metal_community [ ominusbludvomit ]	8:59p	Oh, so now it's Metal to be in the DethMas Spirit? Can I just say, I cannot wait for Christmas!! The presents, the food, the whole celebrating the birth of our lord and savio--... Oh right, I'm not Christian, so fuck that last little bit, there. Not having any religious ties to this coming holiday season, might I say how excited I am to exploit the day as much as possible for what it really is? While I celebrate, I'll likely be listening to this: Yesh. iz meddel. (6 Comments |Comment on this)
metal_community [ boblovesmusic ]	8:10p	a quick open letter to Sabaton Dear Sabaton, Please tour the US at some point in 2010! When you do, be sure to stop by Boston.

If you could play Panzerkampf, that would be amazing (however if you don't, no hard feelings)! Sincerely, Wren (4 Comments |Comment on this)

metal_community [ ominusbludvomit ]	3:23a	Dio Update "Well, it has been a very exhausting month - after all the neverending tests in Los Angeles, we flew to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, and as soon as we arrived, we got a call from the MD Anderson Hospital that they had an appointment for us with the doctor we originally wanted, so we then flew to Houston to the clinic, and of course MORE tests, but Ronnie finished receiving his first chemo treatment on Wednesday, and all is going very well. I would like to thank Tony Martell from the T.J. Martell Foundation, Dr. Stuart Aaronson from Mount Sinai, Lindsay Brown and Mike Carden from Eagle Records, and our very own Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, for all your help in getting us into MD Anderson, and also our friends Geezer and Gloria Butler, who flew to Houston to be with Ronnie while he had his chemo. Ronnie and I are totally overwhelmed by the amount of well wishes that we have received from friends and fans - we are reading them all. Some make us laugh, some make us cry, but all of them are so filled with love that it gives us so much support and makes Ronnie even more determined to fight this battle and win. Thank you all for the positive energy and prayers." In the meantime, Heaven And Hell are confirmed to play the Sonisphere festivals in Sweden, Finland and Czech Republic, as well as the Nova Rock festival in Austria. --Wendy Dio ronniejamesdio.com Current Music: Wintersun - Beautiful Death | Powered by Last.fm (8 Comments |Comment on this)

metal_community [ thrashbear ]	1:17p	So there's this meme going around my circles, thought it appropriate to share here. X-posted to my personal LJ. If you had to pick the song or songs to be played at your funeral right now...what would it/they be? If I was picking songs at my funeral right now, I suspect the crowd would be running out of the funeral home in abject terror at this zombie metalhead teddybear making requests of a horrified DJ. Seriously, though, I couldn't give a shit, I'll be too dead to care. But what the hell, I'll play along. Eaten Back To Life by Cannibal Corpse. You can't get rid of me that easily. Maybe Dead By Dawn by Deicide Here are a few that I like to play while I am alive: Lust For Life by Gamma Ray. Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor Eagle Fly Free by Helloween Long Since Dark by Sanctuary I see a pattern... (20 Comments |Comment on this)
metal_community [ ironlord ]	11:45a	Further non-hailing of the Roman Gods Grovelling apologies to metalmassacre13 for not finalising her application a lot earlier. In my defence, I was out having a life for three days, but I also realise I could have done it while I was in Whitby and was making my last post, and clean forgot. Bah. Worry ye not, now, for you have the run of the community. Now show us what you've got! So, at this point, we are back up to 100 members. Not all of them active, mind. Some have had to have more than one voted-on application to be here. There are also 82 former members, some originally carried over from t'old community that we don't talk about any more. And in all the four years this community has been here, there have only been 23 rejected applications. Two of those were from the same person, and three later tried again and succeeded. And of the 19 remaining failures, four happened in the first couple of months, leaving an average of approximately one failure every three months. That's really not a bad average. Also, this morning, I received a bar of chocolate in the post from hakucho_cygnus. This was not a retrospective bribe for MOTM, but if anyone wants to send me anything else in the post, whether it be chocolate, beer, reindeer jerky, Clutch bootlegs or cuddly Abbath toys, I might just consider bumping you up the queue for January. Heh. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

metal_community [ shallowthing ]	7:28a	Almost a fortnight ago, I did another stint behind the decks at Nottingham Trent University’s Assault rock, metal and alternative night.

