If you live in California, RUN!
All kinds of evil music spirits are set to grab Southern California by the balls this September, so you’d better run the fuck away if you live in that area.
Why? Cause Epicenter will have Limp Bizkit, Staind, Papa Roach, P.O.D., Puddle Of Mudd and Five Finger Death Punch. No, I’m not making this up. Yes, you should be afraid. Yes, do touch me there.
“Limp Bizkit is back, more dangerous and contagious than ever with our original lineup, NEW album, ‘Gold Cobra’, and Epicenter to take your rock and roll fantasy past the extreme,” says Fred Durst. “I promise this will be a party you do NOT want to miss. Epicenter will be our first and only Southern California shindig. And fellas, don’t be mad that Epicenter will be filled with women…that’s how we roll.“

The good news is that it happens on September 24, so you do have enough time to plan your escape. The band news is, well, written above.
The Judas ‘farewell tour’ has been extended
I’m going to see Judas Priest live again soon, so please don’t take this post the wrong way. But I can’t stop making fun of the way they’ve handled press for this ‘farewell tour‘ which apparently isn’t really a farewell tour.
So what do you do when you pretend your current tour is the last one? You add more dates, of course.
North Americans, you’re in luck. You’ll be able to see this band for the (not really) last time starting in late October, all the way up to early December. Tour dates after the jump. They’ll be with Thin Lizzy and Black Label Society, so it’s not all bad (except for Black Label Society).
Full list of tour dates can be found on their official page.
Chickenfoot complete mixing
Chickenpoop Chickenfoot, the super group that are about as super as gone off chicken (mmm salmonella), have completed the mixing of their second album, which is expected to hit stores by the end of the year.
The album is, for the moment, called Chickenfoot IV, because the band thought it would be funny. It isn’t

Hear the new Unearth album now
What is this? The new fucking trend? Obviously I’m way out of the loop being an old man, but it seems another new Metal album is available for streaming today. This time it’s Unearth‘s new album Darkness In The Light. To be honest I wasn’t even aware they were working on a new album, which is kind of funny since, knowing me, I probably reported on it a while back and just forgot about it.
Anyways, the album can be streamed in its entirety at AltPress.com.
Hear the new Devin Townsend albums
Now this is more like it, although you can also hear the new In Flames album, I’d personally just skip that and listen to new albums from the Devin Townsend Project. Both Deconstruction and Ghost are out now in most of the world, and will be released in North America tomorrow.
Both CDs are now available for streaming at AOL Music:
Deconstruction: audio stream
Ghost: audio stream
I’ve just given both a quick listen, and they sound fucking insane, which is great, because now I can pretend I’m on mushrooms without being stupid enough to take any. Read more on the albums at Blabbermouth.
