Hey everyone. Unless you’re absolutely blind (and if you were you couldn’t see that I’m calling you a sightless douche right now anyway NYAH!), you can see that we’ve completely revamped the site from the ground up and made it quite more intuitive and user-friendly overall.

What’s the reason for this all?

Well frankly we were hacked early last week and I had to rebuild it all anyway!

I don’t have much to say about this… however late last evening Actor, and all round good guy Paul Newman lost his battle with Cancer at the age 83. Most remember Paul Newman for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Color of Money (for which he won an Oscar), The Hustler, The Long Hot Summer, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Sting, Cool Hand Luke, as well as his final role as Hudson Hornet in Pixar’s CARS and of course his charity work, Newman’s Own line of organic food (to which I have been addicted to for a long long time!)

Our thoughts go out to his family during this time.

This sucks.

Metallica – Death Magnetic – 7/10

Metallica is one of the most prominent and well known hard rock/metal bands to ever exist and were one of my favorite bands since early childhood in the 80’s. They had a rocky mid/late 90’s period… and an even worse early 2000’s. Filled with strife, mediocre music, arguing, rehab, and Lars.

Ahem.

What it comes down to is St. Anger was a huge disappointment and an exercise in what not to do on a production. Here we are 5 years later and a new Metallica album, Death Magnetic, is released. Now I have had this album for a bit now and when I decided to write a review on it I had a mental block. I couldn’t get my thoughts gathered about it and my initial thoughts were too critical and not open minded enough, and now my thoughts are scattered again.

Metallica is a love or hate band, and if you love them then you really don’t give a fuck about my review and you’ve been banging your head and paying $80 a show to see them live already. This is a critical review for sure and probably will piss off die hard metallica fans. Sorry.

The album begins with “This Was Just Your Life” and instantly you remember one thing — Lars is just not a good drummer! Its been said 100 times before and will always be said. Lars has nothing good going for him other than a simple 4/4 back beat. It continues throughout the rest of the album — the second thing you’ll notice is James voice is back to being where it should be, and has almost a “…And Justice For All” sound to it, just a little deeper.

It starts strong and continues strong — I won’t lie I did dig this album quite a bit however Metallica isn’t really fooling anyone anymore and its easy to realize that they are doing what’s smart for business and are more of a corporation than a band. They rip their own riffs off, mostly riffs straight from the songs that people always classify as ‘their best’. It works.

The album has a few throw away tracks that should just have been left on the cutting room floor, one of them is “Cyanide”, also “The Unforgiven III” just take up the middle of the album and drag it down to a hole they spend the rest of the album trying to dig out of.

After Unforgiven III completes their first single “Judas Kiss” comes back to where the album was heading all along followed by the return of “We do instrumentals!” Metallica, and the album closer “My Apocalypse” which just rips and I hope the next album is exactly like this song but more!

Overall the whole album sounds like it was supposed to be released right after The Black Album and is superior to The Black Album in almost every single way… there I said it. It’s better than The fucking Black Album. Because it is. Could it be a huge cash in on Metallica’s side? sure, it probably is… didn’t work though since France leaked it.

Of course its possible the reason I really dig it is its refreshing to hear Metallica ripping themselves off instead of other bands ripping off Metallica (Hi Trivium!)

All That Remains – Overcome 7.5/10

Just grabbed this one today, and I admit I was eagerly awaiting this to be released. I truly enjoyed every single last ATR album on different levels and listened with anticipation as they moved and evolved as a band, I was ready to be blown away. The Fall of Ideals set a horribly high standard for ATR, their writing as a band was tighter than on previous albums and Phil LaBonte honed his vocals to a point where he could go from a Death Metal growl to a powerful singing voice in the blink of an eye.

I popped Overcome in and was greeted with a brutal building riff machine coming from the band building up to a show of each of their talents all in the first 35 seconds. Phil comes in sounding like an absolute monster up there with the greats of Death Metal vocalists… that is what I like to call a tease to what is to come… except I was wrong. After the amazing first verse and moshy build up the song takes a fall into horribly Poppy territory when the chorus hits. Phil’s voice hits an almost emo whine during the chorus… this is sadly the direction the album takes.

