MURDERDOLLS WILL ALWAYS KICK ASS
…and other declarations of adoration, hatred and apathy you had to offer about the Lamb Of Godadorned issue of Hammer, featuring the likes of Amy Lee, Coheed And Cambria and more!
HORNY BLYTHE
Randy Blythe says he won’t write a Lamb Of God song about a lovely afternoon he spent with a lady. A million fans say we’d absolutely buy a sexy Lamb Of God album. Metalheads need sweet lovin’ soundtracks, too.
Becci Edwards, email
Move over Barry White! Much as Randy told us about his plans to branch out musically, we can’t see him going into sweet soul crooning anytime soon though, Becci.
LAMB OF SLOG
Nine Lamb Of God albums that all sound the same. Why be the AC/DC of metal if you can’t even fill stadiums?
Jac Coleman, Twitter
Actually Jac, we think you’ll find that’s 11 albums of world-beating groove metal brilliance, if you count Burn The Priest. So nyerh.
THE LOG HAUL
Awesome interview with Lamb Of God! As long as they keep playing, I’m going, I don’t care if they’re 70!
Brian Florky, Facebook
We wholeheartedly agree, Brian! Lamb Of God are on insane form right now and we’ll happily go for a Walk With Them In Hell (and other, less fiendish, places preferably).
HEAVENESCENCE
Love, love, love the interview with Amy Lee in the new issue of Hammer. My only gripe… why only three pages?! She’s a clear cover star.
Alex Manderson, Twitter
You got us, Alex – so here you go, a whole cover feature with Amy Lee and Jonathan Davis. How effin awesome is that?
ROCKERS WITHOUT BORDERS
Loved seeing an article on African metal in the new Hammer – love seeing stuff from around the world, hope there’s plenty more to come!
Stephsematary, Twitter
There certainly is! We love finding out about the exciting things happening around the world, so you can bet we will always offer a platform to bands no matter where they come from.
THE SNUFFERING
Bit freaky to open up the new Hammer and see Coheed’s Claudio Sanchez apparently bragging about slitting a man’s
throat. Always knew he was hiding something under the frizz.
Vaughn Houship, email
We all knew Claudio was a genius, Vaughn, so the leap to evil genius wasn’t all that hard! (We should clarify that he was only talking about a picture, though…)
HELLPRAISER
I don’t always pick up metal mags, but a friend mentioned there was my all-time favourite movie (Hellraiser) in the new Hammer and I couldn’t resist. Even better, it’s a great feature!
Dale Slater, email
Thanks Dale! We hope you stick around… we have such delights to show you.
NEW ISSUE, HU DISS
Lamb Of God have been releasing the same album for years now, but they still get a cover. What happened to Hammer’s love for The Hu? Really disappointed to see they were just a flavour of the month to you guys.
Kye Li, email
Sorry to disappoint Kye, but things just didn’t quite line up for a Hu cover story this time. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t still sounding the trumpets for how brilliant they are! Did you catch our six-page feature on them last issue?
GENESIS OF THE MURDERDOLLS
Whenever Wednesday speaks of Joey it feels real. None of that fabricated bull or the “I only now remember I loved him because he’s dead” crap. The music they made together feels so much more genuine because of it. Murderdolls will always kick ass.
Dee_497, Twitter
Wednesday is about as real as it gets and we’re glad you enjoyed reading Stephen Hill’s excellent feature on Murderdolls, Dee!
