10 THINGS WE LEARNED THIS MONTH
What’s been blowing our tiny brains
BABYMETAL ARE BACK
A year since they posted a cryptic message suggesting they were on hiatus, Babymetal have announced a new album for March, and released single Divine Attack - Shingeki. That’s not all, though…
SABATON’S ARENA RUN IS THE MADDEST TOUR ON EARTH
Babymetal. Lordi. Sabaton. If that doesn’t sound like the most insane (and production-intensive) tour you’ve ever heard, we don’t know what is.
SERJ WANTS PEOPLE TO STOP (SUEY)
System Of A Down vocalist Serj Tankian says fans keep scaring him by screaming “Wake up!” at him. Bahahaha!
TERRIFIER 2 LIVES UP TO ITS NAME
Recently released horror sequel Terrifier 2 is apparently so stomach-turning it has audiences fainting, vomiting and calling ambulances to movie theatres.
TOM DELONGE IS BACK IN BLINK 182
Which presumably means Travis Barker can stop trying to run a one-man pop-punk renaissance. Don’t ask about ticket prices, mind.
EXTREME METAL ISN’T GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR LOVE LIFE
A study shared by QI suggested the reason many straight male extreme metal guitarists play is to impress… other straight male guitarists.
LZZY HALE LOVES GWAR
She guested as Clitaurus Maximus The She Bull on their song The Cutter.
RAMMSTEIN SAID NO TO VIAGOGO
The German sextet have put a restraining order on ticket resellers Viagogo for next year’s stadium tour.
IVAN MOODY WANTS TO “RETIRE FROM HEAVY METAL”
The 5FDP frontman has suggested he only has one more metal album in him before he moves to new pastures.
SEBASTIAN BACH IS ROWING AGAIN
Seb ended up in a social media spat with Falling In Reverse’s Ronnie Radke when the latter’s band cancelled upcoming shows due to missing laptops. Oh dear.
