D.R.I. released their new EP, “But Wait… There’s More!”, on June 10th, via Beer City Records. Order the EP here!
For the past 35 years (formed in May 1982), D.R.I. has been the epitome of the agressive, hardcore-punk thrash sound that we’ve all become accustomed to hearing. Throughout this time, they’ve been one of the few genuine underground bands to remain true to their pure punk roots. Still actively touring, recording and thrashing just as hard, and just as loud as ever, continuing to overload our senses with the sound that is, and will always remain, uniquely D.R.I.

Just recently METALHEADS FOREVER, one of the biggest metal entities out there, led by David Maloney, contacted ALPHA OMEGA Management and EMP Label Group, proposing a Special October issue about the Alliance between ALPHA OMEGA and EMP! Now this ambitious article is available online, featuring interviews with Alex Azzali, David Ellefson, Roberto Risso, Thom Hazaert + some of the ALPHA OMEGA/EMP roster bands: COVEN – RON MARKS – ANCIENT – D.R.I. – EXTREMA – MASTER – MOBILE DEATHCAMP – THEATRES DES VAMPIRES – COLD RAVEN – HELSTAR – DOLL SKIN – SEMBLANT – HEAVEN BELOW – ARISE IN CHAOS – SKUMLOVE and DEAD BY WEDNESDAY.
Metalheads Forever‘s CEO David Maloney stated in his closing remarks: “We can’t thanks you enough for your time and participation and prompt replies. To ALPHA OMEGA Management and EMP Label Group, it was our pleasure to work with you and we are looking forward to working together with WORLD METAL DOMINATION. We look forward to following up on this article at a future date and talk a little further into your respective business and bands and other projects respectively, thanks again MHF.”
ALPHA OMEGA Management and EMP Label Group thank Metalheads Forever and its Staff, for this great opportunity: “We couldn’t be more agree! The WORLD METAL DOMINATION has started and will move on, in a way that we believe is the only right way: Reliable, Constant, Steadfast and Steady! This is just the beginning… \m/”
David Maloney tells about Metalheads Forever: “Metalheads Forever was created on October 15th, 2010 because of a life long love and passion for Metal. It was started with the intent to satisfy some of my Metal needs as well as a few close Metal friends. Like any great thing it started with one, then two, than three and 6 years later 82,000 plus members and fans make us one of the biggest and baddest Metal entities on the face of the Earth. What started out as a hobby and purely for fun as turned into a something I was not prepared for in the beginning, as we started to grow so did my vision of what we could be and what we could become. Day by day, week by week and yes year by year I could see that this was a Globally shared passion with very few outlets to just be a Metalhead and enjoy the company of lifelong Metalheads and like minded people. So here we sit 6 years later, 43 subgroups covering nearly all sub-genres, being a force on all social Platforms from Twitter to Youtube and everything in between. This is just the beginning for us! \m/”
