Diamond Head hearts Metallica
I don’t know what it is these days, a few years ago it was pretty standard slamming Metallica in the press. Now they seem to get mostly positive comments and praises. I wonder why that is. Actually, no I don’t, I honestly don’t care.
But Diamond Head are always credited with influencing Metallica a lot, Lars always praises them, blah blah, so the band is grateful that they’re getting so much attention from the four horsemen:
“I think without Metallica coming along and covering our songs, and giving us a leg up to reform and things, we may have just faded away like a hundred of other New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands. We may have got the odd little mention here and there, but I think without Metallica’s help, we would not have survived to this day.“

Aww, look at all the metal love and the British and American bands getting along. I’m actually a bit annoyed by this, a positive comment on a band is pretty boring for me to write, and probably even more boring (or is it boringer? Fuck you, what am I, Shakespeare?) for you to read. Where’s all the “Fuck those guys!!!” hate?
Nowadays the only metal hostility is on Blabbermouth and YouTube. If those trolls also start getting along, we might just have to start listening to Justin Bieber.
Kiss won’t kiss MJ goodbye
It was reported that Kiss would be part of a Michael Jackson tribute concert, but we didn’t post about it because we had better stuff to do…
But now it’s being reported that Kiss got kicked out of the gig, and we’re writing about it because, well, we’re lame and hypocritical. Apparently fans ratted Gene out:
“We have listened to Michael’s fans and are grateful to have been alerted to these unfortunate statements by Gene Simmons. Under the circumstances we fully agree that even though Kiss is a band Michael admired we have no choice but to rescind our invitation to them to appear in our tribute concert.“

So a couple of MJ fanboy snitched to the promoters that Gene actually called Michael a pedophile, so they gave him the boot. That’s pretty awesome… To be fair, I really don’t care about this story at all, so I have nothing else to add.
There are a few child puns I could try but let’s not get carried away here.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath – a reunion in the works?
Could this be the comeback of the decade? Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and the walking dead (Ozzy duh) have reportedly reunited Black Sabbath, with a new album to follow next year.
*fap* *fap* *fap*
Ok, so Ozzy has the vocal range of Steven Hawking, and as many brain cells left as I have pubes, but you just know that musically this should be fairly awesome. Well it’s got to be better than Black Veil Brides and the rest of the shit that’s currently clogging up Metal magazines’ space.
One thing I will put out there… Take this with a grain of salt. Allegedly Tony Iommi has confirmed to Birmingham Mail that the band have reunited, but Metal Hammer are claiming that nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Get even more news over at Blabbermouth. I’d say this news is probably worth straying away from your porn for.
Audiorama
Keeping up with horrible puns, here’s another post. I combined audio and panorama, and got an ‘awesome’ title — audiorama. One more? I combined horrible and comedy, and got the following — Dane Cook. Press.
The thing above is the new Deftones video for Beauty School, so we even have a little videorama going on, nice. If you make the jump, you’ll get to hear/see a bunch of other lame ones! Awesome!
Streamaira
Stream + Chimaira = Streamaira. Wow, just where do I come up with this shit?
Anyway, 1 + 1 = 2 (and 1 = 0.999), so it’s pretty clear what I have for you today: Online stream of the entire new Chimaira album, The Age of Hell! You can check it out right here.
