Judas Priest's "Epitaph Tour" In New Jersey Proves Bands Legacy!


Last night (November 18th), legendary Heavy Metallers Judas Priest performed at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of the North American leg of the "Epitaph Tour". The show was a complete hit as far as the performance of Judas Priest, unfortunately both Black Label Society and Thin Lizzy were turned way down on the PA, which resulted in them sounding diluted. We understand that the headliner, in this case Judas Priest, always wants to sound louder than the opening bands, but in a way the fans are being ripped off by purposely making bands sound weak at a big arena. This needs to be considered by every "big" band, the fans are paying good money to see a good show, not to just to see one band sound good.


Judas Priest performed the following songs.

Battle Hymn
1) Rapid Fire
2) Metal Gods
3) Heading Out to the Highway
4) Judas Rising
5) Starbreaker
6) Victim Of Changes
7) Never Satisfied
8) Diamonds & Rust Joan Baez cover

Dawn Of Creation
9) Prophecy
10) Night Crawler
11) Turbo Lover
12) Beyond the Realms of Death
13) The Sentinel
14) Blood Red Skies
15) The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) - Fletwood Mac cover
16) Breaking the Law
17) Painkiller

Encore - The Hellion
18) Electric Eye
19) Hell Bent For Leather
20) You've Got Another Thing Comin'

Encore 2
21) Living After Midnight

"We're pulling out all the stops. We've built a brand new stage set, we've got all the effects that people love us for — the lasers, the fire, the bombs, the smoke, new costumes, and the bike. It's just a full-on metal extravaganza." - Rob Halford

As for whether this is really the end of Judas Priest's touring days, guitarist Glenn Tipton said, "We don't plan on retiring. We've said that this is our last world tour. It takes a chunk out of your life — 18 months. We won't be doing any more world tours as such and in many parts of the world, it will be the last time people will get a chance to see us. But we're not gonna stop. We've got an album in the can now, we will start to write with [new guitarist] Richie [Faulkner], there will be more albums, and who knows?! There might be a string of dates that we can manage to do. We're just not gonna do another major world tour. We've been doing it for 40 years and it's time to let the younger bands have the chance."

Exhumed, Goatwhore & Havok = Triple ThreaT of meTal (Video Available)!

Last Wednesday (November 9th), three very dangerous bands took center stage at Club Europa in Brooklyn, NY and pummeled the audience with an extreme dose of Metal. We are talking about Exhumed, Goatwhore and Havok, of course. This tour package is definitely one of the hardest hitting North American tours in the Fall of 2012. Not only does each band possess a unique blend of ear piercing sounds, but the three bands offered a very cohesive night of razor sharp Metal for all those who dared to attend! While we were there, we conducted interviewed with members from each band, and came up with a real cool piece titled "Triple ThreaT of meTal!" that you should all watch after you read our exclusive show review!

The show at Club Europa was set on fire by Havok from Denver, Colorado. A band that has been making plenty of Thrashing noise ever since their inception in 2004. The energy that this band delivered while on stage to the headbangers of New York was lethal and they definitely brought joy to the audience thanks to their positive vibrating Metal. If you haven't checked Havok out, you must!

Next up, was the one and only Goatwhore. A band that ignites any venue up thanks to the crushing in your face Blackened Death Metal that's delivered with precision by Ben Falgoust and company. When this band steps on stage nobody is allowed to stand still, and if they do, they might be ran over by the members of the pit. There is no question that when Goatwhore comes to New York City, the most extreme Metalheads leave their basements to pay homage to one of the most crushing Heavy Metal bands today. If you missed them this time around, they will be returning in 2012 with Lock Up (click here for details)! They will also be releasing their fifth studio album on this upcoming Valentine's Day, how lovely!


Finalizing the night of neck crushing Metal was the mighty Exhumed. Ever since they surfaced in 1990, these guys have been constantly mixing the envelope of Metal with their unique flavors of Gore Metal. From the second they step on stage they are like a stick of dynamite that's ready to explode, and as a result the fans go absolutely ape shit. Their groundbreaking music is to blame for kids going home with a sore neck, a nice buzz, and definitely drenched with sweat, or maybe even some blood. Their NEW songs from "No Guts, No Glory" (available now via Relapse Records) are transmitted effortlessly live; even the faster technical parts sound pretty damn tight. If you haven't seen Exhumed live yet, do your ears and neck a favor by checking these extremists out!


