Dallas/Fort Worth metal band The Famine have posted a hilarious video of them pranking each other in the studio. This includes air soft gunshots to the back of the head, beard cupcakes and a hot sauce called ‘Satan’s Blood’. I won’t lie when I say I want a bottle of that stuff. Sriracha be damned!

The Famine are releasing their next album, ‘The Architects Of Guilt’, in stores Feb. 15th. READ MORE

It’s time to do the Toxic Waltz as Los Angeles thrash titans RATTLEHEAD unleashes a new modern day, speed metal trashterpiece, Tales From The Gutter. The self-financed, independently released disc is available now on iTunes, so be sure to head over now to purchase. You can also check out the vicious new track, “Just Stay Down,” now on their MySpace page. 
Rattlehead has teamed up with Decibel Magazine to present an exclusive video documenting some touring antics and stellar performance from their hometown show at The Whisky in LA earlier this summer. Click on the link HERE to check it out now. 
Nick Baranov (vocals, guitars) states: “Hey guys, we just got back from the road a few days ago, and one thing is for sure – this was one hell of a road trip! From the belligerent hundreds of people in cities like Boise, Chicago, and Worcester, to the never-ending bar tabs, house parties, and all sorts of trouble we’ve caused in the past 35 days. We hope everyone that came out to see us had as much fun as us, because we definitely won’t forget the ‘Thrashed and Detoured 2010 Tour’ (if we can even remember some parts, that is!).
