LOLLAPALOOZA Evacuated Due To Extreme Weather!

                                 Photo by: Steve Mitchell/Invision/AP

This just in via The Associated Press:

"Chicago police are evacuating fans from the Lollapalooza music festival because of a line of advancing thunderstorms. Police spokesman Officer Darryl Baety says the festival was ordered shut down at 3:30 PM after a severe thunderstorm warning was issued. Festival-goers are being evacuated from downtown Chicago’s Grant Park to underground evacuation and shelter sites along Michigan Avenue.

"The Red Hot Chili Peppers are scheduled to play last on the main stage Saturday. The three-day event concludes Sunday and is sold out, Shelby Meade, a spokeswoman for promoter C3 Presents, says the company regrets having to suspend the show, but that safety comes first.

"Powerful winds from an advancing storm were responsible for last summer’s deadly stage rigging collapse at the Indiana State Fair."

CLOWN Explains How The Members Of SLIPKNOT Got Numbered!

Have you ever wondered who the members of SLIPKNOT got their numbers and why the hell they numbered each other? Well, recently CityBeat.com chatted with Shawn "Clown" Crahan about all things SLIPKNOT and this is what he had to say about the numbering system:

"The numbers kind of just fell into place," says Clown. "It’s kind of a weird thing. Back when we started we were going to wear a mask and I started wearing coveralls so we all started wearing coveralls, then there were so many of us, we put our bar code on the back. Then we wanted numbers—I wanted numbers. It was kind of ironic, because everyone fell into a number. I wasn’t going to tolerate any other number than six. Like if someone was going to fight me for it, I was going to fight to the death for it, but nobody wanted it. Joey wanted to be number one, Paul wanted to be number two, the original guitar player, and the other drummer three. Mick, he is like 'I have to have seven. Fuck everyone. It’s my lucky number.' Corey was like, 'I want eight, infinity.' When Sid joined the band, 'I am not a number. I am zero. I am filth.' It was kind of magical, honestly. The masks were more of a representation of what you wanted to present as yourself. It was one’s finding oneself, but the numbers were almost assigned to us subconsciously."

Finally some good news on the Randy Blythe incarceration in Prague, Czech Republic! After five weeks in a prison, Blythe has been released on bail and is returning to the United States today.  Although LAMB OF GOD was forced to cancel their summer co-headline tour with Dethklok and special guests Gojira, the band has agreed to play SLIPKNOT's "KnotFest" shows on August 17th in Council Bluffs, Iowa and August 18th in Somerset, Wisconsin.

According to Blesk.cz, Blythe boarded a direct flight to New York at approximately 1:00 PM. CEST (Central European Summer Time) today. He is expected to land on U.S. soil this afternoon. Prior to boarding the plane back home, Blythe spoke with TV Nova, a Czech news outlet:

"I'm relieved to be out of Pankrác jail," Blythe told TV Nova at the airport before catching his flight. "It wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly fun."

He added, "I'm relieved to be out of jail, but if it's necessary for me to return to Prague to go to this court thing, I certainly will. I'm no flight risk."

HERE is a short video clip of Blythe talking to TV Nova at the Prague airport.

LAMB OF GOD is currently targeting October 26th as the start date for a U.S tour. Dates and cities will be released as soon as possible. Randy will be making a public statement discussing his time in Prague and thanking fans worldwide for their support in the next week.

PHILIP ANSELMO Speaks The Truth About The Current State Of Heavy Music!


If there is one thing that Philip Anselmo has never ever done is bite his tongue. The controversial multifaceted ex-PANTERA and current DOWN frontman, recently spoke with The Boston Phoenix about the current state of Heavy Music and of course about the NEW DOWN album ''Down IV Part I – The Purple EP''. A few excerpts from the interview follow:

About producing bands and releasing records via Housecore Records (Anselmo's label):

"I love it. I love everything from the camaraderie, the studio work, pulling songs together, helping out — I hate mixing, but I love the end result," Anselmo says, checking in by phone from his home in the swamps of Louisiana. "It is important to me, it really is. I'm very interested in what the thinking bands are doing out there. I love the underground; I'm always looking for anything that is a breath of fresh air because it makes me feel young again and gives me that 'Holy shit, I just picked up Slayer's Hell Awaits record again.' It gives me that feeling, and it's probably good for the circulation."

