“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Stormtroopers meet death metal

It doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t even have to be all that good. It just looks BADASS: You want to know the sad thing about this? That 2.5min clip is almost certainly better than every single STAR WARS movie that has been or ever will be...

Pumpkins United

In anticipation of the upcoming “Pumpkins United” tour in 2018, which will see Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen- the great-granddaddy of power metal himself- returning to HELLOWEEN after nearly thirty years apart, the Happy Happy Helloweenies have released a...

5 MORE WEEKS?!?

Why, Lord, must You torment us so?! Surely we have waited long enough for the second season of THE GRAND TOUR?!! Oh well. If the Hilldebeast isn’t going to jail and those Antifa bastards aren’t going to be shot on sight for rioting anytime soon, at...

Beta as…

Well, you know: Dear God Almighty. I need to go HURT something after watching that. Actually, Davis Aurini’s comment about the two, er, “guys” who made that video is accurate: they’re not Betas, they’re Gammas. (Assuming that the...

Eine kleine nachtmetall

With apologies to German purists, and seeing as how symphonic metal band XANDRIA just got rid of their third singer, I figured it might be time to indulge in a little more than the usual dose of extremely nerdy classically inspired symphonic metal. I’m not...

We all need more Viking metal

I came across a new band today called BROTHERS OF METAL, who sound… well, pretty damn interesting. Imagine taking the death metal growling and Viking imagery found in the work of AMON AMARTH, the power and melody of TYR, the folk-metal groove of FINNTROLL or...

A little metal never hurt nobody

Well… if you really want to be pedantic, I suppose that getting hit by a wrecking ball or being pinned under heavy steel girders would put paid to that notion in an awfully big hurry. Of course, that’s not what I call “a little...

Shitlord in Chief

The supporters of the God-Emperor of Mankind continue to show us that, yet again, that nobody out-trolls the Troll King: As far as I am concerned, I am quite fed up of listening to the Hilldebeast’s constant whining and bleating about how that big bad...

“If you’re not into metal…”

… then you are not my friend! Or at least, that is how the excessively oiled up, excessively leather-clad cartoon characters that make up the American metal stalwarts MANOWAR would have you believe they think. As for me, personally, I really couldn’t care...

Needs work, Leo

Our crazy metalhead buddy Leo Moracchioli just posted a cover of one of my favourite soft-rock songs from the 80s, “Africa” by TOTO, and… well, it leaves perhaps something to be desired: Compare that to the original: (That, by the way, is an example...
