Metal Alliance The Metal Alliance tour is coming back in 2013 with its third-ever installment. Having delivered some powerful lineups in the past, Metal Alliance has come out with its biggest bill yet, featuring Anthrax , Exodus , Municipal Waste and Holy Grail — and they haven’t even announced the entire lineup yet! Last year , Metal Alliance pumped out a bill focused on death metal, deathcore and heavy metal, committing DevilDriver, the Faceless, Dying Fetus, Job for a Cowboy, 3 Inches of Blood and Impending Doom to the tour. In its inaugural trek, the tour caked itself in sludge with Helmet, Saint Vitus, Crowbar, Kylesa, Red Fang, Howl and the Atlas Moth. In 2013, however, it’s all about thrash (so far). The 2013 Metal Alliance tour will announce the rest of its lineup soon, but Anthrax will likely remain as the headliners. In an added bonus, Anthrax are set to perform their classic ‘Among the Living’ album in full. Boots will surely connect with faces during Anthrax’s set, especially as the thrash legends launch into ‘Among the Living’ tracks such as ‘Caught in a Mosh,’ ‘I Am the Law’ and ‘Indians.’ The Metal Alliance website promises that the tour will begin in March 2013, with dates and additional bands to be announced soon. General admission tickets will be available on Jan. 11. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2013 Metal Alliance tour.

In This Moment, ‘Blood’ (Sluggo Remix) – Exclusive Song Premiere
December 17th, 2012 Metalkult Robert John Kley, Century Media It’s been a breakout year for In This Moment , thanks in large part to the single ‘Blood,’ the Top 10 hit from their 2012 album of the same name. As the year winds down, In This Moment are giving fans an extra treat as they’re offering a double-disc version of the album ‘Blood’ with several remixes exclusively via Hot Topic outlets. Loudwire is happy to team up with the band to premiere the Sluggo remix of their ‘Blood’ single (listen below). Sluggo’s knob-twiddling skills give the song an extra boost without diverting too far away from singer Maria Brink’s original vocal tracks. Rather, the remixed version adds some extra attitude to the track by delivering some jarring, industrial dubstep beats to the song. The Hot Topic two-disc release features the original studio version of the ‘Blood’ album on the first disc, and a selection of remixes on the bonus disc. In addition to the Sluggo remix of ‘Blood,’ the bonus disc also boasts a Mr. Kane remix of ‘Adrenalize,’ Nikka Bling’s remix of ‘Whore’ and a Mitch Marlow remix of ‘The Blood Legion.’ Plus, for good measure, In This Moment provide an intriguing cover of Nine Inch Nails ‘ classic ‘Closer’ on the extra disc. In This Moment recently wrapped their 2012 touring, sharing the stage with Halestorm and Eve to Adam on a late fall trek. Meanwhile, frontwoman Maria Brink has been nominated for Rock Goddess of the Year in our very own 2012 Loudwire Music Awards. The special two-disc set of In This Moment’s ‘Blood’ album will be available at Hot Topic outlets beginning tomorrow, Dec. 18.

December 17th, 2012 Metalkult HolyTerrorSpeedMetal.com Former Holy Terror vocalist Keith Deen has passed away at the age of 56. The metal musician was recently diagnosed with cancer and, unfortunately, Deen lost his battle with the disease. Deen lent his talents to the thrash/speed metal band Holy Terror’s 1987 debut full-length, ‘Terror and Submission’ and ‘Mind Wars’ the year after. Shortly after Holy Terror released ‘Mind Wars,’ Deen left the band, leading to the act’s eventual breakup. Guitarist Kurt Cofelt (aka Kurt Kilfelt), who founded Holy Terror after leaving Agent Steel, re-formed Holy Terror in 2005, even releasing the album ‘El Revengo’ in 2006. However, Deen declined Cofelt’s invite to rejoin the group at that time. After learning of Deen’s passing, Cofelt stated, ”With the loss of Keith Deen, a part of me is gone as well.” The webmaster of a Holy Terror fan site posted a memoriam that serves as a touching tribute to Deen: At approximately 7:30 PM on December 15th, 2012 I was informed by my dear friend Chris Carlson from Chicago that Keith Deen of Holy Terror passed away. He had been battling cancer since September of 2012. Like any normal person, it blew through me like a heat wave. My plan was to go for a walk when I got home which was where I was heading when I got Chris’ message about Keith. So, I got home and went for my walk. A permanent piece of real estate on my iTouch is dedicated to Holy Terror as one would expect. So, I queued up the “El Revengo” recordings and hit the pavement. The house I bought last year is in the neighborhood I grew up in and as I walked I started to remember a younger, plump, mullet headed version of myself riding my GT Performer up and down these same streets tossing papers on porches to the same soundtrack I was listening to right now. Sometimes it is good to relive the past, at least to a small degree. On that thought though, I am not a very big fan of nostalgia anymore. But, some things I just can’t deny. Keith Deen fucking ruled. Keith Deen Roared. Keith Deen Screeched. Keith Deen Yelled. Keith Deen Sang. If you listen to Both Terror and Submission & Mind Wars , you will agree that Keith Deen covered pretty much every style of vocal delivery imaginable in just those 2 albums. I often wonder what Holy Terror as a band would have done and created if they had stayed together. The past is the past though, and I know that the guys in the band would say the same thing. So with that I would like to speak directly to Keith….. Keith, Thank You for Roaring at me. Thank You for Screeching at me. Thank You for Yelling at me. Thank You for Singing to me. Thank you for joining Holy Terror all those years ago and giving speed metal a fresh new voice. Thank you for being the co-writer of “The Immoral Wasteland”, my all time favorite song. Thank you Keith, for being who you were. We will meet again my friend, and when that time comes, I am going to buy you a drink and ask if you would be interested in singing in my band…… We’d like to offer our condolences to the family and friends of Keith Deen. To celebrate the life and musical contributions of Deen, check out ‘The Immortal Wasteland’ from the ‘Mind Wars’ album in the player below.

December 17th, 2012 Metalkult Michael Buckner, Getty Images Motley Crue ‘s Vince Neil was among many rock acts speaking out via their social networks late last week after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut , but the rocker got a little hot under the collar after a number of his followers debated his call for gun control. His initial tweet was a simply put, “Sad day today. Prayers to all the families. Gun control!!!” While Neil definitely meant to put the focus on the tragic events of the day, there were enough of his followers that latched onto the final comment about gun control that he felt the need to respond. In a series of tweets that followed, Neil admonished those who chose to address that part of his comment. His Tweets on the matter can be read below: Sad day today. Prayers to all the families. Gun Control!!! — Vince Neil (@TheVinceNeil) December 14, 2012 Why is everyone so concerned with guns? What about the CHILDREN that were MURDERED today! Get your priorities straight!! Come on people!! — Vince Neil (@TheVinceNeil) December 14, 2012 I did say gun control but I didn’t think 90% of you would care more about your gun than dead children!!! — Vince Neil (@TheVinceNeil) December 14, 2012 FUCK YOU to EVERYONE who puts guns in front of kids!! Do not come to ANY shows! You are sick!! — Vince Neil (@TheVinceNeil) December 15, 2012 Neil knows firsthand about the loss of a child at a young age as his daughter Skylar Neil died of cancer at the age of 4 back in 1995. The Friday elementary school shooting resulted in the loss of life of 20 young children and six staff members, as well as the shooter’s mother at a nearby home. The 20-year-old shooter killed himself at the school.
