Housecore In perhaps what will serve as the most evil music festival of all time, Pantera / Down vocalist Philip H. Anselmo has collaborated with famed true crime author Corey Mitchell to create the three-day Housecore Horror Film & Metal Festival. The experimental and must-see festival promises to combine live music from some of metal’s biggest acts, along with over 70 screenings of horror, true crime and heavy metal films. The Housecore Horror Film & Music Festival will take place Oct. 25-27 at Emo’s East in Austin, Texas. Among the bands who will perform at the festival are Anselmo’s band Down , aggro-doom metal veterans Crowbar and the Texas premiere of Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals, which is an extreme metal project from the prolific vocalist. The 2,000-person capacity Emo’s East will host film screenings while the rest of the Emo’s compound will be set up with smaller screening areas for extra horror shows. HHFF is also set to launch several sideshow attractions such as “gore-lesque” routines, suspension exhibitions and rare horror memorabilia displays. The blood and guts don’t even stop there, as dozens of other horror and metal-focused venders will be dispersed throughout the complex equipped with their own scare wares. As if this festival doesn’t sound awesome enough, festival attendees will have access to the ‘Haunted Corridor,’ which will be constructed by a Texas haunted house team with creative design input from Anselmo himself, who originally co-founded the ‘House of Shock’ horror experience in New Orleans. Anselmo and Mitchell are also accepting films shot by fans, either big budget or nonexistent budget, for consideration to be shown at the festival. The duo will be personally screening the entries, with a deadline of March 20 for all submissions. If you’re interested in submitting a film, click here . A limited number of three-day passes are now available on the Housecore Horror Film & Music Festival website and through Eventbrite for only $149. After March 20, the price will be bumped up to $199, so be sure to take advantage of the early discount. Happy hauntings!

February 10th, 2013 Metalkult Ipecac Recordings Ever wonder how the Melvins came up with the sound they did over the years? You can take a peek under their collective hoods April 30 as the band lays out their influences for fans with the new covers album, ‘Everybody Loves Sausages.’ Melvins leader Buzz Osbourne explains, “This record will give people a peek into the kind of things that influence us musically. We REALLY like all of these songs along with the bands who actually wrote this stuff because first and foremost, we are HUGE music fans.” The eclectic selection of covers includes cuts from rock icons like David Bowie (‘Station to Station’), Queen (‘Best Friend’) and The Kinks (‘Attitude’) alongside some lesser known songs from Venom (‘Warhead’), The Scientists (‘Set It on Fire’) and Throbbing Gristle (‘Heathen Earth’). In addition, the Melvins have invited a number of musicians to join them in their covers fun. Neurosis’ Scott Kelly, Tweak Bird’s Caleb Benjamin, Mudhoney’s Mark Arm, Blondie’s Clem Burke, Jello Biafro and Kevin Rutmanis, JG Thirlwell and Tom Hazelmeyer are among the guests on the disc. While the album is billed as a proper Melvins disc (with Osborne, Dale Crover, Jared Warren and Coady Willis taking part), there are a handful of tracks recorded in the band’s Melvins Light incarnation, which features Osborne, Crover and Trevor Dunn. Look for the Melvins’ ‘Everybody Loves Sausages’ via Ipecac Recordings on April 30. The Melvins’ ‘Everybody Loves Sausage’ Track Listing: 1. ‘Warhead’ (Venom; Guest: Scott Kelly of Neurosis) 2. ‘Best Friend’ (Queen; Guest: Caleb Benjamin of Tweak Bird) 3. ‘Black Betty’ (Original artist unknown) 4. ‘Set It on Fire’ (The Scientists; Guest: Mark Arm) 5. ‘Station to Station’ (David Bowie; Guest: JG Thirlwell) 6. ‘Attitude’ (The Kinks: Guest: Clem Burke of Blondie) 7. ‘Female Trouble’ (Divine a.k.a. John Waters) 8. ‘Carpe Diem’ (The Fugs) 9. ‘Timothy Leary Lives’ (Pop-O-Pies) 10. ‘In Every Dream Home a Heartache’ (Roxy Music; Guests: Jello Biafra and Kevin Rutmanis) 11. ‘Romance’ (Tales of Terror) 12. ‘Art School’ (The Jam; Guest: Tom Hazelmeyer) 13. ‘Heathen Earth’ (Throbbing Gristle) [button href=”http://loudwire.com/the-melvins-buzz-osborne-recalls-past-tours-with-nine-inch-nails-and-white-zombie/” title=”Next: Buzz Osborne Dishes on Nine Inch Nails + Rob Zombie Tours” align=”center”]

There were some battles that were tight, but all of the acts remaining can thank their fans for the support they’ve showed in advancing them to the quarterfinals in the fight to determine football’s best hard rock anthem. Iconic metal bands like Metallica and Pantera will send their songs ‘Seek and Destroy’ and ‘F–ing Hostile’ up against next generation rockers like Papa Roach and Korn with their anthems ‘Last Resort’ and “Freak on a Leash.’ Slipknot and Rob Zombie will do battle with ‘Wait and Bleed’ squaring off against ‘Superbeast,’ while Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold send ‘Indestructible’ and ‘Seize the Day’ into the stadium. Who will survive and advance to the semifinals? That’s up to you. The quarterfinals of the 2013 Loudwire Rock Bowl runs through 10AM ET this Wednesday (Jan. 30), and with a shorter voting period, the bands need your help more than ever.
