Apologies in advance to any of the Thrash Hits faithful who decline to feast upon the beautifully chargrilled remains of our hopefully four-legged friends but…
We thought we were being mildly celebratory and vaguely humourous when we wished you a Happy Heavy Metal Pancake Day but over in LA, a couple of meat-savvy metalheads have created [...]

And the next seven bands for Sonisphere Knebworth are…
March 1st, 2010 · View Comments
…Gallows, Skunk Anansie, Fightstar, Funeral For A Friend, Madina Lake, Family Force 5 and Apocalyptica. Anyone that’s read Thrash Hits for longer than five minutes will know that while Sonisphere’s announcement of some of those bands will have plastered a great big smile across our faces, there’s no way we can pretend that a couple of those bands [...]

If you’re in London tonight and not at Machine Head…
February 18th, 2010 · View Comments
…then you could do a whole shit less well than coming down to Brixton anyway, as the cosmic riff rumble of Invasion will be playing a free show just up the road at The Rest Is Noise. Actually, even if you’re one of the poor multitude that isn’t lucky enough to live in grimy, dirty, beautiful [...]
The Ghost of a Thousand to headline Hellfire Club’s Sunday night
February 17th, 2010 · View Comments
Exactly what is says up there in the title – Thrash Hits’ favourites, The Ghost Of A Thousand, have been announced as the headline act for the third and final night of the first Hellfire Club event in May. Fucking A.
Cancer Bats’ new video for ‘Sabotage’ gives us a raging hard-on
February 17th, 2010 · View Comments
Let’s just get straight down to business: the almighty Canuck quartet, Cancer Bats, have released a video to their actually-pretty-fucking-awesome cover of the Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’. And in the the few minutes before some wise-ass makes a copy of it and uploads it onto YouTube, all you need to do to see it is spread [...]
Twisted Sister are the final headliner for Bloodstock Open Air 2010
February 16th, 2010 · View Comments
Twisted Sister are ridiculous. You know this. We know this. Dee Snider knows this, and it’s his bloody band. They are, however, ridiculous for all the right reasons, which is why we’re pleased as punch that they’ve been announced as the final Main Stage headliner for Bloodstock Open Air 2010.

And the next five for Download Festival 2010 are…
February 16th, 2010 · View Comments
…Lamb of God, 30 Seconds To Mars, Billy Idol, Stone Sour, and Five Finger Death Punch.

February 15th, 2010 · View Comments
…Aerosmith and Rage Against The Machine.
Was anyone else expecting that? We’d be lying if we said it came as a surprise to us. We’re sure that all sorts of people are voicing meaningless opinions over on Twitter right now as we speak. Or the Download Festival forums, if they haven’t crashed under the sheer weight [...]

Happy Chinese New Year – the year of the METAL TIGER
February 15th, 2010 · View Comments
Yes, yes, we know that Chinese New Year was yesterday but Sunday was already being spent doing Valentine’s Day stuff like creating a great V-Day Spotify Slaylist and going to see The Ghost Of A Thousand in a Camden grothole.
Ultimately, this Chinese year is the year of the Yang Metal Tiger. Is this the opposite [...]

Ask Dillinger Escape Plan anything you bloody well like
February 10th, 2010 · View Comments
