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.

When trying to look cool goes wrong

I’ve seen Judas Priest live twice, so I always wondered if his bike ever malfunctioned, or if it just embarrassed him in any way during his ‘oh, look at me! I’m a biker!’ moment on stage.

Guess my question has been answered with a video.

Check the video above and laugh your ass off. I don’t think he got hurt (didn’t check, I really don’t want to play paramedic with him, if you know what I mean), so you can sleep tonight after laughing at another man’s misfortune.

The fall is at around 0:22, by the way.

The chosen few choose the chosen few

Metal legends, Judas Priest have yet another compilation album coming out later this year, with it being scheduled for release on October 11.

The collection, titled The Chosen Few, will have a selection of songs chosen by a number of established artists, including Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Corey Taylor.

“This is a collection of songs chosen by our friends and respected peers,” Rob Halford tells RollingStone.com. “So we hope all the metal maniacs out there will rock out to the tunes enjoyed by metal legends.”

Yes, you’re right Rob, I will buy the same songs for what is now probably the hundredth time, because Corey Taylor’s name has been slapped in my face. Thank you.

As I Lay Dying celebrate anniversary in style

And when I say “style”, I mean no style what so ever.

The hugely successful As I Lay Dying will soon be reaching their tenth anniversary on the scene, and to celebrate their accomplishments and give something back to the fans who have supported them, As I Lay Dying will be releasing a special album, titled Decas (I think that’s probably Latin for ten, but have no idea since I can’t read).

The album will contain three brand new tracks (cool enough), four cover songs (meh), and five remixes (yuck!). Decas will be out November 8 in North America, and will include covers of Judas Priest and Slayer. The full tracklisting can be found after the jump, along with a picture of a cat for no particular reason.*

Friday Top 26: Heavy Metal Alphabet

We’ve done so many Top 10’s already, but this time we’ve decided to top it all with a Top 26. 26? There was something with 26, right? You got it! The Latin alphabet, that is used in most countries on this planet, has 26 letters.

So what are we going to do with these 26 letters? Well, every band has a bandname, and every bandname consists of letters. Can you follow me so far? We’re going to list the best band for each letter of the Latin alphabet (including their best song and album).

Ain’t that cool, now? It sure is. Make the jump for 26 letters and 26 ear-shattering Metal bands!
