Metal just got its greatest journalist
Here I am, thinking I’ve seen it all. And I tried to spend the night browsing for some new beastiality clips, but I couldn’t find anything new. So I guess I did pretty much see it all… In my quest to kill a few minutes, I stumble on this gem on Reddit.
Meet Ezra, a 9 year old metal blogger. His favorite band is Iron Maiden, and he hates Reagan, and hippies, and Jesus. Seems a bit weird? Well, that’s him in the picture above, and I did start the article by mentioning beastiality. Now I’ve involved a small kid in the mix, so weird is an understatement.
But I digress. Over at his blog, you can read all sorts of awesome shit, like James Bond movie reviews, State of the day, and metal album reviews. Here’s a line from his review of Master of Puppets:
This is no album for wimps. This is a great album. My favorite part of this is the lyrics ” the weak are ripped and torn away…” That’s awesome. What makes it awesome is how James Hetfield sings it. It is also about batteries.
This is the style of writing we at Dose of Metal are aspiring to achieve one day. This kid > everyone.
New videos and free music round up
The title makes it sound like I’m going to provide for all your musical needs for at least a month, but it’s really just one song and a few videos. Well, you’re here, so… Make the jump and download the full Cavalera Conspiracy track, watch the video for “Better Man” by Hellyeah, “Ad Mortem” by Famine, or just scroll down and watch the best of the bunch, DevilDriver’s “Dead To Rights.”
Map of Metal
Have you ever felt lost when it comes to all the genres and subgenres in metal? Never knew the difference between Traditional Doom Metal and Blackened Death Metal? Haha, you suck.
But, Dose of Metal to the rescue. An awesomely named site, Map of Metal, is there to help you out with any doubts you have about a certain genre or historic aspects of metal, using an (you might have guessed it) interactive map in the process. Everything is clickable, every genre has a bunch of example songs, and the site opens with Black Sabbath playing. What else could you wish for? So, make sure to check it out right here.
Want to hear Christina Aguilera rape Marilyn Manson?
I know the picture suggests otherwise but I’m actually not talking about a sexual act. Even though, just imagine that. Bah.
Christina Aguilera recently decided to take Marilyn Manson’s ‘Beautiful People’ and turn it into a bubblegum pop song for her upcoming film ‘Burlesque’. It’s not a cover per se, but it just takes its name, drums and guitar riff and turns it into a completely new crapfest. Check it out after the jump.
Metal is geeky
Look, it’s Metal Sonic. Get it? No? Nevermind…
Metal is geeky. Thomas Gurrath (of Debauchery fame) said so, and now Luke Martin of the Prog-Metal project, Versed, has proven this point even further, by doing a Prog-Metal cover of the Flying Battery Zone music from Sonic and Knuckles.
So much for Metal being about death, blood, fire, war and sex 🙁
Check out Versed over at Facebook. You can listen to the cover after the jump. It also has a cool speedrun of the game whilst the music plays.
