Well, one thing is clear about last week’s logo: the words “of blood” were easily readable to pretty much everyone. Unfortunately, a whole lot of you guessed that the band’s name was “Cave of Blood” or “Cake of Blood” or, my personal favorite, “7 Inches of Blood,” which I guess would be the band that is approximately 133.3% bloodier than 3 Inches of Blood.

ANYWAY, the band is actually called “Lake of Blood,” and for answering correctly, the following MetalSucks Maniacs each win a free copy of Cradle of Filth’s Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder: Keith Carbaugh, Alexander Lesskis, Anna Brenner, Theresa Reuschle, and Kirsten Hogenson. Congrats, kiddies! These should make good stocking stuffers for the toddler in your life.

This week the bloodthirsty bastards at Roadrunner Records have supplied with a copy of the Roadrunner United: The Concert DVD to give away. If you don’t know what this is, it was a concert that Roadrunner threw back in ‘05 to celebrate their anniversary, and basically every awesome metal musician who has ever been on Roadrunner showed up to play some classic tunes. In other words, not owning this DVD is like turning in your “metal cred” card.

I’ve been excited about this DVD since its release was first announced in October and now that I’ve finally seen it, I can tell you it kicks some pretty major ass (stay tuned for my official review). All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl [at] metalsucks.net. We’ll randomly select one winner from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her name next week. And don’t get suicidal if you don’t win; the DVD hits stores next Tuesday, December 9.

Thanks to longtime MetalSucks Maniac Mark Moritz-Rabson for supplying this week’s logo. Once again, the answer is neither Slipknot, nor Atreyu, nor Korn. Nor any band that has ever been signed to Roadrunner.

Chimaira vocalist Mark Hunter recently revealed that “Todd ‘dead-eye’ Bell has returned to do some more filming… for a dvd to come with the new record.” And while I’m sure I don’t have to tell Chimaira fans, I still want to tell everyone else: this is great fucking news.

I’ve already made it pretty clear how stoked I am that the Roadrunner United concert from ‘05 is finally coming out on DVD, and based on the comments a lot of you left here on MetalSucks, it sounds like I’m not alone.

Now Blabbermouth has posted the first preview clip from the DVD. I assume that on the actual DVD these interviews (which are pretty cool) won’t be intercut with the performance footage (which also looks pretty decent) so that you can watch the show uninterrupted.

Anyways, the DVD drops December 9. If I have to tell you what label is releasing it, congratulations, you’re retarded.
