There's been no change to Hypocrisy's formula, but if you like melodic death metal, you'll love this one. The influence of Peter Tägtgren the producer is significant, as he's helmed some of the most important Scandinavian metal albums of the last 15 years, by such popular acts as Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Amon Amarth, and Children of Bodom. As for Peter Tägtgren the musician, he and his long-running...

Yesterday, amidst the sniping between late night talk show hosts and the news about Simon Cowell leaving "American Idol," another news story nearly slipped through the cracks: Mark McGwire, the former St. Louis Cardinal who held America's attention during his chase for the single-season home run record in the summer of 1998, finally admitted to [...]

It took me a while to get this record, since at first the solo at the end was quite fiddly for me. It's not a difficult song and it's actually pretty good, although there are also a load of other good T. Rex songs that would've been awesome. Still, better this than a shit one. I was happy when I finally FC'd it and it's actually one of the last ones I FC'd, although not the last GH5 record since the...
More new metal has arrived from China, and yet again it shows an ability to take the influences it has consumed, repackage them and spit them back out with a strong young voice. Up to this point, much of what I've heard from the The Middle Kingdom has been of the blacker variety, but Frosty Eve are a full on melodic death metal band with a huge influence from bands like Children of Bodom , Norther...
With certain people away and no guests for the last fews days and Christmas approaching and things generally hysterical in the world I can revert to the thing that gives me the only piece of mind I have left, my continued obsession with the folk of a small parcel of land situated between the mountains of Windsor NS and Greenwood NS, the Annapolis Valley. So no Dolly Parton today, nor Police, nor Dragonforce,...
I'm so excited I don't even know how to start this post. I just received my samples of China Glaze's upcoming spring collection, "Up & Away" and as soon as I saw them a wave of happiness swept over me! These are seriously gorgeous and the promo pic of these does not do them justice. They are utter creme perfection. Flyin' High. This is kind of in between a bright sky blue and an aqua-looking...
Ohio’s SKELETONWITCH have just wrapped up their North American fall touring, which had them on the road since September, supporting CHILDREN OF BODOM and then THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. The band has a few down days before they head over to Europe to co-headline with TOXIC HOLOCAUST and GOATWHORE. They’re supporting their second full length for PROSTHETIC RECORDS, “Breathing the Fire,”...
Children of Bodom mean well, but Garage Days Re-Revisited this is most definitely not. Whenever a bunch of kids form a band, they start out playing cover versions of their favorite songs. In metal, that fondness for playing those old tunes never fades, even when a band becomes huge. Of course, Metallica played a very large role in popularizing the metal cover, their "Garage Days Revisited"...
Deftones played two tribute shows this weekend for bassist Chi Cheng where they were joined by members of Metallica, Children Of Bodom, System Of A Down, Dillinger Escape Plan, Far, Suicidal Tendencies and more! (more…)
Put Your Hands Up Here Comes My DJ! In an industry that has been said to be over saturated with peripherals for rhythm games do we really need a plastic turntable? People that don’t enjoy the gentle musings of Children of Bodom and Metallica would have to say: Yes! Activision and FreeStyleGame’s DJ Hero is a game [...]
words by BBG, photos by Chloe Rice Skeltonwitch Metal Underground: You've toured with some great bands already. Like you said, you just got off the Children of Bodom tour, Danzig, which had to be really cool, and many other people....
