EVERY TIME I DIE Concert In Toledo, Ohio Cut Short After Gun Shots!

This past Saturday, April 13, EVERY TIME I DIE were performing at the Jamboree Festival in Toledo, Ohio when gun shots were fired while they were performing. The band obviously cut their set short. Here is what the band had to say about this incident:

"We apologize to everyone at Jamboree that stuck around only to see our set cut short. When guns are involved there is a venue protocol. Maintaining safety while trying to avoid a panic riot is a tightrope walk that not many have practiced. We hope that everyone is safe."

"I wont use tonights event to push an agenda.I’ll just say that the social contract our community honors was broken by the ONE. not the many." - Keith Buckley

"Apologies to Jamboree Fest in Toledo. We came in hot, but some idiot came in hotter with a gun. Safety 1st. See ya in the summer." - Steve Micciche
  
"Gunshots interrupting our set? That’s a new one. Sorry we couldn’t finish the set guys." Ryan “Legs” Leger 

No casualties have been reported at this time. Thank goodness!!!

GWAR has released the first line-up for the 2013 GWAR-B-Q, located at Hadad's Water Park in Richmond, VA. This year sees the event entering its fourth consecutive year while offering its most bone-crushing line-up yet, setting the stage for what will certainly be the most massive GWAR-B-Q in the history of the human or any other race!

The event is scheduled to take place Saturday August 17th, 2013 at Hadad's Water Park in Richmond, VA, located at 7900 Osbourne Turnpike. Doors will open at 10:00 AM and the first band will hit the stage at 11:00 AM. For more information be sure to visit: http://gwarbq.com. Ticket information will be announced soon.

Local faves and international Thrashers Municipal Waste will provide main support to the mighty GWAR, and in turn will be supported by a plethora of devastating acts like Corrosion of Conformity, Pig Destroyer, Cannabis Corpse, Loincloth, Kung-Fu Dykes and many more. Once again Hadad's will host not one but TWO stages which will be packed with bands all day… and finally there are rumors of a yet-to-be-announced act that will put this year's GWAR-B-Q 2013 completely over the top!

"Once again we blow the horn of war and set into motion the gears that grind us towards the greatest GWAR-B-Q yet," said unrepentantly horny front-thing Oderus Urungus, fresh off debuting GWAR's new "GWAR-B-Q" sauce at a strongly attended event at the world-famous Grinders in Kansas City (see more details HERE). "We will not only be rockin' like Dokken and slippin' the cock in, but we will shoving a wealth of GWAR products down your throat…not only our new GWAR-B-Q sauce, but our very own beer, Impaled Ale! Eat and drink yourself into a diabetic stupor, then puke it all up in the slam pit! It's gonna fucking rule!"

Three Years Since The Passing Of "The Man Of STEELE" - Tribute Available!

It has been three years since we got the terrible news of Peter Steele's passing from our good friend Juliya from Fuse TV. That gloomy night we were one of the first media sources to confirm the passing of Peter Steele. As soon as we posted this very sad news, we immediately got a Tweet from former Headbangers Ball host Riki Rachtman. Riki just like all of us, was in complete disbelief about Pete's death. Specially after everyone had witnessed the return of Peter Steele in full force! His last performance in New York City with Type O Negative was absolutely flawless and there was no doubt that he was completely sober the day of his passing.

A day after his passing, we headed over to 3 Of Cups in New York City were there was an unofficial tribute for Peter Steele with some of his close friends and fans. The night was gloomy yet magical. Why magical? Well, the room was full of energy and everyone was embracing each other with respect, while chanting in unison to Carnivore's and Type O Negative's classics. This immediately inspired us to start recoding some sound clips about the legacy and greatness of Peter Steele. This is how our Peter Steele tribute was born.

In order to make our tribute memorable, we decided to contact some close friends of Peter, and ask them to contribute some images of Peter, Type O Negative and Carnivore. Here is what we came up with:







Then at the end of 2010, their was a show that inevitably became a tribute to Peter Steele. Joining forces for a celebration of New York Rock were Life Of Agony, Biohazard, Vision Of Disorder and Seventh Void. The show took place at the Best Buy Theater in New York City, and once again the magic was in the air. This is when we decided to get some clips. Next thing we know, it turned into another tribute to Peter Steele! Here are those video clips:





Finally, here is Biohazard doing their song "Loss" in memory of Peter Steele!



REST IN PEACE Peter, we miss and love you! Thanks for re-igniting the Heavy Music scene! \m/

Vinnie STIGMA: 'For Love & Glory' CD Release Show, Hardcore Culture & The Future Of AGNOSTIC FRONT!

Hardcore ambassador Vinnie Stigma (the Tony Iommi of Hardcore), recently released the follow up to 'New York Blood'. Entitled 'For Love & Glory', the NEW Stigma contains more Punk Rock elements than their previous effort.

On Sunday March 3, STIGMA presented his second solo album 'For Love & Glory' at Bowery Electric in New York City. The show was presented by Black N Blue Productions and also featured NO REDEEMING SOCIAL VALUE (who celebrated their 15th anniversary), TWO MAN ADVANTAGE, BRAIN SLUG, ABJECT and NO DICE.


Right after STIGMA conquered the ear drums of a very energetic audience, we chatted with Vinnie about the CD release show for his NEW solo album. We also discussed the production process behind 'For Blood & Glory', Hardcore culture, and the future of AGNOSTIC FRONT! If you know Vinnie, you know his interviews are legendary. This one is no exception!
