FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH: WAY TOO POPULAR
Luckily for Five Finger Death Punch, being total assholes who completely lack any musical talent isn’t hurting their record sales: their new album, War is the Answer, is apparently going to sell to somewhere between 35,000 – 40,000 copies in its first week of release… and that’s just here in the U.S. That probably sounds like a lot of units moved, and you’re right. It is a lot of fucking units moved. To put it in perspective with the sales of some awesome albums that came out this week…
AXL ROSENBERG SHOULD JUST GO JOIN WAKING THE CADAVER
If you read this site regularly, then you’re probably aware that we are constantly confused by the difference between wigger slam and deathcore. Even after our own Satan Rosenbloom explained it to me and I spent time listening to bands that Metal Inquistion‘s Sergeant D and Decibel agree are slam bands, I still can’t really tell the difference. At the risk of sounding like my old man, I really just can’t hear much difference between Devourment and Oceano. Sorry.
Luckily, the aforementioned Sergeant D – pretty much metal’s leading authority on wigger slam – has discovered a joke slam band band, Slamburglars, and in a Metal Inquisition interview, we get both name dropped and educated in the differences between the two genres:
MUNICIPAL WASTE’S GORY GAMESHOW
I got to visit the set for Municipal Waste’s new video, “Wrong Answer,” and when I first arrived, I didn’t even recognize guitarist Ryan Waste. In fact, my first thought was “What the hell is the dude from Waking the Cadaver doing here?”
Ryan was just in costume, of course. Directed by David Brodsky, the video, as Waste and drummer Dave Witte explained to me, literalizes the song’s lyrics and portrays a game show where answering a question incorrectly has deadly consequences. That might sound like the description for a Miike movie, but this being The Waste, it’s actually quite funny.
“Wrong Answer” comes off the band’s new album, Massive Aggressive, which Earache released this week. I’ll have my interview with Waste and Witte up soon; in the meantime, enjoy the clip…

WAKING THE CADAVER’S LEAD SINGER IS GONNA BE RICH!!!
Over the past few days, people have suddenly been leaving comments on our entries on wigger slam and the whole Waking the Cadaver versus Metal Inquisition debacle (In case you don’t recall, the short version is: Metal Inquistion‘s Sergeant D. called Waking the Cadaver “wigger slam,” and Waking the Cadaver vocalist Donald Campan consequently go so angry he let his retard flag fly and physically threatened Sergeant D., as is the custom amongst gentlemen.). Given that these are old stories (in one case well over a year old), I was more than a little curious to see what the comments were and who was leaving them.
Now I’m 99.9% sure that it was either Campan or a friend of his. To wit, this comment left by a reader calling himself “Eat Me”:
MORE FUN WITH WAKING THE CADAVER
After I wrote about Waking the Cadaver’s war with Metal Inquisition yesterday, a friend of ours who books shows sometimes e-mailed me to tell me that he once upon a time attempted to book Waking the Cadaver for a local NJ show – and the band asked for a sum of money so outrageous you’d think he was trying to book Slayer or something. Which is amazing, because before yesterday, I’d never fucking heard of Waking the Cadaver.
But I’ve heard of them now, and guess what? They’re my new favorite band! Thanks to Pick-Axe Bobby for passing this video along.

WAKING THE CADAVER DECLARES: METAL INQUISTION’S SERGEANT D IS AN “INTERNET FAGIT”
Vince and I still don’t really understand the difference between “wigger slam” and “deathcore,” but Metal Inquistion‘s Sergeant D does: he has (by his own admission) pretty much positioned himself as the world’s (or at least the net’s) foremost authority on the wigger slam genre, and, as such a scholar, was even interviewed for an article in Decibel on the subgenre (Which in no way, shape, or form clarified the difference between wigger slam and deathcore. Seriously. Someone explain it to me, ’cause I ain’t hearin’ it.).
One of the bands Sergeant D talks about in said Decibel piece is Waking the Cadaver (again, sounds like deathcore to me!), who apparently didn’t take very kindly to being called “wiggers,” even though one look at them would suggest that, yes, they are indeed white dudes who dress in a manner stereotypically reserved for black dudes:
