New Crimfall song
Crimfall, the guys who look like Final Fantasy characters, have a new song out, and you can stream it right here, after the jump. Ain’t that great? God, we just give, give, give…
The song is called “Frost Upon Their Graves,” which to me sounds like a Finnish euphemism for ‘cemetery.’
Dave Mustaine is sneaky
Dave Mustaine of Megadave is being subtle on Facebook.
“I just went through a couple weeks of hell arranging something special for you this summer. Stay tuned! Because we are going to be having some Big shows coming up.” paid Dave some kid to write on his official Facebook page.
Read it here.
People are, of course, speculating about a Big Four Tour in the U.S. Since the ‘big’ has a capital B in it, Dave might be hinting at that with subtlety. We wouldn’t be surprised considering how well the DVD sold. Oh btw, we’re also giving one away, motherfuckers, enter now before it’s too late.
New supergroup isn't super
Hank Von Helvete of Turbonegro is in a new supergroup. And by supergroup I mean mediocregroup. Together with Anders Odden of Satyricon, Tim Skold of Marilyn Manson, David Husvik of Extol and Audun Stegel of Apotygma Berzerk, the band is called Doctor Midnight And The Mercy Cult and will make their debut live show at the Slottsfjell Festival next year.
I hate the word ‘supergroup’ because most of the time these bands are anything but super. They’re just groups. I haven’t heard of half this lineup so how is this a supergroup?
Anyway, if you happen to be in Tønsberg, Norway next July between the 14th and 16th, check these guys out live. Their debut album is apparently done, too. Snooze.
A time for giving
An average metalhead probably doesn’t care about Christmas, and even less about Deftones, but it doesn’t mean we can’t be nice. Everyone knows that their bass player, Chi Cheng, had a car accident which left him in a state of coma, and his family pretty much broke.
The thing you can do to contribute is to buy a song by Sol Invicto (Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter‘s side project), which is a remix of “Diamond Eyes.” I know what you’re thinking, “I might as well go and buy the new Linkin Park CD,” but this song is only $0.99, not as shit, and ultimately serves for a higher cause. Make the jump to hear a preview of the song, click here if you consider donating.
Remember when Judas Priest went to court?
If you’re over the age of 35, chances are you remember that trial from the summer of 1990. Heavy Metal gods Judas Priest were taking to court because two stupid kids thought it would be a cool idea to try and commit suicide. The reason? Because the song “Better By You, Better Than Me“, supposedly had a subliminal message that told them to “do it”. Raymond Belknap successfully killed himself but James Vance actually survived.
Dream Deceivers: The Story behind James Vance VS Judas Priest is a documentary you need to check out, regardless if you’re a Judas Priest fan or not. It basically follows creepy James Vance and his ridiculously religious mom crying how metal music is evil and also thinks teens should not be listening to heavy metal music. The documentary also shows footage from the court room.
