Merry Christmas, from Corey

Like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez before him, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Stone Sour and The Jonas Brothers fame released his own Christmas song. And it is now available for streaming.

Check it out, after the jump.

When asked if he’ll star in his own show on the Disney channel, Corey Taylor had no comment.

Six Feet Under cancel tour

Six Feet Under, the show, ended in 2005. Six Feet Under, the band, canceled their tour in 2010. Coincidence? Of course. It’s not even a coincidence since the two have nothing in common except the name, so what the fuck am I talking about? Good question. Why are you reading this then? Even better question. Anyways.

“Circumstances and events beyond our control has forced the cancellation of our December tour in Europe. We are deeply aware of the burden this puts on our loyal fans and we apologize. We live to play in front of our fans and our commitment to our European fans could not be stronger.“ said Chris Barnes while humming the theme song of the tv show.

Well, tours seem to be canceled left and right. It’s hard out there for a pimp metalhead.

Korpiklaani release track listing and cover art

Korpiklaani are a folk metal band from Finland that write about fantasy and asking you to bring them pints of beer. They dress really goofy and approximately 80% of their songs are not in English but they’re a good band, so all is forgiving.

February 4/2011 marks the release of album number seven from Korpiklaani.  The album is titled, “Ukon Wacka“.
