Iced Iced Baby
Iced Earth (who?) lost their previous singer, Matt Barlow (who?), but have now found a replacement. We’re talking about the singer of Into Eternity (who?). His name is Stu Block (who?) and he’s amazing (no he isn’t).
As you can tell, I don’t really know these names, I just took this news from Blabbermouth because I’m about as original as Linkin Park. But yeah, if these names ring true to you, you should be on ”Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” because you obviously know a lot of names and shit. Education, yo… Use it, a’ight?
Not much else I can add, really. Make the jump to listen to an amazing song completely unrelated to this news post.
Get your updates
Dose of Metal is going all professional on your ass! Are you out of the loop when it comes to being up-to-date with what’s going on in metal? Who’s releasing a new album? What is Band-X’s new album called? We’ll tell you! Why? Because that’s what we do. We talk about metal! WOOO!
Polish Death Metal band Vader (not pictured above) are going into the Herz Studio in Bialystok, Poland to record the follow-up to ‘Necropolis,’ which is going to be called ‘Welcome To The Morbid Reich’.
‘Phoenix Amongst The Ashes’ is the title of Hate Eternal’s upcoming album and the band released the album artwork and songlist. Check them out after the jump.
Everybody’s favorite French fries guys Gojira released the following statement about their upcoming album:
“We are currently working on a live DVD with important bonus section: ‘The Way Of All Flesh From The Inside’, the Sea Shepherd EP (a non-profit operation with a lot of people involved is a bit complicated to wrap, but we’re getting there and we promise to release these songs soon). We’re also composing a new album! We’ve written pretty much half of it, and we are very excited by this new material. It’s a big step for us. These songs are original and a good reflection of what we are today. We are so focused on these things that sometimes we forget to communicate with [the fans], but we’ll try to post more updates from now on.”
Iron Maiden have announced the 20.000th a new best-of double-CD, entitled ‘From Fear To Eternity: The Best Of 1990-2010’. Artwork and songlist after the jump.
Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy mainman) has announced the albumtitle of the forthcoming Pain album. The album is going to be called ‘You Only Live Twice’. Eh, I can’t even come up with a good punchline involving that title. Think of one yourself, you lazy fool!
And the most important news of the past couple of days was that Kerry King is a bobblehead! Or The Music Farm are going to release a bobblehead moddled after Kerry King. Whatever. Check out a video of the bobblehead after the jump.
The glass is half full
According to The PRP, Children of Bodom and winner of best hair style of 2010, Devin Townsend are planning a June U.S. tour together. More details on the tour, which was recently confirmed by Townsend, are expected in the next couple of months.
Why do I say the glass is only half full? Well, because I happen to think Children of Bodom are complete meh, but Devin Townsend is awesome though. That, and because I just drank half my beer.
The Darkness return
The Darkness, otherwise known as the Pop band that successfully tricked brain-dead zombies around the world into thinking they were a unique, original and quirky Rock band, by ripping off superior bands and adding ridiculous falsetto vocals, despite the fact everything they did had been heard before in the 70s and 80s, only better, are officially back. I know you’re probably about as excited as I am at this prospect.
For those with poor memories, The Darkness rose to fame in the early 2000s when they released their breakthrough album, Permission to Land, which can only be described as like the sound of your parents making love; sickening. After the band’s fifteen minutes of fame was up, a large proportion of the population realized the band were in fact shit and their second album flopped, and the band then split up shortly afterwards (hallelujah).
It is with great sadness that we at Dose of Metal report on the band’s return, but we have to do these things unfortunately to warn you guys. We’ve already reported on one disaster this week and we don’t want another one. No doubt the band ran out of money and now they’re trying to pull the nostalgia card. Original guys, almost as original as your terrible music.
The band are also playing the UK’s Download Festival, which is brilliant news, because I’m not going. More info here.
Greg Cavalera Conspiracy Plan
What is Greg Cavalera Conspiracy Plan? Well, it’s Greg Puciato and Max Cavalera’s new project. I named it, and as much as I’m awesome, I doubt it’ll be the name they use. If Max calls the shots, it will probably be something 10 times more idiotic. And the news? Well, Greg Puciato just announced over Twitter that he has 15 songs no one else but Max has. I have no idea if the songs are finished or not, seems a bit too fast. Then again, it’s not like it takes any time to make them.
