The Goth rock scene in the United States went underground just as quickly as it came. Bands like Lacuna Coil and Evanescence (If you want to call them goth) popped onto the scene, but the genre went back underground (in the U.S. anyway)without giving many other bands a chance to emerge. Many bands broke from the scene in order to stay on the mainstream and break from the “Trend”, while others stuck to their roots and soldiered on. One of those bands is indie label, Renaissance Records recording artist Temujin. With their latest release 1000 Tears. 1000 Tears brings …read more

A while back I got some cd’s in the mail from Renaissance records. 4 of them to be exact. I wrote a quick review on the Legions Of Heatheria. That was a unique band with a strangely mixed sound that still somehow worked.

Dave Mustaine has issued this Gigantour update at the Gigantour.com website:
“Today is Monday and there is one week left before we leave for Alaska. We will come home after that for 16 days and then it is off to the Pac Rim, and eventually to Australia, to start this awesome line-up of Gigantour 2007 in Australia, better known as G.2007.OZ!

This is my tribute to some of Heavy Metal’s women. Some are not the prettiest but they rocked all the same…then there are some that didn’t quite rock but were worth using the mute button when the videos come on. Now I know that I probably left out a few significant ladies but I can’t post them all here and some I wish not to.
Some are old, some are new…and some are dead. None the less Each and every one has had some kind of impact on heavy metal or hard rock either past or present. Enjoy the eye candy.
