Speaking Of Twisted Sister

Scott — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:11:11 +0000

Here is a cover of Twisted Sister’s Burn In Hell from their Stay Hungry album. The cover is by Black Metal artists Dimmu Borgir. This was actually the first Dimmu Borgir song I ever heard. I saw them in an interview about 4 years ago and ran a search and this song came up. It’s a pretty cool cover/rendition of a classic T.S. tune. Enjoy.

Scott — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:12:13 +0000

A lot of good stuff hits the stores today. New Eps, Albums and DVD’s. I also have a few things to run in review coming out later, like Mushroomhead’s Vol.2, which is really cool if your in to Mushroomhead and Vision Of Disorder’s Dead In New York live DVD of their very last show in 2002.

Gojira – The Way Of All Flesh (Prosthetic) Amazing. enough said. Get it!

Book Of Black Earth – Horoskopus (Prosthetic) If you like death metal and you like black metal or the blackened death metal than this is something worth picking up.

Early Man -Beware The Circling Fin (The End Records) Thrash throwback down a lot better than most of the bands doing it right now.

Unearth – The March (Metal Blade)

Haste The Day – The Dreamer (Solid State)

Sonic Syndicate – Love And Other Disasters (Nuclear Blast)

This Is Killing Me!! Nicholas Cage’s Ex Girlfriend

Scott — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:04:58 +0000

Anyone else get a good laugh every time you see news about Dimmu Borgir front man, Shagrath and his bride to be who’s name is apparently “Nicholas Cage’s Ex-Girlfriend”. Seriously, why do they have to refer to her as that. I never knew or cared that this chick was Nicholas Cage’s Ex. Do you think when he introduces her to people he’s like “Bill, I’d like to you to meet Nicholas Cage’s ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton.”. C’mon now. Who really cares who’s ex-girlfriend she is?

They were supposed to get married and had to post pone it for reasons that I could care less about and don’t feel like typing up here. I wonder if they will be married in Holy Matrimony or will it be Unholy Matrimony?

Minister: Do You Stian Tomt Shagrath Thoresen take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife.

Shaggy In a most evil voice) I do…

Minister: And do you, Nicholas Cage’s ex-girlfriend take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in corps paint and in flesh, in plague and in famine, till death do you part?

Nichoals Cage’s Ex-girlfriend: I’m sorry, What???

Iron Maiden Strappin’ On Their Football Boots

Scott — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:07:16 +0000

“No, they’re playing soccer, stupid!” That’s a statement I’m expecting from the first douche that doesn’t think about the fact that they call it football everywhere else but the U.S. (And maybe Canada, I don’t know).

Iron Maiden is set to compete in a soccer match with some Norwegian rockers and few former professional soccer players. Don’t be surprised if Maiden get’s their arses kicked like they did the last time they played (8-1). They will be playing before their performance in Oslo on Thursday the 24th of July…me Mum’s birthday. Below is the list of the blokes from Norway that will be playing.

Diesel Dahl (TNT)
Simen Hestnaes (DIMMU BORGIR)
Hank von Helvete (TURBONEGRO)
Dan Raaden Hoque (BACKSTREET GIRLS)
Ole Jørgen Moe (CADAVER)
Kenneth Nilsen (WAKLEVÖREN)
Sverre Dæhlie (AUDIOPAIN)
Christer Krogh (GRAND CAFE)

Blackest Of The Black Tour Rides Once More

Scott — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:25:15 +0000

Glenn Danzig’s Blackest Of The Black tour will be this October and November and will feature Danzig headlining, of course along with Dimmu Borgir, Winds Of Plague, Moonspell and Skeletonwitch. Pretty cool line up if you ask me. Tour dates have yet to be announced. You can learn more at the link below and I’ll be trying to keep things updated as time passes.

The mastermind of the Blackest Of The Black tour, Glenn Danzig was quoted as follows.

“It will be nice to get back to many of these cities that I have not been to in some time and do the live show for all the people who’ve followed my music all these years. I’m also very happy to have DIMMU BORGIR sharing the stage this time as they are one of my favorite bands and always wanted them on Blackest of The Black. Should be an incredible 20th anniversary tour.”

CHROME DIVISION – BOOZE, BROADS AND BEELZEBUB

Scott — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:38:34 +0000

Repost From Nuclear Blast Newsletter:

CHROME DIVISION, the Norwegian five-piece featuring DIMMU BORGIR frontman Shagrath (a.k.a. Stian Thoresen) on guitar, will release its second album, Booze, Broads And Beelzebub, later this year (exact release dates tba) via Nuclear Blast Records!
The follow-up to 2006’s Doomsday Rock ‘n’ Roll, Booze, Broads and Beelzebub was recorded at Studio Fredman in Sweden during January 2008 and contains a dozen or so tracks, including a cover of a classic ZZ TOP tune.
The material is described by the band as “a bit more varied than on ‘Doomsday Rock ‘n Roll’. A bit more metal, more fast stuff, but still the basics in filthy rock ‘n’ roll.”

Doomsday Rock ‘n’ Roll landed on the Norwegian album chart at position No. 31 back in 2006. The disc was recorded in Oslo, Norway, last winter and contains a musical direction described by the band as “stripped down groovy rock ‘n’ roll with a primitive attitude.”

CHROME DIVISION shot a video for the Doomsday Rock ‘n’ Roll track “Serial Killer” in Gothenburg, Sweden with director Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, SOILWORK). Watch the clip here.
CHROME DIVISION lineup:
Shagrath – Guitar
Luna – Bass
Eddie Guz – Vocals
Ricky Doom – Guitar
Tony White – Drums

Century Media Newsletter Part 1 | Behemoth US Tour, Blessed By A Broken Heart

Scott — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:02:21 +0000

Reposted From Century Media Newletter:

Behemoth Return To The States With Dimmu Borgir

Much like Into Eternity and Arch Enemy, BEHEMOTH will be saying goodbye to their most recent release with a stateside tour that rolled out the red carpet in Toronto last week. They’re direct support to Nuclear Blast’s Dimmu Borgir with Keep of Kalessin opening shows. This will be the third and last time BEHEMOTH will be touring in support of their final album on Century Media, The Apostasy.

Nergal (vocals, guitars) had a few words to preview the tour: “This is our third and final run in North America for this record. We toured like hell after Demigod and we’ve also been touring like crazy to support The Apostasy, but it feels like it’s time to slow down and live our lives a little bit. So it’s about time we stay home for awhile, get inspired and write another monstrous record. Anyway, this Dimmu Borgir tour is our top priority now, it seems like U.S. hasn’t witnessed a package this evil in a long time. Rest assured BEHEMOTH is a well oiled machine and ready to prove its might.”
Since releasing The Apostasy and touring as a featured act on last year’s groundbreaking (read: free) Ozzfest, BEHEMOTH has been on a roll. MTV2’s Headbangers Ball is airing a series of interviews in the coming weeks to cover this past fall’s Radio Rebellion Tour that the band was a part of along with Job For A Cowboy and Gojira. Tune in to Headbangers Ball the next few Saturdays to catch the feature before it ends.
