Cradle of Filth unleash new site
The muppets in drag are back, controversial “Metal” band, Cradle of Flith have announced their new album, Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa, will be released this Autumn.
I have to admit, for the longest time I assumed this band had no vocalist and instead opted to make use of a combination of MIDI effects and tortured pigs, but apparently I was wrong. Cradle of Filth do indeed have a vocalist and he’s called Dani Filth (guess his parents didn’t like him too much). Mr Filth has been promising big things from their forthcoming album, going as far as calling it “violently epic” and describing it as like “Iron Maiden on Crack”. One can only assume that means yet another album of combining ripped-off Iron Maiden riffs with the sounds of pigs being raped.
You can check out their new site, with exclusive news on their new album, here.
Def Leppard singer finally speaks
Def Leppard, the band with the greatest parking privileges, finally speak on the controversial Motley Crue (sorry, don’t have those symbols on my keyboard) comments.
It will be on some radio show from some radio station but I’m way too lazy to dig up the whole article, so you’ll have to figure it out on your own.
When asked if he buys one drumstick at the time, the Def Leppard drummer had no comment.

Mike Portnoy finally speaks…
The metal community was shocked to its core when news got out that Dream Theater actually have a drummer. For years we’ve been guessing it’s either EZ Drummer or FL Studio behind the band’s unique sound, but nope, he’s real… His name is Mike Portnoy.
Sadly, he left the band, and while the band decides which Cubase plugin to replace him with, Mike himself opens up to Q104.3 FM about the reasons of his departure.
“Q: You didn’t wanna quit and obviously they didn’t want you out. It really just seems like it was a disagreement as to where you were in your life with the band and what they wanted to do, and I guess the odds came out to four against one, and they decide they’re going without you.
Portnoy: That’s exactly it. I mean, I didn’t wanna quit and they didn’t want me to leave, but yet here we are.“
So there you have it…
When asked about why Petrucci uses kid-sized guitar straps, Portnoy had no comment.

Sideburn sign with Metal Heaven Records
A band I’ve never heard of signed with a record label nobody heard of either. In more exciting news, I checked my testicles in the shower the other day and it turns out I don’t have cancer…
When asked about Sideburn, Elvis had no comments.
Stone Sour's Corey Taylor interviewed.
