Here are a few pieces of metal news worth a mention that I don’t feel like writing full articles about. Bravewords.com reports that The Dong Open Air Festival in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany on July 17th through the 19th, sold in in 4 hours. You can find out what bands are performing at Dong at w...

Large Hadron Collider Cern We all know this is some feat of engineering. However, it’s extremely difficult to get a scale of the project. Not only is it impossible to imagine the sizes of particles whizzing around at beyond breakneck speeds, but it’s even more difficult to get an idea of...

A quick run down of some things in the news today. Some are a big deal, others are not so much. Lamb Of God: Wrath leaked a few days ago. Chances are if you download it, you will probably still buy it when it comes out…unless you absolutely hate it or you’re just a cheap bastard. I kind ...

Being a Transformer and all, we've seen Optimus Prime in a variety of different forms. And here comes another -- scrap metal. Optimus 'Scrap Metal' Prime is made entirely out of welded metal and makes for some serious eye/tetanus candy. Made by Robot-Models, this particular Optimus stands over 7-fee...

Rupert the tramp was a familiar figure in Gorton during the late seventies, early eighties. He was tall, gaunt and easily recognised by his shabby greasy clothes and wild hair that gave him a Ben Gun appearance. Most days he could be seen walking the empty streets of terraced houses awaiting demolit...
