The Haunted enter studio

Rivaling Job For a Cowboy and Megadeth for most ridiculous band name, The Haunted will be entering the studio tomorrow to record their follow up to 2008’s Versus. The band are hoping their seventh studio album will be released by early 2011.

The Haunted aren’t really haunted by the way, it’s just a “cool” name. A bit like how the frontman, Peter Dolving, isn’t a dolphin.

You’d probably expect the band to say that this will be their “heaviest” yet, or that they’re going back to their “roots” after the criticism they faced from their last two ‘more experimental’ albums, right? Apparently not, as Dolving basically said ‘fuck ’em, we’re going to keep doing what we want.’ Good for them! Read more at Blabbermouth.

Devin Townsend Romona Footage

He may be a world leading hair stylist and fashion designer, but fortunately Devin Townsend still has the time for music, with the man recently headlining the Romona stage at Romona, in California.

Townsend is also currently working on new music, “Deconstruction” and “Ghost” — the third and fourth in a series of albums to be made available under “The Devin Townsend Project.”

Videos after the jump.

Adler doesn't kiss Axl's Ass

After months of news relating to Adler kissing Axl‘s ass and constantly talking about his desire for a Guns N’ Roses reunion, the man has switched to frustration, calling Axl a “total baby.”

In other news, Steven also doesn’t seem to like Keyboard players much, saying the only thing he would have allowed if he were still in the band, was one keyboard player, at the side of the stage and wearing a mask.

Adler is still begging for a reunion, so it’s probably not a good idea for him to call Axl a baby and continuingly refer to his former band mates as “assholes”…

Then again, we all know if a GNR reunion actually happened (which it won’t), they would reunite with Matt Sorum anyways…

Pop Up Your Ass

Great news if you still think Metal bands covering pop songs is cool. Proving just how damn Metal they are, Italy’s Arthemis (who? Yes I thought the same thing) have recorded a free EP of pop covers, exclusive to pop “Metal” magazine, Metal Hammer.

The tracklisting is:

Madonna – Express Yourself
Britney Spears – Womanizer
Micheal Jackson – Bad
Lady Gaga – Paparazzi
Destiny’s Child – Survivor
Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music

You can download the album here. That’s if you want to waste your time.

P.O.D. A.R.E. B.A.C.K.

C.A.N. I. G.E.T. A.W… (you get the idea). Can I get away with doing the same joke twice in one day? Who cares? I’m way too lazy.

According to P.O.D.‘s website (why was I checking P.O.D.’s website? Because I thought it stood for Porn On Demand, ok!), the band are not dead (shame I know), and will be heading into the studio next month to record a new album.

I can’t wait for more Nu-Metal cross reggae rap Christian styled mish-mash. Yeah youth of the nation y’all!
