The Golden Gods Awards trailer is here

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t trust any award ceremony where they honor Gods and I’m not nominated. So don’t hold it against me if I’m not extremely excited for this ceremony.

But its trailer has hit the net (as seen above) and it does feature a Pantera song so how bad can it be? Well, let’s put it this way… Avenged Sevenfold seems like the big winner of the evening.

By the way, this already happened last month, but it’s gonna be aired more than a month later because, why would you need to show it as it happens? It’s just an award ceremony, it’s not like anyone will post the awards rendering the whole night useless as the ‘excitement factor’ disappears. Get real, yo.

Make the jump for a list of what will happen so that you don’t have to actually watch it.

Get ready for the Kiss Kruise. Yes, really.

It may come as a surprise to you, but Kiss like money. They’ve sold everything from drinks, condoms, gnomes, etc… But if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking “Well, they haven’t made their own cruise yet!”

Boy, are you in luck:

“The first-ever Kiss Kruise: Wet, Wild & Rockin’ is setting sail October 13-17, 2011 from Miami, Florida to Half Moon Cay and Nassau, Bahamas on board the Carnival Destiny. KISS and Sixthman are joining forces to create the wettest, wildest, most rockin’ cruise in the Atlantic.

Kiss will be hosting this ship to bring you music, krazy onboard activities, and Kiss-themed nights.“

Blabbermouth is so excited about this that they wrote the ‘krazy onboard activities’ line twice in their article. They seem pretty calm usually, but if this got them amped up then boy, it must be good. I guess I’ll start throwing money Kiss’ way now and join this thing.

I’ve avoided Kiss’ music in a lot of places… Bars… Festivals… YouTube… I’ve never avoided it on a boat, so this should be fun.

Trivium are recreating

According to Blabbermouth, in a recent interview with Matt Heafy, the frontman reveals that glorified Metallica tribute act, Trivium, are allegedly “recreating everything” on their forthcoming album.

Yes Trivium, by “recreating” I assume you’ll once again be taking what superior bands have already created and will rehash it for the kids too young to notice. Another original concept by Trivium, hooray.

In the band’s defence, they actually claim that’s exactly what they’re not doing. I’ll believe it when I see it though.

Friday Top 10: Love songs

People often prejudge Metal as being an “angry” and “monotonous” genre, which is only concerned with noise and aggression. However, I’m going to prove that this isn’t always the case, as the Metal genre also happens to be home to some of the most emotionally mature and beautiful love songs and ballads.

Now Playing

Ever seen that trending topic on Twitter #nowplaying? Of course you have, and now you’re seeing me doing it on Dose of Metal. Why? Because I’m so awesome an original, and besides, my opinion rules all.

So without further ado: #nowplaying Evile – Thrasher

Evile‘s ‘Thrasher’ is fantastic, and you haven’t checked it out yourselves, now is your chance. What’s so great about it? Well one, it’s Evile. Two, it’s called Thrasher. And three, erm it’s a great Thrash Metal track and today is Thrash Friday. Ok so Thrash Thursday would sound a lot better, but Friday is the start of the weekend and the time to party, so that’s what I’m going for.
