Journal and Courier IN 
For the December Hard-n-Heavy Extreme showcase three eardrum blasting metal bands will help you forget about being on the naughty list. Chicago death metal act Nekropsy will make its Lafayette debut. This brutal band features vocalist Paul Garcia a former member of national touring metal act Gorgasm. pening will be Lafayette’s own death metal band Catatonic Atrocity and thrashers Narrow House. Catatonic Atrocity is backed by longtime local metal drummer Kevin Baum and is fronted by Human Filleted vocalist and guitarist Kyle Christman.

Dave Mustaine and the newest incarnation of Megadeth are hard at work in their Phoenix AZ studio. Slayer have already debuted a new song on their European tour and expect to release their 10th studio album soon. Ronnie James Dio and his former Black Sabbath bandmates are recording new music as Heaven & Hell in what looks to be a long-term band. Anthrax has reportedly written an album’s worth of material and the re-activated Alice In Chains have promised to have new music and a tour for fans in ’09.

Top 10 Local Concerts of 2008
NBC Washington DC 
” >Black Mountain and Bon Iver Feb. 19 Rock & Roll Hotel Sharing little more than a record label and an appreciation for the distant history of pop and rock music Black Mountain and Bon Iver shared the stage at Rock & Roll Hotel. The show drew two very different crowds packing the room and put on two very different sets. Alone each band’s set would have made for two of the best of the year but only because they were packed into the same night did this show crack the Top 10. Justin Vernon put a band together for his set of lonesome wintry and soulful bedroom folk but the music remained simple and sparse Vernon’s strumming and rustic falsetto remained center stage and the songs lived up to their recorded beauty. For the first 20 minutes or so of Black Mountain’s set a steady trickle of Bon Iver fans fled ultimately easing the elbowing but — given the venue’s long narrow layout — causing a lot of pushing for the duration of the exodus.

You couldn’t do that back then. You could only imagine that. What this game allows you to do is physicalize heavy metal music. You can do battle with this dramatic dangerous music as your score. It’s a real wish-fulfillment game for me. How is working in games different from in movies? Black: It’s exciting to me because it’s still relatively new. It’s an art form that hasn’t really reached its potential yet.

I’m also pretty pumped that I now get to do the columns while listening to the music on my new Sennheiser HD 555 headphones.
