The Voice of the Devil - Namen sind nur Schall und Rauch

Moin Moin, die blasphemischte Schnauze im Heavy Metal ist zurück. Um Reviews zu schreiben muss jeder Journalist oder Schreiberling sich mit der Musik einer Band auseinandersetzen, dazu gehört, sich ein wenig in die Bandgeschichte einzulesen, sich das Album anzuhören, zu schauen was macht diese Musiker aus und was unterscheidet sie von anderen. Bis hier hin ist das auch eigentlich noch ganz normal, wenn man dann aber in der Bandbio ließt - Wir machen Deathcore-Doom-Grind-Dark-LARIFARI-fucking-SÜLZ-Metal,dann frage ich mich manchmal ob diese Bands anstatt in eine solche Genre Erfindung nicht lieber in Probezeit investiert hätte? Was denkt sich eine Band bei der Findung einer solchen Musikrichtung? Sitzen die zusammen im Proberaum im elterlichen Pädagogenhaushalt, wälzen dabei den neusten Rock Hard und entscheiden dann, dass man von jeder 2 Band in der Ausgabe ein Stück vom Stil für seinen Namen nimmt. Gibt es vielleicht eine Genre-Dartscheibe, wo man mit Pfeilen die Musikrichtung auswirft? Oder startet man unter dem Einfluss von gerauchten Teppichresten seine Stilfindung, wobei 2 der Bandmitglieder nicht in der Lage sind auch nur im entferntesten einen der Stile zu beherrschen? Mir ist bewusst, das man sich heute als Band von anderen abheben muss, um für Magazine oder Veranstalter interressant zu sein, aber sollte man das nicht durch die Musik machen. Ich meine für einige Medien ist das sicher interressant weil alleine durch die Stilnennung werden 2 volle Zeilen gefüllt, so braucht man nur noch eine schreiben und fertig ist das Review. Na gut dann lege ich mir jetzt mal etwas Dark-Gothic-Black-Symphonic- Speed-Rock mit deutschen Texten auf und schreibe unser 3 Zeilen. In diesem Sinne IN METAL WE ARE UNITED @ www.new-metal-media.de

The Voice of the Devil - You are a true Metalhead?

Good morning Metalheads, how do you realize that your life is actually the true Heavy Metal? (Beware the contribution may include signs of satire, sensitive readers and fans of  true metal bands, should now take a deep breath and then just read. Stay strong)

10. In the morning not you get up from your bed,  you rise from your field camp
9. Your alarm clock don´t ring, it plays Hells Bells
8. If you drink coffee then black, but rather the blood of  your enemies, their ancestors, their children, their grandchildren, and if necessary their pets7. You are so true that even your wallpaper is vinyl, of course, in a limited edition
6. You have not showered for months, because showering is not Heavy Metal
5. On the way to work you a little bit above the Citylimit, you humming Breaking the Law. Optionally Wheels of fire ...
4. Your lunch is composed of a cold can of ravioli and a six-pack of beer
3. You have T-shirts older than your mother's friend, even the moths are high when they come out of the closet
2. You don´t know who is currently President, but you can list all the bands of the past 30 years that had a article at the  Hard Rock Magazine.1. The surest sign is that you know both names of Lemmy, and also the name of his neighbors dog.

Have a nice day and stay strong Best wishes from the blasphemous snout of metal

The Voice of the Devil - The Daily Metal Blog

Good morning Metalheads, the blasphemous snout of metal or why the truth must hurt! Come get out of your feel-good corner and get into the full life of heavy metal.
All promotion things that I worked on yesterday, will be old stuff today. Time is running faster and has changed within the last 10 years. For Example, before we had Facebook we had to do the advertising for concerts in magazines, with flyers, posters and with the help of the fans, especially for small underground bands that was important. Today, these bands have even Facebook, the cure when it comes to promotion- but that´s wrong my friends of harder music. Facebook is a good thing if you want to announce something, but it can be over with this social network quickly, for example please see MySpace. So what? Then you have to start with all the work again or you soon will be forgotten. The best way ist still the promotion by fans and personal contacts, it is not enough posting your flyer at facebook or doing an event and then you are wondering why 5 People attend to your concerts and not the 50 who commited to be there. Also it´s not enough to send a flyer to an online magazine hoping that they do something. If you want to reach something, you have to send out a few facts about your band. Now I hear the bands say "A small band will have no time or it´s a lot of work for nothing". But these are excuses, if you want the people to hear you, you have to be loud, much louder than the other ones. Every band has got fans, so you need the help of your loyal fans, be proud of them and let them be a part of your band. It never hurts to get a helping hand. Work with other bands - battle cry should read "If you doing advertising for my gig, I´ll do the same for you" (probably. Not exactly on the same day). Every day our magazine has got some hints for bands, without this advice of other musicians we will never reach the underground bands. So work together and be a strong brotherhood of metal.
