4 weeks ago On Sunday, April 21st, we had an epic way to kick off the Grindhouse Battle, which if you do not know, is a online battle of local Acadiana metal bands! In match 1, we had Misanthropic Inoculation versus Cut Through The Dawn. Since those two bands had a show in Lafayette the next night, I decided to put them against each other in match 1, plus a little lagniappe!
Kiss' biggest chart hit, 'Beth,' has been re-imagined as a '70s-style dramedy in a hilarious video complete with actors playing the role of Peter Criss and a nagging wife imploring him to leave a recording session -- because dinner is getting cold and the kids are driving her crazy.
A little constructive criticism never hurts, but Geoff Tate is ready to confront some full-on hate head-on with a new contest. The Queensryche frontman and his reconstructed lineup are now promoting their latest effort, 'Frequency Unknown,' and have launched an interesting competition in which they're challenging haters to stand up for their opinion and film a rant about the album.
Machine Head are getting closer to rounding out their lineup for their summer's Mayhem Festival. The group revealed that they've completed the submission process to fill their vacant bassist slot and are taking the next step.
It's a confusing time for Disturbed fans, who are watching the band's members begin to find success with other projects. John Moyer has been playing bass for Adrenaline Mob, who've already released a full album and covers EP. David Draiman has one of the most hyped projects of the year with Device, who just released their debut disc. And this week we learned that guitarist Dan Donegan and drummer Mike Wengren were launching a new band called Fight or Flight. But Donegan is quick to alleviate Disturbed split fears while promoting his new outfit.
