SLAYER Accused of Causing a Murder (Acusan a SLAYER de un Asesinato)!


Blabbermouth
reports that a delusional man, who claimed that a gun was held to his head in a 2011 incident that according to him involved SLAYER, is too imcompetent to face trial after assassinating, chopping up, and dumping the corpse of his father into the woods in Richmond, Maine.

Leroy Smith III, a 25-year-old scumbag, admitted to have killed his father Leroy Smith Jr. in May of 2014.

This past Monday (January 5), during the competency hearing at an Augusta, Maine courtroom, Smith tried to address the judge, who repeatedly told Smith that if he spoke, he would be kicked out from the courtroom.

This is what he had to say:

"I have something I want to say.

"With my case, they're telling me that my story is delusional grandiose of proceedings that happened, and they're not investigating it.

"The fact of the matter [is that] in 2011 I had a gun pointed to my head and was sworn to keep secret of what I am. And they refused investigating any persons that are responsible. The whole entire music group SLAYER was there. I was told then that what they did was too overboard. I sent them a message on Facebook and that Jeff Hanneman, the guitarist, takes his own life. He took his own life May 5 of 2013."


After Justice Donald Marden told Smith to put what he had to say in writing through his attorneys and to sit down or be removed, Smith responded:"Then I have no fair trial."

Smith's attorney Pamela Ames told WABI: "To be able to establish any sort of attorney-client relationship is impossible. He thinks our role is to subpoena society and to subpoena certain Heavy Metal bands to come to explain why they won't let him play with them."

All in all, Leroy Smith III will be rotting in prison while SLAYER keep dominating the world!

Versión en Español:


Blabbermouth a publicado un reporte en el cual indica que un hombre delirante, quien dice haber sido apuntado en la cabeza con una pistola en un incidente que segun el tiene que ver con SLAYER, es demasiado incoherente para ser juzgado despues de asesinar, cortar, y botar el cuerpo de su padre en un bosque de Richmond, Maine.

Leroy Smith III, un tipo de 25 años de edad, admitió haber asesinado a su padre (Leroy Smith Jr.) en Mayo del 2014.

Este pasado Lunes (Enero 5), durante la audiencia de competencia en una sala de tribunal de Augusta, Maine, Smith intento hablar con el juez, quien varias veces le tuvo que decir a Smith que si hablaba, lo echaba de la sala.

Esto fue lo que dijo Smith:

" Tengo algo que decir.

Con mi caso, me estan diciendo que mi historia no es coherente de acuerdo a la investigacion de lo que ocurrio, y no estan investigandolo.

El hecho es que en el 2011 me apuntaron con una pistola en la cabeza y me hicieron jurar que no diría quien soy yo. Después se negaron a investigar a la gente responsable del incidente. Todos los miembros de SLAYER son testigos. En ese momento me dijeron que lo que hicieron fue demasiado exajerado. Yo les mande un mensaje por Facebook, y el guitarrista Jeff Hanneman se quito la vida. El se quito la vida el 5 de Mayo del 2013."

Después de que el juez Donald Marden le dijo a Smith que escribiera lo que quiere decir y que le entregara su escrito a sus abogados, o sino la sacaba de la sala, Smith dijo: "Entonces, no me están ofreciendo un juicio justo."

Pamela Ames, abogada de Smith, le dijo a WABI: "Poder establecer cualquier tipo de relación responsable entre abogado y cliente es imposible. El cree que somos parte de una conspiración en contra de el y que ciertas bandas del Heavy Metal son los culpables ya que no lo dejaron tocar con ellos."

¡La verdad es que Leroy Smith III estará pudriéndose en una cárcel, mientras que los de SLAYER seguirán dominando el mundo entero!

AC/DC just announced their very first U.S. concert of 2015 in support of their NEW album entitled Rock Or Bust (available now via Columbia Records)!

The legendary Australian Rock N' Roll band will be headlining the Friday concerts of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Coachella, which is scheduled to take place from April 10 - 12 and April 17 - 19 in Indio, California. AC/DC will be performing on Friday, April 10th and Friday April 17th.

Unfortunately, Rock or Bust is the first AC/DC album in the band’s 41 year history without founding member Malcolm Young.

Members of KISS to open NEW restaurant tomorrow!


This is very cool! Kiss co-founders Gene 
Simmons and Paul Stanley will be opening a third location of their restaurant called "Rock & Brews" tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8, on PCH in Torrance.

