Meshuggah lyric video is lazy

Our writer Mark hates lyric videos. He hated Revoker‘s latest clip, and that actually features some footage and some kinetic text, so there has been some work involved.

I can’t wait to see his face when he sees Meshuggah‘s new video. I mean, it’s not even animated, it’s like a slideshow of lyrics. At this point, why not do the white-on-blue thing with Movie Maker and be done with it?

Lay-zee.

Robb brags about his fans and their MH tattoos

Robb Flynn thinks his fans kick ass. I agree. It takes a truly dedicated fanbase to forget that their favorite metal band turned nu-metal at some point. It’s like finding out your girlfriend’s been in 10 gangbang DVDs behind your back and then forgiving her.

So yeah, Machine Head fans seem pretty loyal, I’d bounce at the first sight of a baseball cap. Anyway…

“We’re incredibly lucky to have a fan base that’s so passionate and so intense about our music. I mean, our fans live and breathe this stuff; it’s amazing. Every single day on this tour, I’ve signed kids that have our lyrics tattooed on their arm or the Machine Head logos and then they want to get our autographs“

The first kid to bring Limp Bizkit‘s Significant Other album for Robb to sign gets a $10 gift certificate on Amazon from me. I’ll throw in another $10 if you bring a LB tattoo, point to it and say to him “THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU LOL!!111”

A lot of bands played at Soundwave in Australia, which means Australian reporters got the chance to interview a few big names.

But also small names, hence the Dillinger Escape Plan interview above.

Good day, mate. The dingo ate yo’ baby.

Interview: Jed Simon (Zimmers Hole, ex-Strapping Young Lad)

Jed Simon is perhaps best known as the guitarist of Strapping Young Lad, but Jed is also active in Zimmers Hole and American Blood Cult and used to play with Tenet, Front Line Assembly and City Of Fire. With a resume like that, Jed has cemented his place in the olymp of heavy fucking metal.

When you’ve played with so many great bands, there is only one thing left to do… do an interview with Dose of Metal. That will certainly earn you a ‘Greatest human being… for a day’ award.

There’s not much else to say, but click ‘continue reading’ to read Dose of Metal’s interview with Jed fucking Simon.

Maybe Trivium’s new album will be heavier

According to a recent interview, Trivium‘s new album will be heavier. What, don’t believe me? Check out what Paolo Gregoletto said:

“I think it’s going to be heavier. “

Told ya. They’ll probably attach a brick to it, or something.

When asked why he’s named after an Italian kiosk, Paolo had no comment.
