Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration

Sat, 18 May 2013 12:40:36 -0400

Jeff Hanneman helped shape Slayer's uncompromising thrash-metal sound as well as an entire genre of music. His riffs of fury and punk-rock attitude were heard in the songs he wrote, including Slayer classics "Angel of Death," "Raining Blood," "South of Heaven" and "War Ensemble." Hanneman co-founded Slayer with fellow-guitarist Kerry King, bassist Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo in Huntington Park, CA in 1981. For more than 30 years, Hanneman was the band member who stayed out of the spotlight, rarely did interviews, amassed an impressive collection of World War II memorabilia, was with his wife Kathy for nearly three decades, shut off his phone and went incommunicado when he was home from tour, did not want to be on the road too late into any December as Christmas was his favorite holiday, and, from the time he was about 12 years old, woke up every, single day with one thing on his mind: playing the guitar.

It was once suggested to Slayer that if they would write "just one mainstream song that could get on the radio," they would likely sell millions of records and change the commercial course of their career, similar to what had happened to Metallica with 1993's "Enter Sandman." Jeff was the first to draw a line of integrity in the sand, replying, "We're going to make a Slayer record. If you can get it on the radio, fine, if not, then fuck it."

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:42:58 -0400

Pick up your copy of Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem Hardcover book available now on amazon.com

From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood...

Heidi Hawthorne is a thirty-seven-year-old FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict. Struggling with her newfound sobriety and creeping depression, Heidi suddenly receives an anonymous gift at the station-a mysteriously shaped wooden box branded with a strange symbol. Inside the box is a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords. There is no other information.

She decides to play it on the radio show as a joke, and the moment she does, horrible things begin to happen. The strange music awakens something evil in the town. Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi. Who are The Lords? What do they want?

As old bloodlines are awakened and the bodies start to pile up, only one thing seems certain: all hell is about to break loose.

I The Breather Releases New Video For "False Profit"

Fri, 04 May 2012 00:35:30 -0400

I THE BREATHER are one of the most enthusiastic, hard working and promising new bands to come onto the scene as of late and their highly acclaimed sophomore full-length offering, Truth and Purpose, is taking the metal scene by storm. They spent the majority of 2012 on tour alongside August Burns Red, Silverstein, Upon A Burning Body and Betraying The Martyrs, among others. Look for them performing on the Sumerian Records' stage at the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival all summer long.

This is their first official music video from Truth and Purpose and was directed by Thunder Down Country Productions.

Morgan Wright (drums) states: "Our objective with this clip was to create a dark and edgy video. It's very different from our last video. That was more of a straight up performance based video capturing the band in a live element. This video allowed us to use props, add in some acting and have a legit concept. When it came to acting, Shawn (vocals) stepped it up and took on the task of the protagonist.

"The thing that stands out most in this video is the massive python we used. The overall theme is Shawn representing God and the serpent representing the devil. The scenario portrays God rising up and taking on the false prophecy of the devil. A false prophet is someone who will arise to sway mankind into idolatry. We are very proud of this video and hope you enjoy it.”

UNEARTH: The brand new album Darkness in the Light currently streaming in its entirety!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

With Darkness in the Light, the quintet have delivered their most honest, powerful, and compelling statement to date, driving a fist into the collective gut of every image-obsessed wannabe metal band currently cluttering up the landscape, and setting a new standard when it comes to marrying precision brute force and exhilarating melody. Fangoria.com commended the band in an advance review noting: "Tight riffing, varying from technical pedal-style patterns to twin-harmony Maiden/At The Gates worship, plus all the brutally chugging breakdowns, will surely serve to inspire many a karate kick in the pits come tour time. This is definitely music to move by...” UNEARTH has a official Beer Bong available as a pre-order ONLY meaning it will not be available post street date. For further info, check out UNEARTH's official Darkness in the Light landing page where you'll also find news, tour updates and more: .

