For all of you who want nothing to do with my music, have tried and don’t get it, or think I’m a total hack, continue on to the next blurb, as I’m going to spend the next few paragraphs stroking myself and thinking that I’m super.
Anyways, heres a bunch of videos… it’s hard to give a solid overview after twenty-something albums, but anyways…
I am working on my first, full blown musical… and yes (much to some folks’ chagrin), it’s a new Ziltoid record. It going to be called Z2, and I’m taking it to the moon.
The Monkeys are cranky today so let’s make this quick. The winner of last week’s funny photo caption contest and proud new owner of 10 random CDs from Prosthetic Records:
Devin Townsend Sr.: “ALL OUR DICKS COMBINED ARE THIS BIG.”
I actually LOLed at that one. This week we’re giving away a three-pack of CDs from Metal Blade Records: Amon Amarth’s The Avenger (reissue, 2CD Digipak), Ravage’s The End of Tomorrow, and Gwar’s latest, Lust in Space. Just come up with a funny caption to the below photo [sent in by MS reader Pelin] and they’ll be yours.
When Sigh mainman Mirai Kawashima offered to do a series of blogs from the studio where the band is recording their new album, Scenes from Hell, it was an opportunity too cool for us to pass up. Below find Mirai’s latest report; here are links to his previous entries:

Enjoy!
Hello everybody. This is not a studio report actually.
Finally, here we reveal the cover artwork for our eighth studio album, Scenes from Hell. It was designed by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Mekong Delta, Gwar, etc). We’re truly proud of the artwork. This is the perfect descrition of what the album is about – namely War, Hell and Death!
The End Records has set January 19, 2010 release date for this album.
It seems that Gwar’s Oderus Urungus is super-stoked on his MetalSucks column “Ask Oderus”; not only has the dude been keeping up with his duties as Professor of Intergalactic Metal Advice, but he responded to our last call for questions by leaving comment answers to all of your questions; every single one of them!! For the sake of getting his answers out to the masses, we’ve compiled some of the best Q&As from last week’s online therapy session here.
Chase asks: What happened to the blood bombs yall would throw at the show? those were ridiculous. Why haven’t yall killed amahidnnedjad?
If they do their job, they hopefully explode into your eyes, blinding you and giving you numerous incurable diseases.
As far as that crafty, kooky, A-Jad is concerned, I am in no hurry to kill him. I think he is quite amusing. I wish him all the best in his construction of a nuclear warhead and delivery system for said weapon. Hopefully Many people admire him for his defiant attitude, and I am enjoying his stand-up comedy, particularly the jokes he made about the Holocaust. Hilarious! Way funnier than Schindler’s List. Everyone said what a great movie that was but when I saw it I only laughed like two, three times!
Gwar’s Oderus Urungus is back for another round of Ask Oderus. Now’s your chance to ask everyone’s favorite Scumdogian the questions that have been burning holes in your mind; “Why haven’t you slaughtered ICP and all the Juggalos yet?” “Do you like fish sticks?” “Is it fair the singer from Anthrax got fired for shitting on the bass player’s back? Don’t you regularly give Cleveland steamers to Jizmak?” These are all questions that Oderus has answered before for you, the MetalSucks faithful.
So what’ll it be? Ask Oderus by leaving a comment, and check back next week for his majesty’s answers.
In the meantime, check out Gwar’s intergalacticly awesome new video for “Let Us Slay” and Oderus’ appearance on Opie & Anthony.
There’s really nothing I can say about “Let Us Slay,” the new video from Gwar and director David Brodsky, that would be funnier than what Oderus Urungus himself has to say about it. So I’ll just let him speak, via a press release:
“LET US SLAY” is the first video from our new epic album, ‘LUST IN SPACE’, and provides actual first-hand footage of GWAR’s recent travels through outer space and our cosmic struggle against that intergalactic asshole Cardinal Syn…this should put an end to any speculation that we are not really from outer space…you can really see us flying around on spaceships and shit!”
After a huge hit of crack laced with horse tranquilizer and kitty litter, the warty front-thing continued, “This is just the latest GWAR video from esteemed director David Brodsky, whom we have worked w/ before on the amazing ‘SCHOOL’S OUT’ video. He is a very talented and effusively garrulous sort of guy, and he works for rocks! Plus I am particularly excited about the many dance moves that I executed in the course of the video…I recently studied under Christopher Walken, and after working very hard he gave me the nickname “Twinkletoes!”
That part about Brodsky working for rocks is true, by the way. What Oderus neglects to mention is that he uses the rocks to beat people and take their money, so it’s not like he’s going broke or whatever.
Here’s the video. It’s pretty awesome. Enjoy it.

