Scrap Metal Report 8/22

I gotta tell you, this has been a long week. Waiting for the week and my employment with a company that I have been with for almost three years come to an end, has been kind of nerve racking. This is a big chance I’m taking but I hope it will all be worth it. With that said, I’m sitting here sucking down some Heinekens and wrangling up some metal news for you.

Metallica’s new single “The Day That Never Comes” has been getting a lot of mediocre reviews. Metalsucks.net posted a bunch of other sites reviews, to include my own (while pointing out my Grammatik flaws). A lot of people hated the reviews and it was mainly one person just re-posting stupid comments under different names. I got called fat, lazy and was even accused of living with my parents. The fact is that listening to Metallica these days is like wiping your ass with your left hand (Right, whichever is your less dominant), It just doesn’t feel right but you know it has to be done. I can’t wait until this is released and I don’t feel the need to talk about it anymore.

Killswitch Engage are set to hit the studio in October for a hopeful spring ‘09 release. Yes, I will be looking forward to that.

Sharon Osbourne is writing a fiction novel. It’s called “I’m A Good Mother”

Rob Halford said “I don’t think a straight man could do my job.” To that I say ‘Rob, no one can do your job.’ Although Nostradamus was not what I expected, it’s still an amazing (very long) but amazing record.

Winds Of Plague Fired Their Drummer. I got to see them play two lousy songs that the crowd loved for 6 minutes. That was the highlight of my Thrash And Burn experience. I missed Arsis, I was pissed, bought their cd.

All That Remains posted their new video for Chiron off of their upcoming Overcome release on September 16th. I really dig it.
