Heavy Metal News Bites #1

editorial

After the last post highlighting the fact that Judas Priest Are Back, we decided that it would be a good time to bring you some short news clips of what’s occurring in the heavy metal arena.

First up we have:

Corey Pierce from God Forbid Gives Gauntlet Readers Advice…

God Forbid drummer, Corey Pierce, has taken on the daunting job of straightening out the lives of The Gauntlet readers. You can check out some of Corey’s advice and philosophy on everything from masturbating, to chili making here…

Happy Saints of Los Angeles day…

MÖTLEY CRÜE, the heavy metal legends of over two decades are to have an official day named after them by the City of Los Angeles’ mayor’s office.

From now onwards, July 31st will be known as Mötley Crüe Saints of Los Angeles Day, in honor of its new album.

The band are scheduled to attend a presentation ceremony set up at Guitar Centre in Los Angeles later…

Spineshank has reunited

Spineshank has reunited and is planning a possible tour. The band hasn’t played together with front man Johnny Santos since 2003. Johnny Santos quit the band due to musical differences and later formed Silent Civilian on Mediaskare Records.

Earlier this year, Roadrunner Records released “The Best of Spineshank.” The band was also nominated for a Grammy in 2003 for “Smothered” in the Best Heavy Metal Album category…

Trivium’s new album

Trivium’s new album Shogun doesn’t hit stores until September 30th, but you can hear the first single now.

At Roadrunnerecords.com, you can now download “Kirisute Gomen,” the first track from Trivium’s new album Shogun. The download is only active for 24 hours so make sure you get it on Thursday.

Tom “Warrior” Fischer has just posted the following update:

“I just returned from Berlin, where I continued work on the design of “Only Death Is Real”, the illustrated history of Hellhammer and early Celtic Frost, with the book’s layouter, Hendrik Hellige. If all goes according to plan, the book will be in print in 2009 as a large-format and very detailed biography covering the years 1981 to 1985. It also features artwork, flyers, memorabilia, and hundreds of photos, most of which have never been published before. The material we have compiled during the past three and a half years is simply stunning. Even if one is only marginally interested in Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, the book will provide a truly unique glimpse at the early days of extreme metal. ”

Judas Priest Are Back

live

Following on from the last post Ozzy Osbourne, highlighting the musical prowess or the ultimate metal rocker, Ozzy Osbourne, often dubbed the Lord of Darkness himself, we move on to another heavy metal band that took the music to new heights in the late 1970s and early 80s to necome one of the biggest heavy metal bands of that era, Judas Priest.

Judas Priest are back on the live arena once again and this year they have several live performances lioned up.

One of these is at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday, August 28 at 5:30 pm. Judas Priest will then play next at the Glen Helen Pavilion in Devore, California on Saturday, August 30.

Originally formed in 1968, the heavy metal outfit, Judas Priest was put together in Birmingham, England by guitarist KK Downing and bassist Ian Hill. Several false stars followed until a stale line-up consisting of Downing, Hill, Rob Halford on vocals, and Glenn Tipton on guitar was achieved. They went through several drummers during their long history.

Judas Priest are considered as a major influence on the whole heavy metal music scene, which has earned them their nick name: “Metal Gods,” taken from the album track of the same name.

Here is a discography of their recordings from the beginning:

  • Rocka Rolla (1974)
  • Sad Wings of Destiny (1976)
  • Sin After Sing (1977)
  • Stained Class (1978)
  • Killing Machine/Hell Bent for Leather (1978)
  • British Steel (1980)
  • Point of Entry (1981)
  • Screaming for Vengeance (1982)
  • Defenders of the Faith (1984)
  • Turbo (1986)
  • Ram I Down (1988)
  • Painkiller (1990)
  • Jugulator (1997)
  • Demolition (2001)
  • Angel of Retribution (2005)

The British heavy metal outfit have been playing to huge audiences for three decades now and despite a lull in their appearances during the mid 1990s and the first part of this century, Judas Priest are back just as loud and brilliant as ever they were!

If you get a chance to go and see them live, do it!
