Hey METALLICA...NICKELBACK Showed You Up

I never thought I'd have a NICKELBACK blog entry on here, let alone one favoring them...but since being disappointed thus far with "Death Magnetic" I have to point out the fact when NICKELBACK covers METALLICA...they actually do it better...and thats fucking scary.

Here is Nickleback covering "The Four Horseman"


Covering "Sad But True"


James...you should be very ashamed...and I mean VERY ashamed in your vocal performance.

Back To The Future Performance The Way It Should have been

Do all of you young adolescents out there remember that 80's movie BACK TO THE FUTURE? Well I sure do, I loved it actually. There were many memorable parts of the movie like the Flux Capacitor, Marty being hit on by his young mom, the classic car sliding sideways into a truck full of cow dookie, and the best scene with Marty rocking "Johnny B. Good" to a crowd of numb cookie cutters. So, that brings me to the video I found on Youtube and of course is of that performance; however, with the most ideal music...at least for us metal heads:

New DEEDS OF FLESH Song

Attn: All Current Death Metal bands and/or striving Death Metal bands, it would be prudent of you to take one from the book of DEEDS OF FLESH. These motherfuckers know how to play Death Metal. They have posted a new song entitled "Unearthly Invent" which will be featured on their upcoming release "Of What's To Come" out November 18th via UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS. Check it out here.

Another METALLICA Song Has Leaked

Its called "Apocalypse" and its not good at all...recycled riffs and just plan annoying vocals/lyrics:




Anyways, I happened to like the song "The Day That Never Come" until about the 5:00 mark and then it became "The Song That Will Never End"...if you haven't heard it on your local radio station check it out:



Im 1/2 for 1 1/2 so far with "Death Magnetic"...I don't even know why I'm paying attention to it....DAMN YOU FAIRYTALE MARKETING TOOLS!!!

Original KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Masterminds JESSE LEACH and ADAM D Reunited To Bring Forth DAYS OF GRACE

Okay, so typically journalists shouldn't say what I am about to say...however, I have been waiting for to many years to be conservative about my response. So, I have to let you know I have the biggest raging metal nerd boner in history right now. I can't believe its finally happening.

Taken from Jesse Leach's official Myspace blog:

"Yeah that is right I have been under a gag order on this one & now I have the go ahead...

SO I have been working on an Album with Adam D for well over a year now on and off. We hope to have it completed by the end of the year. This is an album that Adam wrote while lying in bed from a back injury! I am very pleased to say two of the forces behind Alive or Just breathing have come back together to bring you our new project "Days of Grace" I am also pleased to say we have the blessings of Killswitch Engage behind us so the energy is very positive.

You will hear my best vocals to date on this album, as Adam has pushed me to belt out stuff I did not know I had in me. There will be plenty of melodic vocals as well as a good amount of yelling & screaming. Adam takes lead vocals on a couple of these tracks and it is nothing less than Amazing!. Don't expect Alive or Just Breathing part 2, this will be an album to stand on it's own!

I will keep you updated on our progress now I am able to talk about it ha ha..

Blessed Love

Jesse"

And in a newer blog on his page, he reveals a tentative release date and ANOTHER METAL PROJECT:

"September reunits Adam D from KSE to attemt to finish our Album. This process has been going on for well over a year, Adam is a VERY busy person & we will do our best to nail this down. We hope to see a 2009 world wide release. Adam does lead vocals on a few tracks & a lot of you will be surprised! This album pushed genres & I am proud to be a part of it.

The project s working name is "Days of Grace"

THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL and it does not disappoint.

I seriously can't stand up right now, I think my nerd boner has me lightheaded.

KING DIAMOND Video Footage Performing With METALLICA

Now, typically, I don't write much or pay to much attention to METALLICA anymore because the band has just continually disappointed my expectations and hopes of sounding amazing. I still mean that because if you have heard the sound board recording of their new song "Cyanide" from their upcoming album "Death Magnetic" then you'll understand the new album is going to sound like shit. Twenty years to the day I have waited for an album like "...And Justice For All" to come out and I will never hear that day again.

With that being said, I just stumbled across a video of METALLICA performing at this years OZZFEST with none other than the legendary KING DIAMOND. I was blown away. The music was so amazing and King Diamond should make a deal with Satan to steal James Hetfield's voice so he can be a permanent front man of METALLICA. One can only dream of such...as well as the dream of Metallica studying KING DIAMOND music to produce such amazing guitar work. Only in our metal dreams. Anyways, here is the video with King Diamond:

DIVINE HERESY Announce New Vocalist With Audio

That folks is the new face of DIVINE HERESY. The drama has settled...TOMMY CUMMINGS has moved on to SNOT (unfortunately)...and DIVINE HERESY has replaced Mr. Cummings with a more prominent style. Personally, its a shame TRAVIS NEAL wasn't the face from the get go. He really adds some ass to the band which was lacking due to Mr. Cummings desire to sound like a washed up Howard Jones of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Although Travis Neal sounds more like PHIL ANSELMO he brings a level of screaming reminiscent to VITAL REMAINS at times with his highs. Check it out, they released a track with Travis' vocals on "Bleed The Filth" here. You be the judge.

Also, if you want to hear more of Travis Neal's vocals check out his other band THE BEREAVED here. A warning to you before you head that way, think 80's "Final Countdown" before clicking the first track. ha.

The City of Metal

I apologize for the lack thereof metal blogs, there is good reason. I have actually relocated to the West Coast of Florida on the outskirts of a legendary metal city called Tampa. For those of you who don't know what that means, well, just know this is the city Death Metal was birthed....aka the Death Metal capital of the world. So sick.

In due time I'll contribute to this blog once again. I just need to find a job, the one I came out here with intentions of living off of fell through. Sucks. No worries though, things will work itself out.

In the mean time, watch this amazing video and join in with welcoming me to the Death Metal Capital of the world...
