Some ancient live videos of folk metal icons, the defunct Otyg has been posted online and I just thought they were too cool to pass up. I loved these guys at the time (and still do, really, both full lengths are folk metal classics) and wish I could’ve seen them live myself. But I guess […]

Angry Metal Guy’s Classics #3: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
“Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win, seven holy paths to hell and your trip begins. Seven downward slopes, seven bloodied hopes, seven are your burning fires. Seven your desires…” Cue the keyboards and the power chords. Anyone who knows this album and loves it knows exactly what I’m talking about. Possibly the coolest album intro of all time, to the best heavy metal record ever written: Iron Maiden – Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Formulas Fatal to the Flesh Vinyl!
I normally don’t spend a lot of time pimping labels attempts to make money off of a band’s discog, but in this case I think it’s too fucking cool not to write about! Formulas Fatal to the Flesh, the David Vincentless 6th album from Morbid Angel is now being made available on vinyl for the […]
Rhapsody Announce Official Release Date of New Album!
So, much to my happiness, excitement and general satisfaction, Rhapsody [of Fire] has finally released more information about their new album! The record had previously been announced to be coming out on the 5th of March, but this obviously didn’t happen. Now let me say, first: the artwork is great! Sure, it’s not as colorful […]
I Blast for the Devil!
The Internets have once again served up another pure dada moment.
Fleshgod Apocalypse to Release EP Entitled Mafia
Italian death metallers Fleshgod Apocalypse are planning to release a new EP called Mafia later this year (assumedly via Willowtip Records, though that’s not confirmed). After last year’s fantastic release Oracles (which was my #3 album on the year), I’ve gotta say that I’m really looking forward to this. Hopefully I can figure out who […]
Metaltown 2010
I am not a big festival fan. But I gotta say, the lineup for Metaltown 2010 looks pretty sweet, thus far. I think Angry Metal Guy might just try to get credentialed for this thing to do a shit ton of interviews, maybe a video or something… Förra Ã¥ret slog Metaltown alla möjliga rekord när […]
New Orphaned Land Video Up!
Orphaned Land have produced the video for the first track on their new album The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR and it’s up on the interwebs! It’s actually pretty good, and I don’t really like videos that much.
Pain of Salvation in Melodifestivalen?
OK. So, my friend just updated his status on Facebook saying that, indeed, Pain of Salvation is going to be participating in Melodifestivalen, which Daniel Gildenlöw describes in detail in his blog post from the band’s website: After the flights back to Sweden we had less than 24 hours at home before taking off for […]
The Flow Chart O’ Heavy Metal Names
Angry Metal Girlfriend found this blog with a really very amusing flowchart of Heavy Metal band names. It was obvious to me from the getgo that this person was not, in fact, a real fan of metal because they missed the ever important Names Taken from Lord of the Rings section (see: Gorgoroth, Burzum, Amon Amarth, Amon Din, Crebain, Isengard and so on and so forth), but it is, in and of itself, a very excellent flowchart which demonstrates just how awesome metal naming conventions really are. Also, complete with inverted pentagram. (Cick the picture below to get it to open in a new tab/window.)
