[EMF] Effing Metal Friday: A Tribute to Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman 1964-2013

May 2, 2013 by Fister Roboto

The metal community lost one of its most respected and talented founding fathers on Thursday. 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.

Official ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Trailer is Officially Boring

April 24, 2013 by Fister Roboto

I’ve run a little slow this week, so I’m just get around to checking out some of the latest trailers. Some have been great, but this new Thor trailer is completely underwhelming. Completely. Thor battles an ancient race of Dark Elves led by the vengeful Malekith who threatens to plunge the universe back into darkness after the events of The Avengers. Even the synopsis is boring. I suppose we’ll find out in November.

Bates Motel S1E6 ‘The Truth’ Review

Bates Motel is in full mid-season swing, kids. How many seasons can they keep this up until it’s time for an adult version of Norman Bates to cheerfully greet hotel guests is anyone’s guess. Last night’s episode ‘The Truth’ was a telling title. As I mentioned before, I’m not writing these Bates Motel recaps, giving you a play by-play, but rather reviewing the performances and story arcs in a generic fashion – hoping you’ll feel inclined to watch.
