Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has left the following message on TheLiveLine.com and sent out an excerpt in Megamail.
“I’m at the studio right now, Vic’s Garage, and we are done! 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 …read more

Lousiana’s Goatwhore is about to release their 4th album Carving Out The Eyes Of God on Metal Blade Records on June 23rd. Their first song off of the album, Apocalyptic Havoc, debuted on XM radio’s Liquid Metal today. You can request it HERE.
They have two local shows in LA and then they’ll be heading out on the Conquer And Curse Tour with Abigail Williams, Daath, Abysmal Dawn and Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky. That sounds like a pretty good show to. Request the song on XM and get it some play. Tour dates are after the fold.

Let’s be honest. No matter how much you try to be open minded, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that Rob Halford is launching a clothing line, you might think of Gay Biker clothes. It’s hard not to because no matter how much you like the guy and Judas Priest, there is always that thought looming in the back of your mind after he came out of the closet. I don’t think of Rob Halford as “That gay dude that sings for Judas Priest”, but that’s always going to be an issue when his name is …read more

It never seems to fail me. Whenever I am feeling under-stimulated by music and I just don’t know what to listen to from like 9000 songs on my iPod, I can turn on Opeth and just about every song still blows me away. Blackwater Park and Damnation seem to get played the most, but Ghost Reveries is creeping in close behind. There are very few bands that I can say that I love their ENTIRE catalog and Opeth is one of them. Here is a live Opeth video filmed in Chile. It’s not the best footage, though.

It’s Metallica Monday on Fuse. With the band being inducted in to the RRHOF, there’s bound to be a lot of press on then. I try to be choosy when picking what I think should be posted and if you have no better way to spend your evening you can start with Some Kind Of Monster at 6pm. Me, I’ll opt to wait until 9pm for the better Metallica shows. Every time I watch Some Kind Of Monster I get all pissed off because it’s not like some behind the scenes look at the band in a fun way. It …read more

I haven’t mentioned much about Headbanger’s Ball lately because it’s been on too late for me to really care about it. This week only it was an early show that started at 10pm and it was a pretty good line up…with the exception of 2 songs. Hed PE still sucks and the new Static X song is just like their old songs and I can’t say that I liked it at all. Despite what a lot of other people are saying, I kind of dig the new Dope song, 6-6-Sick. I think it would sound better if someone else was …read more

Every band that wants to make an impact on their fans, not only through music but through their album art needs a good logo or mascot. Megadeth has Vic Rattlehead, Iron Maiden has Eddie, The Misfits have The Crimson Ghost and etc. Over the years sometimes these logos and mascots evolve through better artwork and technology. Some bands stay with what works while others make changes to keep it interesting.

Blabbermouth reports that Former Pantera Bass player Rex Brown has confirmed that there is a Pantera box set in the works. Most people’s first thought will probably be “But I have of their CD’s already”. Do you? Most people think they do, but before Cowboys From Hell there are some albums that never made the cut and died right alongside the glam scene. The only one that I have come across is Power Metal which I lost some years ago. I imagine you can probably find some of the pre-CFH albums on the file sharing networks, but if they reprinted …read more

I think it’s kind of cool that the members of Megadeth give everyday updates, but I wonder if this is like Dave’s policy or something. Do they have a schedule of who’s day it is to give the daily update or do they do like rock-paper-scissors for it after their morning Wheaties and Legend’s Cup coffee.
Obviously it’s a slow news day. I’m also tired of waiting for the new album already.
