Nor'easter / Blizzard headed towards Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and New England

feeds@yuku.com (Steelers Own You) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:17:01 GMT

So I was watching The Weather Channel with great interest about the developing blizzard in the Southeast. Here in Florida, they were calling for severe thunderstorms with the possibility of tornadoes. All we got was some wind, some rainshowers and dropping temps through the day. I'm dissappointed Miami / Fort Lauderdale area got all of the severe weather. Hallandale, Hollywood and Aventura (all near Ft Lauderdale in Broward County)...

Hysterica - Metalwar

feeds@yuku.com (PwrMtl) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:24:59 GMT

Anyone heard/have this CD? It's a new band, all chix, 100% pure no bullshit METAL. Not going to say they are the greatest, or doing anything remotely original, but they do write some really catchy (in a METAL way) tunes that would be great to sing along to when you are having a few beers and feeling really METAL. Check out Metalwar, Girls Made Of Heavy Metal or Pain In The Ass to get an idea (they also have a tune called Heavy Metal Man, cuz there can never be too many songs w/ the word...

Devin Townsend - Addicted

feeds@yuku.com (Shotintheface2) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:09:17 GMT

I was wondering if anyone hear checked this out? Devin isn't exactly the power/thrash style that most of the board embraces but he's been putting out great metal for the past decade with his solo stuff and Strapping Young Lad.

I've been listening to his new album Addicted a lot lately. The title basically implies what the album is like, ridiculously catchy, with great memorable guitar riffs and vocal lines (And of course monster production but thats to be expected of...

BEST METAL OF THE DECADE

feeds@yuku.com (HardcoreSean) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:19:44 GMT

Everyone keeps making these lists, so I'm going to throw my own idea and say we should do the same: What are your own personal thoughts on the best metal albums, songs, and bands of the decade? I will post later with my thoughts, but for now I want to throw it open. EVERYONE can do this. I'm looking at YOU Morgoth, romeo, and pk! I want a lot of replies to this, it'd be fun.

My stipulations:

New Maiden album in 2010

feeds@yuku.com (Gilgamesh Flux) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:46:14 GMT

From the Steve Harris fan page on facebook:

"Iron Maiden's new album to release in 2010. Nicko says,"We have actually booked a studio and I think we'll kick off in the second week of January with the new record…. As to touring - the end of the year, or definitely 2011. We may actually go out at the end of 2010. Once you've got the new album finished and packaged,... and the record company's happy with all the bits and pieces,...

Concert's

feeds@yuku.com (PwrMtl) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:39:39 GMT

Been a pretty long while for me, but finally a couple of shows are on the horizon: Slayer/Megadeth/Testament - 2/12/10 Hammerfall - 3/6/10 Seen 'em all before at least once, but should still be a good time (esp. considering the USA metal concert drought of late)