UNEARTH: New Track, "Ruination Of The Lost" On MetalSucks

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Commented vocalist Trevor Phipps: "'Ruination Of The Lost' is a pummeling front end album song that showcases our mix of both American and European metallic influences with an apocalyptic lyrical theme. Buz [McGrath] and Ken [Susi] both rip some serious guitar solos in the tune and their guitar harmonies are hauntingly catchy. This one is a high energy shredder while lyrically it speaks about the end of the human race in the not so distant future if we continue to destroy our planet with the current level of disregard year after year. It's hard for me to understand why people still let money and politics interfere with any real positive change even with the warning signs Mother Nature has given us. The title of the song refers to the self-destructive nature of the human race and how we are collectively so lost in our lust for money and power that we are destroying the world that gave us life in the first place."  

 To check out "Ruination Of The Lost," point your browser HERE. 

 Charging out of the late '90s Massachusetts underground in a storm of thunderous riffs and focused aggression, in 2011 UNEARTH proudly stand at the forefront of modern metal. With fifth full-length, Darkness In The Light, the quintet have delivered their most honest, powerful, and compelling statement to date, driving a fist into the collective gut of every image-obsessed wannabe metal band currently cluttering up the landscape, and setting a new standard when it comes to marrying precision brute force and exhilarating melody. Slated for North American release via Metal Blade Records July 5, the 11-track long player was recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts with producer (and Killswitch Engage guitarist) Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium, et al). Sitting in on drums during the recording was Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage/Blood Has Been Shed.  

 Several discounted pre-order deals for Darkness In The Light are available. Packages include:  

 CD: $9.99
 CD + T-Shirt: $19.99
 CD + Unearth Beer Bong: $20.99
 CD + T-Shirt + Unearth Beer Bong: $29.99
 
 It should be noted that the Unearth Beer Bong is a pre-order item only and will not be available post street date. For further info, check out UNEARTH's official Darkness In The Light landing page where you'll also find news, tour updates and more: http://www.darknessinthelightalbum.com. 

 Worldwide Release Dates: Darkness In The Light will be released in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Norway July 1, the rest of Europe on July 4, North America, Spain and Italy on July 5, Finland and Hungary on July 6, Australia July 8 and Japan on July 27.

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 18:46:21 -0400

The band has no qualms about staying on the road this year. They recently announced off-dates with the one and only In Flames during their run on Mayhem. They've recently completed Revolver magazine's "Hottest Chicks In Hard Rock: Hell Hath No Fury" tour supporting In This Moment and have been added to this year's Download Festival exclusive lineup. All dates can be found here.

The band's latest record 'The Fight Of Our LIves' came out on March 22, 2011 to much critical praise. 'The Fight of Our Lives' is a good example of what happens when modern American metal-core is performed with passion and intensity," says OUTBURN MAGAZINE. The band released their first single "Conversion" soon after with a video to follow, also directed by Resteghini.

Straight Line Stitch originally hailing from Knoxville, TN, features Alexis Brown on vocals, Seth Thacker and Kris Norris on guitar, Jason White on bass, and Kanky Lora on drums.

RED FANG's John Sherman commented: "Working with Whitey again was great, because we knew the end result would be amazing — he doesn't half-ass. But it was also a little scary, because Whitey would do whatever it took to get the ultimate shot, even if it meant killing us."

"Wires" comes off RED FANG's latest album, "Murder The Mountains", which was recorded with THE DECEMBERISTS' Chris Funk and was mixed by three-time Grammy Award winner Vance Powell (THE WHITE STRIPES, THE RACONTEURS).

'Metal Of Honor' Awareness + Fundraising Effort Announced

Wed, 18 May 2011 23:31:07 -0400

ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL producers John Reese and Kevin Lyman state, “Giving back and showing gratitude to those that have sacrificed for all of us and those who continue to sacrifice is the message we want to spread.”

“Hope For The Warriors® is thrilled to be a part of the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL and to work with these patriotic bands and their fans,” states Robin Kelleher, President of Hope For The Warriors®. “Just as these bands collaborate, we are proud to collaborate with the Pathway Home and other nonprofit organization that support our military families.”

