Meshuggah’s new song title is long
What you can hear and see above is Meshuggah‘s new lyric video for their recently leaked track Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion.
I have no idea if the track is supposed to indicate that their new album is a concept one dealing with the rise and fall of emo subculture, but hot dayum, that’s long. That’s what she said, herp.
Anywho, it’s fucking Meshuggah, you either love it or you kinda suck.
Acoustic nu metal dubstep Korn cover will bring you success
We all know Korn as the band who invented metal ten years ago. They also reinvented it last year with their metalstep project, and it seems now they’re about to do the same to acoustic music.
A while back Metal Hammer posted about the above cover of Korn‘s Narcissistic Cannibal by British rock band The Dirty Youth. Seems that the band heard the song, and decided to take the band on tour with them for some European dates. Our only guess is that they’ll also write a “revolutionary” acoustic album together. Oh wait…
Foo Fighters win the right to be featured on this website
Because they won a “metal” Grammy. A lot of people got super pissed off about this, because the category they won is called hard rock / metal.
To explain: Dear metalheads, hard rock / metal means hard rock OR metal. Not hard rock and metal.
Either way, blame the people at Grammy’s who lumped bands like Dream Theater, Mastodon, Megadeth with Sum 41 and Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl did rock out a Slayer shirt (as seen above) so that makes it completely okay, right?
The thing I only care about is finding out if Skrillex won the best singer Grammy <3
#OccupySabbath
Seems a lot of fans feel pissed off about the whole Black Sabbath without Bill Ward situation, so much in fact that they’re willing to do the only thing that really counts: gathering on a Facebook page!
No, seriously there’s a Facebook page called 1,000,000 Black Sabbath fans say yes to Bill Ward which has been making news lately because it was made to show off the discontent most Black Sabbath feel about this whole “reunion without one member” thing. There’s also an online petition organized at change.org, so you can check that out as well.
Now, I don’t want to be the cynical asshole, and I actually liked the page myself (and I’d recommend everyone else doing it as well, it’s better than just bitching), but I’m not sure how well this will work. Currently, the people who liked the page amount to about a show and a half the band could do on the tour. What’s I’d suggest doing, and don’t take this advice unless you’re really butt hurt about this: Boycott the tour. That’s where the biggest money is, and that’s the only thing that might send the message across. If you bought the ticket, ask for a refund, because you’ve most likely bought it when the shows were branded as the “reunion” tour, which the new one won’t really be.
In short: #OccupySabbath! I AM THE 25%! Let us know if you have any other ideas. Tag your tweets with my highly original protest hashtag.
Jack Douglas wanted Stephen King to write lyrics for Aerosmith
Whilst we can certainly see why one would think Steven Tyler belongs in the Stephen King universe, the idea of him writing lyrics for the band seems kind of odd. Everyone else thought so too, apparently, but producer Jack Douglas really meant it, yo.
“They looked at me like I was crazy. I said, ‘No, I’m serious. If there’s anyone who’s going to inspire him, it’d be Stephen King. Steven doesn’t need melody — he needs someone who’s going to inspire him as a wordsmith. I don’t want a guy who’s just writing hits right now.‘”

Stephen King is a rock/metal fan, so maybe he would have said yes… Someone needs to adapt a Stephen King book and use the screeching sounds from Tyler’s national anthem performance to scare the audience off. Fuck it, Stephen Kings needs help from Tyler, not the other way around.
