Virginia's modern metal titans, Lamb Of God, performed a new song this past Monday (12/01/2008 ) during the Metallica tour stop in Seattle, Washington. Video footage of the band performing the song, which is called "Overhaul", is available below. (Footage courtesy of Youtube user Metfan91bootlegs)
Lamb Of God, will release their fifth studio album 'Wrath', on February 24th, 2009. The record will be released in North America by Epic and will be the first release with their new label, Roadrunner Records, outside of North America. 'Wrath' is produced by Josh Wilbur and was recorded in studios in New York, Virginia, and New Hampshire.
Lamb Of God finished the touring cycle on the Grammy nominated album 'Sacrament' at the end of 2007. The two-year trek was documented in the now certified Gold DVD 'Walk with Me in Hell' and culminated with the band headlining arenas across the US last December.
The band has taken the entirety of 2008 off the road to focus on the writing process for 'Wrath'.
“This album is going to surprise a lot of people,” comments drummer Chris Adler. “Typically bands that get to where we are in our career begin to slack off, smell the roses and regurgitate. We chose a different path. No one wants to hear another band member hyping a new record. 'Wrath' needs no hype. We have topped ourselves and on February 24th you will feel it.”
As always, Lamb Of God will embark on an extensive tour that will cover the globe. As previously announced, the band will be supporting Metallica on the December leg of their tour. The first leg of the 'Wrath' world tour will start in Finland on February 6th and will encompass dates in the UK, Australia, and Japan.

2/06 - Frostbite Festival - Finland
2/08 - Belfast - Mandela Hall
2/09 - Dublin - Academy

Thu Dec 04, 2008 6:47 am Warner Bros. Records' recording artists, Metallica, were nominated for four Grammy Awards today, including Best Rock Album, Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Instrumental Performance and Best Recording Package for the best-selling hard-rock band's current album 'Death Magnetic'.
The band's ninth studio album, 'Death Magnetic' debuted atop the Billboard Top 200 Album chart at No. 1, Metallica's fifth consecutive album to do so, making them the only band in chart history to have five albums debut at No. 1. It breaks the band's tie with the Beatles, U2, and the Dave Matthews Band, all of whom have four No. 1 album debuts. In addition to debuting at No. 1 atop Billboard's Rock, Alternative, Hard, and Internet album charts in the U.S., the album racked up No. 1 chart positions in 32 foreign countries, including the U.K., Canada, and Australia, and Top 3 chart slots in seven more, including Japan. The Recording Industry Association of America certified the album platinum just six weeks after its release on September 12th, 2008.
Metallica have already won seven Grammy Awards, including five for "Best Metal Performance" since drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield formed the band in Los Angeles in 1981. They have gone on to become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 100 million albums worldwide and playing to millions of fans the world over.
Metallica are currently on their first proper tour of the United States and Canada in four years in support of 'Death Magnetic'.
The Grammy Awards will be handed out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 8th, 2009. Tune in to the 51st Annual Grammy Awards Telecast, which airs that night on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

It has been an extremely productive and successful 2008 for Canadian extreme progressive metal icons Into Eternity, who wrapped up their North American tour with Iced Earth a few weeks ago. This was preceded by the band’s first Japanese tour supporting At The Gates and Dillinger Escape Plan, their first full Canadian tour (Summer Slaughter Canada) and a spring trek as direct support to progressive legends Symphony X. The release of the band's first concept album, the critically acclaimed 'The Incurable Tragedy', debuted at #17 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, which also marked their highest first week sales.
Earlier this year, the band shot a video for the track “Time Immemorial.” The clip will finally premiere next Wed., Dec. 10, exclusively on MySpace Metal. To whet fans' appetites, the band has posted some behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot. Check it out below.

I began to think about how the film industry could work together to make more money, and I figure that if they just took the films in release every weekend and mashed them together then they would always have 100% of the Box Office. Take this weekend for example, instead of 5 films in release, why not just one about a vigilante whom gets invovled in the 1950's rock and roll/jazz movement, who eventually wins a Nobel prize for chemistry but is then involved in watergate only to travel back into time to try to correct it all. Now doesn't that sound like a film for the whole family???
NO???
OK! That might be a little too much plot for one film, so maybe the studios got it right with splitting up the titles PUNISHER: WAR ZONE, CADILLAC RECORDS, FROST/NIXON, NOBEL SON and TIMECRIMES, they have been doing this a lot longer than I have... well actuallY I don't do what they do at all, but you get my point...err.. or not! N-E-who, as always make sure to check out the links below for release and cast and crew info as well as the official trailers for each of the films in release this weekend right here at LOUDSIDE.COM ENTERTAINMENT!

Wed Dec 03, 2008 11:04 am YAHOO! MOVIES has the HD trailer up for STEVEN SODERBERGH's biopic on Che Guevara which stars BENICIO DEL TORO as CHE which is due in theatres January 24th, 2009!
In other "Chi" news, the bassist from the DEFTONES Chi Cheng was involved in a very serious car accident weeks back and currently remains in a coma after the incident. As with these things it is always positive thoughts that help aid the recovery of all that are involved (family, friends, fans), so if you are like me and a DEFTONES fan swing by their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/deftones) to let those involved know they are in your thoughts.
I apologize for getting off topic, but also I don't!
