Special thanks go out to Joe Derschka, who helped in making this possible and proved his patience with me. Check out the interview after the jump.

Review: The Big 4 Live From Sofia, Bulgaria (Deluxe Box Set)

June 22th, 2010 was one of the most metal days in the existence of… everything! The Big Four of Thrash Metal; Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax; not only played the same festival, the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria, together. No, their performances were also recorded, edited and aired in over 800 cinemas all over the world, where over 100,000 fans watched the spectacle.

Now, a couple of days ago, the Box Set of the event was released. I bought it and shall do a short but to the point review for you within the next couple of minutes. Go on after the jump.

In addition, we will hold a Big Four Week soon (dates to be announced), where we will review each performance in-depth, as well as comparing the DVDs and Blu-Rays of the event and whatever else we can think of.

Stone Sour (digital) video

Slipknot’s smaller brother, Stone Sour, have released the video for their new single, Digital (did you tell).  The song is about the digital age we live (in) and how people need to unplug (from) it and see the world. So the band thought the best way to get this message across was to release a (digital) video on the (digital) world wide web, for all the kids (sat in front of their computer screens) to watch.

Check it out after the jump.

Evile thrash Vancouver

Footage of Thrash titans, Evile (pronounced “eeeh-vile” but you have to pronounce it in a deep voice, like a monster, otherwise you’re doing it wrong – just watch the video), tearing shit up in Vancouver has made its way onto the internet. Or rather it was posted by their label, Earache.

Evile have begun work on their third studio album, expected for release in early 2011.

Check out the live footage after jump.

Underoath In Division

Christian Metalcore mob, Underoath, are back with a new video for the song, In Division, taken from the forthcoming album, Ø (Disambiguation), due for release on November 9, 2010.

Personally, Underoath are a band I could never really get into, they just didn’t appeal to me, but actually this new song doesn’t sound all bad to me… I was ready to make jokes about the song, but I just can’t bring myself to do it, because it’s actually rather good. Maybe that’s because they have none of the original members left though. Check the video out after the jump to see what you think.