Without further due, here is a video entitled "Triple ThreaT of meTal!", starring Exhumed, Goatwhore, and Havok! Watch and share!



Remaining tour-dates:

11/18/2011 Korova/Goregrowler’s Ball – San Antonio, TX w/ Suffocation
11/19/2011 The Juggernaut – Gallup, NM *
11/20/2011 Orpheum Theatre – Flagstaff, AZ *
* = no Goatwhore

GWAR To Tour Europe In Early 2012 Despite The Death Of Cory Smoot!


Ancient Antarctic Metal marauders GWAR will carry on with their plans to tour Europe in January 2012, despite the recent death of guitarist Cory Smoot, during the bands "Return of the World Maggot Tour".

Said GWAR spokesman Dave Brockie (A.K.A. Oderus Urungus): "When Cory died, we all wanted to go home and take care of the family and our own grief. But the best way to do that is by playing all the shows we have planned. The response from the U.S. Metal community and especially the whole international GWAR family has been overwhelmingly supportive... these GWAR fans need the chance to pay their respects to Cory, and canceling any shows would deprive them of that."

"Let's make these shows a celebration of Cory Smoot, one of the most amazing players in Metal... I am calling on the European GWAR family to get out there and drag everybody in sight to these gigs! We shall honor Flattus Maximus in the only way we know how... by rocking the fuck out!!!"

The Smoots, GWAR, and Metal Blade Records have created the "Smoot Family Fund", and GWAR and Slave Pit are calling on the Metal community to support Cory's family in this tragic time. Donations can be made here.

"C'mon everybody from our Rock star buddies to the most zit-covered bohab,"said Brockie. "Cory had a growing family that is going to need help-for a long time. Of course GWAR is doing everything we can, and we need you to help as well.

If you would prefer to donate to the Smoot Family Fund by mail, the address is:

Slave Pit Inc. (C/O Smoot Family Fund)
PO Box 5225
Richmond, VA 23220

The band has officially retired the character of Flattus Maximus, and will finish the U.S. and Europe tours as a four-piece. GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus had this to say about their missing lead guitarist.

"Flattus, without our permission I might add, has stolen our Skumship and returned to his beloved home planet, Planet Home. So once again we are marooned on your miserable planet!"

Check out this amazing video tribute to Cory:



For 27 years GWAR's relentless tour schedule and bristling release schedule have been evidence of the bands fanatical dedication to not only their fans but Metal itself. GWAR's decision to continue on with these tours has put that dedication to the test like nothing before. Now more than ever they need your support. HAIL FLATTUS, AND HAIL GWAR!

Black Sabbath Announce European Tourdates!

Last Friday (November 11th), the pioneers of Heavy Metal, the legendary band Black Sabbath, announced that they will be recording a new album in 2012 with producer Rick Rubin! The band also announced that they are planning a World Tour! The band is estimated to earn the musicians £100 million a piece, that's around $159 million, meaning each member of the band could take home up to £25 million (approximately $40 million)!

Black Sabbath attempted to record a new album in 1998, but had to abandon the project due to personal issues within the band and as a result only released two songs as part of a concert album entitled "Reunion". Following the "Reunion" tour that took place that same year, the band reunited sporadically in 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2005 for select concerts. The last time that the quartet of doom appeared together, was at their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006.

Today (November 18th), Black Sabbath has announced a chunk of European tour-dates.

Here they are:

- May 18: Moscow, Russia - Olimpiski
- May 20: St. Petersburg, Russia - New Arena
- May 23: Helsinki, Finland - Hartwall Arena
- May 25: Stockholm, Sweden - Stadium
- May 29: Bergen, Norway - Bergen Calling Festival

"The title "The Path of Totality" refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time.

The complete concert, previously seen last year on TV and online in an abbreviated form, will be offered in its entirety to those who purchase the deluxe version.

RIOT - Full Album Stream Available!


