GWAR

Antarctic metal monsters GWAR are kicking off their spring run of dates with a special “Meat and Meet” at the world-famous Grinders in Kansas City, MO. The “Meat and Meet” is scheduled for Monday April 8th from 6-8 PM.

This event is not only for GWAR to drink and eat themselves into a bloated coma with their legions of slavering fans, but to announce and introduce their brand-new and 100% edible “GWAR-B-Q” sauce, personally created for human consumption by none other than GWAR‘s steel-faced guitar player, Balsac, the Jaws of Death.

Trent Reznor announces the return of NINE INCH NAILS

NIN 2013

While I’m not the biggest NIN fan, I do enjoy a ton of his/their work. My wife is going to flip her shit when she hears about this news. I’d love to go see NIN together with her. Here is the statement from Trent:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

 

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked – which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

 

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

 

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

FEAR FACTORY and HATE ETERNAL North American tour dates.

Fear Factory

Fear Factory have announced more dates for their spring North American tour with Hate Eternal. This co-headliner is kinda weird yet it works somehow. Hate Eternal being straight up pure american death metal and Fear Factory being the beloved metal/industrial infused badassness we’ve loved for 20 years.

Cradle Of Filth US Tour Cancellation Statement

A statement from Cradle of Filth’s Facebook regarding their tour with Decapitated and The Faceless:

Cradle Of Filth are really sorry to tell all of their fans that their US tour ’28 Days Closer to Hell’ is going to have to be cancelled, due to US immigration issues beyond the band’s control.

They have been desperately trying to solve these problems, but it has become evident they are not going to be resolved in time for the band to embark on a tour that starts next week.

The band sincerely apologise to all their fans and to the other acts on the tour and want to assure people they have made every effort possible to go ahead with the tour.

Well that sucks. I know there will definitely be some people wanting their money back, but hopefully Decapitated, The Faceless and The Agonist will still be able to tour. Hell, I think Decapitated deserves a headlining US spot anyways right? Let’s hope they can keep their VISA.

*UPDATE*   We just got an email from the company that we purchased our tickets from, and they are automatically refunding our tickets since we paid with a credit card.   Check your email or call the company whom you purchased your tickets from for more information.

The following event has been cancelled:Cradle of Filth featuring Decapitated / The Faceless / The Agonist

VATTNET VISKAR announces North American tour dates

vattnet

Vattnet Viskar is one of those black metal bands that I’m proud to say I was a fan of them right when they were signed to Broken Limbs Recordings. They put out a solid EP and I was forever a fan of theirs. Signing onto Century and now touring, these guys deserve great turnouts and their merch to be sold out night after night. Be sure to hit up a show if they are coming to your town and check out their EP on Bandcamp! PR crap and tour dates below!