A portion of the proceeds of each ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL ticket sold will go to Hope For The Warriors® and The Pathway Home to further aid them in continuing their necessary work. In addition, the ‘METAL OF HONOR’ awareness campaign will include wrapping one of the tour's semi trucks with logos of the charities, providing nationwide exposure on major highways throughout North America for over six weeks, and a text-to-donate campaign to encourage our patrons to donate as well as inviting radio stations across the nation to get involved by offering each of them their own text word. Additional social media outreach efforts will be utilized to bring the message to rock music lovers worldwide. ‘METAL OF HONOR’ will also have an onsite presence at each festival date highlighting Hope For The Warriors® and The Pathway Home along with other ways the patron can get involved in their own communities.

“The Pathway Home is excited to partner with the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL in helping us bring further awareness of the impact of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other combat-related stressors on military personnel who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan,” states Fred Gusman, MSW / Founder and Executive Director of The Pathway Home. “We’re incredibly grateful to the thousands of fans and the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL team who may not know that their passion can help us be part of the solution for those military personnel who face the diagnosis of PTSD and TBI.”

Unite The United Foundation is also taking part in assisting the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL ‘METAL OF HONOR’ awareness and fundraising effort by implementing their “Salvage For Soldiers” program during this summer’s festival. Throughout the summer, Unite The United Foundation will salvage all broken or damaged instruments, stage clothes and other gear used and donated by performers of the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL during the tour. All of these donated collectors’ items will be autographed by the performers and sold through the Unite The United Foundation charity auction on eBay. Please see the Unite The United Foundation eBay page for complete listings and new items posted throughout the summer: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/unitetheunited. Proceeds from the sale of these one-of-a-kind items will be allocated to the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL ‘METAL OF HONOR’ awareness and fundraising effort, focused on the needs and challenges of our active duty military veterans and their families.

“The warriors of this generation who have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan come home with many needs,” adds Steve Robinson, a retired Army Ranger and noted veterans advocate. “The government alone cannot possibly take care of all of the issues that returning veterans have. For this reason, it brings us hope when the community reaches out and embraces the returning veteran and tries to give them the help they need. The METAL OF HONOR campaign is a powerful example of what can be done when people take one step to help those who have sacrificed so much for this nation.

Steve adds, “As a veteran and a long time veterans advocate, I'm excited to see the impact that will be generated from this awareness campaign. I believe the money raised to support The Pathway Home and Hope For The Warriors® will save lives. The programs they provide are critical to addressing returning veterans' needs. It is important to support those who have served and may soon come home from war. It’s the least we can do as a grateful nation.”

A Trivium Fan Video You Just Have To See

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:08:48 -0500

We put the word out online that we needed 30 second clips of fans talking about Trivium and gave no specific directions on what it could or could not be about, only that it must be in within 24 hours. I figured we would get about 30 or so, but by the next day we had a few hundred videos! I was only able to use a few of the youtube clips to make the video, but there are many more that we will use in one way or another (online, extras on a DVD, etc.) If you want to see any of the other fan made videos, type in PFGVID on youtube.

I have to thank all our fans for taking the time out of there day to share a few moments about Trivium, you all did the hard work and made it very easy to make this short video. Getting to see so many different fans from all over the world and all different walks of life was very moving and has given us even more inspiration to draw from as we are preparing to record album number 5 for you all!!

Check out the video from Oklahoma City. We also threw in a few of the highlights from the entire tour. We had a great time this summer, hope to see you guys all next year!

Day 26 - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

On top of playing next to a Zoo in 105 degree weather, the setup was totally different. Yes there was the main stage, but our second stage wasn't the Silverstar or Jager stage that we're used to but this small, intimate stage next to the main one. It was crazy watching bands like Hatebreed tear it up and the fans were just as crazy. The vendors were all set up in the main amphitheater area as well and by Five Finger Death Punch, the place was packed.

This last point on our 26 show tour showed us that everyone from San Bernardino all the way to OKC was ready to rock. Every band gave it their all every show and we got to meet some incredible people along the way, so we thought it was the right idea to put together our craziest video of all to highlight everything that went on during Mayhem. It was impossible to show every awesome thing that took place, but we threw in just a few of all the memorable things we captured this summer. This means that we have so many more cool things to show so stay up to date here on our site for new videos, interviews, and random shit throughout the next few months.

