Rotting Christ
Apparently a Republican candidate for the US presidency is making a bit of a tit of himself at the moment. Playing to the bible-thumping fraternity, Gary Bauer, currently with 1% of the Republican vote, said:

"I could go on and on with such examples, many of them even more repulsive, from the notorious play, CORPUS CHRISTI, which depicted Jesus as a homosexual having sex with his Apostles, to a painting displayed at Penn State University showing a Nazi soldier and a Catholic priest standing side by 

side on top of a Jewish victim of the Holocaust. I will leave to your imagination the anti Catholic garbage promoted by such entertainers as Sinead O’ Connor, Madonna and the homosexual music group ROTTING CHRIST."

Sundown
Sundown have gone to the great cemetary in the sky. Third on the right just past Jimi Hendrix, number 1213. Oh no, I must have read that wrong, they've actually just changed their name to Cemetary 1213. A new album is already on the way. Expect some classic gothic metal.

Metallysee Suck
The Belgian Metallysee agency have fucked over all the Russian metal fans. They had arranged two shows in Moscow with bands such as Pro Pain, Iron Monkey and Marduk. After the Russion promoter had payed out lots of money on arrangements and advertising, Metallysee decided to cancel the shows. Because of this the promoter in question has had 

to shut down his record label due to enormous debts. For the full story have a search around the web.

Metal Babies
Stampin' Ground's Ian Glasper 

and his wife Joanne has a wee baby girl, Amy Jade, on the morning of January the 12th. Ian said: "Hey, everyone, I'm now a dad! My wife Joanne had a baby girl this morning by ceasarean section - Amy Jade, who of course is the most beautiful baby in the whole ward (I am biased, I admit...) - she weighed 6lbs 3oz. It was the scariest thing I've ever been involved in, but also the most perfect. Mother and baby are both doing good. To all my friends who wished us well: THANKS!"
