Guns N’ Roses to be inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will probably be late
Extremely long post title, but I simply had to. Burn.
Regarding the news, it’s been made official, Guns N’ Roses are amongst the acts to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14, 2012. There’s still speculation as to which band will actually be there for the ceremony. Steven Adler is at the edge of his seat right now.

Soulfly’s new album title has shocked me
I’ve made plenty of jokes regarding Soulfly and Max Cavalera’s rather limited writing abilities, and guess what, I’m gonna keep doing it. Why? Because I can hide behind my computer screen, and pen is mightier than Max Cavalera’s fist. Or his rather limited writing abilities.
The news today is that the band have a new album coming out, and it’s titled Enslaved. The track list is as follows:
- Resistance
- World Scum
- Intervention
- Gladiator
- Legions
- American Steel
- Redemption Of Man By God
- Treachery
- Plata O Plomo
- Revengeance
- Chains
- Slave
- Bastards
- Soulfly VIII
Looking at it, I can only think Max saw that episode of South Park where they make fun of Family Guy and say it’s written by manatees, and took it way too seriously.
The most interesting news, though, is in the lineup department. Tony Campos is taking up the bass player’s position, while marking another change in a quite surprisingly long and stable Soulfly lineup is the departure of drummer Joe Nunez, and his replacement with David Kinkade.
The album is coming out March 13, 2012.
Severed Fifth want to Liberate you
Hey-oh, remember Severed Fifth? Jono was the first guy I got to interview, so they hold a precious place in my little black heart.
The band are preparing to release an all new album titled Liberate on January 16. Why should you care? Because it will be free, Creative Commons licensed and all. YAY, FREE STUFF!
Not only free, though. I highly recommend you listen to the preview track above (Fallout) and the one after the jump (End of Days), especially if you’ve stumbled upon their last year’s album. Production value is way, way higher, the fact that they’re a full band now probably also helps, and Jono further evolved his vocals. So if you’re a fan of Bay Area thrash with a touch of British heavy metal, check it out.
Getting into: Malevolent Creation – Day 1
Malevolent Creation – Between Majesty and Manowar
Malevolent Creation’s album Retribution made it into my iTunes. Due to its spelling, it has been placed between Majesty’s Hellforces and Manowar’s Battle Hymns. When you keep their respective styles in mind, this is a very odd placement. Some of you might be wondering why I’ve even got Majesty and Manowar on my computer. I simply love all kinds of metal. That’s the best explanation I can give you.
So on this first day of getting into Malevolent Creation, I’ve listened to the entire album twice so far. I must admit that during the second time I didn’t pay too much attention, but I kept listening to it in the background while checking my Xbox 360 for the announced update.
So far I’ve really enjoyed most of what I’ve heard, especially ‘Slaughter Of Innocence,’ a brutal but groovy song, with a killer breakdown. “DIE MOTHERFUCKER!” indeed. I can only say good things about the album so far and I’m kind of curious as to what the next couple of days will bring. Am I going to get sick of it fast? Am I going to listen more and more, slowly falling in love with it? I can’t really tell just now, but you’ll know more about it tomorrow when I’m posting the next part of Getting into Malevolent Creation.

Guns N’ Roses play ‘Civil War’ live for the first time since the 90s
They haven’t played this song live since 1993. In other interesting news, I shaved my testicles this morning, and noticed my ball hair grows unevenly.
