In the wake of the untimely and sad passing of Jeff Hanneman; the question begs to be asked as to what is the future of SLAYER? And for that matter; what is the future of the Big Four of American Thrash? I find it interesting and disturbing that out of all the surviving original SLAYER members; that only estranged drummer, Dave Lombardo, has made any public comments. I hope that Tom and Kerry will have something to say on the matter soon. I also hope that they will have e...

During the early and mid-90’s the Rave Scene in Houston was at its peak. I even set my drums aside and procured a mixer and a couple of Pioneer digital decks. Collectives like the Matrix Crew and the Purrin Lion Crew threw some of the most killer events and parties. DJ’s from all over the country and the world came through Houston to spin at events large and small. When the Rave Scene died in the mid 2000’s, the events moved to established clubs. F...

Louisiana’s sons of Blackened Death Groove – Goatwhore, tore through a blistering 1 hour set at Fitzgerald’s last night. My girlfriend and I got to meet and chat with Mr. Sammy Duet (guitar/vocals) at the bar before he hit the stage. Sammy was super nice, humble, and soft spoken. I’ve met and talked to Ben Falgoust (lead vocals) before and he was also hella-cool. Really great guys. It was quite a strange bill of bands last night. Most of the other bands were a cheesy blen...
My younger brother wrote this really great piece. Read and enjoy! Yet another SXSW under our belts, and I always enjoy myself thoroughly despite the post-festival hangover. Not only does the festival provide me the opportunity to see some great music, but it gives me the chance to hang with my brother. Yes indeed, that means experiencing some in-your-face METAL. Growing up with Aamir, I’ve always enjoyed the heavier side of things when it comes to music. I wouldn’t cal...

Bubby, Wubby, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Moo-moo Mummy, Mammie, Chubby, Tuggy Buggy, Snuggy, Squishy, ChuggleBuggle, Ha-Hoonie, FrickerFracker, and the list goes on and on. All names that I call my beloved kitty. My beautiful furry baby came into my life in June of 2005. She was only 5 weeks old. She was snotty and had a goopy eye. She still has the goopy eye due to a blocked tear duct that I have to wipe every other day or so. She has grown to be an extremely unique, peculiar, charming, and adorable cat. Tal...
When I found out that Testament, Overkill, and Flotsam & Jetsam were touring together this year, I almost peed my pants. Talk about Thrash Metal greatness! The last and only time I had ever seen Flots was in 1987 in Norwalk, Connecticut at the legendary Anthrax Club. The last and only time I had seen Overkill was in Houston in 1988. I’ve seen Testament many times since the 80’s through the present. And when I saw that they were selling VIP tickets th...

It’s Christmas time. The made-up religious holiday for Christian folk that has devolved into a base level commercial free for all. Made-up you ask? It’s not Jesus’ birthday. It was a pagan holiday during the Roman Empire when they celebrated the birth of a Bull God. The Christians decided to steal their thunder and claim it as their day as well. But I digress. Peace? Love? Giving? I think not. Taking? Yes! And taking what is not yours…hell yes! Crime goes up around this ...
