New England Metal And Hardcore Fest Lineup Announced
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
It’s a pretty insane week for festival announcements. As if Bonnaroo and Rock on the Range aren’t enough, the granddaddy of metal festivals, the New England Metal and hardcore Festival, has gone official and unveiled their lineup. We already correctly guessed that the Mastodon/BTBAM/Baroness tour would be part of it, but that’s only part of [...]
Reunion No One Asked For Coming To Rock On The Range
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Dust off your backwards baseball cap and serve yourself a nice heaping glass of haterade, Limp Bizkit is coming back! While they’ve already played some European festivals, Fred Durst and company are playing the first American show since last year’s reunion at this year’s Rock on the Range festival, taking place in Columbus Ohio on [...]
Mastodon To Crack Secondary Markets, NEMHF, With BTBAM, Baroness
Monday, February 8, 2010
In case you weren’t paying attention, last year Mastodon unveiled Crack the Skye, an album so cohesive that they’ve been playing it in its entirety for their last few tours. Now a lot of the secondary markets that didn’t get to see them perform it live will get a chance to, and they’ve lined up [...]
Will Rock Bands Take Over Film Scores?
Monday, January 11, 2010
Rumors have been swirling around the internet about rock band Muse potentially scoring Warner Brothers’ new Clash Of The Titans remake. This past week, director Louis Leterrier confirmed to MTV that they were originally in talks with Muse vocalist/guitarist Matt Bellamy to provide music for the film as a solo artist. However, Bellamy had to [...]
Showtime’s ‘Californication’ Clearly Obsessed With Metal
Thursday, December 10, 2009
Showtime’s David Duchovny comeback vehicle Californication has been a favorite of mine since the series debuted in 2007, and I’ve always appreciated creator Tom Kapinos’ subtle homages to metal. Duchovny’s character, Hank Moody, is a modern-day Charles Bukowski with a severe case of writer’s block following the massive success of his third novel, God Hates [...]
FMQB Lists Most-Spun Bands At Metal Radio
Thursday, December 10, 2009
The words “metal radio” almost seem like a contradiction in 2009, but there’s still heavy music to be found for those that look. Radio industry trade magazine FMQB (or Friday Morning Quarterback) has been tracking what’s getting spun on college radio, metal commercial specialty (aka, one hour new music shows, usually on Sunday nights), and [...]
Porn Star, Andrew W.K. Like Metal
Wednesday, December 9, 2009
If you want to read the best metal sites on the web, just look at our blogroll to the right and keep reading this one. But because there’s tons of other news and information all over the interwebs, we occasionally look at other sites. Indie rock blog Stereogum is usually pretty annoying for its trendier than [...]
Our Year End List Of Metal Lists – The First Four
Monday, December 7, 2009
In less than four weeks, it will be 2010, which can only mean one thing. All our favorite metal scribes and blogs are dusting off their trusty thesaruses (thesari?) and cranking up the hyperbole machine to come out with their list of the year’s best music. But since January 1 will bring not only a new year, but [...]
Metal And Hard Rock Grammy Nominees = Fail
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
So the Grammys were announced, and it’s pretty much more of the same. Predictable, safe, boring. I mean, for the most part, the metal nominees deserve it, but they could have taken a ton more chances. Here’s what got nominated for Best Metal Performance: Judas Priest “Dissident Aggressor” from A Touch of Evil – Live Lamb of [...]
