Featuring interviews with everyone from Metallica and Slayer to Megadeth and Exodus, ‘Murder In The Front Row’ tells the story of how thrash metal exploded in the Bay Area back in the 80’s. United by their hatred of all things glam and spurred on by the likes of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and other European metal bands, the Bay Area bands were all about playing fast and loud while causing as much mayhem as they could along the way.
Well, it looks like there is no ‘Bon Voyage’ to be had any time in the near future, but at least we now have this new EP by Mikey Erg.
Brighton’s Bar Stool Preachers have provided us with a soundtrack to the apocalypse. Short soundtrack though.
We are happy to premiere the new video by The Skullingtons for the song ‘Highschool of the Dead’.

As a collective thought, Spice’s self-titled debut album offers a deliberate isolation of pain as interpreted through different vehicles. The record diverts from a singular mood, tempo, or delivery, instead focusing on orchestrating emotional drain as single impulses—fast, slow, driving, simple, and layered—that coalesce in their machinations. Spice’s sound pulls from the sense of melody and drive inherent to their hometown Bay Area pedigree, peppered with modernity and awash with an anthemic haze.

I honestly don't know a helluva lot more about New Zealand then that it's supposed to be beautiful, that I want to visit it someday and that one of the most overrated trilogies ever was filmed there (fight me!).