The wait is nearly over! Legendary US Metal outfit RIOT are releasing their hugely anticipated fourteenth album 'Immortal Soul' in North America via SPV/Steamhammer this coming Tuesday, November 22nd.

Today, you can listen to RIOT's NEW album 'Immortal Soul', courtesy of Metal Insider!

Riot's "Immortal Soul" by metalinsider

Here is a promo video created by the band, featuring a song from the album: "Wings Are for Angels".



This was released earlier this year for a Japanese Tsunami relief album by Avalon/Marquee, and it earned massive positive feedback already. The album "Immortal Soul" was released last week by Avalon/Marquee in Japan and it received #2 in the most prestigious magazine BURRN! Right behind the highly anticipated new Chickenfoot album.

"Wow, this is quite an achievement" comments Tony Moore. Chickenfoot is an all star band and gets hyped across the world. And we are next in line? This is awesome! Thank you Japan, we sure want to be out there as soon as possible in 2012.

Tony Moore, who is still recovering from an oral surgery, adds: "We are really happy about all that positive feedback for 'Immortal Soul', but equally for the fact that Riot is back. Journalists all over the world give us the highest marks and speak about this album very highly. We have interviews on a daily basis and I believe every magazine on this planet has a Riot story in their current/next issue."

Right now Riot is about to confirmed a few US shows in early 2012 - dates and venues to be revealed soon - and are looking forward to play the 70,000 tons of Metal Cruise in January.













"Immortal Soul" track listing:

01. Riot
02. Still Your Man
03. Crawling
04. Wings Are For Angels
05. Fall Before Me
06. Sins Of The Father
07. Majestica

Sister - Video Premiere Of 'Bullshit & Backstabbing' + Video Interview Available!

Swedish sleaze and Punk influenced Metal band Sister have just released their second music video off their brand new album 'HATED', for the track "Bullshit & Backstabbing"! Watch the brand new clip below, courtesy of Metal-Hammer.de!

Here's what the band had to say about their new video: "The video for "Bullshit & Backstabbing" is the first video we've done with a crew behind the cameras. The song is a favorite of the album 'HATED' for all of us in the band and it felt right to make a video of it. We found a greasy spot to shoot it at and got to work. Like always we wanted to keep it on a basic level and just do a video with what Sister is all about Just deliver the Punk Rock we've always done. This is what we do and the video crew Bröderna Blom and Tinnerholm got it down and made it sick. Check it! P.S.: No animals were seriously harmed during the shooting of this video!"



Sister, who hails from Stockholm/Jönkoping Sweden, formed in early 2006 working hard to build up a name as a strong act both live and in the studio. Sister consists of 4 members - Jamie on vocals, Lestat on guitars and backing vocals, Rikki on bass and backing vocals, and Cari on drums and backing vocals - who combine the sounds of Punk, Glam, Rock, and Metal with an end result sounding something like the bastard child of GG Allin and Guns N' Roses.

Sister's Metal Blade debut 'HATED' came crashing through the Metal scene, beer in hand, on June 7th.

Corey Taylor's Lecture At Oxford University - Part 2 (Video Available)

Wino & Conny Ochs Collaboration Complete; Set To Be Released In Early 2012!

The folks at Germany’s avant-rock source Exile On Mainstream Records are thrilled to report that the final master for "Heavy Kingdom", the anticipated collaborative album by Wino and Conny Ochs has arrived at label headquarters, and the final details on the album’s release are being finalized.

The legacy of Scott “Wino” Weinrich in the world of Heavy Music is indisputable and ever evolving, and here he teams up with Conny Ochs, a songwriter so pure and honest in his output that he seems to be the perfect partner for the straightforward Weinrich. The two met for the first time in 2010 when Conny was supporting Wino on his acoustic solo tour promoting his acclaimed solo album, "Adrift". Through music they discovered a very similar approach to life and art, and a shared wisdom in creating music. It really seemed like two souls becoming one after they got to know each other. Together the two wrote, performed and recorded an incredible set of soulful tunes that speak for themselves, as well as a Townes Van Zandt cover. The artwork contains drawings by both Weinrich and Ochs, and follows the dedicated and deeply personal approach of the whole album. Here is the cover art for "Heavy Kingdom":


Heavy Kingdom Track Listing:

1. Somewhere Nowhere
2. Heavy Kingdom
3. Dust
4. Vultures By The Vines
5. Dark Ravine
6. Traces Of Blood
7. Heavy Kingdom Jam
8. Highway Kind
9. Dead Yesterday
10. Here Comes The Siren
11. Labour Of Love

"Heavy Kingdom" will be released throughout Europe on January 27th, 2012 and in North America sometime in March, a final release date to be confirmed in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned for tracks from the record to be released in the near future, as well as the details on a month-long European tour being finalized for March and April.

