Replacing Weiland is tricky
I once on the toilet one day and I took a pretty slimy dump. You know the type, the one that feels like peanut butter and jelly. I’m almost done and I notice there’s no more toilet paper left. I was faced with a pretty shady decision: should I jump in the shower like this and clean it up? I said… Yes… So I jumped in the shower and I noticed I left a trail of shit drops on my way to it, kind of like a feces version of Hansel and Gretel.
But I think, right, at least now I get cleaned up. Only the shower wasn’t working, and then I realized I had received a note a day prior about water being shut off for a few hours. So I thought to myself… I’m royally fucked.
Then I remembered I had both Mentos and a few bottles of Diet Coke. Pheeew.
“Trying to find the right guy for this thing is a lot more complicated than one would probably think. So we will keep on toiling away it until we hit that magic and when that happens then everything will start rolling“ said Slash about auditioning new singers.

So yeah, from now on I check my toilet paper supply thoroughly before doing the deed. At the very least, I check the fridge for Diet Coke. God bless the internet.
Virgin Steele are back
If you like your metal cheesy and sounding like Manowar, then check out “Black Light Bacchanalia“, studio album number 12 from Virgin Steele. I’m on the first track so far and it’s sounding pretty solid. Virgin Steele probably won’t sell much, so make sure you buy this if you actually enjoy it.

The Haunted man speaks
Peter Dolving, frontman of The Haunted, has spoken recently about their forthcoming 11th studio album (scheduled for an early 2011 release), describing it as “awesome.” Well, they’re hardly going to describe it as crap are they? Or slightly above average? Congrats on being the 2,054,129th band to describe your latest album as being awesome.
Snide remarks aside though, I am rather looking forward to this release. If you are too, read more over at Blabbermouth.
Nergal is doing a lot better
Great news! Looks like Behemoth front man/guitarist Adam “Nergal” Darski has found a bone marrow donor that is a genetic match. He still has a long way to go, but good news so far. We at Dose Of Metal wish him all the best!

Gojira hit the studio for a new EP
Gojira are currently in the studio, with producer Logan Mader (former Machine Head guitarist), recording a four-song EP, the proceeds from which will benefit Sea Shepherd, an anti-whaling organization.
Frontman Joe Duplantier said the following in an interview earlier this year;
“We’ll record and produce [four] songs that [we] will sell on our web site without going through traditional ways. The benefits of sales will be donated to Sea Shepherd. There will be guests from the international metal scene [on the record].”
Make the jump to see a couple of pictures from the studio, including some stupid captions from myself.
