2011: The albums to watch out for (Pt. 2)

Hello and welcome to part 2 of my 2011: The albums to watch out for feature. I know, I know, not a very catchy name is it? But in my defence, I haven’t stopped drinking since Christmas Eve and I’m pretty sure I’ve now killed all but one of my remaining brain cells.

If you haven’t read part one yet, why not? Go do it now. And then come back and read part 2 after the jump.

Lordi reveal Gwar’s secret…

Lordi, Gwar, what’s the difference? Fuck knows. More to the point, who cares? Both suck, right?

Regardless, in a recent interview, the Lordi frontman, whoever or whatever that is, discussed the differences between the two bands. The man in a costume went on to say that both are rock bands dressed up as monsters, but that Gwar aren’t quite so serious.

Mr Lordi then finished by revealing Gwar‘s dark secret… That actually, despite claiming they’re aliens, they too are just humans in costumes. Wow, well thankyou for pointing out the obvious.

In other news, the Gwar frontman recently stated that Michael Jackson was an alien. Well thank you too for pointing out the obvious.

The Haunted Unseen

Thrash titans, The Haunted, have revealed the new title for their forthcoming album, as being Unseen.

Unseen is the seventh album and scheduled for release in March. In addition, if you live in Sweden and fancy catching the band live, you can see them perform at the “P3 Guld” (Swedish radio’s annual music awards) live awards ceremony broadcast on January 22, 2011 from Lisebergshallen in Gothenburg, Sweden. I’ve seen the band twice now and I’d highly recommend checking them out.

2011: The albums to watch out for (Pt. 1)

So as 2010 comes to an end, we all forget the mistakes of the past year, the dodgy synth driven pop albums of aged Nu-Metal acts, the mediocre drivel released by once good bands,  and now look forwards to the promised releases of the forthcoming year. Will the albums be as brilliant as promised, or will they flop quicker than my penis after I see Lady Gaga on TV? Time will tell.

So which albums should you watch out for in 2011? Read on after the jump to find out.

Rob Zombie needs more money

It seems that, once again, Rob Zombie‘s cash is getting pretty low. Why else would the alleged “musician,” not being contempt just releasing crappy new albums and crappy films, now also be set to release some crappy coffee?

Like coffee? Then don’t bother drinking your fancy-pants Golden Blend hardcore ultra strong organic coffee, just drink some of “Rob Zombie‘s Hellbilly Brew.” Yeah, sounds just lovely…
