Exodus will open for Maiden
Thrash metal band Exodus will open for Airplane metal band Iron Maiden in Chile.
The concert is on April 10th of this year in Santiago, Chile.
In other news, my resolution for 2011 was to delete my browser history after viewing mature porn as it’s pretty embarrassing when you’re caught watching that by your grandma.
When asked why they post useless shit like this, Dose of Metal had no comment. They just cried.
The fallen heroes
Revolver‘s January issue has one of the greatest covers ever. It portrays some of metal’s biggest heroes, who sadly left this world a bit too early.
The drawing is by J.G. Jones and it depicts Ronnie James Dio, Peter Steele, Dimebag, Cliff Burton and Randy Rhoads amongst others.
You can buy the issue and a special Dimebag commemorative coin here. Full cover after the jump.
Portnoyful new album
Well, well, it seems like the tweet Petrucci posted about entering the studio was about 20 hours after Portnoy tweeted something himself.
“MP, Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Dave LaRue & Casey McPherson…we begin tomorrow! The musical potential is off the charts! Very exciting….” tweeted Portnoy with the enthusiasm of a child.

Could it be that Petrucci read it and felt the need to boast about his band as well? We’ll never know… Glad to see Portnoy found himself a band though. Details about this so-called ‘supergroup’ still unknown.
Portnoyless new album
Dream Theater have entered the studio and surprise surprise, Mike Portnoy still not allowed back.
“First day in studio and the dawn of a new era for DT. Can’t wait to get the music flowing” wrote Petrucci on his Twitter.

When asked if leaving Dream Theater for Avenged Sevenfold is a bit like cheating on Megan Fox with Susan Boyle, Mike Portnoy had no comment.
Powerwolf enter studio
Besides being the nickname I’ve given to my penis, I can safetly say that I’ve never heard of Powerwolf before. News is slow though, and I’m bored, so unfortunately I’ve been reduced to talking about my penis and reporting on bands called Powerwolf. And yes, I’ve already played with my Powerwolf three times today, so that’s no longer an option to cure my boredom.
According to Blabbermouth, the multinational Powerwolf have entered the studio to record the follow up to 2009’s Bible of the Beast. The new album is scheduled for release later this year, and will apparently, according to the band, be “100% Powerwolf“. As opposed to being 50% Powerwolf, 25% Lady Gaga and 25% Korn I assume.