Oklahoma City, thank you for coming out, we had a great time. To everybody that went to every one of our 26 shows, every one of you guys are what made this possible, without you there is no Mayhem. Heavy Fucking Metal is alive and well in North America!!!

Dallas is Live!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Check it out at the Compound and look for Oklahoma City's blog soon. We will have a ton of other random videos going up throughout the coming weeks; band interviews, live footage, and so much more.

Day 25 - Dallas, Texas

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

As the 2010 summer tour winds down we take a look back to all the crazy shit we've seen thus far, but we have to remind ourselves it's not over yet. Dallas was crazy, some of the most hardcore people we've seen this summer. Our lady Rita was back in Dallas hanging out at the Dimebag tent and there were a ton of people sporting their shirts from the F Your City tent.

We have more from our interview with Chimaira, locked down one of our cameras on Ray's drum kit during Korn's set, and as usual all the crazy shots of the second stage pits. Keep up to date with us during the off season. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be posting a ton of videos from this tour, interviews, random blurbs, live clips and much much more.

Dallas, thanks for coming out, we all had a lot of fun and this was a great place for one of our last shows of the summer, you guys are fucking crazy and we salute you!

WPB!!!

West Palm Beach is up!

Day 24 - West Palm Beach, Florida

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

West Palm Beach might just be the most unique place we've been so far. Each and every fan was sporting something crazy, chick with mohawks, dudes in kilts, Florida is off the hook. Back in Cincy we interviewed Jonathan Davis about touring, their live show, and more. Also Big Jay Oakerson walks around and we try to find the most interesting people we can, and believe us, it's not hard.

All the bands put on a killer show as usual, the Metal Mulisha guys do their thing, and the fans come out and support everything. It's one hell of a time and as the tour comes to a close we just want to thank everybody for coming out. West Palm Beach was a crazy good time and we got the highlights in our video and photos.

Look for us on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

West Palm Beach, thanks for coming out and fucking rocking out with us, you guys rule!

Day 23 - Tampa, Florida

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

After our day off in Savannah, GA we head south to Tampa. The rain off and on all day didn't bother us and the fans seemed to enjoy it. Once the second stage bands finished you could finally see the aftermath of all the Mayhem during the sets. Everyone was dirty and muddy and we'd expect nothing less at Mayhem.

Check out Big Jay Oakerson between the bands. Look for him selling his CDs and walking around during the show. Rob Zombie talks upcoming projects, their process of songwriting, and more. Be sure to look for their new reissue of Hellbilly Deluxe 2 later this year, and they will be at the Roadrunner Records tent doing Meet and Greets daily. There are a ton of other bands doing signings, vendors and merch tents are everywhere. Don't miss all the fun and Mayhem here. We have a ton of photos from the show, video highlights, and other random things.

Day 22 - Bristow, Virginia

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

When I saw that the second stages were literally setup in a gravel pit I know it was going to be a crazy show. Our resident comedian, Big Jay Oakerson went on and made everyone laugh, the Metal Mulisha guys did their thing as usual, and all the bands bought some face blasting heavy metal.

As everybody who has been to Mayhem knows, Rob Zombie puts on a killer live show. I wanted to take an in depth look on some of the things that go on behind the scenes before the show. John 5's guitar tech, Markus showed us all the cool gear he uses during the live show. Guitars, amps, effects, and so much more. We also met up with John 5 way back in Phoenix. You can check out more from that interview and all the photos from the show.

This is your LAST CHANCE to enter our YouTube guitar contest. Here is one of the videos.

Check out our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Bristow, you guys were amazing. It's no wonder why a band like Lamb of God is from Virginia, you guys are fucking Crazy!

Once again our busses were parked with the rest of the public so we got to see first hand, all the fans outside before the show. Pittsburgh has some crazy metal heads. One guy had Korn shaved on the side of his head, (we have a photo of it.) Every band was amazing as always, Zombie and Korn were insane and everyone went crazy at the end of the show.