The NEW DOWN:

"I put no pressure on myself for this Down record," Anselmo says. "I don't think any of us did. I did what we did when we recorded the first demo. I am never the guy that will sit back and say, 'Oh, we gotta break new ground!' and have all these gigantic expectations. I'm the biggest fucking pessimist in the entire world. Even when I was in Pantera, I didn't expect a fucking thing." More info about the NEW DOWN here!

PANTERA's legacy:

"We were very strong, in our strongest, strongest bodies," he says. "The injuries had not yet mounted in my skeleton, and . . . gosh man, we were so physical back then onstage. When we had recorded [1990's] Cowboys from Hell, we were playing a lot of those songs live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and I know that this has been said before, but the last song we wrote for Cowboys was 'Primal Concrete Sledge,' and if there was any song that there was a possible bridge or a sneak peek at what Vulgar Display of Power would be, it's definitely that song.""I miss the days, I long for the days, sometimes, and I miss Dimebag very, very much," Anselmo says. "There's a plethora of emotions, and to dwell on the past doesn't feel healthy for me and when I think about those days. It's not like I try to think of all the good stuff; it kind of comes naturally, especially Vulgar Display of Power and that whole touring cycle and the change in the audience and their perception of us. When we toured Cowboys from Hell, there was a very lukewarm if not awful response. But when you back it up with a record like Vulgar Display, that's when the tide did turn — rapidly, to say the fucking least. There were some extremely educational, memorable, cherishable times in my life.

"We used to fuck with all kinds of songs. Obviously we did that ridiculous version of 'Cat Scratch Fever' for some movie soundtrack [Detroit Rock City], that dickface Ted Nugent. Shit dude, we would kick into Kansas and all kinds of shit. What you said does ring a bell; I think it was something like 'Outta Love Again,' I wonder where that shit is. And here's another one for ya: I never did sing on the motherfucker, that old Phil Collins [he starts singing 'I Don't Care Anymore'], we did a version of that, and it's somewhere. But there really probably isn't any original material left, but cover tunes and shit like that. If there was the proper amount of digging, we could find all kinds of shit."


The current state of Heavy Music:

"Heavy Metal has always gotten the meathead rap, and you know, hey, honestly I haven't fucking helped. I've made more bad decisions than great decisions in my fucking life, and I regret a lot of things I've said onstage, a lot of actions I've done onstage, and a lot of trouble that I've got into, because all it does is bring bad publicity to heavy metal. It kind of makes us, heavy metallers, a sovereign state in a lot of ways. We might not get as much big-time praise from mainstream media, but let them call us meatheads, let them think we're ignorant, and let them keep writing awful music — and I'll keep calling it awful and we'll just be even at that."


Don't forget that Philip Anselmo will be speaking the truth with DOWN this fall on a North American tour, followed by a European trek. The band will be touring in support of their forthcoming NEW EP (details below). The following dates have been confirmed so far, with more to be added soon:

SLIPKNOT & SLAYER Fans Cause 'Mayhem' At Darien Lake Leading To 21 Arrests Or Citations!

What a summer! First LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe is arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges, then Harley Flanagan (former bassist from the CRO MAGS) stabs some of the current band members in New York City, and just this week someone threatened to kill Jonny Davy from JOB FOR A COWBOY at the Tampa, Florida stop of this year's "Summer Slaughter Tour" causing major delays.

Yesterday (August 1), according to The Batavian, 21 people were arrested or cited during the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival concert at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York. Of the four people arrested, a 49-year-old man and a 27-year-old male were charged with disorderly conduct after allegedly engaging in a fight in the parking lot; a 23-year-old man was charged with trespass after allegedly climbing a light pole inside the concert venue; and a 51-year-old male was charged with DWI and Driving with more than .08 BAC after allegedly driving in the parking lot intoxicated. Seven people were charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and 10 others were issued citations for alleged consumption/possession of alcohol under age 21.

Regarding the lower number of underage drinking citations, Deputy Chief Gordon Dibble said SLIPKNOT and SLAYER — who are headlining this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival — draw a slightly older crowd than, say, Toby Keith. "We still went out looking for violations, we just didn't find too many," Dibble said.

We suggest you all calm down, otherwise we will all be punished by having less shows in the next few years! Cool? Carry on!