Mike and Oli destroy with their guitar work. It’s fast, technical, harmonic, and has an amazing song structure to it they are heavy and melodic at all the same time. Jason Costa’s drums back everything up with a great technical display as well, throwing in the double bass and syncopated beats exactly when they are needed. This is the first album with new Bassist Jeanne Sagen, and no offense to her but who cares. The bass plays absolutely no roll in the song writing on this album, it’s barely heard, and doesn’t offer anything special in any way to the songs themselves. It’s really just the way it is.

Phil truly is the weakest link however in this entire album. I don’t mind clean vocals in my metal, quite the contrary. I think its an amazing thing when a vocalist has a truly huge range in his voice and can change styles. As a musician myself I respect that immensely on every single level, when it’s done right. Killswitch Engage, they do it right. Shadows Fall, they do it right. Devin Townsend, He does it right. There’s tons that do it right and All That Remains used to be one of those bands that did it right. However I think either Phil gave into record company pressure — or the truth finally came out that he truly doesn’t like or respect metal… I think in an interview in Guitar World he did state “We’re NOT FUCKING DEATH METAL” and it kind of shows.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like the album overall but it is not without its short comings. I just wish Phil would have stuck to the more powerful clean vocals then what he did on this record. It feels like a reach for the mainstream that they never needed to make. I respect the band, and Phil does seem like a completely down to earth and cool guy to know but his vocals are not my cup of tea on this record…

Special Addendum — These are fully my initial thoughts on my first listen of this cover, I stand by them fully… they will probably piss off people.

Believe in Nothing (Nevermore Cover) – WHAT THE FUCK is this garbage… Phil Labonte has the wussiest sounding voice during this entire song, he has no true emotion and it sounds like absolute shit. Nevermore is one of my absolutely favorite bands for a long time and All That Remains completely ruined one of their best Ballad songs they have ever written. Don’t get me wrong, the musicianship showed by All That Remains is excellent — they do nail the song there. The vocals… my god the vocals absolutely kill the song. Phil fuck yourself if you think you were remotely good on this song.

I’m sure a lot of you around the ‘net have heard the rumors of Bigfoot finally being found in Georgia. Cryptozoologists everywhere are eagerly waiting the Press Conference to happen at 12PST today.

We’ll be updating this story LIVE all day today with every single ounce of news and footage we can possibly find on the Georgia Bigfoot corpse. Is it real? Is it a Hoax? Who knows — all I know is it’s great news! Live-Blogging all day — I love this shit!

I figured it was another Hoax, until it started making the rounds at every major news outlet in America – CNN and Fox News included! The whole problem that I am having with this entire thing is the fact that the ‘Bigfoot Hunter’ is a known Hoaxer himself.

Trust me I fully wish that this was 100% true because the opening this would have for the entire world of Cryptozoology would be HUGE and of course funding for other searches would go through the roof as well, sadly though like I said before, it probably is a hoax but I can’t wait until 3pm EST/12pm PST to find out what happens at this press conference!

Embedded below is the Fox News clip I found on You Tube

Also the CNN Footage:

**UPDATE**

The press conference is LIVE on CNN and CNN.com right now.

–They are being very vague about exactly what is going on, and no DNA evidence has been portrayed yet.

–It is claimed they saw several live specimens as well walking silently parallel to them while they were in the woods as well

–Tom Biscardi keeps interrupting when it comes to specific details on exactly what was found and kept in the freezer. He claims he will be handing out more detailed pictures of the body to every reporter in attendance.

–They are looking to capture a live specimen soon, to place a tracker on to be able to study it. They say they are trying to protect the species.

–Biscardi talks about his past hoaxes and how he was unaware they were hoaxes until he fully examined them and found out that the woman was lying that he believed in. “She was mentally ill”

– 3 DNA samples came back; One was Unknown, One was Human, One was Opossum

– Fox news cut the live feed of the press conference after 5 minutes or so, CNN Continued for a bit but cut before new evidence was presented.

