Brand new interview with Sully Erna

Hey, I know what you’re thinking on this early Wednesday morning/afternoon/evening (what, you expect me to guess your time zone? Fuck you). You’re thinking that there’s still more things you don’t know about Godsmack frontman Sully Erna, that you really want to know, aren’t you? Well consider this your lucky day then.  Alice of Anchorage, Alaska’s KWHL 106.5 radio station, talked to Sully, and you can check out the audio interview below.

In other news, scientists have discovered that there is no God, with The Oracle, the fifth album from Godsmack, selling 117,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 1 on The Billboard chart, and thus disproving  the existence of any higher being. Either that, or it proves that “God works in mysterious ways”.

More over at Blabbermouth.

Note: We didn’t interview Sully, we just posted it here as news. It’s being passed around the web as our own, which is simply not the case. It was conducted by Alice of Anchorage, Alaska’s KWHL 106.5 radio station. We’re sorry for this misunderstanding, but it is not our fault since all we did was embed it here.

Ex Korn guitarist likes the word ‘struggle’

As a regular reader of Dose of Metal, you’ll probably have noticed that my appearance on the site has been lacking somewhat in the last couple of weeks. You see, I’ve been going through some life struggles. You know, the usual struggles; like should I get up or stay in bed for another hour? Should I have left over pizza for breakfast, or would cereal be healthier? Should I masturbate again or is once enough for one day? And so on.

Brian ‘Head’ Welch, formally of Korn, has also been having some struggles of his own. Unlike my problems though, I doubt anyone really gives a shit about Head’s struggles. If you do care, you can find a new post by Head over at Blabbermouth. Like Brian Welchy Welch, though, I would have to question your sanity.

Head has also revealed that a new EP is on the way next year, and that the first single, ‘Paralyzed’, will be out October 4th. Lucky us, huh?

Filth sells… but who’s buying?

Last year’s Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, released by the Linkin Park/Britney Spears techno influenced tribute act, Cradle of Filth, didn’t sell too badly. It seemed to make the charts across various countries in the world, if you choose to believe Wikipedia, that is. So, perhaps that’s why the band have decided to release a new mini-album full of remixes, live shit, and B-sides from the Darkly Darkly sessions. I mean, if you can sell shit once, why not repackage it and try to sell it again, right?

Scheduled for a October 17 release, Evermore Darkly will be a CD/DVD package that includes new tracks, remixes, rarities, an on-the-road documentary and the band’s entire set from this year’s Graspop festival in Belgium.

Weekly Dose of Metal: Hypocrisy

Last week the unthinkable occurred; no ‘Weekly Dose of Metal’ was posted. I know what you’re thinking; “Holy fucking monkey balls!” right? Wait, what’s that, you didn’t even notice? Ah well. You may have also not noticed that I haven’t been too active on the blog recently. Where have I been? No doubt you’d expect me to insert some sort of joke about me discovering a certain porn star and needing a week’s annual leave to masturbate continuously, but that would just be immature wouldn’t it?

If you’re still reading this by now, congratulations, you deserve a medal for deciphering through my poorly written opening paragraph, that has nothing to do with neither Metal nor Hypocrisy. So as a reward, you can listen to the song ‘Deathrow/No Regrets’ (wow, two names? That’s almost as awesome as my two penis’s), taken from the album Into the Abyss, below.

There is a God

Hallelujah, famous crapcore guyliner endorsers’ Avenged Sevenfold have announced they’re not thinking about a next album yet.

First Disturbed announced they were breaking up and now Avenged Sevenfold announce they’re not thinking about doing another album at this time. I think this year is getting better and better by the minute. Don’t you?

If you are interested in what Avenged Sevenfold ARE doing, then why not browse over to Blabbermouth before collecting your terrible taste in music award?