Back in Hartford we met up with Shadows Fall frontman Brain Fair who talks their new album, touring, and more. Randy Blythe chimes in and we have some live footage from Korn. Art and Johnny from Winds of Plague check in. Team Hatebreed vs Team Chimaira face off in a game of baseball. All that and more in the video and photos below.

20th day of Mayhem Festival and we are in Detroit. Our busses were parked with the rest of the public and when we arrived there were people already there for the show. By the time the mainstage bands went on there was no room at all on the lawn. The place was packed and everybody there was having a rocking good time.

We interviewed Five Finger Death Punch's frontman Ivan Moody back in July. He talks touring with FFDP, and more. We also caught a few of our vendors in action. If you haven't yet, check out the Shirts for a Cure/Fuck Cancer tent and the F Your City tent. They have some kick ass apparel and it all goes towards a good cause.

Day 19 - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Lamb of God makes their home not far from here, Richmond, so the fans were stoked to see them live. Zombie and Korn bought it and killed it live. The second stages were pure mayhem as well. Thousands of metal heads rocking out next to a beautiful nature preserve was awesome to see.

There are some crazy, hardcore, and just bizarre fans in the south east. It brings a whole new feel to the shows and adds to the fun. We walked around the venue to see what we could find. We also met up with Chimaira a little while ago, check out what they have to say about their new CD/DVD package, Coming Alive.

Day 18 - Raleigh, North Carolina

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

For those of you who haven't seen Metal Mulisha do their thing, it is always fun to watch. I snapped a few photos from the Jager stage during Shadows Fall's set. Winds of Plague headlined the Jagermeister stage last night. We threw in some of the interview from Albuquerque.

The main stage opened right after Winds of Plague and the fans piled in to check out Five Finger Death Punch and the rest of the bands. Lamb of God is from not to far away, just up north in Virginia. Check out more from our interview with them.

The fans in Raleigh are some of the most insane we've seen yet. Guys wearing overalls, chicks with vampire teeth, Raleigh is off the hook. The Harley tent was busy, the second stages were packed. It was a rocking' good time.

Keep and eye out for us on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

There are so many people that travel with us on the whole tour. The vendors, those people you see every day hanging out in their tents every day, work so hard everyday. We decided to meet up with Cat from Shirts For a Cure as well. They are a non profit organization, have some kick ass apparel, and all proceeds go to cancer research.

Check it out at the Compound. Indy was a blast and I think everyone there had a great time.

Day 16 - Indianapolis

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

The weather was perfect, it rained in the morning during the load-in and then stayed nice for the rest of the day. It was muddy and wet but we've seen a lot of that this summer. No one in the crowd looked like they were untouched by all the craziness and mayhem

They told us that this was one of the most attended Mayhem Festivals ever. I had to see for myself so our friends at Grayout Aerosports took me up to get some shots. I didn't realize how many people were at the show until we flew over the venue during Five Finger Death Punch's set. 20 minutes and a few aerial acrobatic moves later I was back on the ground for the rest of the Mayhem set.

Lamb of God, Zombie, and Korn all gave it their all and so did the fans all the way to the end of the show. Indy was a blast and we have the video and photos to prove it.

Keep and eye on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Check it out at the Compound, Disturbed was there!

Day 15 - Chicago, Illinois

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

This was by far one of the craziest days on the second stage, clearly from the photos and video we took, you can see how fucking insane it was. The opening bands had a lot of energy, and the headliners made everybody go insane.

We were somewhat surprised to see the guys from Disturbed at the show, although it is their hometown. We met up with the co-headliners of the first Mayhem Festival after the show. Jonathan Davis also talks their live show, new album and more.

Day 14 - Holmdel, New Jersey

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

It is always nice to be close to New York. Our friends from Revolver Magazine and Roadrunner Records, amongst others, were all there and it felt almost like a reunion rather than just another day on the road. Fans were tailgating in the parking lot, and all the vendors seemed to be stoked for the show.

The past few days we've been catching up with local bands throughout the tour. We met with two guys from Las Vegas, Nevada and their band Otherwise. Their singer is the guy that goes on stage with In This Moment every day and sings The Promise from their new album, "A Star-Crossed Wasteland." We also have some more footage of our interview with Atreyu and a ton of photos.

