This was the first song i ever heard by Mercyful Fate and i bloody love it.

Mercyful Fate - Black Funeral



First heard it on this record.

Head banging on the bus home to Black Funeral. It’s awesome!!

I’ll have to check out Mercyful Fate properly.

'Melissa' is probably their best album, and (if you can find a copy) the original version of 'The Beginning' is worth checking out

[Susan Foreman]

People are already leaving Download due to the conditions caused by the heavy rain!

Dave Mustaine on FB:

"I’ve been diagnosed with throat cancer. It’s clearly something to be respected and faced head on - but I’ve faced obstacles before. I’m working closely with my doctors, and we’ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate. Treatment has already begun.

Unfortunately, this requires that we cancel most shows this year. The 2019 Megacruise will happen, and the band will be a part of it in some form. All up to date information will be at megadeth.com as we get it. Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP.

Meanwhile, Kiko, David, Dirk and I are in the studio, working on the follow up to Dystopia – which I can’t wait for everyone to hear.

I’m so thankful for my whole team – family, doctors, band members, trainers, and more.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

See you soon,
Dave Mustaine"

Thats some pretty shitty news

[Rik]

Yeah, I was pretty gutted when I found out earlier this evening

[Susan Foreman]

Halloween might be some time away, but here's a make-up idea

Alternately, get in practice for the next time Maiden are on tour

[Justin101]

It's not anything new, but I was watching the Wacken documentary this morning and I thought that this performance of Du Hast was great!



The full film can be streamed on amazon prime, it's good for sure but seems little more than a 90 minute advert for Wacken Open Air. Anvil playing Metal on Metal to a rapt crowd on the second stage, while good and all sorts of heartwarming, actually just reminded me of Spinal Tap Nice clip of Motorhead though and crowd chanting Lemmy, Lemmy Lemmy at the end of the song

Anvil are pretty bad lets be honest the lyrics are really lame and they just dont have a great guitar sound. Some of the new live videos are really hard to watch i have nothing but respect for them after everything they went through but that can only carry you so far their passion for metal is fantastic love that but they sound terrible live. Maybe a second guitarist may help flesh it out a bit but lips solos are really grating on the ear sometimes.
