Unearth make a surprise move
Shock horror! Another Metalcore band have chosen to work with Adam Dutkiewicz for their forthcoming album. I never saw that coming. In other news; cows go moo, and water is wet.
The hardcore inspired Metallers, Unearth, released the following statement via their Twitter account:
We’ve chosen to work with Adam Dutkiewicz on the new album for pre-pro, tracking and mix. Pre-Pro started last week. Stay tuned for updates!
Therion for Bloodstock 2011
The legendery Swedish symphonic Metallers, known worldwide by all 17 of their fans, Therion are the latest band to be confirmed for next year’s Bloodstock festival in the UK.
Bloodstock is often hailed as the only “true” (insert rolling eyes) Metal festival in the UK, and it shows with the current lineup, which includes Morbid Angel, Immortal, Rhapsody of Fire, and Triptykon so far. Bloodstock 2011 is already shaping up to be a fantastic weekend for British Metalheads.
Therion issued the following statement:
“The band is thrilled to get the opportunity to play the Bloodstock and promise they will impact the island unforgettably”
I guess they really will impact the island unforgettably. I’ll have to mark the date in my diary for sure. If you’re interested, early bird tickets are available now for just £90 from www.bloodstock.uk.com. As the country’s cheapest (big-ish) festival, you’d be mad to pass it up.

Metallica in Rio
Metallica just announced a date for 2011. It’s in Brazil, they will headline “Rock in Rio 2011.”
“We know it’s pretty nutty to announce a show almost a year in advance . . . certainly not something we’ve ever done before! However, when we were asked to headline the original Rock in Rio, the one actually in Rio de Janeiro (!!), we just couldn’t say “no.”
Tickets go on sale on November 19th, 2010 only at the Rock in Rio official website, RockInRio.com.br. Other points of sale will be available only after July, 1, 2011.“
If you’re Brazilian and like Metallica, you’re in luck.
Replacing Weiland is tricky
I once on the toilet one day and I took a pretty slimy dump. You know the type, the one that feels like peanut butter and jelly. I’m almost done and I notice there’s no more toilet paper left. I was faced with a pretty shady decision: should I jump in the shower like this and clean it up? I said… Yes… So I jumped in the shower and I noticed I left a trail of shit drops on my way to it, kind of like a feces version of Hansel and Gretel.
But I think, right, at least now I get cleaned up. Only the shower wasn’t working, and then I realized I had received a note a day prior about water being shut off for a few hours. So I thought to myself… I’m royally fucked.
Then I remembered I had both Mentos and a few bottles of Diet Coke. Pheeew.
“Trying to find the right guy for this thing is a lot more complicated than one would probably think. So we will keep on toiling away it until we hit that magic and when that happens then everything will start rolling“ said Slash about auditioning new singers.

So yeah, from now on I check my toilet paper supply thoroughly before doing the deed. At the very least, I check the fridge for Diet Coke. God bless the internet.
