July 24, 2012 HELLYEAH's new album Band of Brothers was released this past week! If you like heavy and hard driving metal, well, Band of Brothers may be for you! The guy's of HellYeah have gone back to their roots and brought back some of the sounds of the bands they have been inspired by or have played in. Basically meaning you get a record full of Mudvayne, Damage Plan, Pantera, and NothingFace. Not a bad combo!

Games To Try Before You Die: Metal Gear Solid (PSX)
July 23, 2012 When I was growing up, I played a lot more Nintendo 64. Now my brother on the other hand had a Playstation. To me at the time, the graphics looked all pixelated, blockey, and whatever. Nintendo 64 seemed so much better to me! Nintendo 64 however, lacked a lot of amazing titles. Games like Final Fantasy, Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, were all on Playstation. One game though really impressed the heck out me though, was Metal Gear Solid.

Metal Moment: Lamb Of God
July 17, 2012 Lot's of crap has been surrounding this group a lot lately. Recently, lead vocalist Randy Blythe was accused of murder by pushing a crazed fan off stage and was arrested and placed in a Czech prison. Metal artist all around are out to support Randy on his innocence! So I think it's a good idea to give this week's METAL MOMENT to LAMB OF GOD!

Games To Try Before You Die: The Lion King (SNES, Genesis)
July 16, 2012 This game gave me so much stress as a kid, I am pretty sure I developed some sort of psychological complex to where I just see this game in my collection, I get angry! I mean seriously, this game was meant for kids, so why does it have to be so DIFFICULT! If you know about this game, I am sure that you broke at least 8 controllers from playing it.

Games To Try Before You Die: Illbleed (Dreamcast)
July 11, 2012 Survival horror games have been one of my favorite genre of games forever! Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Splatterhouse, blood, guts...I love that stuff in games. Survival horror games were at the peak of popularity in the late 90's and early 2000's, so every game developer was trying to cash in on the freak show of games. Then Illbleed came around, and was quickly forgotten.
