New Down album in 2011

According to Pepper Keenan we’re getting a new Down album in Summer 2011.

“Right now we’re working on new material, so we’re trying to keep up more of a brisk pace, once we get some new shit out. We’re moving backwards towards the “Nola” sound, go-for-the-throat kind of shit. We’re not putting too much time into the production of it, like the last two records we did. Which I enjoyed doing, but now it’s time to go backwards a little bit, have some fun. So maybe this summer.” […] “2011 summer. Bank on it, kid.”

When asked about the rumors that Down are going to release an EP, Pepper had the following to say;

“Well it’s more than a four-song EP, but we’re talking about finally getting this thing together. I don’t wanna go into any detail yet, but it’s going to be pretty massive. The first EP will be the first section of a whole big deal we’re working on. It’s gonna be fucking nuts.”

And now a wild guess: The next Down album is going to be called… Down V (because ‘Diary of a Mad Band’ was Down IV). Oh yeah, I’m smart.

Preview the Holy Grail

No, not THE Holy Grail, just the band Holy Grail‘s forthcoming album, Crisis In Utopia.

You can check out the album in its entirety over at Metal Hammer. Is it the Holy Grail you’ve been searching for? Probably not, but it’s worth a listen regardless.

Australians like it long

How else could you explain that Bring Me The Horizon‘s album called There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let’s Keep It A Secret made it to the No. 1 at the Australian Recording Industry Association chart (another long name, see the pattern)? Could it be they also have bad taste in music? Or could it be that the album is good? So many questions.  If you think this site has answers, you’ve made the second mistake today (the first being coming here). Read more about this successful story here.

Detsörgsekälf = most hated unknown metal band ever?

Detsörgsekälf hail from Toronto, Canada.  They are parody band of the black metal scene.  Just like us, they also do not take themselves serious.

Jump on the next page to see various links for Detsörgsekälf and a music video of the band, which happens to have over 700,000 views, mostly negative comments.

P.S Rob Cranny is a sexy beast and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

AC/DC homes for sale

AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams is selling two of his houses. Since AC/DC is the top ticket selling artist in the world, we can only assume he’s selling them to buy a few castles, or maybe an Eastern European country. He can’t be having money issues… Then again, he is the bassist.

“Cliff Williams is selling two of his properties. The Wall Street Journal reports that Williams has listed his Savannah, Georgia townhouse and a Fort Myers, Florida home. The Georgia townhouse is a restored home that was originally built in 1872.“

I barely have enough money to go to Starbucks. This guy is selling and buying property for millions. Is life fair? No it fucking isn’t.