Don't forget to catch SLIPKNOT at the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL (remaining tour dates):

8/3 – Boston, MA
8/4 – Scranton, PA
8/5 – Hartford, CT

Old School Footage Of HATEBREED Performing 'Under The Knife' & 'Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire' In Their Entirety!

HATEBREED has been heavily involved in the Heavy Music scene since 1994 and have broken many sound barriers. Love them or hate them, you have to respect their hard work and perseverance.



You heard it here first in mid April, but now the details have been revealed for HATEBREED's upcoming “10 Years of Perseverance” fall tour, a United States headline tour to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the band’s ground-breaking 2002 major-label debut, 'Perseverance'. The tour features direct support from Whitechapel and special guests All Shall Perish and Deez Nuts, and kicks off on September 13th in Clifton Park, NY.

'Perseverance' is recognized worldwide as a landmark album in HATEBREED’s musical catalog—an album that skyrocketed the band to immediate leader-of-the-pack status after its release. Released on March 26, 2002, the band’s second full-length studio album blasted open the doors of American DIY Hardcore in mainstream culture with songs such as "I Will Be Heard", "A Call For Blood" and the album's title track, "Perseverance".  Since the release of 'Perseverance', the fusion of Hardcore and Metal has been emulated and evolved relentlessly, but never duplicated with the same originality and brutality that HATEBREED accomplished with their first major-label release.

Perseverance debuted within the top 50 of the Billboard Top 200 chart and has since gone on to sell roughly half a million copies worldwide.

Members of ANTHRAX, SLIPKNOT & ASKING ALEXANDRIA Talk About The Incarceration Of Randy Blythe!

As previously reported, Randy Blythe was arrested in Wednesday, June 27th at the Prague airport on manslaughter charges. Blythe, 41, is being accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer apparently either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel who had come on stage, and that person died 14 days later of bleeding in the brain.

On July 25th the situation was not resolved in favor of Blythe. On this day, the Czech authorities who had thrown a dangerous curve ball at Blythe by doubling the money required for bail from $200K to $400 K (equivalent to the salary that Blythe earns in two years), denied his bail yet AGAIN!

Since Blythe is still arrested in the Czech Republic. The LAMB OF GOD, DETHKLOK and GOJIRA tour, was cancelled! Here is what members of SLIPKNOT, ANTHRAX and ASKING ALEXANDRIA had to say about this ridiculous situation:

Gloria Cavalera Reflects On The Death Of Her Son Dana 16 Years Ago; SOULFLY To Headline The "D-Low Memorial Festival" Tonight In Arizona!

Today (August 2nd), Max Cavalera's SOULFLY will be headlining the 16th annual D-Low Memorial Festival at the Marquee Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona. Also appearing on the bill will be Incite and Lody Kong (both bands feature Max's sons) and Cattle Decapitation!

The D-Low Memorial Festival is an annual event held in memory of Dana Wells (Max Cavalera's stepson), who was killed after the release of Sepultura's "Roots" in 1996. In 2004, the band recorded part of their 'The Song Remains Insane' DVD at the show. Here is what Gloria Cavalera (Dana's mother and Max's wife) posted on her Facebook page regarding the 16th anniversary of her sons death:

‎"16 years without one of your children is a long struggle. Sure, you get used to it and begin to smile again, but there is always a lion sleeping in your soul. He wakes up on holidays, during your dreams, or even driving by a landmark of a happier moment. It takes all you have got to put him back to sleep.

"If you go to the Phoenix New Times site and pull up an article from 1998 titled 'For Reasons Unknown', you will find an article written by David Holthaus. He was an investigative reporter back in the day who did an independent investigation on Dana's strange death. At the end, you will find a post which posted last year on the night of the 15th DLOW show day. It is written by the boy who drove the car that swerved Dana off the road. Its quite rude comical and full of statements that are not facts. He plead the 5th on all questions at his depositions, refused all requests for a lie detector test and states facts about Dana's drinking etc. that are false, as proven by affidavits and witness testimony. Dana did not have high alcohol content in his blood and was not hopped up on drugs, contrary to the statements made in the rant. I found it especially interesting that this boy/man posted this piece on the night of the Dlow show. You can check it out for yourself HERE.

