Want to hear Christina Aguilera rape Marilyn Manson?
I know the picture suggests otherwise but I’m actually not talking about a sexual act. Even though, just imagine that. Bah.
Christina Aguilera recently decided to take Marilyn Manson’s ‘Beautiful People’ and turn it into a bubblegum pop song for her upcoming film ‘Burlesque’. It’s not a cover per se, but it just takes its name, drums and guitar riff and turns it into a completely new crapfest. Check it out after the jump.
An 8 Minute video on the deaths of Dimebag and Paul Gray
Norwegian TV show “Lydverket” (web site) aired a mini-documentary about the deaths of “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott (PANTERA, SLIPKNOT) and Paul Gray (SLIPKNOT). During the eight-minute segment, which can be viewed below (with English subtitles), Vinnie Paul Abbott (PANTERA, HELLYEAH) and Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR) spoke openly about how they dealt with the losses of their bandmembers and friends, and in Vinnie’s case, his brother.
Usually, I really don’t like to just copy-and-paste news from another source, Blabbermouth in this case, but I don’t have a better description for the video myself, so I just did it now.
I’ve read and seen a lot about the death of Dimebag Darrell but I thought the video was pretty powerful and touching so it’s definitely worth a watch. Do so after the jump.
Interview: Chris (Jack Slater)
Jack Slater released their 4th album, ‘Extinction Aftermath,’ earlier this year. One of my favorite releases of this year but you’ll see my favorite albums list of 2010 soon enough.
Recently Slater’s bassist Chris agreed to do an Email interview with me, read it after the jump.
The main difference between Black and Death Metal is…
Black Metal and Death Metal. Two of the most prominent Extreme Metal genres (the most prominent being Thrash Metal), which both still haven’t been properly introduced to the mainstream audience.
To most non-metalheads Black and Death Metal are probably the same but there are lots of differences between these two. I’m not talking about church burnings and murders, or self-mutilating and wishing for everyone to committ suicide. I’m also not talking about the actual music, which is way different though. Just listen to Immortal and then listen to Cannibal Corpse and tell me they sound the same.
In my opinion, the main difference between Black and Death Metal is… (make the jump)
Pain is inspiration (A shining view on Black Metal)
Recently, while looking for “new” music for me to discover, I came across Shining, a Swedish Black Metal band. Black Metal from Scandinavia, that’s not too exciting now, is it? No yet but read on. I mainly checked them out because according to several sources, one of their main influences was Strid, a band I covered, among others, just yesterday in an article.
Strid are commonly recognised as the creators of Depressive Black Metal and Shining take that even further. How? Read on after the jump for stories about self-mutilation, hoping for people to committ suicide and more (most probably not safe for work).
