Enough Already...THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!




I have to honestly say, I was really looking forward to hearing the latest Kerrang! covers release especially given it was an all out IRON MAIDEN covers album entitled "Maiden Heaven". Not just any covers album, but covers by bands such as METALLICA, TRIVIUM, MACHINE HEAD, DEVILDRIVER, ....Coheed and Cambria....and more! So i was obviously excited to hear how these metal bands paid homage to the legendary IRON MAIDEN!!!

Well then this link was posted. Following my clicking of the audio clips. I wanted to search for the closest nail bed and do a belly flop onto it because the songs are terrible. The short snippets were so punishing to my curiosity I should have just searched for child porn, be tapped by the FBI, and locked up in a cell with a fat 10" dick swinging black man named Bubba.

THIS IS BLASPHEMY. Seriously. Kerrang! gathers the most egotistical self-loving bands to cover a metal legend and expected to come out with positive results. I too was fooled. For fuck sake, I feel like our current metal scene is on the ass end of the Nu-metal years.

Now, I would have loved to have heard bands like DRAGONLAND, STILL REMAINS, BEHEMOTH, DIMMU BORGIR, SCAR SYMMETRY, INTO ETERNITY, THE HAUNTED...all the bands that can actually hold a note and sing...Fuck. I mean, I know DREAM THEATER and MACHINE HEAD rule and did well, but FUCK!!!! Kerrang! did you forget about the cover OPETH did which destroys METALLICA's attempt?! Even if that one isn't available give them "Fear of the Dark" or something guys. Something better than what you are marketing.

Give credit where credit is due. Display bands who play with a passion and respect and not for a paycheck. This is an absolute disgusting tribute.
