According to a press release I received from Metal Blade Records, Black Dahlia Murder’s new Majesty DVD has landed on the billboard charts at #2 and #5 in Canada on the Billboard Top Music Video Charts.

First he’s fired from Divine Heresy and now Tommy Cummings has “parted ways” with the reunited Snot. Guitarist Mikey Doling sent Blabbermouth.net the following statement. “SNOT is again looking for a vocalist. Unfortunately, Tommy Vext [a.k.a. Tommy Cummings; ex-DIVINE HERESY] has not worked out.

We’re just right now finishing the last couple of notes on the new record, and Andy’s getting ready to pack his bags and head up to Los Angeles tomorrow to get ready to fly back home on Thursday. Man, this has been a long, grueling, enduring process but it’s been so worth it, and I’m so excited. I’m more excited about this record then I’ve been in any record since back in the 1980’s. I would say, probably since, well definitely since “Rust In Peace” there’s nothing that’s excited me... [Read more]
