Okay, I know, nospace jokes and Iwrestledabearonce come hand in hand, and neither are good, so we promise that the next time we’ll think of somethingelse to write about.

Anyway, it’s Friday night, and instead of being out, drinking and listening to metal, I’m home writing this (and you’re home reading this). And in case you’re listening to metal, make your night completely lame and download Iwrestledabearonce dubstep EP that’s been posted on their Facebook page. Click here. Pro tip: You don’t have to do all those things they ask of you (like their page, share etc), just click on the image that tells you to do that and you get the link. Though, if you’re downloading this, you’re probably already in their fan list. Yes, someone lamer than me! Thank you Jesus.

Phil's one man band

Here’s the stuff Phil can do: sing, play guitar, play bass, hug dogs.
Here’s the stuff Phil can’t do: form a coherent phrase, keep a constant pitch in his voice while talking, blink normally.

Luckily, his new album will only require those things he can do, as it’s not a motivational album or anything.

Hellbound: Will you be handling the rest of the parts of the album? Playing guitar, singing and playing bass as well?

Phil: I’d say about 99%, for sure. I might have a couple of guys do some leads. I’m nothing great at leads, I’m kind of creative with themes but as a lead guitar player I’m pretty God-awful! Depending on the music, you know, I’m thinking this particular project might call for someone with a little more lead guitar talent.

When asked if the dog will have anything to do with the album itself, Phil had no comment. He just emulated a bark. Or maybe that was his answer, who knows anymore?

Bleeding Through don't care about sales

Bleeding Through frontman, Brandan Schieppati,was recently interviewed by Sonic Shocks.  It’s been a while now since the band’s latest, and self-titled, album came out, but eh, why not bring it up again?

Brandon was asked how he felt about the response to the album, and his response to the question of the album’s response, was the follwoing response:

“I feel like the people that actually got it loved it. I’ve heard very few people criticize it; it’s had the best reviews in the press that we’ve ever had with any other record, and I feel like the kids that buy it really enjoy it. It’s weird, though, because it didn’t really sell very well, but like I said before, we don’t really care about that, about what our record sells. It’s record number six for us. How many people buy six albums by a band?”

Lars loves the Big 4

Lars Ulrich, Metallica‘s drummer and main ranter, loved The Big Four. It’s all good and all, but we heard him the first time he said it.

“It’s pretty amazing if you think about it, that it’s the first time basically in 25 years or 30 or whatever that the four of us have actually played shows together,” he said. “So it was a lot of fun, a lot of memories, a lot of fun times — new fun times, and fun times talking about the old fun times. So it sort of was a, it was a winner on every front.” said Lars while counting his zillions.

Well, I’m sure he does love them since the DVD pretty much sold like hot candy. Expect an in-depth review of it, coming from us, quite soon. Also expect general badassery coming from this site.

Warner Music buys Roadrunner Records

According to Blabbermouth, who should know really, Roadrunner Records was fully required by Warner Music.

I don’t really want to get into detail of that story, because you can read it on Blabbermouth anyhow. I just want to know what that means for the quality of music, or lack thereof, Roadrunner puts out.

For years, Roadrunner put out great albums until it turned into the forerunner of Metalcore. Now that Warner Music bought Roadrunner, I can see them going down an even more mainstream route, which would be a shame because there are still one or two good bands on that label.

We will see, I guess. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the future of Roadrunner.
