…Saturday, April 12 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at SanDiegoSymphony.org. In this truly unique concert event, master guitarist Dave Mustaine of the thrash-metal pioneers MEGADETH brings his crunchy and energetic sensibility to the great works of classical music which have inspired him over the course of his Grammy-nominated, multi platinum-selling career. When Dave Mustaine performs the virtuosic “Summer” and “Winter” movements from Vivaldi…
…now and not go into a store to grab everything you need and not pay for it. Online magazines now are out there where people can get information so fast, you can hear and read interviews I did yesterday on Blabbermouth the next day. So it’s a very quick thing that has advantages and disadvantages as well. The readers are now informed pretty fast, on the other hand I remember the times when I bought the magazines every month and I would be curious…
…can’t afford on an old vehicle this far from home with only a few days left, we are doing the cheapest of our pricey options, ditching the van in Texas to be junked, leaving our trailer in storage in Texas for now and flying back home. Sorry to everyone who was expecting to see us, we have a ton of tours and things in the works so we promise to those who missed out, we’ll be back!” The band’s latest album, Incisions, was released this fall via Ea…

…as the NFL ignored the obvious fact that the players should be naked, blind-folded and armed with battle axes, that land mines should litter the field and whalers should hurl harpoons randomly from the stands. GWAR is throwing our entire cosmic weight (and we are fairly hefty) behind this petition, and command all of our followers, their families, and indeed anybody who has ever existed to sign this fucking thing, and in fact for those who have al…

…rk Morton has issued the following statement regarding the decision by the Malaysian government. Shows scheduled in New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand will still be performed by the group: “It is very evident (and a bit frustrating) that the groups, parties and powers that have taken the most offense to our music and lyrics, have themselves only made a passing glance at the content and meanings of those songs. We would invite anyone offended by…
…e songtitles such as “Walk With Me In Hell”, “Sacrament” and “Resurrection”. “The organizing of such events do not only corrode morality but also the faith of Muslims,” Othman said. “Performances by heavy metal outfits that were often extreme also encouraged its audience to lose control,” he added. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, also demanded the concert be banned, claiming that LAMB OF GOD could cause…
…the scheduled performance of LAMB OF GOD, in Kuala Lumpur on September 28th. Its director-general, Datuk Othman Mustapha, said Jakim raised the objection on Friday because the genre of music that the group had performed was a mix of metal songs with the reading of verses from the Quran. The band had sparked controversy among the Christian community itself as a group that incorporates evil and anti-divine spiritual elements in its performance, he s…

…ored to take on an epic full length album. I hit up forums like Sevenstring.org, the Andy Sneap forum, etc. I learned a lot from people there critiquing my mixes and just reading threads. For the most part it was all in the ears though. We just experimented with sounds until things sounded right. Mixing was painstaking. It didn’t help that we were in school the whole time (and still are), so we recorded and wrote when we could. It took two and a h…
…athartic therapy as a move forward for the quintet. Featuring current and ex-members of Freedom Call and Jaded Heart among others, Powerworld aren’t spring chickens when it comes to this style. Should it really be surprising that keyboardist Marco Grashoff opens “Children of the Universe” with these space-like tones, transforming into this mid-tempo melodic metal anthem – and the follow up “Slave to the Powerworld” cranks up the guitars for Andrea…

…een, he didn’t need that job anymore. Ingo, he was a guy that Kai Hansen [ex-Helloween guitarist/vocalist] met at a subway station and said, “Guy, you look good, you have the body, I want you to be the drummer in my band.” He had to learn from scratch. Of course, it was decided he had to be a drummer in a metal band, so he had no means of following anything or rulebooks. There couldn’t be a more crass difference between Ingo and Dani. They’re true…

A cursory glance of the man’s website (www.lesdiscrets.com) is a mere snapshot of how far-reaching his work is, with snippets of his outstanding film work and artwork filling up the pages. It’s no wonder Teyssier has any time to sleep, let alone pump out one of the year’s best albums. The album in question is Septembre et ses dernières Pensées, a glorious combination of dark acoustic metal (ref. Agalloch, late-9…
…c’mon” part was influenced by [British pop singer] Robbie Williams’ “Jukebox.” I took the drum pattern from a Rubettes song back in ’74 [does drum part]. It was a hit in ’74 in Europe and I always liked that time period. I edited a grand piano in there, so it’s like this “rock palace.” Blistering.com: Finally, “Rise and Fall” from Keeper Part II.

…things slow down a bit when Luppi’s heartfelt vocals are added into the mix. Despite the heaviness at times, though, the album does veer off into softer territory, opting for more ballads and giving way to a slower emotional side. Overall, this is a new beginning for Secret Sphere and Portrait of a Dying Heartis arguably a fine moment for this outfit. Luppi is the star here with his amazing lead and harmony vocals, adding that unique flair to the…
