Turnbull Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Carcass + Ghost B.C. Members Provide Their Takes on BabyMetal by Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann August 14, 2014 10:44 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Facebook: BabyMetalJapanese pop metal phenoms BabyMetal have become the most polarizing act of 2014. While many embrace the experimental and deathly sweet band, others see nothing but a gimmick lacking all substance. However, three of metal’s most celebrated musicians just gave BabyMetal their stamp of approval. At this year’s Sonisphere Festival, BabyMetal were one of the event’s major talking points. Would the act deliver a sensational, crowd-pleasing performance? Or would rock and metal fans give them the Reading / Leeds Festival bottling treatment? As documented by many news outlets, BabyMetal were a hit, pleasing festival fans and even Carcass frontman Jeff Walker. “My highlight [from Sonisphere] was getting my picture taken with BabyMetal,” Walker tells Nuclear Blast. “I’m starting to warm to the idea of what they’re doing. It’s actually fun, you know — like Ghost, to be honest. Some people get very reactionary about a band like Ghost or BabyMetal. It puts a smile on people’s faces. That’s what music’s about, isn’t it?! Enjoying it and not being so serious.” Carcass guitarist Bill Steer adds, “I mean, obviously, we don’t cover this ourselves, but the fun, entertainment angle [in music], it is important.” One of Ghost B.C.‘s nameless ghouls also praised BabyMetal in a recent interview. “I actually stood on side stage when [babyMetal] went on and I watched the chaos and the weirdness that surrounded them. They obviously attract so much attention wherever they go, and for a reason, of course — they are bizarre in many ways. I mean, we obviously like bizarre, so they are obviously doing something right. But, yeah, I mean, J-pop [Japanese pop] is always gonna be very weird. The ghoul continues, “They seem to be a cool band, I guess. I’ve seen their ‘Gimme Chocolate!’ video, and I don’t really know what to say about it. Someone really knows what they’re doing behind it, but I’m not sure if [the girls] themselves know what they’re doing. Read More: Carcass + Ghost B.C.

Turnbull Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 METALLICA is Officially In The Guinness Book Of World Records Posted by Greg Kennelty on September 4, 2014 at 11:15 am Metallica made history! Or made history again, depending on what your view of history is and how it pertains to metal music. So how'd they manage to etch their name in time via the Guinness Book of World Records? They did so by playing all seven continents in one year, a feat that has never been accomplished by any band before. Yeah, including Antarctica. Remember how crazy that was? If you don't, here's some video. Here's what the band had to say about the ordeal. "Last year as we hit the road, like we do most years, visiting a lot of our favorite places along with some new ones, we didn't realize that we were on track to break a world record! Good thing someone else was paying attention as we managed to play on all seven continents in one year, becoming the first and only band to ever do so!. Our friends at Guinness World Records took notice bestowing on us the distinct honor of being featured in their official book hitting stores September 10th. "In addition to performing live in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa, the year was capped off with a visit to Antarctica on December 8, 2013 to play for 120 scientists, contest winners and their penguin friends at the Argentine Carlini Station. We were literally at the bottom of the earth for one of the most unique, special and unforgettable days in our 30+ years as a band and low and behold, our little adventure sealed the deal for the record! Who woulda thought…" Granted, the band recognized their feat at the end of 2013 when they did it, but now they're being officially recognized in doing so, as seen in the photo above. You can grab the 2015 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records on Amazon.com for $18. Awesome! Next up, let's see if we can get Ozzy in there for eating a whole slew of bats or something.

Turnbull Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zz2bUf3rOs Passionate advocates of the true spirit of death metal, Bloodbath have appeared in various incarnations over the years, with Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt and Hypocrisy's Peter Tagtgren performing vocal duties at various points along the band's gore-drenched career path. In 2014 it is Paradise Lost frontman Nick Holmes that has stepped up to the mic, reviving his legendary unearthly growls for new album Grand Morbid Funeral, which sees the grim revivalists dragging their sound ever further back into extremity's filthy shadows. The first song to be released from Bloodbath's repulsive new opus, Unite In Pain is a masterclass in feral riffing, unholy howls and exhilarating, abyssal heaviness. Play it loud and may God have mercy on your festering soul. Edited October 7, 2014 by Turnbull Link to comment
Turnbull Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) The year 2014 has been a pretty good one for bands from the American South. Eyehategod, Mastodon, Crowbar, Down and a few others immediately come to mind. You can add Corrosion of Conformity and their latest album ‘IX’ to the list.As you probably deduced, it’s the North Carolina band’s ninth studio album, and their second consecutive effort as a trio. Pepper Keenan (Down) once again sat this one out. Founding members Mike Dean (vocals, bass), Woody Weatherman (guitar) and Reed Mullin (drums) hold down the fort.Corrosion of Conformity’s sound has evolved over the years from punk to crossover thrash to sludge/Southern metal. ‘IX’ is thick with sludge, as evidenced in the opening track “Brand New Sleep” that takes its time getting up to speed, but by the time the six minute opus is done, they are primed and ready to go.The second track ‘Elphyn’ takes the opposite approach, beginning with a bang and then easing back into a mid-tempo groove. Tempo changes abound throughout the album, as do bluesy riffs and sultry solos from Weatherman.And while the album’s sound is mostly of the down-tuned variety, CoC bring back some elements of their past. The two minute ‘Denmark Vesey’ has a punk attitude and a chorus that begins ‘Kill, kill kill.’ You’ll hear remnants of their crossover days on ‘The Nectar’ and ‘Tarquinius Superbus,’ mixed in with their current style.The album’s production is full with plenty of low end, showcasing the thick riffs and potent rhythm section. There’s plenty of oomph without sounding overly muddy. Clocking in at just over 42 minutes, the band delivers the goods and doesn’t overstay their welcome.Corrosion of Conformity have released some outstanding albums over the years, from ‘Animosity’ in the ‘80s to ‘Wiseblood’ in the ‘90s to ‘In The Arms of God’ in the ‘00s. ‘IX’ is their best of the ‘10s so far, a step above their 2012 self-titled album as they seem more comfortable now as a trio.Read More: Corrosion of Conformity, 'IX' - Album Review | http://loudwire.com/corrosion-of-conformity-ix-album-review/?trackback=tsmclip Edited October 16, 2014 by Turnbull Link to comment
Willow Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Finally Free, live, sa ovogodišnje turneje. Mrak stvar. Pa kad na 6:49 krene onaj tuš u kome bend i hor zapevaju prateće na refrenu - vau, da se smrzneš... Jedan (mali) minus je Labri (vačpe), njegova bakutanerska pojava i njegovo nja-nja pevanje. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcnhNDmGcRo Edited October 22, 2014 by Willow Link to comment
