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...

No, don’t worry, the title isn’t what you think. It’s just been a while since I posted up some good strong manly heavy metal- the kind designed to put hair on a man’s already hirsute chest. First up- apparently, it is in fact possible to blend...

Given the DISGUSTING weather outside today, I figure a good solid dose of metal should help lighten the mood- starting with, of course, the greatest of them all. IRON MAIDEN: IMPELLITTERI – with perhaps the fastest guitarist on Earth: GALLOWS’ END...
