Write for beMETAL?

Posted in beMETAL on May 24th, 2006

As you may have guessed from my recent lack of posting, I haven’t had much time or inspiration to add stories here for a while.

So I’m thinking, maybe there are others out there with a bit more time on their hands who might want to contribute?

If you’re interested, shoot me an email or leave a comment.

DragonForce on Sounds of the Underground?

Posted in METAL News on May 4th, 2006

Ok, this is still just a rumor, but it seems that a reliable source is saying that DragonForce will be on this year’s Sounds of the Underground tour!!!

I really hope this is true.

I just caught their first ever show in the US this weekend at the NEMHF, and it was beyond incredible. I’ll talk about it more during the next TEL.

Update: Confirmed! Although, only for “select dates”.

Update 2: Retracted?!

National day of Slayer!

Posted in METAL News on May 2nd, 2006

Mark your calendars!

From nationaldayofslayer.org:

6.6.06 isn’t a date that comes around very often (once per century, to be exact), and while plenty of stupid horror movies and terrible albums will be released for the hype value of the day that bears “the number of the beast”, we here at NDoS decided that this would be a perfect day for Hessians across the country to come together and engage in something upon which we can all agree - listening to Slayer!

Official Statement on Participation

  • Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
  • Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
  • Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
  • Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.

DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren’t just about celebrating; they’re about forcing it upon non-participants.

I accept.

And of course, don’t miss the Unholy Alliance tour!

Hey, when is the new Slayer album supposed to come out anyway??
