Well, it's Friday, and while the internet is collectively bummed at the loss of Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch, there was a ton of non-death happenings in the metal world, which I will kindly recap for you…
First off, we implore you to check out On The Record, our new documentary series. We have posted all 5 episodes of the first season, which focused on the last decade in metal, including reunions, the rise of women in metal, the subgenrefication of metal, the internet and of course, looking to the future. So pull out some popcorn, and start watching.
We asked The Black Dahlia Murder's Trevor & Brian 10 questions about weed.
We've begun posted live footage from our recent South by Southwest showcase, including multiple killer live clips of High on Fire, Intronaut, Darkest Hour and Nachtmystium. Watch those, and all of our SXSW 2012 coverage right here.
We posted new music videos this week from FUCK THE FACTS, CHILDREN OF BODOM, 1349, GOROD, KREATOR, FIREWIND, OBEY THE BRAVE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, ARCH ENEMY, EVERY TIME I DIE, DECAPITATED and STICK TO YOUR GUNS.
Oderus sent in his final update from GWAR's tour as part of our just finished "Eye of Oderus" series.
It looks like Slipknot will be recording in 2013.
We were bummed to hear that guitarist Jeff Hanneman won't be able to perform with Slayer this summer due to that nasty snake bite.
We got full details on the upcoming Mayhem Festival Cruise, which features Lamb of God, Machine Head, Suicide Silence, Hatebreed and more.
We'll see you on Sunday for an all new edition of the RIP a Livecast.
