The Case For Trivium

Just a forewarning, this article will be a rather extensive read. "Oh joy, a super long article on Trivium!" I can hear many of you sarcastically saying as you roll your eyes. This article is actually to address and hopefully correct that very notion that made you roll your eyes in the first place. Trivium has always taken a lot of flack over the years from the online community.  Granted, some may have been justified, but the purpose of this article is to provide evidence that not only is most of that flack unjustified but that you should also be grateful that they’re around in the current mainstream metal scene.

We'll Do It Live Fridays: Machine Mayhem

 

Being so caught up in what has been dubbed the "snowpocalypse" here in the midwest over the past few days, I totally forgot to throw up my WDILF post.  But don't be worried.  As they say, it's better late than never.  This week's WDILF post involves a band I'm very excited will be featured on this year's upcoming Mayhem Festival.  Check to see who it is after the break.

And Your 2011 Mayhem Lineup......(Drum Roll, Please)

I think it's pretty apparent by now that when Mayhem Festival states on their site that "announcements will be released in January," that means these announcements will arrive on January 31. They even teased us a little bit this year by saying the lineup would be announced last Wednesday.  PSYCH!  But here it is, folks.  At long last, the lineup for the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival has been officially released.  Below after the break you can find the full lineup, dates, and my first impressions of the lineup (something tells me it won't be as good as 2009 was).
