Tuesday Trivia: Metal is addictive

“No shit, Sherlock,” screams the reader, while some metal tune is blasting out their speaker. You think you’re so tough because you have the latest Slayer album and wear a band t-shirt? There are people in this world who actually claimed (and proved) that they can’t function without metal (and we’re not talking the daily dose of iron you have to take everyday). And there is one country in the world that’s willing to help you out, and even subsidy part of your paycheck. Make a quick guess which country it is, then make the jump.

In This Moment have two girls in their lineup

Don’t be fooled by the picture above, there are two chicks in In This Moment, the second one being the guitarist:

“When we received the news that we were a part of the ‘Music As A Weapon’ tour, we were overwhelmed with emotion; Maria and I were literally moved to tears“ said guitarist Chris Howorth while watching Desperate Housewives.

Read full article here.

Aww, poor Chris. It’s okay, we also cried when we heard about that tour. Ours weren’t tears of joy, I’m afraid, but still, tears were shed, this tour is gonna cause a lot of suicides.

When asked what his favorite “Young and the Restless” episode was, Chris had no comment. He just pointed to his boxset.

Vince Neil is no longer skating with the stars

Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil and pro-skate partner Jennifer Wester became the second pair to be eliminated from ABC’s newest reality show, “Skating With The Stars” after receiving the lowest combined judges’ scores and audience vote.

Aaaaw. We feel for the man, just imagine what it feels like to have a chance to hang out with some stars, and then have that taken away from you… Stay strong Vince Neil, they can take your skates and pride away from you (though you probably took away the second thing yourself by agreeing to enter such a stupid show), but they’ll never take your dreams!

Neuronspoiler release debut EP

Neuronspoiler are a traditional metal band from London which started as a project from former members of Headless Cross , and they’ve just released their debut EP, No One’s Safe. Official news announcement:

London-based traditional metallers, Neuronspoiler, have released their debut E.P., No One’s Safe, featuring five original songs, including one instrumental. No One’s Safe was recorded at London’s Monster Trax studios with producer Misha Nikolic (Mike Terrana, John West) with original artwork by Dan Kelby. The lyrics touch on subjects familiar to everyone, such as the lifelong search for people who understand you, and the feeling of isolation from a society that wants you to conform. No One’s Safe is available to download from iTunes and Amazon. CDs can be ordered direct from the band’s website (neuronspoiler.com).

Spoiler alert (lame joke, but I had to): If you make the jump, you can see the album artwork, track listing, and find out how to get a free song from the EP.

New music videos by Motorhead, Bring Me The Horizon, Crematory

Today is a good day if you’re bored and want to watch some music videos — “Anthem” by Bring Me The Horizon, “Get Back In Line” by  Motörhead and “Infinity” by Crematory have all been posted online. You can watch them after you make the jump, and in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days (or under few feet of snow if you’re from UK), you can watch The Damned Things‘ video for “We’ve Got a Situation Here” and Corey Taylor‘s  X-M@$ as well.
