Tonight’s Rock Show on Killer Bunny TV talks to the likes of Meshuggah who have recently brought a big chunk of US music fans to their knees with their usual brutal, hypnotic blend of clinical…metal.
Plus, Fenriz from Darkthrone, a band from the original batch of naughty Norwegian black metal acts who have been boosting Norway’s tourist industry since the Nineties, tells us why he goes to great lengths to avoid anyone who attempts to approach him. Even his own boss.
Rock bands do not sell as many albums as they used to and are forced to spend months on the road to earn a decent living. Our main interview with Dunderbeist vocalist, Torgrim Torve will give you more of an insight into how bad things really are and why they need to steal to keep afloat.
Anders Eek, a founding member of Norwegian cult doom band FUNERAL, was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack on Tuesday, May 29.While Eek remains in stable condition, further tests need to be done in order for doctors to decide the next step.
Eek will spend the next few days in the hospital, in accordance with the doctor’s orders.
Although very fatigued, Eek is confident he will be able to get back on his feet soon.
FUNERAL recently completed work on a new studio album, “Oratorium”, due later in the year via Grau Records.
The band’s last CD, “As The Light Does The Shadow”, came out in September 2008 through Indie Recordings.

The CD will be released in the beginning of June.

Canadian blackened death metal blasphemers WEAPON have completed the recording of their long-awaited Relapse debut entitled “Embers And Revelations”. The band entered the studio on March 18 to record the CD along with producer Terry Paholek at The Physics Lab in their hometown of Edmonton, Canada. Continuing on the same scathing path as their previous works, the upcoming release, planned for the fall of 2012, is sure to be their most vicious and all-out evil offering to date.
Commented WEAPON guitarist/vocalist Vetis Monarch: “WEAPON loyalists can expect no-holds barred, satanic death metal that the band displayed on its previous work, but further refined and sharpened to ferocious perfection. ‘Embers And Revelations’ will be the apex of malice via music.”
WEAPON has confirmed a three-week tour with black metal legends MARDUK and 1349, with additional support from WITHERED. The trek begins this Saturday, June 2 in Baltimore, Maryland and ends on June 20 in San Diego, California. Immediately following these dates, WEAPON will headline a string of shows with support from WITHERED, HOD, NIGHTBRINGER and BLASPHERIAN on select dates.
Drummer Mark “Bam Bam” McConnell, who was a member of former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach‘s touring band from 1997 to 2005, passed away on Thursday, May 24 in a Gainesville, Florida hospital. According to unconfirmed online reports, the musician’s liver and kidneys had shut down, which led to partial brain damage.
McConnell‘s niece Erin McConnell, who is always referred to as his sister because they grew up together (raised by his mom), has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding his passing:
“On May 24, we all lost an amazing, incredibly talented and dedicated musician, Mark ‘Bam Bam’ McConnell.
“Mark‘s passing came as a complete shock to us all.
“The past few days have been intensely overwhelming in every respect. As his family, our focus has been directed at making sure we keep Mark‘s best interests in mind and to follow his wishes.
“We would like to thank everyone for respecting our privacy and giving us the time we need.
“Mark was taken from us too soon, but he lived life to the fullest and on his own terms.
“To all of us, Mark leaves behind his love and kindness, along with the humor and passion for music that he shared with everyone — family, friends and fans alike. He will never be forgotten.
“For the music industry, Mark leaves behind a legacy. He was and will always be one of the most gifted drummers in the world. His passion and madness behind the drum kit were unmatched. He played with some of the biggest names in the music industry, and everyone who had the opportunity to make music with him will tell you what an honor it was. Mark‘s spirit will live on forever in the hearts of many and through his music.
“We would like to send out our deepest appreciation to everyone for all the support, prayers and shared memories of Mark. This has helped us through our darkest time and even made us smile, along with filling our hearts with so much warmth. The response has been overwhelming, and if Mark could see the outpour of love on his behalf, he, too, would be in awe. We know that all of Mark‘s friends and fans are grieving and heartbroken by this loss. Know that Mark loved all of you, and you are all in our hearts and prayers. ”
In a 1999 interview, Bach stated about McConnell, “He is on fire. When we toured in ’98 with PANTERA, Vinnie Paul was like, ‘Man, how many fuckin’ pieces does your drummer have?’ And for Vinnie Paul to say that. . . And Mark has always been a powerhouse. I am the luckiest guy in the world because I have Anton Fig from David Letterman‘s band on all of the studio tracks for ‘Bring ‘Em Bach Alive’ and Mark on all of the live stuff, two of the greatest drummers in the world.”
