    Nocturnal Rites?

    What happened with this band? We're going on almost a decade with no new material, although last I'd read back in 2010 they were working on an album. They continued to tour into 2012 and then the website just went dark. Facebook page not updated since 2013. I've never heard about an official...

    If you like Baby Metal....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-vje-bq9c Then you probably still won't like this, but it's amusing. New group called LadyBaby. Like Baby Metal, but er.. with one important difference.

    Remember Wings of Pegasus?

    Someone posted their "That's metal" video a couple of years back. I'm guessing it's a one man band now because the video has been redone with just one of the guys in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXK75hkwHKo Not only that, the guy goes on X Factor and totally butchers his own song...

    http://www.contactmusic.com/in-depth/japanese-girlgroup-babymetal-to-support-lady-gaga-on-summer-artrave-tour_4251318 They landed five dates on the Lady Gaga tour. I wonder what Gaga fans will think of that.

    Babymetal debut makes the Billboard 200

    #187. http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200?page=9 I know other metal acts have done better, but I'd think this has got to be the best a foreign-language metal album has ever done. It was a novelty thing at first for me, but after listening to the whole album, this is really...

    Has Ronnie Radke been listening to Dragonforce?

    This song is not representative of the rest of the album at all, this is a metalcore band and the new album has five songs with rap vocals. But this freakin' song sounds like a Dragonforce tribute, from the guitar rhythms, to the speed, to the chorus, to the solos.

    Any chance immigration reform will make Glenn's life easier?

    I've been reading tons of articles on the subject but can't find much of anything on reforming the process that gives festival and tour promoters such headaches. Does anyone know what's being proposed in this regard, or if it's even a priority in Congress?

    US touring halted?

    Have the big power bands mostly stopped trying to tour the US? I notice that we didn't get Edguy, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, or Stratovarius. All those bands toured the US before but are skipping us on their current or most recent tours. It hasn't stopped...

    Now this is different(Avalanch)

    Their 2nd English language album I believe, sampled a random song and to say the least, this is not what I expected. Although the song grows on you.

    New Dragonforce!

    I realize this might come as a shock, but the new Dragonforce is fast. I actually prefer the new singer too.

    Double neck guitars

    What's the purpose of those, and does anyone in metal or hard rock use them anymore? Or did those die with the 80s?

    The origin of the power of metal

    One of the cheesy and wonderful things that separates metal from other genres is the idea in music videos that rock itself has tangible power. Such as this White Wizzard video, where they vanquish a jazz-loving warlock with the sheer power of their metal: Or this Twisted Sister video, the...

    Redemption song a Tea party anthem?

    Was just listening to Leviathan Rising for the first time on Youtube and I was surprised at the lyrics. Here they are, for those who haven't heard the song: http://www.lyricsaholic.com/redemption-leviathan-rising-lyrics.html I always dig political songs, whether I agree with them or not...