Keep and eye out for us on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Day 13 - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

This show was different from our previous US shows because Avenged Sevenfold joined us. It was even more awesome because their new album came out that day, and it was their first US show with drummer Mike Portnoy. The fans also came out for hometown bands, Shadows Fall and Rob Zombie who's home is not far from here.

With the un-proportionatly high amount of people wearing, "Fuck You We're From Boston" shirts, we could tell the fans were serious about their city and their metal, and they showed it when Rob Zombie and Korn came on. The fans on the second stage fans were crazy as well and we met up with one of the local opening bands, Stemm. Each date has a local band that opens on the Jagermeister stage. We interviewed Rob Zombie on the special edition of Hellbilly Deluxe coming out later this fall and Zacky from Avenged Sevenfold. They're new album was released that day in Boston so what perfect place to support it than on Mayhem.

Heavy MTL Was Awesome!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Check out what we saw while we were in Montreal and feel free to post your thoughts if you were there. Go to the Compound to watch the video and view the photos.

Day 12 - Montreal, Canada

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

We all made our way through the Canadian border around 6am and got to the festival area with no problems. Our buses were really far away from the stages but it was really cool walking around the serene area that would eventually turn into complete and utter mayhem. Even when our first Mayhem bands went on there was a sea of people stretching all the way to the end of the park. When Lamb of God went on the whole sea of people turned into a hurricane of people.

This was the first time Avenged Sevenfold has played live with legendary drummer Mike Portnoy and the crowd was more than excited to see them. The intensity kept rising all the way until Korn's last song of the night and everyone was wild and crazy. It was a good old fashion heavy metal rock festival, and we fucking loved it.

Look for us on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Also if you have text messaging available text "Mayhem" to 757-575 to get videos? that's correct, videos texted to you from each show. This service is called Thwapr and it works on over 225 smart phones world wide. You can opt out anytime and standard messaging rates do apply.

Thank you Montreal for having us close out Heavy MTL 2010, you guys kick ass!

Day 11 - Hartford, Connecticut

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Hartford was one of the sweatiest, muddiest days of the tour. It looked like no one was spared from the humidity or the lawn that ended up turning into a general admission mud pit. Aside from all these things it was a crazy awesome show.

We caught up with Fieldy, who is actually a pretty accomplished dreadlock hair stylist. He talked about everything from the making of the new album, the current tour, and much much more. Shadows Fall vocalist, Brian Fair met with us on their bus and discussed how they operate as a band and their current tour.

Keep and eye on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Also on our YouTube, if you haven't yet, we have an Ibanez Guitar Contest going on now. Submit a video of yourself playing your favorite song from any band on Mayhem and you could be the winner of a custom Mayhem Festival painted Ibanez Guitar.

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Philly native, and our resident comedian, Big Jay Oakerson was there and had the fans rocking' even before the first band took the stage. We also met up with The Rev, creator of the "Official Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Burger." He gives us the details on this epic creation.

You can catch Big Jay right before the first bands go on the second stages and between the headliners in the main amphitheater. Look for him after Lamb of God to purchase his Stand Up Special CD. Also check out the video on how to make the Mayhem Burger and our photos from Philly.

It rained throughout the day but this venue was a little different from others. The second stage bands had their own smaller amphitheater which was cool. We met a ton of really cool fans and caught up with Atreyu in their tour bus about their latest album and more. We also met with Rob Zombie who showed us his large collection of awesome stage props.

Stay tuned for the full interviews coming soon as well as others from previous shows. After the show we met up with Korn frontman Jonathan Davis who talks the new album, separating work from family life, and more. Cincinnati is always a fun place to visit and the fans were loud, proud, and pure fucking metal.

Day 8 - St. Louis, Missouri

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Yesterday was pretty hot, not as hot as Phoenix, but that was replaced by the high humidity. Everyone was sweaty but Mayhem wouldn't be fun without the sun beating down on us. These days are one of the reasons why Rockstar Energy Drink is with us, hydration is key to surviving Mayhem. There were a number of other festivities going on, Harley Davidson, a ton of vendors and merch, and of course, the bands.

