 Tommy Iommi confirmed today to Birmingham Mail that himself, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward have all reunited to give the original incarnation of Black Sabbath one more go. The reunion has been kept mum, but in the works for awhile — Iommi and Osbourne spent June writing material for a record to be released in 2012. Tour rehearsals are already in the works. The only concern that Iommi seemed to think foreseeable is the health of Bill Ward, who he admitted is not currently at 100%.
Whatever it was that possessed men in their 60s to get the idea into their head to say, “Hey! Let’s get the old band back together!” well, sweet christ, we’re glad it’s happening.
UPDATE, 8/16/11 at 17:45: Blabbermouth is now reporting a statement by Tommy Iommi where he says that there has been NO official confirmation; that essentially the Birmingham Mail journalist spoke out of turn. Read more at their site.

 Aaron Stoquert has written the perfect Zombie soundtrack. If you like Nick Cave and Tom Waits haunting style this will be right up your alley. As I write this the lyrics “Think of us as the world dies” flow like blood out of my Bose ear buds. I highly recommend purchasing anything Aaron has to offer to support his sheer understanding of mood and aural texture.
If you do not see Aaron’s name in the credits of an HBO series soon something’s wrong with the world…
Listen to what he has to offer here

 What caught my attention right away about this trailer was SOD(Storm Troopers Of Death for all you youngsters) the 80s Anthrax side band featuring Scott Ian and Billy Milano, prominently feature both musically and in tee shirt form! I will check this out just because of that! I remember how excited I was when I watched The River’s Edge and heard Slayer dominate the car rides in that film!
See the trailer and Bloody-Disgusting’s complete theater lis after the jump!

 On its premise, it may sound like a joke. But from January 24 – January 28, 2011, you can take a cruise from Miami to Cozumel… with 40 heavy metal bands. Royal Caribbean Cruises presents 7000 Tons of Metal.
Dark Tranquility is the latest band to be added to the line-up (which currently has 31 of the 40 slots filled). Other bands you can vacay with in the Caribbean include Exodus, Fear Factory, Iced E arth, Finntroll, Testament and a shitload more of pale, long haired dudes who you’d never picture outside the Nordic realm. The photo-ops alone of these bands kicking it in the tropics alone almost makes it worth the base ticket price: 666 dollars. (Price includes all entertainment and meals.) Check the full line-up thus far. And can you just… can you just imagine what this will be like? A whole cruise filled with Sodom fans? And what if this f’n ship sinks? VIKING FUNERAL? (more…)

 First, a few things said about Boyd Rice:
1) Boyd Rice was a black pimp.
2) Boyd Rice was my mentor.
3) Boyd Rice is an Iconoclast.
The speaker of each quote, respectively? Charles Manson, Marilyn Manson, and Anton LaVey. (more…)

 When I heard Danzig would be doing an appearance on Fox News’ show Red Eye tonight, I actually thought I was being messed with. But the segment just ended. And it’s true. Glenn Danzig was just on Fox News Channel in 2010. The segment started out with some clips from Danzig’s new video, and then we got to see Glenn himself – who did the interview from behind a pair of black shades. Host Greg Gutfield started out by complimenting Glenn on how great he looked. Glenn shrugged off the compliment, saying he wasn’t obsessed with the gym, he just works out when he can. He talked a little about his diet – that he hasn’t had pork in 30 years, etc. etc. Don’t worry – it gets better. Glenn had some things to say about Misfits t-shirts, an expanded tour and… the Obama administration. (more…)

 More often than not, the soundtrack for any given episode of True Blood is unbearably cool. So if you didn’t feel like spending tons of money to pick up the DVDs for True Blood – Season 2 yesterday, you’ve got another option that’ll send you back down to Bon Temps, and make you remember all the dancing, black eyed insanity of Season 2. After the jump we’ve got the full track listings for the soundtrack for True Blood – Season 2 and YouTubes of some of the best songs. Obviously, pick it up on iTunes, or Amazon, or certain other types of websites. (more…)

 What to say about this comic. I’m sure if you’re reading this site, the chances are pretty good that you’ve had the seminal debate of, “Who would win in a fight? Henry Rollins or Glenn Danzig?” Igloo Tornado has taken this coupling one step further in their latest mini-comic, asking us all, “What would happen if Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig were actually lovers, in a stormy, yet caring, relationship?” One of the causes of their dramas? The satanists living next door – Hall and Oates. It’s almost too much to take in with one synopsis. I suggest doing like I did, and ordering yourself a copy for $4 from Microcosm. Or checking back here to see how we review it. Then ordering a copy. Still shocked this exists, and probably nothing sums it up better than the back cover quote they managed to score from Henry – which you can check out on Microcosm.
