Rob Zombie Halloween Show

Once again I managed to stop updating the blog for a week, but this time I promise you my goal is to offer at least one new piece of content each day this week (if not more!). Seeing as it's never too late to celebrate Halloween in the world of metal, here is some live video from Rob Zombie's live show!

"Sick Bubblegum" may be repetitive, but damn if it isn't catchy!

Halloween Edition of The Metal Show TONIGHT!

Listen in tonight from 8-9 p.m. as I bring you a very special Halloween show! I will be playing lots of metal classics, as well as some non-metal favorites to get people pumped for the upcoming holiday.

Click here to tune in via the Web!

Don't forget that every Monday night from 6-10 p.m. is Metal Monday on KRUI 89.7FM. Also while you are waiting for my Halloween show, check out this classic shortened clip of Helloween's "Halloween" epic.

Misfits Return on Halloween (Sort of)

Misfits have released so many Halloween-appropriate songs there is no way that you can leave them off the party playlist.

Now the band's current lineup - consisting of bassist Jerry Only, guitarist Dez Cadena and drummer Robo - is preparing to release Land of the Dead.

The single, which contains the brand new songs "Land of the Dead" and "Twilight of the Dead", will be available on iTunes and other digital shops on October 27. Just in time for Halloween.

The cover artwork is pretty cool too, the classic Misfits skull with a zombie twist (courtesy of Marvel Zombies artist Arthur Suydam). Hopefully just focusing on two tracks means that the music will be solid as well.

Zakk Wylde's Hellfire Halloween Bash



While he hasn't made a truly great album with Black Label Society since The Blessed Hellride, it is good to hear that Zakk Wylde is recovering from having blood clots and performing with a new Epiphone axe called the "Graveyard Disciple".

Apparently Wylde's Halloween Bash is a free event put on by Hard Rock Cafe New York on Halloween. Should be a cool time for anyone in the New York area.

Looks like the coffin guitar would be difficult as fuck to play sitting down, but should be cool when performing.

I was going to put up the studio version of this song off 1919 Eternal, but the riff from this live version just kills and the lyrics are emotional, even if Wylde isn't the greatest live singer.

Alice Cooper Halloween Special



Shock rocker Alice Cooper will release an exclusive digital single Keepin' Halloween Alive this Tuesday (Sept. 29). Of course Halloween is the most metal of all holidays, so I am looking forward to the new song and the month of October.

Hopefully it will be more than just a cheesy throwaway single.

UPDATE: Listen to "Keepin' Halloween Alive" now on Cooper's MySpace.