It was sunny for most of the day but by the end of Korn's set, the skies opened up and poured down. It was raining so hard but that didn't stop any of the fans from watching the end of the show. There was an impressive lightning show above us afterwards, the perfect ending to a day of Mayhem.

Day 7 - Denver, Colorado

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Yet another totally sold out show, the fans were really stoked to be in Denver for every band on the lineup. The radio station had a couple contests going throughout the day. They gave away a pretty badass looking dirt bike and Ivan [FFDP] was there on hand to support his hometown fans. Immediately after the floodgates opened people raced to the second stages. By the time Hatebreed and 3 Inches of Blood came on the entire area was packed with die hard metalheads. It didn't let up for the main stage either. When Five Finger Death Punch came on, the whole amphitheater was already filled to the top.

The weather in Denver was perfect and the higher than normal altitude didn't seem to bother any of the fans rocking out in the fucking huge moshpits during the second stage sets. Playing in front of a sold out crowd was the perfect way to end this hot, sweaty, exhausting, but fucking amazing three day weekend of heavy metal!

The second stage was filled for all the bands playing on the Jagermeister and Silver Star stages. The lawn up top in the main amphitheater was filled to the brim before the first band, [FFDP] went on. We met up with Hatebreed's bassist, had a very long, interesting, and insightful interview with the guys from Five Finger Death Punch. We also got some words from Norma Jean and Winds of Plague. Look for those interviews soon on our site.

Aside from a few Rattlesnakes everything went really well. There was smoke, pyro, awesome set pieces. It was just a real rocking' good time. We got some great shots and we encourage our fans to post their photos on our site

The Crowd was just as energetic, front to back. The whole vibe just felt like a good old fashion southwestern heavy metal show. Be sure to stay up to date on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace.

We had a lot of fun in Phoenix last night. Check out the video and photos.

Day 5 - Phoenix, Arizona

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

I walked outside of the bus around 10am and there was already a huge line to get in to the venue. Everyone was hot backstage but they gave it their all. Maria [In This Moment] wasn't going to let the heat bother her on stage. Juliya and I met up with the guys from Chimaira and talked everything from touring, tattoos, and more. They have a new live package coming out July 20th titled, Coming Alive. Check it out next tuesday.

John 5 always has something interesting to say whether it's music, life, or whatever it may be. By mid evening as the sun was going down the clouds came over and the wind picked up which felt good after being in the sun all day. The main stage was packed for all four of the headliners.

Show us your photos from the show. Head over to our site and upload them to the date(s) you went to. Keep up to date on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

We had fun Phoenix, thanks for coming and hanging out with us this year. You guys were fucking awesome!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Check out the Compound Blog from Boise, Idaho. Interviews from Lamb of God, Joey Jordison, and more.

Day 4 - Boise, Idaho

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

Boise showed us that you don't need reserved seats to enjoy the concert. The outdoor area of the Idaho Center was the one place where every metalhead in Idaho congregated the other night. The grass was all torn up, wet, and muddy but it didn't stop people from moshing and having a good time. Once the mainstay area opened it filled up in a matter of minutes.

We rode along with the guys from Five Finger Death Punch to their Meet and Greet at the Rockstar Energy Drink tent. We also met up with Ray from Korn who showed us his crazy awesome drum kit. We'll post up the full interviews from Lamb of God, Joey, and Ray so keep an eye out for them in the coming days.

We want to see your photos from the show. Head over to our site and upload them to the date(s) you went to. Keep up to date on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem.

Thank you Boise for coming out and supporting metal, music, and mayhem!

Day 3 - Auburn, WA

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

I always have a fun time when I'm up in the Seattle area but this, by far, was the craziest thing to happen to Washington in a long time. It was nice to see everybody show up at White River Amphitheater and everyone was pumped up for all the bands this year. Ray, [Korn] was over signing at the Musicians Institute, and we also met up with a few other band members. Today was a special day for Mayhem. Three bands all had albums drop today, "Korn III: Remember Who You Are", Norma Jean's, "Meridional", and In This Moment's highly anticipated record, "A Star-Crossed Wasteland." The fans were psyched and the band members were even more excited. We caught up with a few people at the show and you can check out our Compound video for all the highlights.

