Celebrating their silver jubilee in style, the buffoon-ish space creatures in Gwar have issued what is easily their best effort in almost as long. Initially revered for both their unforgettable stage show/costumes and trilogy of creative, inspired metal albums (Scumdogs Of The Universe, America Must Be Destroyed and This Toilet Earth in the...

Sounds Of The Underground Too Much And Too Little At The Same Time

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) July 20, 2007 1:30 pm
The first Sounds Of The Underground tour featured one of the strongest metal festival lineups ever, with Lamb Of God, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, Clutch, High On Fire and others all sharing the stage. Last year didn't offer nearly as large or as strong a lineup, but that was OK because you still got to see Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and In Flames...

Sounds Of The Underground A Logistical Nightmare

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) July 13, 2006 5:30 pm
The inaugural Sounds Of The Underground stop in the Toronto area was held at Arrow Hall last summer. While the airplane hanger isn't the best place to see a show, it catered well to the tour's unique festival-like demands. The venue had enough space for merchandise booths for the 20-or-so bands and the unpredictably large crowd, that started out...

How much Miles Davis do you need in your life? Apparently the folks at Sony Music have decided you need 43 discs worth of his music, since they're going to release a 43-disc (yes, 43 discs, for real) box set titled The Genius Of Miles Davis. (Ray Charles is yelling somewhere.) It collects all eight of Davis' box sets released from 1996 to...

Daily Poll: Slipknot Vs. Gwar

By CHARTattack Staff July 21, 2010 12:00 am
Masks (or at least covering one's face with makeup) are nothing new in rock 'n' roll. Even before the likes of Gwar and Slipknot started donning ridiculous costumes and custom-designing their own masks to look extra scary, bands like KISS were covering up their faces with makeup, even though they were doing it to be really, really glam...

Saturday was by far the toughest musical day for Bonnaroo 2010. How does one decide on seeing The Dead Weather over The Avett Brothers over The Melvins over Mumford & Sons over Weezer over Jeff Beck? All these bands are awesome in their own unique way, and I wanted to see all of them in entirety, as I'm sure many others in attendance also...
