Morbid Angel are Morbid

What’s that, Morbid Angel are morbid? Wow, I had no fucking idea. I only just learned this fact, thanks to Morbid Angel who have been nice enough to point it out by titling their brand new song as ‘I am Morbid’.

According to Blabbermouth, the band performed the new song for the first time during their appearance yesterday (Thursday, June 9) at this year’s edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg.

You can listen to ‘I am Morbid’ above.

Machine Head unleash Locust

Ok, so it’s June the 10th, not the 14th, so aren’t you the lucky fuckers, because you can hear Machine Head‘s brand new song ‘Locust’ right now. That’s right, just press play above and you can listen to the song in all its 7 minute 39 second goodness.

The track itself is fairly good, however the sound quality isn’t the best. I also believe this isn’t a final mix (or I could be wrong). I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed, but I’m also a huge Machine Head fan and my expectations may be a little high. Overall the song is good, and it really began to grow on me by the time I reached 3 or 4 minutes into the song. But what am I babbling about, just press play and make up your own damn mind.

One Minute Silence save you an earache

Reformed Rap-Metallers One Minute Silence have been forced to pull out of this year’s Sonisphere festival, reports Blabbermouth.

I have to give the band credit where due, though, they don’t pull any bullshit, they keep it real yo. Why have they pulled out? Because the band just aren’t in top shape and they’re facing some “life complexities” like bladder weakness or something (at least that’s what one Blabbermouth user speculates). I don’t know, read the story over at Blabbermouth if you care.

Honestly though, this is kind of a good thing. I mean, unless listening to a band that sounds like a cross between Limp Bizkit and Hed PE on a bad day is your thing.

Corey Taylor: “Don’t follow your dreams”

Corey Taylor is evidently as good a motivational speaker, as he is a Metal artist.

For some bizarre reason, the Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman recently spoke at England’s Oxford University. Why? I have no fucking idea (and if you’re wondering what his speech sounded like, it probably had plenty of those ‘f bombs’).

What was Corey’s message to the highly educated crowd of students? Don’t follow your dreams. Wow, thanks for the amazing incite Corey! I think I’ll just stick to masturbating to mediocre internet porn, drinking beer and getting the odd bit of sleep. I mean, may as well stick to what I’m good at right? Who needs dreams any way? Dreams are for pussies.

Blabbermouth also have a video interview that I’m way to lazy to embed. So head over there if you care (and I sincerely hope you don’t).

First snippet of new Machine Head album

In the video above, you can hear 30 seconds of Machine Head’s upcoming single ‘Locust.’ The single will be released on June 14 (that’s just in 6 fucking days!) and Machine Head’s upcoming album, the follow-up to The Blackening, also has a release date: September 27.

So let’s give the sample a listen. It sounds… different, especially the vocals sound way different to what we’re used to by Mr. Flynn. I’m not sure if I like the poppy chorus vocals (not sure if it’s actually the chorus, heh) but it’s way too early to judge it just yet.

It does already convince me that this is no Blackening 2 and I’m glad the Head are trying to spice things up there.

This is going to be a long week because I can’t wait to listen to the entire song.