"Often this idea of themed restaurants means that it's an excuse for crap food," self-described "foodie" Stanley tells us on-site, as power tools fizz and pound around him in the airy building jutting into a busy intersection. "The idea here is not crap food. It's craft beer; it's artisan pizzas; it's food, arguably, that you couldn't serve at home, but wish you could."

In partnership with concert industry veterans Dave and Dell Furano, and restaurateur Michael Zislis, Stanley and Simmons opened their first Rock & Brews restaurant in El Segundo in April 2012, and another in Los Cabos, Mexico, in March. Rock & Brews LAX is set to open in that airport's Delta Airlines Terminal this summer, followed by an Agoura location in the fall. Locations in Maui, Hawaii and Kansas City, Missouri are also scheduled.
In its unfinished state, the 5,400-square-foot Rock & Brews PCH recalls a Hard Rock Café or similar rock 'n' roll-themed eatery. Bold prints of music icons (including Tom Petty, AC/DC, Bob Marley and, yes, Kiss) enliven dining room and patio walls, while a trio of guitar necks, presumably intended for display, lay stacked on a table.
"It's like being backstage at a rock concert and it's also like being in your living room," says Stanley, who is 61. "Never kid yourself -- everybody wants to be a rock star!"

TOXIC HOLOCAUST's 'From The Ashes...' Is Streaming Now!

Portland’s favorite Punk/Metal delinquents TOXIC HOLOCAUST are featured on the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' compilation that was released earlier this week via Relapse Records.

The monolithic 22-track anthology compiles over a decade’s worth of TOXIC HOLOCAUST rarities into one maniacal compilation of hostile bliss. Amassing the band’s many contributions to various comps and vinyl-only splits with the likes of Municipal Waste, Midnight and others, alongside demo versions of timeless TOXIC classics, 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a historic romp through the history of one of today’s most revered Punk Metal deviants.


Listen to this awesome compilation now, courtesy of Revolver Magazine 




TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic Punk and Metal into his ideal band. Like his influences – Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones – TOXIC HOLOCAUST offers up blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world wrapped in a DIY attitude.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST Premiere Lyric Video For “Agony of the Damned”


Portland’s favorite Punk/Metal delinquents TOXIC HOLOCAUST recently unleashed a NEW lyric video for “Agony of the Damned.” Initially featured on the band’s 2011 'Conjure and Command' full-length, “Agony Of The Damned” makes an “updated” appearance on the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' compilation, set for release via Relapse Records next month. 

Elaborates band mastermind Joel Grind: “This version of ‘Agony of the Damned’ was recorded in September of 2010 with a drum machine a few months before we stepped into the studio to record the one that appears on 'Conjure and Command'. When making an album, I usually demo out the entire thing before I step into a studio. This keeps costs low and gives me time to sit with it to iron out the details. Since 'Conjure and Command' was the first TOXIC record to feature a full band, this demo served the purpose of familiarizing everyone with the new material and is previously unreleased.” 

Lay your peepers on the video now!



'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a gargantuan 22-track anthology that compiles over a decade’s worth of TOXIC HOLOCAUST rarities into one raging compilation of antagonistic bliss. Amassing the band’s many contributions to various comps and vinyl-only splits with the likes of Municipal Waste, Midnight and others, alongside demo versions of treasured TOXIC classics, 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a historic romp through the history of one of today’s most revered, gritty, old-school Metal bands.


'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' will see release through Relapse Records on April 2nd in North America, March 29th in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland and Benelux and April 1st in the UK. Additionally, you can check out the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' teaser video and ordering info HERE.
 

TOXIC HOLOCAUST is currently in the studio working on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to their 2011 'Conjure And Command' full-length. Praised for its “nuclear reactive riffage and Repo Man punk attitude,” by Revolver and commended for its “tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing,” by The Onion’s A.V. Club, 'Conjure And Command' continues to reap hails from fans and critics globally. As an added bonus, the band closed the year with the honor of having the song “Bitch” rear its sonic apocalyptic menace in an episode of high-rated FX drama series Sons Of Anarchy (season 5; episode 11). 

TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic Punk and Metal into his ideal band. Like his influences – Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones – TOXIC HOLOCAUST offers up blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world wrapped in a DIY attitude.