Partway through Gojira’s set last night, my knees got wobbly. At first I thought it was just a natural reaction the awesomeness of the French metaller’s ball-rattling live show, but then I realized: “Nope, nope. I’m just really fucked up.” So fucked up that I turned down weed – and I never turn down weed. I went back to the Mansion at a fairly reasonable hour (whereas Vince and Kip were still out partyin’), but since I woke up this morning, I’ve still been feeling the effects of last night’s debauchery. My head fuckin’ hurts, dude.
So with all due respect to you, my loyal readers, who I love and who ensure that we continue to have the best job in the world: I did not want to start my day by calling you “nitwits.” But you’ve left me no choice.
We got a whole bunch of e-mails this morning from people who were concerned because Mark Morton didn’t play with Lamb of God at last night’s LoG/GWAR/JFAC show. There seems to be some serious concern from these fans that the lead guitarist has quit the band.
And that would suck… if it were true. But Morton’s absence from this tour was announced over a month ago. He’s at home with his woman and their new baby, being a dutiful daddy. God Forbid’s Doc Coyle is filling in for him. In fact, here’s a video of Doc playing with the band that Blabbermouth posted yesterday:
So, everyone should remain calm. Mark Morton is still very much a member of Lamb of God. I’m sure he’ll back for the band’s next tour.
More disconcerting: a number of you who wrote in didn’t know who Doc Coyle is. Seriously people: God Forbid. Listen to them. They’re awesome and it’s good for you.

You ask questions, Oderus answers. It’s a pretty simple formula, really. This week Mr. Urungus tackles MS reader questions ranging from crabcore to Anthrax to Hitler, raping whales, Lordi (and their inherent suckitude) and a whole host of other topics. Yeah, Oderus talks a LOT of shit in this one! Your questions answered, after the jump.
If you’ve got any questions for Oderus, drop them in the comments section for Oderus to answer next time around.
Oh, snap. We’re used to Slayer’s Kerry King picking fights in the press. But now Gwar’s Oderus Urungus, perhaps eager to throw down with the legendary guitar player, has brought the mountain to Mohammad by talking some shit of his own.
In an exclusive video interview with Dave “I’m Not Really Just Oderus Without the Mask” Brockie for NoiseCreep, Oderus has this to say about Mr. King:
“He’s fat and ugly and stupid. Y’know, I’ve supported Slayer my whole life, they’re probably the greatest metal band ever. In fact, I personally gave Kerry King, fat little bald Napoleon with swagger that he is, The [Metal Hammer] Golden Gods Award for Most Awesome Metal Artist, and I didn’t even anally violate him, and he still couldn’t find it in himself to acknowledge.”
Ouch. Harsh words. If you know me but at all, you know I can’t wait to hear King’s retort. I’m sure it will have something to do with costumes. Which would be kinda ironic.
Here’s the video of Oderus smacking King with the proverbial glove:
Speaking of Oderus: you can still ask him a question right here. Hopefully he’ll answer a few more in the coming weeks.

I’ve gotten a few e-mails today from people asking me where Vince is. Well, the truth is, Vince can’t write because he’s ill. And he’s quitting the site. No, really, he quit. We didn’t fire him. Swear it. We stand by that statement.
Here’s some other shit that happened in the world of metal this week:
Alright. Time to go buy a vaporizer of my very own. See ya Monday.

Last week we made Gwar’s intergalactic frontman Oderus Urungus available to answer your questions, for which you wasted no time in posting them in the comments. Mr. Urungus picked his favorites and sent them back to us yesterday, and the results are predictably raunchy and entertaining!
Since this went so well, we’re going to turn it into a bi-monthly regular column Ask Oderus. Got any questions? Post them in the comments below, and Oderus himself will choose his favorites and post his answers here in two weeks.
Q: How does it feel to have Greg Gutfeld lodged so far up your ass?
A: Quite nice really, he isn’t that large!
More questions answered after the jump…

Alright, people. I feel like fucking death. I just wanna go lie down and hopefully never wake up. Let’s get this over with:
We’ll be at Summer Slaughter on Sunday. If any of you spot us and want to buy us a drink, please, for the love of all things holy, don’t.

Legendary interplanetary metal band Gwar are back August 18th with their new record Lust in Space, the first track of which “Let Us Slay” is currently streaming on their MySpace page.
While you eagerly await the new record and next blood and semen-spewing Gwar concert to come through your town (which, according to Moby, is the best show ever), we’ve gotten frontman / Fox News correspondent Oderus Urungus to agree to answer fan questions from you MS Maniacs. So post your questions in the comments section below, and Oderus himself will cherry-pick a bunch of his favorites to answer back here on MetalSucks in a couple of weeks. If you’d like to ask Oderus about where all that semen comes from, to share a favorite space lust story, or anything else you can think of… now’s the time!
We’ll be closing entries next Thursday at 5pm EDT. Have fun.
Annoying as he is, I’d love to talk metal with Moby someday. For one thing, he was ever-so-briefly the producer of Chinese Democracy, and I have a feeling he has some great Axl Rose stories.
For another thing, he was the guest editor for magnetmagazine.com last week, and he had some interesting things to say about Gwar:
Have you ever seen Gwar live? No? Rectify this immediately. The best live band ever. Really.
Also: Andrew W.K.
Stay tuned for a special announcement involving Gwar later this week.
[Thanks: Villan and Devin K.]
Our pals over at Metal Injection have boatloads of new videos from this summer’s Sounds of the Underground tour. They’ve already got interviews posted with members of Every Time I Die, Chimaira and the legendary Testament, and new interviews with Amon Amarth, Darkest Hour and Job for a Cowboy coming later this week. Also be sure to tune in for the hilarious Moscow Metal Minute search for the kings of blood and jizz, Gwar.
Visit MetalInjection.net for all the madness.
