Jose Mangin: Pantera Jam With Anthrax, Jeff Hanneman's Memorial At The Golden Gods Awards!

Heavy Music history was written on Thursday, May 2 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, CA. Not only did the Revolver Golden Gods Awards welcome the elite of the music we all love, but the energy inside the sold out venue was incomparable. Here is a scoop of who won what, and who performed with whom. 

Right after the event was concluded with a historical performance by METALLICA, we ran into Jose Mangin (Sirius XM) right outside the venue! Jose was pretty speechless and emotional after thousands of headbangers paid tribute to SLAYER's Jeff Hanneman at the fifth edition of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. During this interview, which was crashed by LAPD, we chatted about the growth of the Golden Gods Awards and how the fans have risen to the occasion year after year. Check it out now!

The entire event was dedicated to SLAYER's Jeff Hanneman, who passed away recently from liver failure. Details HERE!

Last month, the remaining members of SUICIDE SILENCE - Chris Garza, Mark Heylmun, Alex Lopez and Dan Kenny - were joined by many of Heavy Music's finest to pay tribute to their frontman Mitch Lucker. Video footage available HERE!

The Heavy Music world was struck last year by the very sad news that Mitchell Adam Lucker passed away at the young age of 28 (More information HERE). According to the Los Angeles Times, Lucker struck a light pole near the intersection of Main and 13th streets and was thrown from his 2013 Harley Davidson. The motorcycle continued sliding south on Main Street and struck a northbound 2007 Nissan Titan pickup.

"SiriusXM honors the memory of the late Suicide Silence singer Mitch Lucker with exclusive interviews from some of those who knew and loved him best – members of Hellyeah, Machine Head, As I Lay Dying, and the rest of Suicide Silence from the memorial to Mitch recorded last month at the Fox Theatre in Pomona, CA.

SEVENDUST Breaks The Silence & Announce Their NEW Album Title!

As previously reported, Atlanta, Georgia's SEVENDUST has completed production of their ninth studio album. The CD was recorded at Architekt Music studios in Butler, New Jersey with engineer Mike Ferretti. Today, the band has announced that their NEW studio album is called "Black Out The Sun" and they plan to release it in April of 2013. The CD was recorded at Architekt Music studios in Butler, New Jersey with engineer Mike Ferretti. Here is what guitarist Clint Lowery told "Source Of The Sound With Wendy Campbell" about the bands NEW album:

"It's a basic SEVENDUST record. There's nothing, like, too completely different than anything we've done before. It's got a darker vibe to it. We've got a good amount of the programming element in there. It's a lot of what we do — it's heavy and it's got its melodic element in it. So if you're a SEVENDUST fan, it's more along the lines of the second and third records we did — it's kind of like that. It's got a couple of throwback vibes to it. 'Animosity' [2002] and 'Home' [1999], if I can put those two records together, it would [sound similar to the new CD]."

Lowery has also announced that SEVENDUST might be joining forces with LACUNA COIL and COAL CHAMBER in 2013!

SEVENDUST 2012 is:

- Lajon Witherspoon
- John Connolly
- Clint Lowery
- Vince Hornsby
- Morgan Rose

PHILM: BLACK SABBATH Cover Of "Symptom Of The Universe" With Rob Dukes (EXODUS/GENERATION KILL)!

Last night, SLAYER's Dave Lombardo performed a very intimate set with his NEW power trio PHILM.  The event took place at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey, and also featured Rob Dukes' GENERATION KILL, LOW ROAD, HAMMER FIGHT and ONE BREAK DOWN. Additionally, Jose Mangin (SIRIUS XM) hosted and DJed the event.

During PHILM's excellent performance, the band performed the majority of their NEW album 'Harmonic' (available now via Ipecac Recordings). While the band is still getting used to playing live shows together and their sound does get lost in translation at times, seeing Dave Lombardo perform in a small club will forever live in the Metallic memories of all the fans who attended.

At the very end of their set, PHILM welcomed EXODUS/GENERATION KILL vocalist Rob Dukes and they collectively performed a badass cover of BLACK SABBATH's "Symptom Of The Universe". Stop what you are doing and watch it now!



PHILM and GENERATION KILL will be performing tonight in Trenton, New Jersey at The Backstage at Championship Bar!

PHILM's debut album, 'Harmonic', is set for a May 15 release via Ipecac Recordings. The 15-track release was recorded in 2011 with members Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Pancho Tomaselli (WAR) and Gerry Nestler (Civil Defiance) collectively writing the release and utilizing vintage recording equipment during the recording sessions, giving the music a unique flavor AOL Noisecreep called "crunchy, Thrashy, yet thoroughly unclassifiable."

Headbangers Ball Interview With Corey Taylor From Slipknot & Stone Sour!

The multi-talented Corey Taylor recently concluded the book tour for his debut literal work entitled "Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good". The idea came about after Corey was done writing the book and voicing the audio book. Taylor felt it would be fun to present the book to his fans by having a solo tour that offers his fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Corey up close and personal. The event dubbed as "An Evening With Corey Taylor" was an absolute hit, and if you live in Las Vegas for New Year's make sure you check out Taylor's final solo performance of 2011 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Prior to the recent "An Evening With Corey Taylor" tour stop in New York City, Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour was interviewed by Jose Mangin from Sirius XM Liquid Metal and MTV2.com's Headbangers Ball. Here is what went down!
