Some very sad news received out of the Slayer camp. Armand Crump, the band’s long time guitar tech and by all accounts a beloved and talented guy, passed away yesterday (March 31). Although the cause of death has not yet been revealed,
February 20, 2012 Some of today's oldest and best heavy metal bands have some odd merchandise featured on their sites. Slayer, especially is known for this, as they have their own line of condoms, and for Valentine's Day had a candy jar filled with evil candy available for purchase. Now, the 31-year-old quartet have gotten their own piece of jewelry: a hand-crafted, genuine sterling silver Slayer ring.
The Foo Fighters took the 2012 Grammy's by storm. Not only did they walk away with five total Grammy's last night, but they also delivered another killer performance. Introduced by one of Dave Grohl's good friends, Jack Black, and playing to a massive crowd outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, The Foo's proved that rock is very much alive.

If you’ve been hoping and praying that the Big 4 will soon be playing a full U.S. tour, you might want to lower your expectations and be happy with that DVD of the Sonisphere show from Sofia, Bulgaria.

According to Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, their next album is being worked on. It will be the follow up to 2009's World Painted Blood.
Before the bands from the Big Four took the stage at Yankee Stadium earlier this week they sat down to talk about the rivalries, if any, that went on during the 1980's.
One of the things that has been going on at the end of Metallica's set at the Big Four gigs is that they bring out members of Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer to jam on a track they all love. They all did a version of the Misfits "Die, Die My Darling" and this time they decided to rock out to some Motorhead. It looks like some listener shot footage from the show at Yankee Stadium, but the quality is ok. So if you didn't get to be there, live vicariously through this.
