Animals as Leaders show no fear of math with “Arithmophobia”

Posted by on October 18, 2016

For a band who’s complex instrumentals embrace time changes and synchronization so much, it’s safe to say that trio Animals As Leaders have a firm grasp on arithmetic. It’s because of this that we’re surprised the band’s first single from their upcoming album is titled “Arithmophobia.” The song premiered today via Guitar World, and it’s […]

Marty Friedman’s b-sides are better than your band’s a-sides

Posted by on September 1, 2015

[youtube]https://youtu.be/Rv0OvkR0_KI[/youtube] Onetime Megadeth guitarist and incredibly successful solo artist Marty Friedman is mounting a solo tour next week, his first North American tour since 2003.

We’d already known that Slipknot and Faith No More were playing the Heavy Montreal Festival (aka, the best reason to go to Canada other than the exchange rate).  But yesterday, the Fest released the full lineup, and it’s ridiculous. Korn will be performing their debut album in full. Meshuggah is playing, as are Gojira and […]
