Ask Alexandria if she wants tiger blood
British metalcore band Asking Alexandria were asked to join Charlie Sheen’s ‘My Violent Torpedo of Truth’ tour.
Apparently their notorious partying ways caught the (tiger) eye of Sheen, who wanted them as his opening act.
The band, however, respectfully declined, as they have touring plans to stick to. They assured him that they also have tiger blood though, so I guess they should be best friends or something.

Friday headlines and shit…
Floridian Metallica cover band metal band Trivium (pictured above) finished recording their new album. Where do you think they recorded it? Florida, duh. There’s some footage of Matt Heafy recording vocals, so if you want to see it, make the jump off a bridge.
Unearth, the band whose name sounds like something Al Gore would preach about, are also recording an album. It’s called ‘Darkness In The Light‘ and it’s coming out this summer. I wish all bands would name their albums with an oxymoron. Can you imagine Slayer? ‘Kerry King Slim.’
Another band that starts with the prefix ‘un-,’ Unexpect, is releasing an album. It’s called ‘Fables Of The Sleepless Empire‘ and it sounds like something Peter Jackson would direct. Track listing and artwork here.
Geddy Lee of Rush is also preaching about a new album. Gee, is he gonna use new album pep clichés like ‘heavier’ and ‘diverse’? You betcha.
There is pro footage of Accept performing ‘Neon Nights’ at Hammerfest and boy, I sure ain’t excited about it. In fact, who are these guys? Make the jump for the video if you’ve ever heard of them.
Speaking of bands you’ve never heard of, Communic also have a new album out called ‘The Bottom Deep.’ I could tell you when it’s coming out and what the tracks are, but I’m not gonna. 8==D
Chimaira’s big announcement [new lineup revealed]
Dose of Metal can see into the future, that’s why we’re bringing you the big Chimaira announcement Mark hinted yesterday, before it even happened. Of course, I’m just kidding, but being the no-lifer has its benefits — I’ll be “live blogging” the stream and the most interesting details, and updating this post. Join me if you’re too lazy to watch it yourself – it should start at 9 pm EST.
To clarify one thing: three members have left Chimaira, not everyone except Mark, but I figure he’ll be streaming tonight, that’s why the blurry faces. Now, make the jump and hit the refresh button.
Pointless Ozzy video
OzTV is a clever contraction of Ozzy and TV, if you didn’t realize that, in which case you’re probably too stupid to know how to read to begin with, so I can say anything I want about your mother right now, like how she likes diseased cocks and shit.
Anyway, “the new OzTV episode is here!” is what I read and I looked at it and I couldn’t figure out just what the fuck it is about. It looks like a trailer for something. Ozzy is barely on screen, 5 seconds tops. What is this? Is this a subtle message or something?
Help a pimp out. Make the jump, see the video, explain to me what it’s supposed to mean.
Phil Anselmo remembers Peter Steele
In January, Revolver magazine published a ‘Fallen Heroes’ issue about legendary musicians that died and it included a bit of Phil Anselmo, of Pantera fame, remembering Type O Negative’s Peter Steele, who died a year ago today.
At the time, Revolver didn’t print Phil’s entire text though but they decided to publish it online today. You can read that after the jump, or here. Personally, I really liked what he had to say.
