Overkill are back and electric

Thrashers Overkill have a new album coming out. Should you care? I don’t know, I’m not your mother. And even if I was, I’d probably be like my own mother and still not care.

:'(

Regarding the album, it’s called The Electric Age and it’s due out on March 27 (North America) and March 30 (Europe). The name suggest they’ve updated their sound, who knows, maybe even introduced some dubstep to get the tween audience to attend their shows, but the singer’s hairdo tells us something completely opposite.

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!

17 years ago seems so far away

17 years ago, Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 charts. Currently on #1 on said charts is Adele and I have absolutely no idea who that is but I think it’s safe to say, they (or she?) aren’t metal (it’s worth noticing that the Foo Fighters are on #2 and I absolutely view that as a great thing).

17 years ago, even Kurt Cobain was blown away by the sheer amount of quality metal albums that were released that year. In the year of 1994, many great (and now legendary) albums were released. Make the jump to see the highlights of 1994.

Thrash ’til Death – Big Four times four, part 3

I feel like I’m repeating myself when I’m saying that I love Thrash Metal but it’s the honest to Satan’s truth.

This is the third edition of Thrash ’til Death, where I’m basically listing my favorite thrash bands. Four bands a time, each led by a genuine Big Four band, you should know the deal by now. Make the jump to read on.