Coheed and Cambria Announce Replacement For Chris Pennie & Enter The Studio!


2011 has been a tough year for Coheed and Cambria, not only did drummer Chris Pennie decided to call it quits earlier this month, but they also had to fire their bassist Michael Todd after he was arrested by Attleboro, MA Police this past July, after showing a Walgreens pharmacist a note on his cell phone which said he had a bomb and that he wanted some Oxycontin.

Yesterday, the band announced that they will be rejoined by drummer Josh Eppard and that they have entered the studio to work on the follow-up to their 2010 album "Year Of The Black Rainbow". Here is the band's official statement.

"We didn't originally plan to make a big splash about this, but when Chris made his announcement, we were ultimately compelled to. We didn't want anyone to be concerned about the state of the band, and trying to keep things quiet was proving to be really tough. And besides, we're just really excited and wanted to share that feeling with you.

"Chris Pennie is a dear friend, a superb band-mate and one of the best drummers in the world. He brought a workmanship and sense of professionalism to Coheed that completely improved us as a band, and allowed us to reach new heights. He will always be a member of the Coheed family, and we ask you to support all his endeavors.

"As the songs for the new record began twisting into shape, it slowly became apparent that these songs were very dynamic, and could truly flourish with the groove-oriented approach that Josh naturally brings to the table. We also missed Josh as a person — what he meant to us as friends and the energy and humor he exudes. But this isn't about nostalgia; it's about who we are now, and what we can achieve musically and as a family, together going forward.

"We understand there are risks involved bringing Josh back into the fray. Even with his two years of sobriety, this is a giant leap of faith on our part. But at the end of the day, we have all grown up, and we have all been through so much, that playing with Josh again is sort of like coming home. It's comfortable, it's familiar, it just feels right… it's hand in glove.

"Last week, we entered Applehead Studios with Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner to begin work on our sixth studio album. We're three songs in, can't wait to share it."

Portuguese American Metallers CypherSeer Check In From The Studio

CypherSeer are currently in the studio working on their follow up to their last release "Origins". Guitarist Sergio Ribiero has checked in with an update on the bands progress:

"First order of business - CypherSeer would like to announce that for the next record, Martin Brändström from the band Dark Tranquility, will be laying down all the keyboard work. After months searching and speaking with some of the industry's best and most respected keyboardists, Martin just absolutely blew us away with his ideas and playing. We felt an immediate connection and we felt his keyboard style would fit our music the best, since we are aiming for a more updated overall sound on the up-coming record.

"Speaking of our new record... We are currently recording demos to be shipped out for editing, and soon after that, the actual recording will begin. As of right now the projected date for the start of recording is mid January. In terms of the actual songs, we feel that we are getting ever-closer to the sound that defines CypherSeer. We were very meticulous and made sure all the songs were to their absolute potential before we started demoing them. In comparison to "Origins", the new songs are darker, heavier and took an overall ominous direction, which is something absolutely new to us, but at the same time it felt very organic when we were in the writing process. Nothing was forced and we tried to do away with as much "filler" as possible. Also in this next album, we conclude the "Haunted Saga" story, with 3 more songs. The story ends in a dramatic, epic battle that makes one think if such thing is possible - no lack of creativity here."

CypherSeer will be playing a few shows in between the recording: January 6th at Kaza Rock in Newark, NJ (other bands in the bill TBD) and on January 11th at The Gramercy Theater in New York City with legendary Metal band Sanctuary.

We also have setup an online store - CypherSeer.bigcartel.com - selling all our t-shirts. More merchandise to be added soon.

