Scrap Metal Report Labor Day Edition 9/1

Just a few things real quick and I’m off to see if I can find a driving range that is open on this beautiful Labor day.

• Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone has landed at number 2 on the UK charts and number 1 on the Australian charts. So how’s it hitting on the Billboard Charts? Who gives a crap because the Billboards have their genres and stuff all screwed up. On a side note this album has started to grow on me a bit. I still feel it’s not their best work and there are still a few songs that I’m not feelin’, but it’s not too bad. Suppose it could have been worse.
• KISS are going to start marketing “Hotter Than Hell Ketchup” in the Myrtle Beach, SC KISS Coffee House…and you can be a proud owner of some spicy habanero ketchup (wouldn’t that be ‘hot sauce’? I’m just sayin’) for just 7.95 USD a bottle…
• Dark Funeral guitarist “Lord Ahriman” (~snicker-snicker~) are a couple of weeks into the pre-production of their next album and want to make sure they are “666%” satisfied before going into production.
• The Haunted have anounced a few Australian tour dates. The new album ‘Versus‘ will be out the end of this month. Nov. 08 – Brisbane, AUS @ The Arena, Nov. 09 – Sydney, AUS @ Manning Bar, Nov. 11 – Melbourne, AUS @ The Hifi, Nov. 13 – Perth, AUS @ The Capitol
• Bruce Dickinson piloted a plane that brought home some British RAF (Royal Air Force I’m assuming) returning home from Afghanistan.
• And lastly Austrian Death Machine will debut their first video from the recently released album Total Brutal. The video for “Get To The Choppa” will debut on Myspace Metal on September 3rd.
