I only had 4 entries for the Black tide 7″ Road Warriors and every one of them is correct. Unfortunately I can only pick one. Each person that entered, I commend you for either having the knowledge to answer those questions or using the internet to find the answers.  To pick the winner I used a common 6 sided die and assigned each person a number in the order that they answered. 5 and 6 were re-rolls. With a roll of the die the winner was picked as Jakes_Daddy@#######.net.
That contest was easy to pick. The Answer contest was a …read more

Pamela Parosky from MetalUnderground.com recently interviewed Zakk Sandler from http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=43561. Zakk seems to be the most open personality in the band. I’ve seen them twice as support acts and he’s the one that gets the crowd going and the one that sticks around afterwards to talk to fans.
In the interview he talked about the writing process for the next album, in brief.

Here is the second episode of the Black Tide animated series: Bastard Vs. Bots 2. In part 2 the Bastard takes on a legion of robots in a heroic Western themed shootout. “Warriors of Time” provides the perfect soundtrack to a clip complete with a Saloon, shots (bullets & alcohol), and spurs.

Black Tide has just launched their Warriors of Time Animation series. The six part series is explained best by the band themselves, “Our Hero, known as The Bastard, is a living embodiment of metal music. We pit him against a robotic legion whose influence spans all of time and space. The song speaks to the urge in everyone to rage and rock out against all outside expectations. It is a call to arms against a mundane existence, and the Bastard is always there to answer in force, slaughtering the robot conformist authority for the sake of youth, rebellion, and the …read more

Jesus, I go mow my lawn for a few hours and all hell breaks loose in Metal news. I hate mowing my lawn. Mainly because I have about an acre to mow and I have to push mow it. It’s good exercise though and hopefully it’s the last time I’ll have to mow it this year. The only really good thing about it is that I get to listen to a few cds all the way through. But seriously…nobody wants to hear me bitch about mowing the lawn.

Alright. Vacation is over and I’m back home. Aside from going to the biggest concert I’ve been to in over 10 years, the rest of the weekend was a great time as well as the family and I went to the beach, the zoo, the aquarium and a Naval museum (No it’s not a museum of belly buttons). Just a word of advice for anyone planning a vacation and looking for hotels online. Check out Hotwire.com. I got a room to sleep myself, my wife and kids in Norfolk, VA for 88 bucks a night at a Sheraton. It’s a …read more

May 15th at The Whiskey in Los Angeles Black Tide will be playing a free show. Everyone is invited and doors open at 7pm. The free show will be played during the release part for “renegade” writer James Frey’s new book “Bright Shiny Morning“.
You might remember James Frey. He was the guy who wrote the book A Million Little Pieces that was supposed to be an autobiography about how bad his life had been and Oprah of all people revealed that it was a bunch of B-S and exaggerations. So he’s got a new book coming out….wooohOo! BFD. But …read more
