The Haunted reveal tracklisting

The Haunted have revealed the tracklisting for their forthcoming album, Unseen.

Normally I’d either try and make a joke or just rip into the band right about now, but The Haunted are too damn awesome for that.

Find the tracklisting after the jump. You play a game, and try and imagine what the songs will sound like from the names or some crap.

Architects sell the odd album

British scene-core band (Metalcore? Deathcore? Apple Core?) Architects apparently did rather well in their home country with their latest album, The Here and Now, debuting at number 57 in the charts.

In the US, however, the band didn’t do quite so well. They sold 900 copies in the first week. Which is roughly half as many cakes I sold in my school bake sale, 15 years ago. Although to be fair, there was a man that looked like Gary Glitter buying all the cakes.

Read more here. About the band silly, not my school bake sale.

Testament are studio bound

Legendary Bay Area Thrashers, Testament are heading for the studio in March to record the follow-up to The Formation Of Damnation.

I could spend hours typing up all the details, or you could stop being lazy and just watch the video after the jump. Or you could do what I’m doing, and that’s watching a beautiful romantic comedy called Snow White Bangs 7 Dwarfs. It has a fantastic script and wasn’t filmed on a crappy camcorder like the video below.

Dose of Sunday Roast

Some of you regular readers may remember my Dose for Sunday article I posted a few weeks back, and today I’m doing something similar, but a little different. Imagine, if you will, it’s Sunday (doesn’t take much imagination, it IS Sunday), and your dear old Grandma is coming ’round for Sunday Roast. The only problem is, she’s a deeply religious woman that thinks all Metal music is the work of the devil and she wants to listen to some crappy Christian hymns that no one below the age of 50 can tolerate. It’s time for a compromise. Slap on some Christian Metal and she will love it*

Now don’t worry, I don’t have any agenda and I’m not trying to sell you any religious views. You also won’t find any P.O.D. crap in this article. This is just all about me recommending you some decent new music to check out, all whilst slapping on some lame gimmick to make it sound more interesting than it really is. So get your Sunday dosage after the jump.

*Disclaimer – may not actually be true. But don’t worry, if it’s not, just tell her it’s your f’ing house.

Joey flees the murder scene

Joey Jordison was recently spotted running from a murder scene. The murder being that of music, and the scene being a Murderdolls gig. Perhaps he had decided that enough was enough, and he could no longer sit back and partake in such awful music. Or perhaps it was just the fact that he was pissed off at “technical difficulties” – at least that’s the “reason” the band are citing…

Joey stormed off stage twice during the Bordeaux gig, with the band having to finish the song without him the second time. The “hilarious” footage (it’s not that funny actually. Want funny, watch Lostprophets trying to do a ‘wall of death’) can be seen after the jump.
