Very Metal Friday Night Update: New Queens Of The Stonge Age, Metal Meth Maker Gets Busted, And Wicked Wizard Rock


Queens of the Stone Age, I Appear Missing. A very troubling, animated video.

Happy Friday fellow headbangers! I’m still reeling after seeing Kvelertak and Black Tusk last weekend. In a world filled with mediocre metal, it was a real shot to the ears to see two bands this good on the same bill. A word to the wise, DO NOT miss this tour when it blows through your town.

Speaking of good metal for your ears, check out my latest new release recommendations over at Purple Dog Records music blog, Curious Tracks. I also had the pleasure of being a guest on the MAG Down Under Variety Hour podcast. Look for the 90 minute episode here, this weekend.

Now, here’s all the metal things that happened this week…

Bret Michaels says he loves animals. But I don’t believe him.

Listen to the new White Wizzard track, Kings of the Highway.

Speaking of Wizards, here’s the new video for Wizards of War from San Fransisco doom rockers, Orchid.

Tad Doyle, Aaron Edge, and Mike Scheidt from YOB teamed up to form LUMBAR

Alcohol caused Jeff Hanneman’s death.

Yikes!

Speaking of Yikes!, here’s the new Anvil single, Badass Rock and Roll.

In other Yikes! news, Allen West (Obituary, Six Feet Under, and Massacre), pulled a Walter White. Except he got caught.

Dave Mustaine and Kenny G are BFF’s. Which never would have made sense in 1985, but totally makes sense now.

Courtney Love is going solo.

Beer + Aliens = the new trailer for the awesome looking flick, The Worlds End.

43 Seconds Of Black Metal Dudes On Loiter Squad

This short clip from Tyler the Creator’s Adult Swim show, Loiter Squad, had me at black metal guys handing out balloons.

UK Band Sabazius To Relase 11 Hour Song

Screen Shot 2013-01-28 at 12.21.44 PM

According to The Gauntlet, Sabazius, a doom band that describes their sound as “Electric Wizard on valium”, will be releasing an eleven hour song called “The Descent Of Man“, in the coming weeks via Earache Records. The one song is longer than Sabazius’ entire discography.

The band posted a blow-by-blow review by Kim Kelly of Terrorizer Magazine on their Facebook page. Below are Kelly’s Twitter comments during his 11 hour doom-y Sabazius odyssey…

‘This shit makes Wormphlegm look like Nicki Minaj.’

‘Sabazius…the drone/doom band from hell.’ ’5:26:00.

Okay, I get it, You like feedback. You like Sunn 0))) and Burning Witch and Swans and I DO NOT LIKE YOU ANYMORE.’

‘Downstroke-downstroke-cymbal crash. Over and over. THAT’S NOT A SONG YOU DICKS.’

‘I’m so close to the end now that literally nothing could inspire any sort of energy or criticism. They are still playing that fucking riff.’

Well, I’ve heard of taking one for the team, but Kim Kelly really went above and beyond the responsibilities of every heavy metal media representative, on planet Earth. The End.

Everything Is Better With Corpse Paint! Bargin Bin Blasphemy Makes Bad Records Evil


Bargin Bin Blasphemy proves that just like Immortal, everything is better with corpse paint.

My new favorite Tumblr, Bargin Bin Blasphemy, has come up with the genius idea of taking old records, tricking the covers black metal style. Because just like Immortal, everything is better with corpse paint. And since it’s the holidays, I thought I’d share some of Bargin Bin’s “Christmas” themed creations.

In other very metal news, the black mass witches behind Bargin Bin Blasphemy say that they will be making their one-of-a-kind creations available for purchase soon. Bargin Bin is brand new to the world of Tumblr, and I for one can’t wait to see what else they come up with. So stay tuned, and have a grim and necro yule.

One Man Metal Documentary Shines Light On Reclusive Black Metal Fringe Artists


One Man Metal. A three part series documenting the artists that live on very fringe of Black Metal music.

“There’s a certain fucking honesty in the picked on loner, screaming his fucking head off, playing powerful guitar.”

One man Black Metal band, Levithan (aka, Jef Whitehead)

The very metal music side of Vice, Noisey, has taken on the job of uncovering three Black Metal artists that are so off the radar, many of them have never been seen one film, until now.

In the three part documentary series, “One Man Metal“, Noisey interviewed artists that they believe represent the ethos of Black Metal: isolation, anger, and dark music played loud and fast. The doc, shot in black and white, focuses in on one man Black Metal bands, Leviathan (San Fransisco), Striborg (Tazmania), and Xasthur (Alahambra, CA). Musicians and men who live on the very edge of the Black Metal scene.

The first two installments are out now. And after watching them today in the midst of the rain and gloom of Seattle, I’ve been completely sucked in, and can’t wait for part three, due out in the coming weeks.

Black Metal Man! The First ‘Black Metal’ Video Game Now Available For The iPhone


Black Metal Man. The most metal game ever.

It took me about 30 seconds to decide to download this new game for the iPhone and iPad, Black Metal Man. For fear of sounding ‘un-metal’, I do love how it looks on the iPad, as well as how instantly addicting it was. I’m pretty much a pinball girl when it comes to games, but Black Metal Man has changed that. Besides, is there anything more metal than a shirtless dude in corpse paint running through the Norwegian forest, who is periodically decapitated if he slips? I say no. And I’m only scratching the surface of the gross out fun that is to be had with Black Metal Man. Word.

Check out the preview below and prepare to become, Black Metal Man!

*Holiday Programming Note: Just a quick note to let you all know that my annual trip to the east coast kicks off on Sunday, so posts will be slower than usual. I’ll also be hitting Atlanta for a few days and will be running the Peachtree Roadrace 10K on July 4th. Weather reports are saying that it’s going to hit 106* today, and tomorrow in Atlanta, so your “please don’t die Cherrybomb” wishes, are welcome. Because, I really don’t wanna die, but if I’m not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on. Because only metal matters. Have a happy and safe 4th!
