Cradle Of Filth Cancel N. American Tour

British metal band Cradle Of Filth has announced that they have been forced to cancel their N. American tour due to US immigration issues. The band was going to tour in support of their latest album The Manticore And Other Horrors, which was released last October.

Per their announcement: Cradle Of Filth are really sorry to tell all of their fans that their US tour ’28 Days Closer to Hell’ is going to have to be cancelled, due to US immigration issues beyond the band’s control.

They have been desperately trying to solve these problems, but it has become evident they are not going to be resolved in time for the band to embark on a tour that starts next week.

The band sincerely apologise to all their fans and to the other acts on the tour and want to assure people they have made every effort possible to go ahead with the tour. READ MORE

mtvmade From Being Bullied To Fronting A Metal Band, This 16 Year Old Girl Rocks
So being that I haven’t had cable or basic TV channels for about 17, almost 18 years, I had never heard of MTV’s Made, a show which takes people who have a dream, supplies them with a ” made coach”, and helps them achieve their dream. 
In an episode that aired on Monday night, 16-year old Julia aspires to become a metal singer in an effort to attain a sense of self-confidence that has been destroyed by constant bullying, both in school and on the Internet. Her coach was The Agonist‘s vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, and cameos from Iwrestledabearonce and Winds Of Plague can also be seen. You can watch the entire episode below as well as read a response from myself.

The Agonist’s Alissa White-Gluz Voted Sexiest Vegetarian By PETA2

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t appreciate a sexy, beautiful woman fronting a metal band? Something about a gorgeous woman screaming at me is…well…kind of a turn on. Don’t judge me, okay? In any case, it turns out PETA2 also thinks the same thing as they chose Alissa White-Gluz, vocalist of The Agonist, over Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and Olivia Wilde as  their “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian of 2011″. Personally, I think all four women are insanely hot and I would be thrilled if the most I could do is massage their eyebrows. What do you think? Should Alissa have won?
