Muse plan great gig in the sky
British rockers, Muse, have revealed plans for a great gig in the sky. Well, just replace “great” with shit, and “the sky” with space. Yes, you read that correctly, as if Muse couldn’t get any more pretentious, the band are planning a gig in outer space.
According to The Guardian, the trio have discussed approaching Richard Branson to see if they could do it on his spacecraft. The Guardian goes on to say that the band would be following in the footsteps of Korn, who plotted a gig in an airplane, and Fall Out Boy, who aimed to perform in Antarctica, claiming only one of them was successful.
Korn? Fall Out Boy? Muse? Lol.
Powerwolf enter studio
Besides being the nickname I’ve given to my penis, I can safetly say that I’ve never heard of Powerwolf before. News is slow though, and I’m bored, so unfortunately I’ve been reduced to talking about my penis and reporting on bands called Powerwolf. And yes, I’ve already played with my Powerwolf three times today, so that’s no longer an option to cure my boredom.
According to Blabbermouth, the multinational Powerwolf have entered the studio to record the follow up to 2009’s Bible of the Beast. The new album is scheduled for release later this year, and will apparently, according to the band, be “100% Powerwolf“. As opposed to being 50% Powerwolf, 25% Lady Gaga and 25% Korn I assume.
Lamb of God are “unique”
Well, at least that’s what the drummer, Chris Adler claims in as recent interview. Perhaps he hasn’t heard the other 20 million Metal bands that have been crossing a mixture of Pantera riffs, cookie-monster inspired vocals and Hardcore influences though.
Ironically, Adler then goes on to say that there are too many copy-cat bands out there. Wow…
Could be worse though, they could be Linkin Park. Now that would suck.
Slipknot DJ goes solo
You’ve already had Corey with Stone Sour and his own solo shit, Joey with the Murderdolls, and the one that dresses up as a Clown with his lame Indie band, but the one you’ve all been waiting to go solo has finally done it. That’s right, the DJ has a solo album coming out this month, and this marks his first attempt at doing lead vocals.
Can Sid sing, or should he stick to scratching discs and pressing the odd button? Decide for yourself by watching the exclusive video for Hearts That Race after the jump. The video features state of the art CGI footage that rivals the likes of Avatar… Nah, I’m lying, it’s shit.
Poland has taste
Around the world, you hear stories of artists like Take That, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Kanye West (ugh it’s enough to make me vomit) winning awards, but it seems things are a little different in Poland.
It’s been announced that Blackened Death Metallers, Behemoth have been named “artist of the year” by the readers of one of the biggest Polish portals, Onet.pl. Ok, so awards are generally utter rubbish, but it’s good to see extreme Metal getting some recognition.
