New Anthrax album in September (?)
I would still give my left arm to hear the original version of Worship Music, with Dan Nelson on vocals, but Anthrax are moving forward and Worship Music, with Joey Belladonna on vocals, has a release date.
Yes, you read that right. It finally has a release date. When? According to Blabbermouth, who got that news from Rockline Radio, it’s set to be released on September 13 (in the US. One day earlier in Europe).
On the Rockline website, in the Calendar, you can find the following date:
9.12.11
Anthrax
National Radio Premiere: “Worship Music“
So, that’s finally some good news about ‘Thrax. Let’s hope they’ll stay true to that date and not postpone it again.
New Linkin Park video! Cover your eyes!
If there’s one thing I like about Linkin Park, is that they… Wait, I don’t like anything about them.
Anyway they’ve got a new video out for their new song “Insert name here if you care.” I guess it’s off their new album which had 20 interludes.
Umm, not much I can say as I truly don’t give a crap, but you can check out a sneak peak right here, yo. Now you know what to hide from.
New Opeth artwork looks ‘happy’
Opeth revealed the artwork for their upcoming album and is it just me, or does it look like a Miley Cyrus CD?
What’s with all the colors and why are the band members placed in a tree? Is it a metaphor?
One bad apple spoils the bunch… You can grow a better band in a tree… What are they telling us?
Help!

Kerrang votes Most Influential Rock Bands
So first off, I need to set the record straight. I’ve never bought or read a Kerrang! magazine myself, just like I’ve never read a Metal Hammer magazine. The only metal magazines I get once in a while are Nuclear Blast’s BLAST! magazine and a couple more Merchandising magazines. I’m informing you of that because I want to make clear that my following rant is not meant to be offensive towards a magazine I’ve never even read myself.
With that being said, Kerrang! magazine are having a Top 10 — about the most influential rock groups of the last 30 years — in their next issue and, at first look, it’s incredibly bad and people on other websites are already bitching about it. But you have to take three things into consideration before you make a judgement about said list.
- The list was voted by the readers of Kerrang! magazine, therefore it’s not Kerrang’s fault if the list is garbage.
- A Top 10 list, especially about a topic like that, is pretty hard to tackle and some people are always going to disagree with some, or all, of the places.
- Commenters on Blabbermouth are bitching. So fucking what? That’s all this site is known for.
Now, make the jump to finally see the list and to read my comments about each band, that made the list.
New Gojira EP details
Thanks to Metal Hammer we have some more details regarding the upcoming special EP from Gojira.
The EP is going to feature a whole wealth of artists, so it’s like all your favorite porn stars involved in one awesome film. Only this is music and it won’t make people think you’re a weird pervert, but my analogy sure will make people think I’m one. Oh well…
The EP will feature none other than Devin Townsend, Randy from Lamb of God, Max Cavalera of four million bands (Soulfly etc), Anders of In Flames, and some of the dudes from Meshuggah. It’s also for charity and Greenpeace, but I don’t really care about the preachy crap, because I’m hardcore like that. If you do, however, you can get all the details from Metal Hammer.
