Phil takes one for the team…
Phil Anselmo got hit in the head by Pepper Keenan’s guitar during a Down show last night. He continued to perform with a bloody head. Because blood is metal.
Dave “Snake” Sabo (who?) reported this via Twitter:
“Holy shit! Pepper Keenan just hit Anselmo in the head w/ his gtr by accident & busted Philips head open! Blood all over the place! But they keep going!! Fucking awesome!“
Read full tweet here.
Blabbermouth has actual photos of the incident, we didn’t want to scare the kids and just drew some blood in paint. I think our photo looks better than the real ones but hey, what can you do?
Bring Me The Horizon just got a bit better
How, you may ask? Did they finally step out of puberty and got some proper vocals (seriously, look at that picture, they look 13)? Did they sell their soul to Satan and got some mad skills overnight?
No and no. The only way this band can become better, is if it stops playing, and that’s what going to happen — their drummer Matt Nichols broke his arm during a football accident (Americans: it’s the one where you hit the ball with a foot during the entire game). Harsh? Yes, but to rid you of your fears and anger (all three of you fans reading this), their shows are actually continuing as planned, with Dan Searle of Architects replacing him on drums.
Guess what? Anthrax have a new album coming out
It’s called Worship Music, and it’s been in the making for, like, what now? 5 years? Well, don’t expect to hear it anytime soon, because we’ve just been treated by a clip by Scott Ian, and it’s super cool — 28 seconds of some riff he’s been working on, and it’s more of a promotion for some new amp, then the actual album.
But it might come rather sooner than later actually, because recently it’s all they’ve been talking about, in an interview for Rolling Stone they say they’re as tight as ever (which means never), and in another one Charlie Benante says it’s the most emotional one they’ve ever done. I guess the main emotion being confusion. You know, because of the singer(s). O yeah.
You don’t mess with Limp Bizkit fans
Brisbane Times are reporting that a fight between two men, involving a Limp Bizkit CD, led to a murder of one of them. You’d think that the Bizkit fan was the murdered one, but no, it was the other way around, apparently.
The court was told Emmanuel McPherson, 48, objected when his flatmate, James Albert Madden, played a Limp Bizkit album on Mr McPherson’s stereo.
A fight then broke out, in which Mr Madden allegedly beat Mr McPherson to death.
Let me guess, he got mad wigger skills and shit, yo? Someone being murdered is no laughing matter, but Limp Bizkit is, so excuse me for making a joke out of this. We can only pray the James guy blames Limp Bizkit‘s satanic metal music so we see them in jail as well.
Check out: Primordial
No, this isn’t your weekly dose of Metal, but it is indeed a recommendation to all you serious Metalheads out there. We’re so awesome here at Dose of Metal, that we’re all about getting the good name of Metal out there, and I think it’s about time I mentioned a band called Primordial here at DoM.
Primordial are an extreme (Folk infused) Black Metal band hailing from Ireland, and believe me, that isn’t as bad as it sounds, trust me. The band began back in 1987, starting out as a Thrash and Death Metal band. However, following a slight lineup change in 1991, the and began experimenting more with the atmospheric sounds of Black Metal, as well as with their Irish Folk roots. Hell, Wikipedia has all the information you need on the band though.
The band have a brand new album out, which was released only yesterday, titled Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand. I highly suggest you check it out, as initial reviews are suggesting it’s one of the best Metal albums this year. The new song, ‘Bloodied Yet Unbowed’ taken from the album can be heard below.
