Children of Bodom like saunas
According to a recent interview with Children of Bodom keyboardist Janne Wirman, saunas have been very important with the recording of new album Relentless Reckless Forever.
In other news, saunas are also very important with the running of Dose of Metal. Oh yes, we all love a lot of sauna action together here too. Amazed? Fascinated? You should be.
GNR agree to pay late fine
We all know that Guns N’ Roses always turn up late for gigs (well, allegedly. I don’t know, because I wouldn’t go to a Guns N’ Roses gig if you paid me), so the organizers at the Rock in Rio Festival have said they will fine Axl and the band if they don’t take to the stage on time.
As fascinating as all this is, it’s not as awesome as our brilliant interview with the splendid Guns N’ Roses guitarist Bumblefoot. If you haven’t done so already, check it out here. Am I so lazy that I have to turn a new post into one about a previous interview? Yes, yes I am.
North Korea kept their promise
North Korea, the band with the silly name, not the country with the silly leader (which I can make fun of because I’m awesome I don’t live there), kept their promise, and yesterday they released their free EP, The Basement Tapes, Vol. 1. Why am I posting this today? Because if I did it yesterday, people would just dismiss the article as a joke.
So, what’s it like? I’ll tell you what’s it like — it’s free! So go over to their download page and listen to it. If I had to be a bit more specific, I’d say it sounds like… Erm… Rock. Too generic? Well, all this guitar music sounds like noise to me and I just drank my milk and I’m ready to go to bed. All kidding aside, it’s not bad at all, so if you’re for some post-hardcore-ish hard rock, give them a chance. You can also make the jump to see a performance video for Master Plan B and the album artwork.
Sybreed to release Challenger EP this April
Swiss Metallers Inbreed Sybreed have announced they have recorded a new song called “Challenger”, which will be released as part of an EP, for download on April 23 on iTunes. Three remixes from BAK XIII, Voicians and Drop (I really have no ideo who any of those are) will also come as part of the download.
This release is apparently to serve as a teaser of the kind of music the band are currently working on for the follow to 2010’s The Pulse Of Awakening. The band’s next album isn’t expected to be released until 2012, so hopefully it hits before the world ends.
Reign in blood… Shoes?
Is this an April Fool’s joke? After careful research (looking for a date on the original article), I can safely say: no. This is for real. You can soon be dunkin’ in Brooklyn Projects/Nike’s Reign In Blood SB Dunk High shoes. Just don’t expect to see Kerry King doing the same. Nom-nom-nom.
What do these shoes have in common with the Slayer album? Do they make you faster? Not really. Do they rain blood? Maybe, if you kick someone in the mouth with them. But mostly, they share the color scheme with the album’s artwork. Wooooooow. Make the jump to see a video.
