| Mike V’s Revolution Mother - The New Black Flag? |
| 2008-07-04 10:57:12 |
Mike V, the well-known pro skateboarder, has lined up a punk band called Revolution Mother. I came across with Revolution Mother few days ago as I was watching videos of Mike V skateboarding. What’s my first impression? We’ve got the new Black Flag!

| Tracedawn - Who, What? Oh, THAT Tracedawn! |
| 2008-06-28 11:23:34 |
Holy MotherTruckers! Last Friday, as I was driving back home, I listened to Radio Rock here in Finland. I stopped my car and went to shop while Stam1na’s Susi-Ihminen was played in the radio. But as I came back, I heard something that was totally new to me. “Goddamn, what’s this?”, I remember thinking.

| Roope Latvala of Children of Bodom is the First Guitar Hero in Finland |
| 2008-06-25 07:58:02 |
Back in the mid-80’s I used to listen to Stone, one of the very first and very potential thrash metal bands in Finland. Stone was different. They were so unique and pumped with adrenaline. Since the first moment I heard their “Get Stoned“, I was their true fanboy.

| Burzum Rocks - But Why? |
| 2008-06-12 13:48:41 |
What Burzum’s classic song Det Som En Gang Var has common with Satyricon’s new song King? Old school black metal dudes might say “F*** NOTHING!”, but hold on. I think there is something common. I love both Satyricon and Burzum. Both represent classic Norwegian black metal bands, but that is not the only reason why [...]...

| Why Finnish Music is so Popular in Japan? |
| 2008-06-10 18:52:34 |
If you compare two cultures, Japanese and Finnish, you won’t find many similarities. May be the only common this is that both Japanese and Finns are workaholics. When it comes to music, I can’t see much similarity. So, why on Earth Finnish metal and even folk music bands are pretty popular in Japan? Some Finnish [...]...

| Motley Crue: The Saints of Los Angeles - Still Going Strong |
| 2008-05-09 06:16:03 |
Oh boy, I listened to Motley Crue days and nights back in the 1980’s. As a small town kid I dreamed of rockstar lifestyle and considered Vince Neil as my idol. Oh yes, that was me as 12 years old. Later on I realized that may be Vince Neil is not the best role model [...]...

| Lovex - For Girls and Faggets? Well, I Might Be Wrong.. |
| 2008-04-26 18:50:37 |
You know those boy-bands like Take That and New Kids On The Block or whatever they are called. Most of the metalheads don’t listen to those bands just because their music is boring and they represent something we don’t want to associate with. Some folks might drop Lovex into this same category. I heard about [...]...

In March 2008 we asked “What Do You Think of Metalcore?”. According to the results most people love metalcore. I expected higher resistance to metalcore, so this time our poll was surprising for me.
The choices in the poll were:

| How About Some Grunge? - Review of Nirvana Nevermind DVD |
| 2008-03-26 16:07:59 |
It is the early 1990’s. Thrash metal is literally dead and grunge hysteria is growing from Seattle. A band called Nirvana is blasting out from every kid’s ghettoblaster, including mine. I am one of the last Mohicans of thrash metal in my high school, but I’m also turning my head towards grunge. There something raw, [...]...

| Do You Hate Metalcore? |
| 2008-03-15 04:00:39 |
MetalMartyr writes how tired it is to hear people saying “I hate metalcore”. In fact, it is tired to hear people complaining how they hate this metal genre and that metal genre. I agree with Scott (the author of MetalMartyr.Com). Many times when people say they hate this and that genre, they actually don’t have [...]...
