End Of March Metal Meltdown
March 31, 2008 by Scott
The month of March was quite interesting. A lot of great things happened for me and a few great CD’s came out this month. I gave away some cool prizes and the first batch of the MetalMartyr.Com Compilations went out as well. Below is a list of links to some of this months posts that I think are worth a re-run.
The RIAA is still relentless about screwing artist out of money they get from settlements from illegal, Read about it here
I gave a list of My top 10 songs and cds this year. Some are new and some are old favorites. Check them out. Metal Martyr Top 10
I had a chance to check out a great show the beginning of the month and I got video Interviews with All That Remains Phil Labonte (Part 1 and Part 2), Light This City’s Laura Nichol and Ben Murray, and Black Tide.
Metallica Is Reissuing older releases on Vinyl.
Creator Destructor Records is a label operated by Light This City’s Drummer Ben Murray. Starting small but sure to get much bigger.
The Metal Potential Of 2008 is going to be great with all the great bands releasing new work and touring this year.
Sub-genre Hatred is never ending. Do you hate Metalcore?
I did a review of Marc Canter’s Book Reckless Road, the first years of Guns N Roses. I also called Slash Saul Rosenburg when his real name is Saul Hudson. Must have heard The Jerky Boys say Saul Rosenburg a few too many times and it stuck in my head.
I did a quick interview with Troy Medlin (T-Roy) of Southern Sludge Metal Band Sourvein here.
Metal has never been really radio friendly except on satellite radio
Do you think DragonForce’s song Through The Fire And Flames compares to the classic Eddie Van Halen Solo song Eruption? Let me know.
Black Tide released Light From Above on Interscope records and the Cavalera brother reunited for the Cavalera Conspiracy. Is there a possibility of a Sepultura reunion?
I did a quick review on As I Lay Dying’s First Recordings on The Long March
I talked about My favorite Concert and stepped away from Metal for a moment and talked about Straight Edge Punk legends Minor Threat.
Dimebag Hardware Clothing Line is up and running.
In Flames Release A Sense Of Purpose tomorrow. I got a copy early and I love it!
Metal fans are like rabid Pitbulls and sometimes we turn on our own. Read about it in I Am Hated part 1 and Part 2.
That’s about it for the month of March. If you want to see what else got posted this month, Click here.
As for me, I’m going to take the rest of the evening easy, throw some new Ernie Balls on my Ibanez and play around a bit. See you next month and thanks for coming!














I want to get in flames new CD but I’m worried it will be more like “Soundtrack to your escape” and not like “Come Clarity”(My favorite)
Check out their Myspace, Joey and listen to their streaming tracks. Then you may have a better idea of what it sounds like. I’m not very familiar with the band, I’ve been stuck in American Heavy Metal for so long I’ve missed out on some great bands. I like it however If I heard some of the older stuff I might like that better.