CypherSeer's latest release "Origins" is available for purchase HERE.

The vision, sound, and drive are completely in sync, as a new era begins...

Toxic Holocaust Announce 2012 North American Tour - Tourdates Available!


Portland, Oregon's Punk Metal badasses Toxic Holocaust will hit the road again in 2012 for a two-week stretch of dates alongside English Dogs, The Casualties and Havok! The tour will be fired up on February 10 in Baltimore at the Ottobar and trek its way towards the West Coast, and extinguished on February 25 in Santa Ana at the Galaxy Theatre.

Toxic Holocaust will be touring in support of their critically-lauded "Conjure And Command" full-length released via Relapse Records earlier this year.

Commented About.com of the release: "Masters of the hook and the earworm, TOXIC HOLOCAUST will have Conjure And Command playing in my head for a long time." Cvlt Nation noted: "TOXIC HOLOCAUST have given fans a record that they will be able to devour now and for fucking years to come," while The Onion's A.V. Club added: "sweetly redolent of thrash, d-beat, and raw sewage, the album simmers with tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing. If this is what TOXIC HOLOCAUST’s next decade is going to look like, bring it on." The Washingcity Paper agreed: "...it’s refreshing to hear a thrash band that is so single-minded about its whirlwind riffs and pastor-baiting lyrics."

"Conjure And Command" is out now internationally and available across several formats including a limited edition, deluxe CD and DVD set that includes a full Toxic Holocaut live show. The album is available for purchase through Relapse HERE and iTunes HERE. In addition, "Conjure And Command" is streaming in its entirety below!

Black Tusk Discuss Their Unique Soundscape From These Years Metalsuckfest!

Savannah, Georgia's Black Tusk have been busy taking names on the road ever since the release of their new studio album entitled "Set The Dial" (released on October 25th via Relapse Records). The bands latest effort was produced by Jack Endino (Soundgarden, High On Fire, Skeletonwitch). Set the Dial’s ten tracks cook like the Savannah heat, raising up their signature brand of primal, triple-vocal, chromatic madness, and tattooing it across canyon-wide grooves.

Recently, the band performed at the first annual Metalsuckfest at The Gramercy Theatre in New York City. Prior to the bands demolishing set, we had the chance to chat with the entire band about the bands sonic approach and about their future plans. Set the dial to 11 and pay close attention!




Black Tusk is currently on the road with Thou and MonstrO on select dates. Here are the remaining tour-dates.

- Nov. 16: Little Rock, AR at Downtown Music (w/ Thou, MonstrO)
- Nov. 17: Nashville, TN at The End (w/ Thou, MonstrO)

CKY/World Under Blood Guitarist Deron Miller Shows Off NEW Jackson "Warrior" Guitars & Encourages Fans To Submit Suggestions For Riff Lessons!

CKY/World Under Blood guitarist/vocalist, Deron Miller, recently inked a new sponsorship deal with Jackson Guitars, and he’s posted a video on YouTube (which you can see below) to show off his new hardware. Miller is excited to start ripping his brand new Jackson “Warrior,” and he is calling on fans to let him know what riffs from any of his projects they’d like to learn. Miller will field all the requests via Facebook, YouTube and email, and plans on recording video guitar lessons on his Flipcam. Tune into the video message to find out how you can get in touch.

Miller, who recently parted ways with longtime sponsor, Parker Guitars, is more than excited to begin this new relationship with Jackson. Said Miller, “I get emails, I get responses, I get photo sessions, and most importantly, I get guitars!”

The “Warrior” model (pictured above) will be Miller’s weapon of choice for all future projects.

Added Miller, “I saw it and was floored. It reminded me of the B.C. Rich Chuck Schuldiner played, and it plays perfect for my fretting hand and picking style. It’s considered a metal guitar I suppose, but the way it plays would work for any kind of music.”



Miller’s most recent project, the melodic Death Metal outfit, World Under Blood, released its debut album, "Tactical", in July via Nuclear Blast Records. The full-length can be purchased online through the Nuclear Blast webstore: US webstore and European webstore (Europe), on iTunes or on Amazon.com.

Stay tuned for more info on Deron Miller and World Under Blood.
