Lazarus A.D. news @lazarusad

Metal drummers I have some bad news,

Ryan Shutler, drummer for Lazarus A.D.is said to have passed away at the young age of 29.  There is not a whole lot of information at this time on the cause of death, but rumor has it, that he may have died as a result of a heart attack. This has also been posted on Metalsucks.net so there could be some weight to this story.

Whether you are a Lazarus fan or not, maye you haven’t even heard of them. News like this is not pleasant.  Metal heads, drummers  let’s take a moment to listen to a killer Lazarus track throw up our horns and keep Ryan  Shutler’s family and Lazarus A.D. in our thoughts.

Sepultura, and Arsis at the Jewel night club in Manchester, NH?!?

So I just stumbled upon this gem of information. At the Jewel nightclub
( 61 Canal Street ) in Manchester May 31st will be Arsis and Sepultura. Arsis, who actually started out as a two man band and blew everyone who discovered them then ( myself included) away, will be playing with Sepultura. Now for fans of all ages reading this anyone can argue when Sepultura was the best line up  and when, for what album so on and so forth. Many of you may not have ever even seen them live. Here’s you chance to see them live. Now me personally I am a Max Cavalera fan, doesnt mean that Derrick Green is not good. he handles vox  right for them. I am also an Igor Cavalera fan however Elow Casagrande is a pretty good drummer. Maybe I am showing my age a bit, but I would still see Sepultura if given the chance. Arsis if you are unfamiliar had played this song on their debut album ” a celebration of guilt” https://youtu.be/Adb91VCZMQc  which they also re-recorded for a later album.  They also do not shy away from doing the occasional cover as you can see here they did Corey Harts hit Sunglasses at night; https://youtu.be/NeRZ7fqUp9g

So if you are a fan of either band, you are local to Manchester, NH or  really local to NH then May 31st, 2015 make it to the Jewel nightclub for your chance to see these bands in action.

Cryptopsy’s back to the us tour!

Cryptopsy are on to the 3rd show of their tour, right now they are in Brooklyn, NY. man i wish i could have been there but i am planning on making it out to another show of theirs during this tour. Keep in mind they are an independant band, they do not have a record label and they are taking it all on themselves. What does that mean, it means you have guys using their own money to accomplish these feats. They are also crowdfunding E.P.’s to try and put out new music more often. Their current crowdfunding campaign is for  a new E.P. titled ” The Book of Suffering”.     Make sure to be a part of this great campaign, If you are not sure about whether or not to bother. DO IT!!! have you heard Flo on drums? seriously the guy is amazing. Check the guy out https://youtu.be/zCen_sEFJzs    This is what I’m talking about not good enough check out a video from a live performance a song from their last album ” Cryptopsy”  this is Two Pound torch https://youtu.be/Lnb2M-sMXas       

So get in on this Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and lets help Cryptopsy get some new music out to us.

Check out their crowdfunding page here; https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-fund-cryptopsy-s-the-book-of-suffering#pledges

Christmas came early for Badger!

For some of you, Alterius is not a name you are familiar with. Well let me explain to you why you should be.

  1. They are a killer band based out of Massachusetts (local for me)
  2. They have an incredible sound not like many of the other bands out there.
  3. The guitarists do some serious shredding and have a lot of talent.
  4. They have a fucking sick drummer who is on point during live shows, and is willing to help out other fellow drummers.(he ran and grabbed his snare drum for Lord Dying at the Palladium in Worcester)
  5. Vocals are as heavy as a new england metal breakdown pit!
  6. They did their own recording, mixing, and mastering for their E.P. and it sounds like a proffesionally done badass piece of work!
  7. An E.P. that kicks ass, and its a great price on their bandcamp page. https://alterius.bandcamp.com/album/voyager 

So why am I posting this right now, I’ll tell you why.  I just got this killer shirt to wear to their next show May 24th, at Milly’s Tavern in Manchester, NH.

Metal drummer Alex Rudinger posts a new video

SO as some of you may know I am a drummer which makes me gravitate to other drummers, and throughout metal are a lot of great drummers. Alex Rudinger is a badass drummer, he filled in for Revocation while their drummer was healing from an injury. He has played for Monuments, as well as the Faceless. He has posted videos of his playthroughs for songs like ” Atlas” by Monuments, as well as play throughs for even an “Eminem” song say what you say ( check it out here https://youtu.be/ti7AJS1kQYI ) today he posted a video for  Dismantle the dictator by Revocation. You really have to give this guy credit, he is a great drummer, check out his video for his dismantle the dictator playthrough here; https://youtu.be/ofcKNk1sIR4
