Judas Priest press conference footage

Ever wondered what a press conference with Judas Priest would be like? Fuck, it’s like the band just read your mind, because guess what the video above contains? That’s right, it’s the 31 minute long question-and-answer session (courtesy of Pandemonium TV) in Costa Rica celebrating the band’s first time in the country.

Raise you devil horns to the Metal Gods! Well, unless other people are around, otherwise you might look just a little bit weird.

Machine vinyl Head

Machine Head fans and people above the age of 45 (AKA vinyl fans) will be excited to hear that the November issue of the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine will come loaded with a special 10-inch vinyl EP.

The EP contains brand new track ‘Locust’ taken from the phenomenal new album Unto the Locust (read our review here), as well as live recordings of ‘Beautiful Mourning’ and ‘Bite The Bullet’.

The magazine is out October 19 and will celebrate Metal Hammer’s 25th anniversary. Make sure you pick it up if you own a record player and love Machine Head (side note – if you don’t love Machine Head, please consider yourself nolonger a friend of mine. Thanks).

Fuck a MP3.

What’s worse than a festival with Limp Bizkit and Staind?

I know, a festival that also has Papa Roach, P.O.D, Puddle of Mudd, and… wait for it… Asking Alexandria! Holy shit, it’s like the 90’s and their metalcore bastard child decided to indulge in an orgy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were there as well… If you got the Orgy joke, you get 5 points taken from your metal achievements scale.

I have no idea who came up with this brilliant joke fest, but I’m disappointed that they didn’t gas the place or something. I mean come on. Noisecreep has a review that sounds like it was written by a 13 year old girl who had a huge crush on Fred Durst back when she was young and stupid enough to be listening to nu metal, and you can read it here.

To close this pathetic article, I have a hypothetical: If I have a penis, but no one has seen it, does it exist? Having a sort of crisis here, would appreciate a word of comfort. I mean, my life’s already come down to writing about Staind on weekly basis, which is just one step above being in Staind.

Want to write for us?

Hey guys. We kept getting emails from people asking if they could write for us, so fuck it, we’ll make it official: We are looking for new writers!

If you have a sense of humor and can write a coherent article, feel free to contact us. Our site is mainly a fun project between friends, so this isn’t like a seriously big business decision, we’re just some guys who like metal and spend time writing about it — if you can relate, join us!

Here’s what you need to know:

– This is not a paid job, at least not yet.
– You need to have a good grasp of the English language.
– You’ll have to give us a sample of your writing. If you don’t have any articles online, simply write something short for us.
– Since this is not a proper job, we don’t work with deadlines or quotas, but we will expect you to write on a regular basis.

If you’re cool with that, use the form below:

Coal Chamber reforms, World asks why?

The once semi-popular 90’s Nu-Metal act, Coal Chamber (known for being Dez of Devildriver fame’s previous band), have reportedly reformed and will be performing Australia’s 2012 Soundwave festival. Presumably, Australia are 15 years behind and are just catching up to the Nu-Metal phase.

If I remember rightly, Coal Chamber had one redeeming factor in a certain red-headed bassist, but unfortunately, according to Blabbermouth, Nadja Peulen will not be part of the 2012 lineup 🙁

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to listen to some more Devildriver…
