Happy Dream Theater

So last week we were nice enough to tell you how happy Mark Hunter, of Chimaira, is, and this week we’re nice enough to tell you that Dream Theater are also happy. At least according to Blabbermouth. In fact, apparently they’re really happy.

Wow, isn’t that nice? Chimaira are happy, Dream Theater are happy, everyone is happy. Well, except me, since I have no blowjob, no girlfriend and I’m still living in my parent’s basement.

By now you’re probably wondering what the news story is, and the answer is, I actually don’t care. Apologies. I haven’t even read the news story, but here’s my guess: The band are super happy without Mike and recording of the new album is going great. Am I right?

Devildrivica

Clever title right? Ok, no, it sucks right? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll live. I won’t cry myself to sleep, I promise.

So what’s the story about? Well, it seems Devildriver have begun recording a cover of Metallica‘s ‘Holier Than Thou’ for a 20th-anniversary tribute to The Black album. Video footage from the sessions can be viewed by clicking the link, courtesy of Blabbermouth, who in turn probably borrowed it from the band.

Judas Priest have no plans for retirement

Judas Priest could settle down, get a nice little cottage in the English countryside, drink cups of tea and enjoy a nice little retirement (that’s probably what K.K. Downing is doing right now). But nope, that’s not in their plans, instead they’re going to stay fucking Metal apparently (not literally fucking metal, that would be painful of course, I just mean they’re staying as an active Metal band).

But we all already knew this right? I mean we’ve already covered the controversies of the band’s “Farewell Tour” in which the band aren’t actually saying farewell as such, they’re just fucking with semantics (again, not literally fucking. That would be impossible).

So yeah, I didn’t actually read the story, I just made this post purely from seeing the headline over at Blabbermouth. I’m not even joking. If you care though, why not head over there and read the story yourself? It might contain something interesting I missed because I’m a lazy bastard.

Morbid Angel are Morbid

What’s that, Morbid Angel are morbid? Wow, I had no fucking idea. I only just learned this fact, thanks to Morbid Angel who have been nice enough to point it out by titling their brand new song as ‘I am Morbid’.

According to Blabbermouth, the band performed the new song for the first time during their appearance yesterday (Thursday, June 9) at this year’s edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg.

You can listen to ‘I am Morbid’ above.

Machine Head unleash Locust

Ok, so it’s June the 10th, not the 14th, so aren’t you the lucky fuckers, because you can hear Machine Head‘s brand new song ‘Locust’ right now. That’s right, just press play above and you can listen to the song in all its 7 minute 39 second goodness.

The track itself is fairly good, however the sound quality isn’t the best. I also believe this isn’t a final mix (or I could be wrong). I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed, but I’m also a huge Machine Head fan and my expectations may be a little high. Overall the song is good, and it really began to grow on me by the time I reached 3 or 4 minutes into the song. But what am I babbling about, just press play and make up your own damn mind.
