Unearth and Testament *Metal Monday*

Happy Metal Monday to everyone. I have been neglecting the blog for the last couple of weeks, I have no excuse for this so I decided to make it up to you all by doing a two for one. Up this week Unearth and Testament...



First up Testament, I have been into these guys for a while now even though they have pretty much been putting out the same album since the mid-90's. Billed as the poor man's Metallica, Testament really has never achieved the credit I feel they deserve. These dudes rock, I consider their best album to still be Practice what you Preach but Low does have some jams as well. Go check them out!



These guys are just itching to break out. Their newest album The March just dropped a couple of months ago and it is a non-stop fucking metal blast. It even has some very heavily punk-inspired riffs. So for you punk who are scared to join the metal fold this band might be the bridge you are looking for....im looking at you little pants!!

P.S. You can see both of these groups playing at the Scout Bar on June 2nd.

Metal Monday....a little late

Hi all,

So ive been pondering all weekend and this week about what to post, since most music news doesnt happen until late spring/early summer I decided to cover the biggest thing to happen this week. Metallica was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. Now this is a big deal for several reasons. The first being the greatest heavy band of all time is officially being recognized for their efforts. The second being that they have now broken down yet another door for heavy music in the mainstream. There are HUGE omissions in the hall. A few I can think of off the top of my head are Motorhead and Slayer. This entry will make it easier for these bands to be considered. Here is some coverage from the induction:



What was really cool about this performance was that Jason Newsted played with them.
