Machine Head reveal new album artwork
The point of news is generally that it is new, but in this instance the news isn’t really all that new. Unfortunately, Machine Head did release the artwork for their new album a few hours ago, but I was too busy masturabting getting laid, to really pay attention.
So in case you hadn’t heard, and presuming you care, Machine Head will release their new album, Unto The Locust, on September 27 via their label, Roadrunner Records. The album cover can be found above, albeit cropped, or in full after the jump. Or you could just click over to Blabbermouth who have a whole fucking essay written out on the album.
Staind solo-lololo
Staind, the band Fred Durst listens to when he’s feeling emo, can’t write for shit. They have about 5 albums to prove my claim, and what’s even better, now they’re officially admitting it: They can’t write solos, and they’re letting other people do it for them. Haha.
Well, truth is, they’re having some competition where they’ll let fans write alternative solos for their song (with an ironically amazing title) Not Again. The winner of the competition will get Aaron Lewis’ NASCAR ornaments and a shotgun, while in return, Staind will receive another 5 albums worth of solos. That’s why we urge you, even if you’re just a shitty guitar player (therefore already above this band in terms of quality) and want to do it ‘for the lulz,’ simply don’t. In case you really want to give it a shot, you can find details here.
I have Corey to thank
Br00tal frontman of Slipknot, gingerpubes Corey Taylor has landed himself a best seller with his debut book (ugh I say “debut” as if they’ll be more, I really hope there wont be) ‘Seven Deadly Sins – Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good’. The book charted at position No. 26 on the New York Times “Hardcover Nonfiction” best sellers list according to Blabbermouth.
Seriously, here I am “writing” for Dose of Metal, struggling to make ends meet, and there are people like Corey Taylor “writing” about their general crap, and making millions. I also just went to see the new Harry Potter film, and if pathetic drivel like that can generate billions (there were more plot holes than there are holes in my socks), then surely I could come up with something equally “good” that will make me some money? I’m going to call it “Make a Mark – The mark on the wall, between a rock and a hard place”. I have no idea what it means, but it’s surely just pretentious enough to work.
Dose of new metal
Hey guys, whatcha doing? Having a good day? Well, I’m here to ruin it make it even better for you. Five Finger Death Punch have a new song out! Aren’t you super excited? Well, then you’re going to go crazy over a new P.O.D. track! But wait, there’s more — some guys from Deftones met some guys from Far and made some completely new atrocity. The only reason “new” in the title isn’t “nu” is because I’ve managed to balance things out by finding a new Opeth song, and a surprise track by another band. Ooooo, which one is it?
Make the jump and find out.
Someone get Rob a Brit
No, Rob Halford isn’t looking for a British lover, he’s looking for a Brit award.
Legendary metal act Judas Priest were recently awarded with a Grammy award (which are honestly pretty lame, let’s be honest) and now the guy wants some recognition from his home country, from the British counterpart, the Brit awards. Seems only fair?
The only problem is The Brit Awards are a complete fix and only celebrate the shittiest of shitty artists. Not even I, some socially challenged, alleged “writer” for Dose of Metal, would accept a lame Brit award. Well, ok, that’s a lie – I would, but only because it would make my mom proud and I could then sell the award on Ebay.
If you want to read more on the story, and less on my lame rantings, then why not read the original article at blabbermouth. It’s not as good as porn, but it won’t get you into trouble.
