In a Really? moment, I saw over at MetalSucks that DISTURBED has tapped KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, CHIMARIA and LACUNA COIL as openers for their fourth (poorly named) Music As A Weapon tour.

Of course the annual Rock Hall ceremony is an irrelevant way for some music industry tools to feel hip by giving out awards to (mostly) good musicians. That said, with the just-announced induction of METALLICA, I'll definitely be on youtube looking for the show's highlights. I can't wait to see if they'll blare "Dyers Eve" [...]

I thought so too, until I saw the lineup for their "Rock Fest." Holy mother of fuck, I don't care WHAT they're selling - any [...]

In what could be a statement on nature vs. machine, an ode to 19th century artwork or a really trippy video game, GOJIRA have released the second video from The Way of All Flesh, for "All the Tears." Not sure if this is animator Jossie Malis' first video or not, but it's a safe bet [...]

Since my ear buds are still coming down from the thrashing they received, I thought I'd listen to undoubtedly the most metal [...]
