Busy day today. Learnin’ the new job and then getting a tattoo finished. Let me tell you, if you have never got the inside fold of your elbow joint tattoo’d (the spot between your forearm and bicep), it hurts like a bitch. Anyway, after the eventful day, and me still very happy of the news about Dave Ellefson returning to Megadeth, I still felt like I needed to get a little bit of news up.

• Dave Ellefson spoke to Classic Rock exclusively and had quite a bit to say. Here is just a smidgen:

“So far, the reaction I’ve had from everyone has been overwhelmingly positive. I cannot wait to get back out there with Megadeth.”

• If you are a fortunate European, here is your chance to catch Bloodbath, live at Bloodstock 2010 on August 13-15, playing their set on the 13th in Derbyshire, UK. I think this is the first time they will be playing since the release of The Fathomless Mastery.
• The Red Chord and Black Label Society both lost their drummers. Oh and Trivium did too, but that’s old news.
• AC/DC are getting old as fuck and requested not 1 but 3 Oxygen tanks for their Melbourne Australia show. These guys have been touring their asses off since the release of Black Ice in October of 2008.
• Kreator have singed a deal with probably THE best metal label. Nuclear Blast has signed a long term deal with the German thrash metal veterans. I can’t wait for the follow up to Hordes Of Chaos.
• Lastly, DAATH have announced that they are working on a “Brand New Sound” for their next record coming this fall. I’m not quite sure yet what to think of this, but you can read more at Blabbermouth.

Collectively, these elements direct the left turns we have always chosen to take. This will not be ‘The Hinderers Part II’, ‘The Re-Concealers’, or ‘The Conhinderers’. This will be a brand new sound.

If you missed Kreator earlier this year on their Hordes Of Chaos Tour, now is your chance to catch them again on the Hordes Of Chaos Tour Part II. This time around they are taking the U.K.’s Evile and Wisconsin’s Lazarus A.D. along with a few other supporting acts changing up in and out of the tour. I caught them on the first part of this tour with Exodus and it was everything I thought it could have been. If they come to a city near you, go check them out. You won;t be disappointed. Here are the dates. Read the rest of this entry »

So, here it is, the Hooked! Thrash Metal Edition of the Hook In Mouth Podcast. Again, I’m all over the place between songs. I tried to minimize the “uhs’ and Ums” but shit, I can’t help it I guess. Also I’m a little stuffed up from allergies right now so I sound like a little kid.

Below is the track list of the songs and bands I played. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks for more thrash metal. I love it and it it’s timeless. That’s why there are so many thrash metal bands still out there. Not because it’s trendy but because thrash metal kicks ass like no other. This edition ran about an hour and 30 minutes [63.4 mb]. the Megadeth sample levels (from Amazon.de) are kind of loud but you get the point.

If you enjoyed the bands in this podcast, please buy the albums and go to their shows if they come to your local venues. Support the bands’; otherwise you’ll just have to listen to the garbage force-fed to you by the radio waves. Read the rest of this entry »

Lately I’ve been on this real thrash kick. I’ve been listening to bands that I should have been listening to 15 years ago. it doesn’t matter, I’m enjoying them now. I try to put my iPod on shuffle but i always end up skipping over songs very quickly. I find it easier to just put on an album and let it play through. Here are the top 5 most frequently played albums on my iPod as of late:

1. Kreator: Enemy of God – An awesome German thrash album that is only a few years old.
2. Sodom: One Night in Bangkok – An awesome double live album.
3. Warbringer: Waking In To Nightmares – These guys give neo-thrash a good name.
4. Blood red Throne: Souls of Damnation – Awesome death metal. Enough said.
5. Decrepit Birth: …And Time Begins – Again, awesome death metal. This album was released a few years ago. look for a new one sometime in the next year on Nuclear Blast.

What’s in your top 5 pr 10 most frequently played?

Sodom

When I was younger I used to pride myself on being a fan of thrash metal. The problem was that I really didn’t know that many thrash metal bands and being from a small town, it wasn’t easy to discover new and/or old thrash bands. Also the thrash era had kind of quieted down by that time and glam and grunge were pretty much the main bullshit in metal magazines. After that I started to get more into death metal. A few years later I turned to NY Hardcore bands and a few nu-metal bands that I thought were wroth a listen. It wasn’t until the last few years that I’ve started to move backwards. I’ve started liking death metal a lot more, even the incomprehensible vocal type of “Brutal” death metal. Along with my renewed faith and focus on death metal has come my diggin’ for thrash bands that I missed over the years. Kreator and Testament are two bands that I really love these days. Lately my new thrash metal love is the sound of German thrash metal vets Sodom. Read the rest of this entry »

Putting this list together was not that difficult for me. Since the number of albums that I have actually heard or bought this year is fairly limited right now, it was a simple process of elimination. This is not a top 10 list of any sort. Some of these may not be out yet. This is simply MY favorites of 2009. If you’d like to share your favorite 2009 releases, put it in the comment section.

1. ÐÅÅTH: The Concealers – This album probably gets the most play of any album I have listened to this year. There is just something about this album that keeps me coming back.
2. Mastodon: Crack The Skye – Coming in at a very close second, Crack The Skye just blew me away the first time I heard it. I burned myself out on it for the first few weeks before it’s release and a little more after it’s release.
3. Kreator: Hordes Of Chaos – Classic thrash metal icons show that they still have it with H.O.C. Their live show is amazing.
4. Napalm Death: Time Waits For No Slave – Grindcore legends and pioneers show that they still have it going on and can teach a thing or two to all the ‘core bands out there, especially in the solos field.

Due to “Technological Chaos” there were two live tracks left off of Kreator’s Hordes Of Chaos deluxe edition. BW&BK reports:

Due to technological chaos, the two live tracks that were planned for release on the bonus DVD (to be found in the Limited Edition Digi Pack/European Version) are being made available now for free download.

The two tracks left off of the deluxe edition were Coma Of Souls and Awakening Of The Gods. They were recorded at Summer Breeze Festival 2006 and can be downloaded for free HERE.

I’m still trying to get th feel for Hoprdes Of Chaos. Not being a fan of Kreator makes it tough because I have heard nothing but great things about this band. So I’m going to back and get a feel for Pleasure To Kill, which I hear is their best album, and see where I go from there.
