No Pantera Reunion

Former Pantera, current Down, bassist Rex Brown recently did an interview with Sonic Excess.

The most interesting part in said interview was when the interviewer asked Rex what his thoughts were on a Pantera reunion and Brown said:

“I just don’t see it happening. It would be great in one factor, that we would play with Vinnie again and that it would be all sorted out. But, I think it would be… I just don’t think it would be right without Dime. It was only the four of us, and I don’t know anybody that can play like him.”

Spotlight: Dozza & The Dragonslayers

Well, who the fuck are Dozza & The Dragonslayers? An unsigned band from Tromsø, Norway that likes to cream women in the face.

If you like metal with silly lyrics, check out this song

Or go to their MySpace page.

Lordi drummer unmasked = No more Lordi drummer

Lordi drummer Kita (Sampsa Astala) chose to unmasked herhimself for her his side project Stala So.. The rest of Lordi seemingly don’t want people to know that Lordi consists of real human beings so Kita got the kick.

In my opinion, Sampsa Astala (what a shit name) could easily still be part of Lordi, masked or unmasked. Make what you want of that statement. Picture after the jump. I’m tempted to put a NSFW warning here but there’s no nudity in there, just ugliness.

Adult Swim goes metal

Adult Swim, the channel that also brings you Metalocalypse (By the way, Dethklok are back on the air since last week), now hosts a free metal album, including unreleased and rare songs by such artists as Death Angel, Skeletonwitch, Isis, Pelican and 12 other bands.

Sounds pretty sweet, right? Well, it is pretty sweet. Check out the album cover, tracklist and the link to the album after the jump.
