It's been almost two weeks since the tragic passing of Jeff Hanneman due to liver failure. Last week, the band announced the official cause of death being alcohol related cirrhosis and that a memorial will be held in his honor later this month.

Releasing their first single in 1978, they were right there with Wire and Gang of Four as indisputable early pioneers of the genre.

Les Claypool jams with Jerry Cantrell in a pretty acoustic setting, and it is awesome as hell.

If you like weed and death metal, this is the tour for you. I'm kind of shocked that High Times didn't come on board as a sponsor, because the copious amount of toking that will take place on the Hell In July tour will be legendary. Six Feet Under just announced they'll be spending July [...]

Spoiler- the East Coast gets pretty shafted.

For the first time since 1999, an increase in revenue was seen from the sales of recorded music (as picture above). Could things be on a slow crawl upward for the industry at long last?

Well this is definitely great news. The Death To All tour, which pays tribute to late legendary vocalist and guitarist Chuck Shuldiner is coming back for another run in 2013.