"Maybe you will smell the same odor I got when I read it Max wrote 'Bleed', 'Pain', 'Tree of Pain',
'First Commandment', 'Revengance', 'In Memory Of', 'Wings', and many other tracks to express the misery our family has gone through because of that one instant, 16 years ago. It was a time also of 'No Hope, No Fear'.

"Thanks to all of you who helped us, and softened the blow dealt to our family. You helped us through a tragic, hopeless time. 'Walking Through This World, Youv'e Got to Hold Your Head up High!!!' I would also like to shout out an extra special thanks to the Deftones who respected their friend, Dana, in life and also after his death. Soul Fly, Fly Free!!! Peace."

As previously reported, the second chapter of the "Maximum Cavalera Tour" is currently happening all across the nation! A list of remaining tour dates is available below.

The 'SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE – SPECIAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION' Live DVD was filmed at the second, and what turned out to be last, US Festival in 1983.

Judas Priest have this to say about this memorable day in Metal history:

‘On the day that we performed, we flew in by helicopter - and the first sight we saw was that of thousands of abandoned cars piled up around the crests of the hills that surrounded the festival arena, which as we went over took our breath away. For there below us, spread throughout hundreds of acres was a massive crowd – over three hundred thousand strong! The summer heat was raging and combined with the hot Santa Ana winds made for a scorching metal furnace on stage.’

4. Bloodstone
5. (Take These) Chains

DOWN Release NEW Single "Witchtripper" On iTunes - Crank It Now!

As previously reported, Metal forerunners DOWN will release 'Down IV Part I – The Purple EP', their first body of NEW material in five years, on September 18, 2012 via Down Records (Independent Label Group). 

Last week, Rolling Stone made the exclusive announcement this week with the world premiere of first single “Witchtripper,” calling it a “typically aggressive Anselmo vocal against a twisting, grinding musical backdrop.” [listen HERE!]. Right now, you can legally download "Witchtripper" right HERE.
 
The six song EP is the first in a series of four EP’s planned for release over the next year. DOWN, which includes Philip Anselmo (Pantera) on vocals, Pepper Keenan (C.O.C.) on lead guitars, Kirk Windstein (Crowbar) on guitar, Jimmy Bowery (Eye Hate God) on drums, and Pat Bruders (Crowbar), the newest addition to the line-up, on bass, will kick off a string of tour dates on release day, beginning in Fort Worth, TX, and ending October 2 in Charlotte, NC.

Self-produced and recorded at Nodfertu’s Lair, located at Anselmo’s New Orleans home, 'Down IV Part I – The Purple EP' is undeniably the product of the iconic collective that is DOWN, whose members origins span from Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, and Eyehategod. Staggering riffs, thunderous drums, and Anselmo's inimitable delivery crush and captivate over the course of the collection's six songs. It's dark. It's dangerous. It's decisive. It's DOWN at their best.

"I do believe that we have delivered a record that will be accepted and hopefully enjoyed by the DOWN horde—if you will,” says Anselmo. “If you're looking for a DOWN record, it's very pure and real."

Lyrically, the EP goes beyond just personal experiences, and explores themes that include the faith of mankind, the imperfection of mankind and cultural belief systems.

"DOWN gives me the platform to be poetic and paint imagery with lyrics,” says Anselmo. “That's the approach I took. They complement the music and create an ominous feeling. Ultimately, when people consume the words, it's always their interpretation that matters. I could be image-conscious though when I wrote. It's not so gut level or street. The darker shit is some of my favorite."

With an album sales history totaling over 725,000, these New Orleans natives are no strangers to success. Their legendary 1995 debut 'Nola' is certified platinum, while 'Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow' [2002] and 'Down III: Over The Under' [2007] remain fan and critical successes. Count on The Purple EP to garner similar achievements!

EP 1 Track Listing:

    Levitation
    Witchtripper
    Open Coffins
    The Curse Is A Lie
    This Work Is Timeless
    Misfortune Teller

In case you didn't get the memo... legendary Heavy Metal singer Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA) will be joining the Sirius XM Liquid Metal family. Anselmo will be hosting a weekly show where he will be playing his favorite Metal! The news was revealed during an interview that Jose Mangin conducted with Anselmo earlier today. Mangin twitted the following:

"WOW hope y'all just caught that! @PhilipAnselmoFA will be doing a weekly show on @SXMLiquidMetal on @SiriusXM where he plays his FAV Metal!"
