Metal Up Your Ass

Metal Up Your Ass: TGINSPDA (Thank God It's Not St. Patty's Day Anymore) Edition

metalupyourassThere is a lot to be frustrated about today. The pope still thinks that condoms worsens the spreading of AIDS. A bunch of bumbling morons still wearing their kelly green t-shirts are hungover and more dangerous than yesterday. AND K-Rock ditched the bullshit hard rock to play Beyonce all day (I didn't believe it until I turned the radio on in my car on yesterday). But, at least the internet is as cool as a Nordic winter, with all its information sharing. So chill out and click away.

SIDE PROJECT ALERT

Celan, another Unsane spinoff, has material coming out soon but for now you can check out their myspace

BIZARRE NEWS SHARE OF THE DAY

Japanese metallers Dir En Grey will be conducting "careful" confirmations that only dudes are attending their "male only" concerts, which leads me to believe that members of the band will finally show their vaginas on stage.

Reviews

"An exceptional blend of classic and modern Opeth whose unified approach is both alluring and slightly problematic."
