Chimaira know Charlie Sheen is a winner
Charlie Sheen is bad ass. Fact. He has an awesome life. You ask what’s so awesome about his life? Well, he has been in some quality movies, had has a popular TV show on CBS , does cocaine on a daily basis, lives with and bangs 2 hot blondes and gets found drunk in hotels with hookers. How can you not admire someone like this? Fantastic life!
Obviously there are people out there disgusted by him, but 5 guys from Cleveland have his back. Chimaira has uploaded a cover of The Troggs’ successful single “Wild Thing,” as a tribute to him.
When asked for comment, Charlie said ” Chimaria? Never heard of that drug.”

Ba(da)ss clinic and Young cover
As we mentioned earlier, our good friend David Ellefson and Frank Bello did some bass clinics together. Now you can see some footage of it, including one of David performing…
Ain’t that sweet? Of course it is. Make the jump to see the videos.
In other (sort of) Megadeth related news, former guitarist Jeff Young’s band, Souls On 11, recorded a Thin Lizzy cover in memory of the late Gary Moore. The song is “Don’t Believe a Word” and you can listen to it after the jump, also.
Dragonforce finally get a singer
Remember 4 years ago when Dragonforce were popular? I mean, they weren’t selling millions or anything, but you couldn’t help hearing the name Dragonforce everywhere. A big part of their popularity was due to the hugely successful Guitar Hero 3 game (or maybe it was Guitar Hero 4, meh can’t be bothered looking that up).
They released their most recent studio album in 2008, Ultra Beatdown, and it seemed like no one cared about them anymore (except me). Things didn’t get any better in 2010, they lost their singer Zp Theart in because of “insurmountable differences.”
Flash forward to exactly a year later since Zp Theart left the band and now it looks like Dragonforce have found their front man, who happens to sounds pretty damn good. His name is Marc Hudson, he’s 23 years old, he’s from England and he has surprisingly good teeth.
If you’re interested seeing what he has to say since joining the band, a video of him recording a song and comments from the best guitar player in world because he plays so fast Herman Li, then click here.
Nergal makes first public appearance
Some brilliant news in Metal today. Metal Hammer reports that Nergal of Behemoth has made his first public appearance since his leukaemia scare. As we previously reported, the Behemoth frontman underwent a bone marrow transplant, and it seems Nergal is doing well since then.
He was seen this past Monday, February 28 at the Musicollective music school in Poland, and pictures can be found over at Facebook.
We at Dose of Metal all wish Nergal the best of luck.
Devildriver Beast their way into US top 50
Devildriver, my favorite Christian Metal band (because they drive devils, duh), have managed to crack the US top 50 this week, with their brand new album, Beast.
Beast is an absolute beast of an album, and has sold 11,000 copies in the US in its first week, getting to number 42 in the charts. That may not seem a lot, but I guess it is in this day and age, especially for a Metal band that isn’t Metallica, Slipknot or Iron Maiden. More information on the album can be found here.
Now if you excuse me, I’m off to unwrap my 11,000 copies of Devildriver‘s new album.
