What do you get if you cross a transvestite, a disease, and extreme horror?
… The answer my friends, is no, not Lady Gaga, but in fact a brand new extreme Metal band Temple of the Black Moon. According to Blabbermouth, members of Cradle of Filth, Anthrax, and Gorgoroth have joined forces to create this new super group.
Temple of the Black Moon comprise of Dani Filth (CoF), Rob Caggiano (Anthrax), King (ex Gorgoroth) and John Tempesta (formally of White Zombie – and I totally should have slipped a zombie in that title now I think about it). An album release and subsequent live dates are expected to happen around mid-2012, which also coincides with the supposed end of the world. Coincidence?
Saturday morning headlines!
Soundgarden have released tour dates for their upcoming North American tour. I grew up with Soundgarden so seeing them live is a no-brainer. However, my big complaint is Coheed and Cambria opening at the show i’m attending, while The Mars Volta, Mastodon and Queens Of The Stone Age will be at other shows of the tour. Lame. More information can be found here.
The trailer for The Big Four show at Yankee Stadium (pictured above) has been posted online and you can view it here. It was pretty cool, but the “Four of the heaviest bands of all time” slogan made me roll on the floor laughing my ass off (what can I say, I’m more of an metal elitist than everyone at Metal Archives).
Melodic death metal act Arch Enemy have uploaded a new song titled ‘Blood Stained Cross’, which is from their upcoming new album Khaos Legions. You can listen to the song here. Oops. Sorry, I meant here.
Mötley Crüe bassiest Nikki Sixx recently told about.com “I think our best record is still in us.” — I like Nikki, I really do. I think he’s a pretty cool guy. But after reading that, I have a feeling he is back on the heroin for that interview and thinking it’s 1983.
New American Big Four date
The rumors were confirmed. The Big Four are coming to the East Coast, yo. And not just any venue, but the Yankee Stadium in NYC.
“Enter New York . . . that’s right, The Big Four of Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, and ‘Tallica will be in the new version of the famed Yankee Stadium on September 14, 2011! We can’t wait for a night in the Bronx as our second American show and for those of you who love fun facts, this will also be the second live music event hosted at the new ballpark.
ALL seats are reserved for this show and tickets go on sale Friday, May 6 at 10:00 AM via TicketMaster. MetClub members should log in for more information about a special pre-sale starting on Wednesday, May 4. Yankees season ticket holders will have their own pre-sale, also on May 4, starting at noon.“

<insert stereotypical big four joke here>
Don’t really have anything humorous to say, really. Like I said before, if you can make it, go!

I have the attention span of a frog on LSD so if you listen to the full thing, please let me know what they talk about.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, speaking of these guys… Watch the Californian performance ‘Am I Evil’ as filmed by someone from Scott Ian’s entourage or something… After the jump.
Guess what? Anthrax have a new album coming out
It’s called Worship Music, and it’s been in the making for, like, what now? 5 years? Well, don’t expect to hear it anytime soon, because we’ve just been treated by a clip by Scott Ian, and it’s super cool — 28 seconds of some riff he’s been working on, and it’s more of a promotion for some new amp, then the actual album.
But it might come rather sooner than later actually, because recently it’s all they’ve been talking about, in an interview for Rolling Stone they say they’re as tight as ever (which means never), and in another one Charlie Benante says it’s the most emotional one they’ve ever done. I guess the main emotion being confusion. You know, because of the singer(s). O yeah.
