Now, this week’s top stories:

• We premiered new music from Ulcerate and SpiralArms.
• Machine Head’s Robb Flynn called Avenged Sevenfold’s Hail to the King “a covers album.” A7X vocalist M. Shadows took it in stride, and we lept to the band’s defense.
• We signed the petition to have Gwar perform at the 2015 Super Bowl.
• Necrophogist drummer Romain Goulon says that “there will be a new album”… at some point.
• We listened to the best Rage Against the Machine cover that you will ever hear.
• We learned that Nergal has shed blood for the cover art for the new Behemoth album — literally.
• We watched old videos of sixteen-year-old Mike Patton and sixteen-year-old Trevor Dunn covering metal classics by Maiden, Priest, and more.
• We also watched the first episode of Papaganda, the new “documentary” series about Ghost.
• Speaking of Ghost: Sevendust is the latest band to lose a game of foosball to the mysterious ghouls, and must now open for Asking Alexandria as penance.
• Sergeant D. taught us the formula for good music.

We hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend. See ya Monday, friends!!!
