Metal up your ass, brother!
Pretend-fighter Hulk Hogan claims he could have been a pretend-member of Metallica -- get it? Cause except James and Lars, no one has a say in that band. Jeez, why do I have to explain all the jokes to you?
"I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler. I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days but it didn’t work out."
Visit the page we stole this from here.
This guy would have nailed the AJFA gig. Imagine pretending to do something, but not actually doing it... Not that hard for a pro wrestler, is it?
Red Fang also got a hold of some cameras
You might or might not remember Red Fang's last video for "Wires." I won't blame you if you don't, just take it easy with the drugs, brah.
Anyway, here's the new one. It's called "Hank is Dead," and it's as Red Fang-ish as it gets, meaning, there's a bunch of fat guys doing stuff. Just like Dose of Metal, awesome!
Let’s get high… Then watch the new Born of Osiris video!
Do it, watch the new Born of Osiris clip, Follow the Signs. I swear I haven't had anything, and I just saw it and I'm tripping balls.
The band plays progressive/technical death metal/metalcore/crabcore/corecore. Just one tip guys, next time hold your legs together, those crab moves don't make you hardcore, they make you look like Eastern European prostitutes.
Vote for Dusty Peterson!
First off, this isn't really a news post. It's a post which is supposed to support our friend Dusty Peterson. You know, the guy who did badass artworks for Bloodbath, Six Feet Under and Behold! The Monolith.
On Reign In Art, Dusty's artwork for above mentioned Behold! The Monolith's latest album Defender, Redeemist is up for the Album Of The Week poll. It was leading the poll for a long time, until Aborted asked their fans via Facebook to vote for their artwork of Global Flatline.
Now, since Team Aborted got to work to put Global Flatline on #1, I want you guys to support our friend Dusty and Behold! The Monolith by voting for Defender, Redeemist here. Team Dusty FTW!
Mark Reale passed away at 56
Riot's Founding guitarist Mark Reale has passed away at the age of 56, suffering complications of Crohn's disease. According to Blabbermouth, he was in a coma for the past two weeks, due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Horrible way to go for anyone. Dose of Metal sends their condolences to his family, friends and the band. R.I.P.
New Soulfly! Fly high!
New Soulfly song is out! War! Hate! Soul! Fly!
It's called World Scum (World! Scum! War! Hate!), you can download it by visiting this link and following the instructions on that page. It's coming on their new album Enslaved, which we've written about (twice!).
Now, about the song... If you're hoping for the Prophecy/Dark Ages, or, god forbid, the earlier nu-metalish tribal war Soulfly, you're in the wrong place. If, however, you liked the last two albums, you're in for a treat -- not only is this straightforward metal with a good touch of death (which is not a huge surprise when Cattle Decapitation singer is a guest vocalist on the track), it also sounds like the last two albums on crack and/or speed.
Good shit, and this is a lot coming from someone who uses every opportunity to poke fun at Max's mad lyrics writing skills. Lyr! Ics! Wri! Ting!
Megadeth go behind the scenes, yo
Music videos are almost a thing of the past. Do you remember the days when labels would invest millions into a single music video? Of course you don't, cause that was back in the early 20s.
So what is there to see when it comes to Megadeth's video? I don't know cause I'll be honest, I haven't watched that clip. But maybe you will, so enjoy.
New Van Halen
I realize "New Van Halen" is an oxymoron, kind of like "stupid Alex" or "shitty Dose of Metal." Or "Straight David Lee Roth."
But the guys really do have a new sample for you, and you can listen to it below.
Do I care about it, though? Well, let's see, here's a comment that was posted on our site recently:
"Why the fuck do you always post about shit and then say you “don’t care” about it? Sometimes I wonder if you cunts even listen to metal."
Don't care.
Jane’s Addiction “Underground” video is out
Jane's Addiction have released a new video, and you can watch it above. I can't help but point out that Perry Farrel looks like a pimp on crack (totally unrelated to the lyrics, I swear), but besides that, the song's good, and the video is nicely made. Nothing to write home about, but if you're not a fan, you probably stopped reading at Jane's Addiction.
Fear Factory revealed the new album title! OMG!
Fear Factory have revealed the new album title. It's called...
Wait for it...
The Industrialist
OMG!11!11!1 Let me guess, is it going to be... industrial?
I don't actually care what the name is, if it's anyway near the quality of Mechanize, I'll be perfectly happy. Take into account that Burton C. Bell has continuously stated he feels the band could do better than Mechanize, and that the new lineup has probably become a bit more stable by now (even though stable is not really a word I'd throw around when it comes to Fear Factory), we're in for a real treat. Yum! *that's what the band said*
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.
You can see the album cover after you make the jump.
Listen to Lamb of God’s Resolution
Lamb of God's Resolution is out today, and you can listen to a stream of it now on AOL.com. Actually, you could also do it yesterday, but I kinda forgot to post about it. Oops, I did it again.
Speaking of doing things again, the clip above is their video for Ghost Walking.
Crosses released EP II
††† (or, for the normal people, Crosses), the Chino Moreno / Shaun Lopez collaboration, released their second EP today, non-surprisingly named EP ††.
I have a few questions regarding this: will the third EP be called EP †††? If so, will it be pronounced 'EP Three' or 'EP Crosses'. What if they make a fourth? "EP More Crosses?"
Also, why the fuck are their reversed crosses upside down?
If you don't have any weird questions and just want to listen to it -- tt's available for purchase on their official website, crossesmusic.com, and the price for the regular download is $3.99, while the deluxe version will cost you $6.99 and get you lots of extras. The first EP is still available for a free download on the website, in case you missed it the first time around, so you can check out the music first if you feel like it.
Iron Maiden’s En Vivo! trailer released
Iron Maiden have released a trailer for their upcoming live album/video release, called En Vivo! En Vivo means ugly hairdo in Spanish, so it's clear why they've called it that.
While it looks good, I couldn't help but feel cheated. I mean, they taped the thing in Chile. I somehow get the feeling that any band can go to South America and make a killer live DVD. Does using that stereotype make me a douchebag? Sure, but it doesn't make me wrong. The album comes out March 26/27 (worldwide/North America).
