Machine Head interview

Robb Flynn faces his demons and Phil Demmel won't fake it, even for a grammy. Recorded at the Pearl Room in Mokena, IL on the early 2008 More Balls More Volume More Strength tour with Hellyeah, Nonpoint and Bury Your Dead.

How much louder can it be? None. None more louder.

An exciting development here in Antibiotic Resistant land. Keep your faces well lubricated: we'll be showing up to blow them off your skulls at the nascent juggernaut of NONELOUDER.COM, right alongside editors Iann Robinson, Scott Ian, Otep, and Sirius Radio's Jose Mangin. I'm warning you: don't point any magnets at Nonelouder - the flying metal will decapitate you.

Coming up next week is my interview with Robb and Phil from MACHINE FUCKING HEAD.

Amon Amarth Interview

DC Gunnison here, folks...I'm still a little distraught. It was really hard to get through the editing process having to watch this over and over, but I've managed to pull myself together as best I can to get this done for you...and for Johnny. This is an interview with Ted Lundström and Johan Hegg of viking death metal band Amon Amarth. Recorded at the Chicago House of Blues during their winter 2007 tour with Sonic Syndicate and Himsa.

Be sure to download the Hermod's Ride to Hel script to follow along during that segment.

Valhall awaits you, Johnny.

Macabre's Holiday of Horrors South

I'll break from the usual multimedia extravaganza to let you know that Macabre's Holiday of Horrors at the Pearl Room (a sweet venue unfortunately-for-me located in Mokena, where God left his shoes) with Divorced, Thorn Fetish and Whorrid was a killer show, and the first one in a while that I got to enjoy as a fan as opposed to running around with my video crew.

Divorced seemed bored, which rubbed off on me and gave me plenty of time to ponder which Macabre shirt I was going to buy. Thorn Fetish was tight and had a good image/schtick. I thought they were great, but they seemed a bit hair metal for the bill. Whorrid was fantastic, and obviously someone in the band works in a metal shop, because they've got all sorts of really dangerous looking brushed metal logos all over everything. Whorrid, if you're reading this, please keep in mind that someone in the band could easily slip and impale himself on that spiky logo mounted to the front of the drumset...which would make for an awesome show.

Goes without saying that Macabre was mindblowing. They'll be kicking ass as long as there are new serial killers to write songs about. They're clever, brutal and talented, and they have the best fastest drummer in metal, period, hands down.
