NEWS
I’m very sad to report the passing of Gwar frontman/founder and Holliston co-star Dave Brockie (AKA Oderus Urungus). Details are scarce, but he was found dead in his home earlier this week at the age of 50. Anyone who’s ever had the pleasure of seeing a Gwar show knows what a huge loss this is for the metal community. Rest in peace.

In a recent interview, Rob Halford confirmed that the new Judas Priest album is done and is “fucking heavy.” Look for it later this year.

Opeth are eying a June release on Roadrunner Records for their upcoming eleventh album, which they recently completed recording. Official details should be announced soon.
