Too Heavy To Hug
Corey Taylor has been making metal headlines recently by calling out all sorts of shit during interviews. His first shot was aimed at Kanye West where he said something a long the lines of, if you need to call yourself the world’s greatest rock star (kinda like how Kanye refers to himself as) then you’re not the world’s greatest rock star. Seems fair enough. In a different (radio) interview, Corey then suggested Axl Rose stop being a “douchebag” by making Guns N Roses fans wait for up to three hours for the band to appear on stage. Again, seems fair enough.

Music For Nations is back! The once trustworthy brand associated with black and death metal disappeared from the record store shelves some time ago, so strap yourselves in because soon that large Music For Nations (MFN) logo running up the spine of a CD should also hopefully be back.

The very first issue from the very first volume of Metal Music Studies is available now. The website states “Metal Music Studies is the journal for the International Society for Metal Music Studies”. When capitals begin almost every word in a sentence you know you’re looking at something important.

Somehow, it seems, the mainstream metal press is suddenly obsessed with Papa Roach. The latest thing I read was that vocalist Jacoby Shaddix is going to launch a clothing line called Lovers Are Lunatics. He has been quoted as saying the style will be “real basic” – and if you read about fashion, you’ll know that the term “basic” pretty much means “shit”. Yep, much like Papa Roach’s music, the associated fashion is going to be “real shit”.

In case you missed it, the third round of Soundwave 2015 bands was announced and included the likes of King Parrot, Exodus and Steel Panther. Also included on that line-up is The Smashing Pumpkins. That’s right, that very same band who wrote ‘1979’, which gets played on Gold 104 (I think), that very same band who’s fronted by a vocalist who whinges and whines over the rest of the band’s super simple, super boring instrument practice sessions they call music.

Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal. Wayne Static of Static X has passed away at age 48. At time of writing this the cause hasn’t been confirmed but the internet and his colleagues, in their public outpouring, have mentioned a drug overdose. A hurried press release some hours later stated he died in his sleep.

Five albums in, there’s honestly nothing much to say about Slipknot’s latest effort. As a follow-up to 2008’s All Hope is Gone, .5: The Gray Chapter sits quite nicely, but in the whole scheme of things, since after Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), the band has toned down their maniacal, frenzied and hectic sound, tightened up their scattered and sporadic arrangements and wrapped their tracks up in nice neat little accessible packages.

According to the internet it appears the early results are in: .5: The Gray Chapter is good, apparently. For the Slipknot haters who think they should have broken up after Paul Gray passed and/or after Joey Jordison left then the above news is sad, very sad news indeed.
