Spineshank reveal album title

No, you haven’t accidentally stepped into a time-warp. Yet another band from the Nu-Metal era obviously in need of some more cash, the reformed Spineshank have announced that their new album will be called Anger Denial Acceptance.

The band don’t make any great promises, instead saying that, for better or worse, the band are still just being themselves. If you’re still a fan of Spineshank (do Spineshank fans still exist?), I guess it can only be a good thing.

The Haunted ghost

The Haunted recently performed a brand new song from their forthcoming album, Unseen, entitled No Ghost.  The track was performed yesterday at the P3 Guld, the Swedish radio’s annual music awards in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Watch crappy fan-made footage of the No Ghost after the jump. And whilst you’re at it, if you haven’t already, check out our crappy amazing interview with Peter Dolving right here.

Six Feet Under release preview for DVD

Six Feet Under are going to release the DVD ‘Wake the Night! Live in Germany’ on January 31 in Europe, February 1 in North America. German Death Metal fans can buy the DVD 3 days earlier than the rest of Europe though. Why? Because Germany rules and SFU loves us. I’m still German, for those who didn’t know.

None other than Dusty Peterson, who helped us write yesterday’s Top 10, did the artwork for said DVD. He also did the artwork for Six Feet Under’s latest ‘Graveyard Classics,’ number III that is.

Now, on with the news. Chris Barnes and Co. released a preview of their DVD, the performance of ‘Victim of the Paranoid’. Check it out after the jump and don’t be a fucking victim, be a fucking killer.

Dose of the Nu

Nu-Metal isn’t exactly the most popular of genres. It’s the guy that never got the prom date, the girl that was still a virgin at 35, and the guy that was always picked last for sports. It’s the underdog, and in many respects, that’s exactly why so many kids identified with the genre. Let’s be honest though, the year is no longer 1999 and most of us have since grown up and realized the music was crap.

However, for every 1,000 misogynistic, shitty songs about sex, and every 2,000 songs about how much parents suck, there was at least one or two gems that actually stood out from the cesspit of a genre.

So, want to listen to 5 Nu-Metal songs that don’t suck (well in my opinion, feel free to disagree)? Then get your dosage after the jump. Before you do though, please realize that I don’t care who or what is Nu-Metal as I don’t even recognize it as a real genre. So don’t bother telling me that some a band is actually “Industrial Aggro Alternative Carnival Funk Grunge Metal” instead please, because not only do I not care, I also don’t care.

Friday Top 10: Our best news posts of 2010

Now, we’re not psychiatrists, but based on his artwork (like the one above), we’re pretty sure we wouldn’t trust Dusty Peterson with a gun. Still, he is our first interviewee, a great artist and apparently likes our site, so we asked him to help us write this week’s ‘Friday Top 10.’ Here’s what he came up with:

Something I love about Dose of Metal is their brash sense of humor while delivering news posts. There are a lot of great metal blogs out there, ranging from the ball-licking to assholish, but I think Dose of Metal has like a +10 asshole sword that they wield while writing their articles. They inject their opinions into pretty much every news post, which may not sit well with your average internet pussy who get’s pissed off at people who disagree with him, but I find it refreshing.

Make no mistake, I think they are mostly all full of shit, but they are full of entertaining shit and so that’s why I visit the site! Below are my top ten news posts from last year. (I noticed there there are a lot of balls, assholes and pussies in that post… much like this site).