metal_community [ thunarr ]	9:15p	Mike Alexander Memorial stuff I recently received several FFDP promo shirts and 7" singles from Dante Bonutto at Spinefarm UK for use in competitions on my show. I am intending to auction one of these shirts and singles, with the proceeds to go to Mike's memorial fund. I hope you will be able to support me in this effort. I will be publishing the details for making bids on my blog at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com and in the next Wyrd Ways Rock Show, which will be posted to the same website this coming Sunday. The same show will also appear on PureRockRadio.net on the following Friday at 10pm GMT. I would appreciate it if you were able to post details on your websites and MySpace sites. Thanks for your time. (Comment on this)

metal_community [ sunless_dawn ]	3:03p	More pointless ranking Because I enjoy arbitrary lists: Best of the 1990's in metal. I am actually going to limit it to 5 per year this time, otherwise this list would get out of control. ( Right here, son. ) Though there are some odd ones out, that list surprised me more than I thought. There's kind of a coherent narrative throughout the decade.. Death metal, then black metal, and then things apparently went all kind of haywire and random. Does anyone think the 00's told a "story" in metal? My list seemed rather haphazard, even when organized by year. Thoughts? Current Mood: tired Current Music: Enslaved - 793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne) | Powered by Last.fm (6 Comments |Comment on this)
metal_community [ aiden_macleod ]	3:34a	"...So Ends A Decade, Now What Will The Oh-Tens Hold?" Following in simonb3's digitized, text-based version of footsteps, I have concocted my own special "list" of favorite groups of metal anthems. It is a strong brew of many different flavors, so drink it deeply, and savor each swig, FOR IT MAY BE YOUR LAST.

metal_community [ simonb3 ]	5:12p	Top 50 of the Decade What, you thought not following my journal would mean that you don't get to hear my opinions did you? Nonsense! Here are the best fifty metal albums released in the last ten years - if you think something else should be included it probably wasn't quite this good, was good but not metal, or was shit (like your taste :smug:) but please suggest away anyway. Also sometime later this month I'm going to do a top 100 albums of the last decade across all genres but I probably won't post it here.

metal_community [ sunless_dawn ]	4:59p	Time to roll out the ol best of the decade list. Though I would certainly have no trouble producing a best of the 70's, 80's or 90's list, the 00's was the first decade where I experienced most of the material as it was new, more or less untainted by fanboy nostalgia. So I'll attempt to pick just a couple for each year of the decade, as opposed to some other lists I've seen that catalog 100 albums or more. Everyone else should share theirs, or tell me how wrong my list is. ( Epic List. It got a bit more bloated than intended. ) Current Mood: nervous Current Music: Riff Cannon - Into The Mountain | Powered by Last.fm (4 Comments |Comment on this)

metal_community [ shallowthing ]	8:18a	A small piece of celebrity gossip, mainly for tinaviel: At the Swallow the Sun/Insomnium/Omnium Gatherum gig last night (it was awesome, by the way; more on that later, most likely), I bumped into a chap I used to work with called Rod, who just happens to be good friends with everybody’s favourite Nottingham-based mighty metal pixie Martin Walkyier (Sabbat, Skyclad, and The Clan Destined, in case anyone doesn’t already know). Apparently, Martin “would have been here tonight, but he’s got really bad toothache.” Also, there’s going to be a new The Clan Destined release in 2010. Rod says that it’s “Much, much heavier… more traditional than In The Big Ending.” Current Mood: Amused Current Music: Omnium Gatherum - 'A Song for December' (1 Comment |Comment on this)