– A Man in a sasquatch costume made it into the press conference holding a sign that said “We hide for a reason”

Update #2
– Found some youtube footage, but not of the actual press conference yet — CNN Pulled the feed right after the press conference was over… could it be because it was a hoax or because of a deeper conspiracy/coverup of the truth?

Here’s a snippit from the CNN Press conference live:

And finally 5 blurry minutes of the press conference as well:

Now I know reading this it seems like I’m buying into a possible hoax, but like I said before — I am just hopefull it’s not. I really wish it was true, same with Loch Ness Monster, Champ, Dragons, Aliens, etc. I’ll believe until someone can prove otherwise; which is impossible

Also check out this site for a lot of good debunking of the whole thing with a lot of good ideas and reasons behind a possible hoax!

UPDATE #3: PICTURES!

We got our hands on some pictures from the Bigfoot Discussion Board of the Bigfoot Claim! Check out the Board here for higher res pictures of the ones I posted to the right!

The First Picture: is a blur in the woods that resembles a humanoid type creature. It resembles next to nothing and is rather unimpressive overall. Looks exactly like everyone elses “sasquatch” photos that have been around since the original.

The Second Picture: Close up of the mouth and tongue – this just looks quite off to me, the tounge seems way too thin and the ammount of teeth for a creature this big is surprisingly low. People have commented on the cleanliness of the teeth however who knows the hygene of a creature we’re not even sure exists, also it could just be the lighting during the shot. But the fact that it appears to only have a front row of teeth is disconcerning.

UPDATE #4

Found a link to the FULL 45 minute press conference, unfortunately I can’t rip it and upload it to my server while at work, however if the link still works when I get home I will do just that!

BIGFOOT PRESS CONFERENCE *FULL*

Also Discovery.com posted a full on “This is a Hoax” article today — Read it HERE.

UPDATE #5

They apparently are going to be on MSNBC within an hour or so tonight as well — if I can find a feed of it I will let you know Right away!

Everything seems to have calmed down quite a bit since the press conference, there’s a lot of good discussions going on however on the legitimacy of the stories of course as it would always be in any Cryptozoology case.

MSNBC Video:

The MSNBC article on the case is located HERE: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26222822/

**FINAL UPDATE**

It indeed has been discovered to be a hoax, Tom Biscardi is claiming that he paid the GA boys a LARGE sum of money and they gave him the body, once it thawed they ran with the money and left Biscardi with the melted remains of a costume, incidentally the same costume in our Bigfoot vs Rednecks logo!

Here’s the final YouTube clip on the subject!

As a huge Punisher fan this pains me SO much to say, however the word around the internet is thus: Lionsgate is trying to water down Punisher: War Zone and make it into a PG-13 action film. If any of you have seen the Red Band trailer (Embedded below) you’ll realize there will be NOTHING left of the film if it’s watered down and cut to shit the way I fear it will be.

This is what Punisher fans want!

It’s really just sad that they might chop this down to a PG-13 just because they want to gear it towards a younger crowd. Sorry — but it’s fucking THE PUNISHER. The people who will go to see this movie are the same crowd that made Punisher MAX a huge hit! The same people who loved the Widowmaker story line! Come on Lionsgate! Just bite the bullet and release it as an ‘R’!

**Update**

Found this over at Cinematical!

Gainer is pretty fed up with all the rumors circulating, and insists that Lexi Alexander is not off the film, she’s very much involved in the editing process, the film will not be PG-13, and that she did get married. Gainer writes, “When I hear vicious unfounded troll rumors like the “film was unwatchable” or “a total mess” it makes my blood boil. I want to punish the corrupt. People sit on their fat asses trolling the internet, people that have never even looked through a motion picture camera, and make judgements [sic] on a work of art that they’ve never seen, it’s like saying a baby will be ugly before it is born, I can’t freaking wait for this film to come out and prove the nay-sayers wrong.”
