Megadeth and Slayer officially announce the 2010 American Carnage Tour

The Clash of the Titans 1991 tour was one of the most epic and spectacular series of metal gigs to ever have graced the planet, basically making various venues in the US  and Europe the very center of the scene for a day. Now, Megadeth and Slayer are set to embark on a tour of [...]

Album name: Blue Record Artist name: Baroness Genre: Sludge Metal Released: October 13, 2009 Label: Relapse ZME Rating: 9/10 Website: myspace.com/yourbaroness Red and blue are  interesting colors. They are two of the three “addictive primary colors,” the third being green. Red, generally signifying anger in modern culture, is assuredly addictive in American society: road rage, “You lie!,” talk radio, you get it. [...]

Wednesday Smilejerker: Ye Ol’ Pirate Metal!

Metal can something be sooo ridiculous versatile. A few days ago I came across this band called Alestorm, a true Norwegian Black Metal Scottish Pirate Metal band, that’s simply hilarious in everything from lyrics, to music, to props. Not that I’m saying they’re a bunch of clowns or lame, oh, on the contrary, Alestorm is [...]

The Black Dahlia Murder: ‘Deflorate’

Grammys Can’t Headbang

Yes, this column is months and months late. Get over it. I wasn’t writing for ZME in February and, more importantly, I have a valid point to make. So here we go. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences doesn’t know shit about music. The Grammy Awards used to mean something and were actually worth [...]

Concert Review; AC/DC in Barcelona

It was a sweet day when we decided to go in Barcelona to see the Australian living legends. So, along with game master Tibi Puiu, a few friends and a handful of whisky and tequila bottles we head out for Spain’s cultural capital. We tried to visit as much as possible there, so we missed [...]

Mastodon ‘frighten’ David Letterman @ Late Show

Just recently Mastodon were invited to play a tune on David Letterman’s Late Show in the usual post-show format. The experience, apparently, left Dave a bit ‘frighten,’ but I’m pretty convinced he’s now gone past it and erased the show out of his memory altogether. Can’t be hard at all, considering Mastodon’s performance was completely [...]

Lacuna Coil: ‘Shallow Life’

Album name: Shallow life Artist name: Lacuna Coil Genre: Metal…ish Released: April 20, 2009 Label: Century Media ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: Lacuna Coil The first thing that has to be said about this album is they’ve worked with producer Don Gilmore, who also teamed up with Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park, so at first I was thinking this album is [...]

RATM Frontman Releases New Video

I’m pretty confused about as to where RATM stand at the moment: they split up in 2000 only to reunite to tour 7 years later, but pretty much all the members are involved in other projects that are recording albums, only RATM is not recording. One Day As A Lion is made up of frontman Zach [...]
