Lulz of an article. Best line: "The U.S. military has found the music handy at times. According to Mother Jones magazine, a song from Deicide's album "Scars of the Crucifix" was played during interrogation of detainees in Iraq. The band said it was proud to do its part for the war effort."

Remember when Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage played the Democratic National Convention in Boston a couple of years ago? Mass. Celebrated being the Metalcore capital of the world. Weird that Tampa wouldn't do the same for Death Metal.

I'm sayin. Makes no sense.

Man, we totally are the metalcore capital of the world, arent we? LAMMMME

The saddest part is that most people around the world consider Boston the capital. Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Unearth, The Red Chord, Acacia Strain, Bury Your Dead,All that Remains. None of these bands are from Boston.

It doesn't matter if bands aren't literally from Boston. When I travel for work, people ask where I'm from and I say Boston. Killswitch used to play in Hanson. Close enough to Boston to call them a Boston band when it comes to playing a national level IMO.

The only metalcore band actually from Boston is Panzerbastard.

True enough, sir.

:c

I wish ct were worth a poop so I could book a Blessed Offal gig at cherry st as an excuse to get stinking drunk with Ross, say culturally üplifting things and spend all of his gas money on Scorpions on the internet jukebox when I could have just plugged my iPod in

ouch.

Its all in the haircuts and Redsox shirts.

Alert Amnesty International and make them play songs from the good Deicide albums.

You never need an excuse to get drunk and listen to the Scorpions.

But given the Republican focus on rape the last two weeks, I'm surprised they didn't invite Scaphism to play.

It's really better though that they didn't let any good bands play, who wants to play in a commercial that licks a billionaire's butthole for three days?

wait, did this happen? WHERE WAS I???

Agreed

I was literally just flipping through the channels when I happened upon The Rachel Madden Show and she was giving weird facts about Tampa and talked about how anyone whose in Tampa the weekend of this convention should ditch the politics and go to a metal gig instead.

Deicide were discussed, and had a bit of a music video shown.

Also shown and discussed:
Obituary
Atheist
Cannibal Corpse
Hate Eternal
Morbid Angel

No. Fucking. Joke.
