Pantera's Walk turned into a pop song

Have you ever wondered what Pantera would have sounded like if they were a pop band and Phil Anselmo was actually female? No? Me neither but the Swedish band Hellsongs, consisting of two guys who look… Swedish and a chick who handles vocals, covered arguably Pantera’s biggest hit ‘Walk’.

Are you interested now? Me neither but as it turns out, the song is actually not bad at all. Not my type of music but it’s done well. It’s not a carbon copy but a rearrangement of the original.

Make up your own opinion with the song after the jump, or go to their MySpace to listen to more covers (including Megadeth and Black Sabbath, among others).

Anthrax + Sepultura sitting in a tree

Anthrax and Sepultura joined forces last night for a concert in some city in Chile. I am not good with foreign countries so I didn’t really get where this happened, so maybe you can help me out.

Not much else to say so read the full story here and make the jump to see some videos of them performing.

They'll crush your skull with a blow!

After almost four years, Turisas have finally announced “Stand Up And Fight” as the title of their upcoming new album.  The album will be released January 31st, 2011 in Europe and February 8th, 2011 in North America.

Check out Blabbermouth for comments from the band and to see who they will be touring with in 2011.

Ooh ah ah ah ah!!

Why do rock bands sometimes release trailers for music videos?  Honestly, I don’t think anyone really anticipates a music video anymore.

Well, Disturbed clearly believe their fans do.  They just released a trailer for the song, “The Animal”.  I have no idea when the video will be out(and don’t care).

Make the jump to view the trailer.

Why Anselmo didn't appear at Dimebash

Last month Dimebash 2010 took place in Hollywood and rumor had it that Phil Anselmo was going to perform, he didn’t though. He was ‘sick,’ according to Blabbermouth.

Personally, I thought it was bullshit and that the rumor simply wasn’t true, but Rita Haney, Dimebag Darrell’s former Girlfriend now admited that Anselmo was indeed supposed to perform but he was seriously ill.

Apparently he and Haney finally buried the hatchet and hoped to do that publically at Dimebash, which was a success and I think, it would have been a really nice thing, especially considering that it was taped for a DVD release. Oh well, maybe next year.

Watch a video of Haney talking about Anselmo and Dimebash with Artisan News after the jump.
