??? Why, it’s Rob Halford, on a sweet cruiser, singing Hellbent For Leather in a holographic glitter trench! Faster than a laser bullet! Priest’s “last” tour (we’ll see how long that lasts) stopped i...
What’re you, a poser? I got there just in time for Cephalopodic Sperm Packets and picked up a shirt between sets. Props to Dan Dormition for designing the shirts and No Clean Singing’s Islander for b...
Apologies for the long disappearances! MDF? No. Wacken? No. Dragging myself out of the air conditioning and up a few too many hills? Why, yes of course! I started running and lifting last year, using...
Crypter’s sick amp art. It takes a lot to get me out to Worcester. That’s why this was my first show at Club Oasis, conveniently located between a Baptist church and something called a Dance Ranch. L...
Summer snuck up on Boston, that means no more bitching out of shows because it’s raining or snowing or whatever. (All secret code for “But I’m so comfortable on this couch in my pajama pants!”) Latel...
Hop those hedges to get to the beach…and the bar. :D I’m back from Puerto Rico! Believe it or not, I am only the slightest bit tan (and not sunburned at all!), still not unpacked, and full of rum dri...
El Yunque Hello ladies and germs, just stopping by for a quick update before I take off for sunny Puerto Rico (home to many more metal bands that I ever would’ve guessed!) to check out the giant radi...
Hell yes! Today is my birthday! So you’re pretty much obligated to forgive me for disappearing these past few weeks. Manowar: so that happened. It was the first show I think I’ve ever been to where t...
A hero’s welcome for those who heed the call! Will I see you there? Come on up and say hello, Sean and I will be in the pit! Can’t make it? Watch this space for photos and a full review after this we...
Sometimes I’m bored, sometimes I’m poor, and sometimes I’m stuck at the office and maybe Cosmic Hearse hasn’t updated in a few days, so I go pawing through the free music offerings from Amazon to see...
Right between my house and this venue. Thank the gods. I promised you part II — now I deliver! Back-to-back show weekends are exhausting and wonderful, I had to be careful or my liver would dessicate...
There’s only a few more shopping days until Valentine’s day! Are you getting someone a present? Are you a lady getting yourself something to tide you over until the heart-shaped boxes of chocolates g...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, having a great little venue that books metal shows within walking distance of my house is a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I can pre-game at home (w...
Because I was such an obstinate tomboy growing up, I’m still learning to put a look together without coming off as a bag lady or a man — so I draw a lot of inspiration from other bloggers’ outfit pos...
We interrupt your regularly scheduled Bleak programming. It’s been the week from hell — between hurting my back doing deadlifts (watch your form, kids!) and Fedex losing my new computer, there’s been...
Flyer by the talented Andrew Labanaris! Seems like it always snows when I’m excited to get somewhere. (See also: marching through the snow to get to Armageddon Shop!) It could’ve been the storm of th...
It’s almost over, but it’s been a great year for metal and horror in my opinion. While I’m not big on reviewing art (I’m no critic and feel like taste is so subjective!), 2010’s been so full of good ...
Armageddon Shop Yesterday morning, Boston saw its first real frost, then flakes started to fall (and stick!) by early afternoon. That night, we saw a full lunar eclipse during the winter solstice — t...
Well, you did it: we raised $50 to donate a goat through Oxfam Unwrapped. Talk about speedy! Click to see the Oxfam e-card: Click your new goat pal. Big ups to everyone who donated, linked to the fun...
Giving selflessly isn’t very metal, but is there any beast more noble and revered by the metalhead than the goat? That’s why I’ve set up this charity microdrive. Oxfam America, a Boston-based interna...

Every week, IFB Network runs Links a la Mode, a roundup of new style posts, editorials, and sponsored links…looks like last week’s post landed on the list this week, here it is! This week’s list is h...
My holiday shopping list grows shorter by the year, thankfully, but somehow I still end up going overbudget year after year. Must be time for another Metal Millionaire! Alexander Wang Rocco mini duff...
щ(ﾟДﾟ)屮 Winter owns, because it’s dark and frostbitten and other adjectives that might also be used to describe good music. However, it’s now pitch fucking black out before I even get out of work — n...
I brought home the biggest weiner in the bar. :} So, Halloween happened. It’s a good thing I had this camera or I wouldn’t have remembered shit! Considering that last year was a bust (thanks to a lon...
Some of you are probably obsessive geeks like I am — my Halloween costume’s been sitting in a bag by the kitchen table for a month now. Everyone else is probably scrambling around for a last-minute c...
There’s this huge horror movie and metal convention every October called Rock & Shock; it goes down outside of Boston and it’s become a pre-Halloween ritual for S. and I for three years running n...
No, not that kind of three-way. (Would I really be blogging about it if it were? (Probably.)) It’s been a good week for further deafening myself — rather than picking and choosing, I decided to take ...
Sentenced to one day of looking adorbs in the stocks. Every savvy New Englander knows better than to venture into Salem close to Halloween — far too crowded and kitsch — but it just doesn’t feel like...
The Music Gym @ 41 Rugg I’ve mentioned The Music Gym more than once on this blog — it was a rehearsal and gallery space in Allston, as well as the perfect spot to wander over and play with friends af...
