This time of year there is never a surplus of time for anyone. Besides the snail speed flow of report worthy metal news this week, time just hasn’t been on my side. To keep things short, here are some significant things that went on the Metal since Friday.

• Machine Head’s Phil Demmel collapsed on stage again on Friday. This is the third time it’s happened and the second time it’s happened this year. Machine head has canceled the last tow shows on this leg of their tour and will be heading back top the states. Phil suffers from a rare heart condition called Cardiogenic Syncope. Wish him well as Machine Head will be heading back out on tour on Wednesday with Metallica and The Sword.
• Lacuna Coil has revealed the name of their next album as “Shallow Life” which will come out some time in 2009. For the record I, like many others still find Christina Scabbia extremely sexy.
• Chimaira is in the mixing stage of their follow up to Resurrection. I still haven’t heard of a release date for this yet.
• Job For A Cowboy parts way with guitarist Ravi Bhadriraju just as they’re are getting ready to hit the recording studio. No word a yet who will replace Bhadri…Bhadrij…Bhadji…him.
• Haste The Day has lost their drummer. Devin Chaulk has decided to move on after 8 years with the band and pursue active ministry with his family.
• Say It Ain’t So, Dave…Rumors are starting to flow over the net that the next run for Megadeth’s Gigantour will have bands on the bill such as Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine. I’ve never been to a Gigantour and unless it swings by my way I probably won’t go to one anytime soon. With that said I still feel for anyone that wants to go to see Megadave play and has to sit through those two bands. Let’s just hope that it’s a bad rumor. Hit up the Megadeth Forums and beg and plead with Dave not to let this travesty happen!

Testament

But anyway, that’s cool and good for them because The Formation Of Damnation is a great album. Now if you wonder how they won just take a look at the bands they were up against. Bullet For My Valentine, Children Of Bodom, Down and Atreyu. The only band that in my opinion had a chance is Children Of Bodom, with the release of Blooddrunk.

I really should have spent my money on an old Testament CD or something. Oh well. I guess I’ll just ad The Poison to my disappointment collection.

I know I’ve done some promo stuff for this band but I have to be brutally honest sometimes and now is one of those times. Like I said, I haven’t heard the new CD and who knows? I might like it. I didn’t like the singing on Trivium’s Ascendancy but I like the singing on The Crusade. When it comes to a good band I’m very picky about the vocals. The Poison just doesn’t do it for me.

Revolver magazine heralded the band “British Import of the Year,” and has the band on the cover of its March issue, themed “The Future of Metal.” Front-man Matt Tuck says, “We have stepped it up a gear…This album is chock full of classic Bullet ingredients. Metal riffs, pounding rhythms, shredding solos and great melodies.”

To support the release of Scream Aim Fire, Bullet For My Valentine will set off on what will be more than two years of solid worldwide touring, starting in the UK & Europe in January, and then coming to America for the Taste Of Chaos tour kicking off at the Fillmore in Denver, CO on February 29^th.

The Welsh metal-core band has spent most of the past two years taking over the world with massive U.K., European, U.S and worldwide tours, sharing the stage with Guns N Roses, Metallica, and Iron Maiden, playing the Main Stage at just about every rock festival on the planet, and seeing their 2006 debut album The Poison sell more than one million copies worldwide.

Bullet For My Valentine are: Matthew Tuck (Guitar/Vocals), Michael “Padge” Paget (Guitar/Background Vocals), Jason “Jay” James (Bass/Background Vocals), Michael “Moose” Thomas (Drums)
