Dimmu Borgir who? Korn aren't sure.
Dimmu Borgir may not be a REAL Metal band, but they’re still a REAL band. Well, by real, I mean not make-believe, not that they’re actually any good. Still, you’d think touring with them, Korn would know who they are… Erm well apparently not, as can be seen in the interview with Fieldy after the jump (skip to 6 minutes).
“What do you think about Dimmu ‘Borgir’ and their music?”
“Of who?”
“Dimmu Borgir – the band you’re touring with”
“Oh… I don’t really know…”
Atreyu are livin’ on the edge
Atreyu have a released a new song, a cover of Aerosmith’s 1993 smash hit “Livin’ On The Edge“. It will also be featured on their upcoming EP, an EP full of cover songs.
If you want to hear it, you have to first “like” Atreyu on Facebook. Is it actually worth it to “like” Atreyu, just to hear this song? Embarrassing if you ask me.
Click here if you’re actually interested in wasting your time with this song and having close friends/family laugh at your taste in music.
Flyleaf aren't Metal?
To be honest, I have taste, so I never bothered to check out Flyleaf (mostly because their name sucks), but apparently they aren’t Metal at all. How do I know? Because I just found out that not only are they fronted by a woman! (why isn’t she in the kitchen!?), but they’re also a Christian band! Jesus Christ! God almighty Science! what is wrong with Metal today?
Frontwoman Lacey Sturm also moans that no radio stations want to play female-fronted Metal/Rock bands. Wow, that’s funny, because I could have sworn I’ve heard Evanescence, Nightwish, Within Temptation and all those other female-fronted bands that sound exactly the same, on the radio. In fact, I was so sure that female-fronted gothic rock bands were all the rage! Damn, I guess I was wrong, because obviously it’s really tough for Lacey and Flyleaf… Selling all those albums, playing festivals across the world… being interviewed… I must have dreamt those things happened. Of course, if Flyleaf really do struggle to get played on the radio, I’m sure it is because they’re fronted by a woman, and has nothing to do with their bland and boring music…

BMTH bring the noise
Fashioncore band, Bring Me The Horizon, were recently interviewed by Bring The Noise, which sounds like a match made in heaven, since the only thing BMTH bring, is noise (pollution). Ha, I crack myself up…
Apparently my idol Rob Halford likes BMTH, but then he also likes men, so to each their own I guess. Check out the interview after the jump.
Lordi drummer unmasked = No more Lordi drummer
Lordi drummer Kita (Sampsa Astala) chose to unmasked herhimself for her his side project Stala So.. The rest of Lordi seemingly don’t want people to know that Lordi consists of real human beings so Kita got the kick.
In my opinion, Sampsa Astala (what a shit name) could easily still be part of Lordi, masked or unmasked. Make what you want of that statement. Picture after the jump. I’m tempted to put a NSFW warning here but there’s no nudity in there, just ugliness.
