"I have made Swords for the past 18 Years here on Skye, training myself in the Art of the Medieval sword smith." ^^ The reason why you need to read ALL of this Amebix interview^^

Cattle Decap don't want to push an agenda on you, but that's because they are NOT this guy.

Rotting Christ and Septic Flesh on Governor's Ball. Note: there is more radio than interview in that link.

Reasons why Wolves in the Throne Room don't reveal song lyrics listed here

Guardian reviews Brit Metal press, but forgets the one that matters most: Terrorizer; when/if the NY Times does a similar review, we all know who the winner will be: Decibel, they fucking own.

FLASHBACK OF THE DAY

Before there was Fred Durst and Eminem, America's favorite angry white boy would go crazy when he heard a cymbal. His era was at a time when MTV allowed musicians to ruin TV sets.

Interviews

BLACK TIDE bassist was never their guitarist, does not want to punch anybody in the face

Black Tide Interview

The last time we interviewed Florida's BLACK TIDE, I had just come from doing a lot of Jager shots with DAATH. Needless to say, I spent most of the interview picking on the band asking if they were drunk. Looking back, I regret it, but it made for a hilarious interview. Flash forward to one year later… we are scheduled to do an interview with guitaristbassist Zach Sandler, and I thought he was going to want to punch me in the face. Luckily, he remembered how tall I was (WHAT!!) and that didn't happen. But what did happen was a pretty funny interview, which you could check out here.

Tour Dates

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE play really big venues

Holy crap. Did you see the routing for BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's upcoming tour? Their summer package with CANCER BATS, BLEEDING THROUGH, and BLACK TIDE is hitting up some huuuuuge venues. I can't speak for many of the other towns, but the Hammerstien Ballroom in NYC is pretty much the largest venue I could think of in the City with the exception of the Garden. Where did these guys come from? Sure, they've been pretty big in the UK, but they seemingly have exploded here. You guys into them? Should be interesting to see how well it draws. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do any on-the-field reporting for this one…
