Zakk Wylde isn’t illiterate
No really, he isn’t. Not like I ever claimed that he is but hey, just setting the record straight here. The guy looks like a viking-gone-biker (I won’t call him a redneck, nope) but he knows how to handle a pen just as good as his guitar. Or a laptop. Or whatever.
So after this disastrous intro, you still don’t know what this article is about, right? Right. That was the plan. I wanted to see how far I can stretch this without saying anything basically and you’re still reading so I guess, I win.
Oh yeah, the news… Zakk Wylde is writing a book. Seriously. It’ll be called ‘Bringing Metal to the Children’. Read the press release more here. At least they know how to cut to the cheese. I don’t. I’m lactose intolerant.
Cult of Luna writing new album
It’s been 2 and a half years since Cult of Luna released their latest album ‘Eternal Kingdom’ and 2011 seems to be the year for a new album.
A couple of days ago (you know, last year) Cult of Luna uploaded the first in a series of webisodes that capture the writing process of said album. Check out this first webisode after the jump.
On another note, is it just me or does the word “webisode” sound just dumb?
Poland has taste
Around the world, you hear stories of artists like Take That, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Kanye West (ugh it’s enough to make me vomit) winning awards, but it seems things are a little different in Poland.
It’s been announced that Blackened Death Metallers, Behemoth have been named “artist of the year” by the readers of one of the biggest Polish portals, Onet.pl. Ok, so awards are generally utter rubbish, but it’s good to see extreme Metal getting some recognition.
Read the full story here.
Lordi reveal Gwar’s secret…
Lordi, Gwar, what’s the difference? Fuck knows. More to the point, who cares? Both suck, right?
Regardless, in a recent interview, the Lordi frontman, whoever or whatever that is, discussed the differences between the two bands. The man in a costume went on to say that both are rock bands dressed up as monsters, but that Gwar aren’t quite so serious.
Mr Lordi then finished by revealing Gwar‘s dark secret… That actually, despite claiming they’re aliens, they too are just humans in costumes. Wow, well thankyou for pointing out the obvious.
In other news, the Gwar frontman recently stated that Michael Jackson was an alien. Well thank you too for pointing out the obvious.
Ozzy makes people drive drunk
Look at that guy. The Prince of fucking Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. He sure seems like an unpleasent fella, right? Right. Ozzy is so evil that he makes people drive when they’re drunk… through his music! He doesn’t even need to know you, nor talk to you directly, he will make you drive drunk. Just like that.
At least, that’s what 33-year-old William Liston thinks. After being stopped by the police for drunk driving, he claimed it was Ozzy Osbourne’s music that made him drive, “Ozzy Osbourne and his music made me do it”. Suuure.
I wonder what Osbourne will be charged with, ‘Using telepathy via his albums to brainwash innocent people into driving under the influence’? Even the Prince of Darkness can’t do that. Axl Rose can though. Pshh.