Stay tuned for the full exclusive, and intimate interview with In This Moment's Maria Brink. Full interviews from Hatebreed also soon to come. keep an eye out for funny bits from Lamb of God's Randy Blythe throughout the tour. As always, we took a ton of photos, you can check out a few of them below.

Remember we'd like to see your photos from the show. Go to our website and upload them to the specific date(s) you went to. Keep up to date on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as random photos, events, and all things Mayhem. Seattle, you guys were awesome, thank you!!!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:29:41 -0400

When we arrived mid-morning people were already lined up to get into the show. Doors opened at 1:15pm and the second stages took no time to fill up. Later we caught up with Jamey Jasta and Lamb of God's Randy Blythe signing autographs at the Hatewear tent. They will be doing this daily at every venue around 2:15pm.

There are a number of other bands doing meet and greet signings as well. Murderdolls and Rob Zombie were both on scene and we met up for a few short blurbs with them. The side stages cleared out after Hatebreed and In This Moment's sets and everyone poured into the main amphitheater. Five Finger Death Punch went on and they we rocking so loud that the production office behind the stage was rumbling. Lamb of God, Zombie, and Korn all played killer sets and the packed amphitheater loved every minute of it. We were up close and got some photos of their performances.

If you were at the show with camera on hand, head on over, click on the show you went to, and upload your photos to our site. Stay up to date on our Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. We will be sending our updates throughout the show dates as well as other tidbits relating to Mayhem.

Month of Mayhem: Five Finger Death Punch+ More

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:08:48 -0500

From Noisecreep:
"Over the past few months, Five Finger Death Punch and In This Moment have both received Golden God awards from Future publications. In This Moment singer Maria Brink took home Hottest Chick in Metal honors at the Revolver Golden Gods in the U.S. And more recently, FFDP took Best New Band at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods in London. Since the events were on opposite sides of the pond, the bands weren't able to celebrate their victories together, but they'll have plenty of time to toast one another's triumphs on this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival"

Korn Boycott Use Of BP Oil During Touring Season

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:08:48 -0500

"The daily images are hard to watch," says Korn frontman Jonathan Davis. "We need to do our part to let BP know there are consequences for causing something like this. We want to send a message to corporations like BP so that they will take more preventative measures in the future. The more costly their punishment, the more money they will spend to make sure disasters like this don't happen again. It's plain and simple capitalism."

In a timely coincidence of life imitating art, Korn's new album artwork, photography and stage set imagery reference the band's hometown area near Bakersfield, CA and its bleak landscape littered with oil rigs. The video for the first single "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" reveals a poverty-stricken area situated among the rich oil fields and tells a story of a young boy's desire to escape.The video story echoes the band's own struggle out of Bakersfield. Davis adds, "It was one thing for us to grow up near such poverty. But the situation in the Gulf takes things to a whole new level where people's lives and livelihoods are affected forever."

Korn will spend their summer as a headliner on the third annual Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival playing in 14,000 to 30,000 seat amphitheaters.

"We urge the other acts on Mayhem and anyone on tour this year to be with us on this," Davis also said. Korn is touring to support their upcoming album, due out July 13, 2010. The title, 'Korn III - Remember Who You Are', is a reference to the band's past and is a nod to their roots.

"We take a lot of pride in all the art we use," Norma Jean vocalist Cory Brandan told Noisecreep yesterday. "Every record has a certain vibe, and we always want the artwork to represent that same energy. This record has a very specific, very dark feel throughout and I know that of any record we've ever released, this is definitely the best artwork we've ever had. The art was done by Jason Oda of Starvingeyes.com. I've been a fan of his work for years, and it was really awesome to have him working with us. The song in this video is a clip from the song 'The Anthem of the Angry Brides,' which is track two on the new record. I made this video myself." Meridional is set for release on July 13.
