DANGER DAYS: THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE





Finally after four years of silence from MCR they release this record that just screams rebellion, anarchy and end of days in a slightly mature rebel without a cause sort of way. What a way to come back with an apocalyptic, in your face, I don’t give a f*** attitude album. It was also said that this album was a troubled one to make. But we should all be glad that they decided to continue on and create this awesome album. Danger Days. . . Is one of the best albums that came out towards the end of 2010 into 2011. it’s a great record to start the year of with.
I give this a: 9

7TH SYMPHONY- APOCALYPTICA





If you are a fan of Symphonic rock, then you’ll like Apocalyptica’s 7th Symphony. The musicians from Apocalyptica are one of a kind. They a classically trained Finnish band. Having started as a Metallica Tribute band then evolving into a band of their own right and working with such artist as Lauri Halonan from The Rasums and Ville Valo from HIM to create the song “Bittersweet”. In this album “7th Symphony” They feature guest appearances from Lacey of “Flyleaf” to Brent Smith of “Shinedown”
I give this an: 8 1/2

A THOUSAND SUNS - LINKIN PARK




I guess you can say the are now former nu-metal genre band. Since they have accomplished what they wanted to do in terms of a new sound for the band. The main band’s songwriter Mike Shinoda totally did a 360 with this new record because it doesn’t sound like their previous albums (Minutes to Midnight, Meteora and Hybrid Theory).
I am glad that this album came out sounding different from the last couple of albums they’ve put out. It shows that they are ready to try something new and not be defined and confined to a particular sound.
I give it :10 (Based on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest)

Daniel Lioneye to open for Cradle Of Filth Concert on Feb 8th 2011 at CLUB NOKIA

As you may have or may not of known, that CRADLE OF FILTH is on tour and soon they will be heading to Los Angeles on the 8th of February at Club Nokia. I have made it my mission to attend this event for a couple of reasons but one of them being that Finnish Musician Daniel Lioneye will open for the Main acted.

For those that don't know who DANIEL LIONEYE is well let me tell you. He is AKA LINDE from HIM (a Finnish, Love Metal band) HIM is a very successful band. They have a large fan base in Europe and Scandinavia but for some reason a huge fan base in the US. Which I think is a shame. They are really good. But I think is due illegal downloads of their music which may be why they are not as successful here in the States. Any way DANIEL LIONEYE aka LINDE is a side project that started back in 2000-2001 when HIM had some down time.

The First Album to come from that project was "King of Rock N Roll" With LINDE aka (DANIEL LIONEYE) as the vocals and guitar, Mikko Heinrik Julius ‘MigĂ© Amour' Paananen on bass, Ville Hermanni ‘Rakohammas' Valo on drums, Kai ‘Hiili' Hiilesmaa on keyboards.




After a nine years of inactivity LINDE aka DANIEL LIONEYE returned to the Studio this time with H.I.M. keyboardist Janne "Burton" Puurtinen and Enochian Crescent drummer Black Vomit Bolton for what came to be an industrialized black metal experiment album.

How To Destroy Angels

Trent Reznor has done it again with his new band HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS. This newly anticipated band consist of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, lead vocals Mariqueen Maandig formerly from West Indian Girl. I had to find this from Rock It Out Blog's Youtube Channel. I was in amazment that trent was trying something new outside of Nine Inch Nails.


                                      HTDA are T. Reznor, A. Ross & M. Maandig


The first song I heard from How To Destroy Angels was "A Drowning". From beginning to end I was entrance by the lyrics and sound. I must say it is different from Nine Inch Nails but you can still here just a little bit of the NIN signature sound. I feel like its more like a very stripped down sound of Nine Inch Nails. I don't know why I just do. Mariqueen's voice is just pure with a hint of . . . experience. Its like you can clearly hear her tell you a story but without really telling you what its about. Its like you just know already. And I love that. Here is the song posted below from MickVon666 on youtube enjoy!



The Second song was "Space In Between". OMG, I saw this music video official released by the band and was just awe struck but the concept of it. This has to be the most original video I've ever seen. I just have to give kudos to the person responsible for the fire scenes. How the Mariqueen just sat there and let the flame consume her entire body along with Trent Reznor was just amazing (I know its not real) but the way it was excuted was just freakin amazing. To all who hasn't seen this video please watch it. I've posted the video below
