The Latest on ‘American Horror Story: Coven’

I missed some cool horror news while I was sitting on my ass all last week. American Horror Story fans are an excitable bunch. We’re nowhere near the October debut, and the online pining is in full-effect. Ryan Murphy announced via Twitter that two very talented actresses have joined the season three cast. Angela Bassett and Patti LuPone are the newest additions since the announcement of Gabourey Sidibe and Kathy Bates. Also returning are series favorites: Jessica Lange, Taissa Farmiga, […]

[EMF] Effing Metal Friday! 5.17.13: Doom: Part II – Long Edition

May 16, 2013 by Fister Roboto

As promised, my week-long sabbatical is over and I’m back for some general internet dumbassery. Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been doin’ it for… one year and nine months. Glad to be back. Blow your laptop speakers and study the occult leanings of your choice. I’m currently in love with Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. You can read my review of their new album, Mind Control, right here.

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats ‘Mind Control’ Album Review

May 15, 2013 by Fister Roboto

Lifted from the Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats Facebook page: Arriving at an abandoned barn beneath a dead summer sky, Uncle Acid sets up his crackling vintage tweed amp. Nestled between bales of hay he sings tales of murder, lust and horror. He is soon joined by two female deadbeats he met hitchhiking. Playing on battered old pawn shop instruments, the trio record their tales onto a broken 8 track tape machine. A strange dynamic appears within the band, as […]

Fister Roboto is Taking the Week Off!

May 11, 2013 by Fister Roboto

Good morning, kids. For the first time since I started this thing, I’m taking the week off. I need less interests or longer days at this point. This is truly a golden age of geekdom. I’ve been a little overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I want to write about lately. While reviewing so much stuff is relaxing in itself, I think I need a break to get caught up on all the stuff I don’t feature on this site. […]

Opeth Concert Review 5.8.13 Buster’s Lexington, KY

May 9, 2013 by Fister Roboto

This was a real bucket list moment for me. Plagued with terrible timing, I’ve missed Opeth the last few times they were within 200 miles of Lexington. I made up for it in spades last night when I not only got to see Opeth perform from ten feet away, but I also had the good fortune of meeting the band before the show. Instructed to be at the venue at 6:15 for the meet and greet, I talked metal and […]

[metal] Fister’s Devil Music of the Week: Opeth ‘Still Beneath the Sun’

May 6, 2013 by Fister Roboto

Two more days until I meet Opeth! I have to admit it, for as pumped as I am, I’m a little nervous. What does one say to Mikael Akerfeldt when you have such respect for him? I’ll probably choke on a dry DERP and rattle on about PRS Guitars or cock rock jokes. :/

[Horror TV] Dexter Season 8 Behind the Scenes Video: From Cop to Killer

May 6, 2013 by Fister Roboto

The final season of Dexter begins on 6/30 and I, for one, wish it an expedient end. This once amazing series has been going downhill since season 5. While there have been plenty of decent episodes dotted across those last three seasons, I think the fans are aware of the need to put this show down. Carpenter and Hall are stuck this new season, stuck in the limbo after Deb killed last season. I can only hope she doesn’t spend […]

Jeff Hanneman of Slayer died of liver failure at Hemet Valley Medical Center, near his home in Southern California. Jeff was bitten by a spider a little over two years ago and contracted a rare skin tissue disease called necrotizing fasciitis.

Fister’s Devil Music of the Day: Rob Zombie ‘Teenage Nosferatu Pussy’

Catchy title, huh? I’m loving the new RZ album, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor. The funky keyboards really give it a jammed out vibe that merges well with John 5′s fantastic tone. Zombie’s lyrics are evil, over-the-top, pentagram laced bursts of acid dripping sexuality. I just assume every new stripper in America has a favorite off this record. Oh, hey, Mrs. Zombie.
