
Savage Messiah Plague of Conscience Earache Records 06 February 2012 by David Keevill Alterno-crossover bands swarm over metal like herpes over Tommy Lee's genitals. In fact, the genre has become so riddled with tributary offshoots and bastardised spawn that it's often easy to forget the birthing wails of metal; the riffs given by Black Sabbath, the vocal [...]
Its hard to go through the holiday without a few appropriately placed rowdy tracks thrown in amongst the bedecked radio hall-waves of peace and joy. So, in that vein, we are happy to have run into Oklahoma's The Boom Bang and the lead-off track that was featured on the 2010 Nice People Christmas Compilation called 'Checking It Twice', ten free tracks also sponsored in part by local Norman, OK business, Fowler VW.

London-based thrashers, Savage Messiah , gave everyone an early Christmas present when they gave away their new album, Plague of Conscience, for free last month . But why do they want for Christmas? We caught up with their lead guitarist/singer , Dave Silver (he's second from the right) to find out. -- What is your favourite Christmas song? Christmas with Nat and Dean! All the classics What is your favourite Christmas movie? The original It's [...]
Beta Vulgaris Interjaculation is just a sexy way to say Beet (Sandwich). The beets, while lovely in their own right, were gussied up by an apple, baguette and boiled peanut hummus . The result was a (sandwich) with the sex appeal of a bald, slightly overweight, twenty something hipster . While I feared the rawness of the beets and apples were a little too much, J-Fur set my mind at ease by suggesting the crunch was way beyond anything that has ever produced a six pack of abs. Beet and Apple (Sandwich) ( [...]

Earache Records really want you to hear Plague of Conscience, the new album from one of their slightly lesser-known thrash signings, Savage Messiah. They want you to listen to it so badly that they're willing to let you have it FOR FREE in exchange for an email address. That's not a bad deal, in our book. [...]
Even though Hirax came out of the same Los Angeles, and San Francisco Bay Area thrash scene as Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, the group has always flown well below those thrash Titan?s radar. Hirax is an essential part of thrash history. Brian Slagel saw their worth and released the group?s first two records, ?Raging Violence? (1985) and ?Hate, Fe...

by Jeff Barringer - Staff Photographer Slayer's Kerry King has an infamous tattoo on his left bicep that he like to point out from time to time that says "GOD HATES US ALL" and I couldn't help but feel that sentiment as I rose from a bed that had spent most of the night spinning. I rarely drink anymore, and then usually only with Kerry so the skill set I acquired at college(s) had long ago run their course. As the hot water spraying on my forehead rolled down my neck and back, [...]
