“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.”

What if IRON MAN were more metal?

Well, you’d get this: Actually this guy has done quite a few of these great “X Meets Metal” videos- check out his cover of the Skyrim theme, shreddified: And just when you thought “Pacific Rim” couldn’t be more metal than it already...

Article 666

OK, I know, I’m actually a bit late in publishing this, but when one gets to 666 posts, one needs to celebrate- especially if one happens to be a serious metalhead: Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook...

Shreddin’

So Carey sent me a link to his latest post, knowing that, given my strong preferences for heavy metal, I’d get a kick out of it. He was right. It just so happened that while I was listening to the latest offering of highly technical melodic death metal from...

Rust in peace, MEGADETH…

Something is plainly going very wrong in the MEGADETH camp (again). First their drummer quits- then, within hours of that, their lead guitarist quits. All we need now is for Junior to quit and, well, it’ll just be Dave Mustaine left (again). Now don’t get...

Rainbow Rising

Ronnie James Dio. Ritchie Blackmore. Jimmy Bain. Cozy Powell. Tony Carey. And the song “Stargazer”. This was, and is, quite simply one of the GREATEST rock albums OF ALL TIME. About the only thing I’ve ever heard that comes anywhere close to the...

Desert Plains

No deep or interesting point to be made here- just sit back, pop open a beer, and enjoy the pure awesomeness of the legendary JUDAS PRIEST playing one of their greatest songs to the absolute best of their ability, way back in 1982: Share this: Share on X (Opens in new...

He really ISN’T human

Andreas Kisser, the guitarist for the once-legendary Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA- yeah, that band- had some rather amusing things to say about their new drummer, Eloy Casagrande: “The SEPULTURA music, it’s very demanding drum-wise,” Andreas...

Unfortunate angst

One week before I left the US for my little six-month sojourn to the warm and pleasantly sunny miserably cold, wet, and wind-swept northern realm of the United Kingdom (of Depressing Weather), I had the opportunity to see not one, but two of my favourite...

Happy HELLOWEEN 2014

It’s that time of year again, when you see guys dressed like idiots and girls dressed like… well, slutty idiots. Not, of course, that I’m complaining; Halloween is one of those holidays that allows us to celebrate the blessings of sexual dimorphism...

Trinity

What happens when you take the three greatest singers in the history of heavy metal, get them all standing on the same stage, and singing a brutal three-minute blowout? Well… this: Hear that? It was the sound of your brain assploding from the sheer...
