The Big Four Live In A Theater Near You
The Big Four’s European tour is coming to theaters worldwide. Not sure how watching Metallica and Slayer in a movie theater will compare in person besides that either way you will be sitting near smelly dudes drinking heavily. Tickets are $20 and most of each bands set will be shown.
Here’s a listing of the screenings happening in the New York City / New Jersey Area
Revolver Presents The Art of Hard Rock And Heavy Metal
A special issue of Revolver has just landed in my mail box that features the art of hard rock and heavy metal. The magazine goes through the concept behind classic album cover art with the band and artists. Bands included are Deftones, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Converge, Guns and Roses, Cattle Decapitation, Mastodon, Napalm Death and more. Artist interviews include Wes Benscoter, Paul Romano, Arik Roper, Ed Repka and more.
Volcom Vinyl Club 2010 To Include Dave Lombardo, The Sword, The Bronx
Volcom has announced some artists for their 2010 vinyl club including The Sword, Year Long Disaster, The Bronx, El Bronx, Baron, Growlers, and Dave Lombardo of Slayer. I am hoping its just a 10 minute drum solo from Mr. Lombardo. You can drop 40 bucks to get a year of 7 inches at this link.
Album Review: Children Of Bodom – Skeletons in the Closet
Skeletons in the Closet
As far as the song choices go, they cover a great territory of the music realm. Some are pretty obvious, since they’re a metal band (Sepultura, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Slayer), others could be chalked up as the band’s wide array of influences (Scorpions, Ramones, W.A.S.P.) while others seem to be very tongue in cheek, at least at first glance (Pat Benatar, Kenny Rogers, Billy Idol and of course, Britney Spears).
Album Art Spotlight: Slayer – World Painted Blood
Slayer have revealed the cover artwork for World Painted Blood, which is actually four different covers put together to make a map of the earth… wait for it… painted in blood! That’s not all the land masses on the map are made up of human skeletons. A deluxe CD/DVD version and 180 gram vinyl will also be available. I suppose you “Gotta Catch ‘em all!”
Slayer Detail ‘World Painted Blood’
I don’t usually post straight up news items, but the world always needs the details on a new Slayer album. World Painted Blood will be released Tuesday, November 3rd in North American and Monday, November 2 to the rest of the world.
There will be three different editions of the album: Limited edition CD with multiple CD covers, Deluxe edition CD/DVD, and a high-quality, 180-gram vinyl edition.
