On This Day (8/14): Rush, Mayhem Festival

Rush (08/14/2007; Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Houston, TX)

I was such a huge Rush fan at this time. I haven’t been into them in a very long time, but you have to respect what they do. They’re one of those legendary bands. These days, if I’m gonna listen to Rush, it’s usually gonna be their ‘80s pop leaning material, but back then I was learning to play bass and I was enamored with all the crazy prog shit Geddy Lee played in the ‘70s.

This was an interesting show. They were touring on Snakes and Arrows so you had a lot of that material, but Rush was trying to also do a throwback sort of thing, so we got some obscure stuff that was hardly ever played live like “A Passage to Bangkok” and “Entre Nous.” That was my shit and I was losing my mind for it.

Stellar, perfect performance from all the guys, of course. Geddy’s voice sounded a little rough on the very old, very high, screechy stuff, but he managed to get through those songs okay. This was the only time I saw Rush, and even though I don’t listen much to them these days, I’m glad I got to see them before they retired. Some of the best to ever do it, really.

Mayhem Festival: Killswitch Engage / Bullet for My Valentine / Cannibal Corpse / Job for a Cowboy / Whitechapel (08/14/2009; AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX)

This was a day and a half. First off, here’s some pictures from the night before. My friend Jesse and I drove into San Antonio the night before and got a hotel, so we did a little exploring. Look at my crazy hair!

Okay, so we got to the thing, and immediately discovered that since this thing was sponsored by Rockstar Energy Drink, there was free Rockstar, but water cost money. Guess what our broke asses drank? So I was fucking crazy on that shit. I was so wired, it was unbelievable, and I was going crazy for every band. When we went inside for the indoor portion to our nosebleed seats, Jesse seriously thought I was going to fall off the balcony cause I was moving around so much.

Whitechapel was still in their prime right around this time, so they put on an excellent set. Same goes for Job for a Cowboy, who was still busting out “Entombment of a Machine.” Cannibal Corpse came out and said “we’re going to play a love song,” then went right into “Fucked with a Knife.” Awesome.

This was the only time I got to see Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones. I goofed on them a lot because I wasn’t crazy about Killswitch at the time, but they did play a fantastic set. I just found Howard goofy sounding back then, especially when they busted out the “Holy Diver” cover. I’ve gotten used to Howard, but I’m a Jesse Leach guy and I was actually happy when they switched back. I’m glad though that now Howard is back on good terms with the band. My ultimate dream is to see a tour with both of them. How cool would that be?

Anyway, Slayer and Marilyn Manson headlined this thing, but Jesse drove us to San Antonio and he didn’t like either of them, so he demanded we leave after Killswitch. I give him shit to this day about that, especially since Jeff Hanneman died and Slayer died with him (in my opinion), but Jesse still feels no remorse. Either way, it was a fun day, but I’ll always regret not staying the whole time. It’s not that I’m the biggest fan of either one, but how are you going to skip Slayer and Marilyn Manson? Poor form, Jesse.

SANGRE Releases Official Music Video for "Death March"

Southern California based Metal Band SANGRE has released the official music video for “Death March,” off of their upcoming album, Mas Fuerte Que La Muerte (Stronger Than Death), due out 12/13/2019. Shot at Fuel Music Studios in Fullerton, CA, the video for “Death March” features the band members experiencing different types of stresses from overdue bills, depression, work related issues, eviction, alcohol abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

youtube

“‘Death March,’ lyrically, touches on the current situation of ‘living wages’ vs ‘cost of living,’ focusing on the stress, depression, and neglect of personal health and family while just trying to survive in this high demand world. The phenomenon is an actual epidemic in Japan known as ‘Karoshi’ or ‘overworking to survive,’ which in many cases results in suicides or fatigue leading to death.” – Henry Sanchez (Vocals)

Click HERE to Download / Stream “Death March” Online!

SANGRE have long since made their mark on California’s Metal Scene & beyond.

With over 15 years on the musical frontlines this band has come to learn that longevity requires the commitment, unmatched work ethic, creative energy, and unshakable determination that is central to their ethos.

SANGRE has toured extensively throughout the United States & Mexico, and most recently made their UK debut performing @ Bloodstock Open Air Festival 2018 in Derbyshire, England.

Over the years the band’s undeniable hard work and outstanding performances earned them slots at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival in 2010 & 2012, followed by the 2013 Jagermeister Music U.S. Tour as direct support to one of Latin America’s biggest bands, Molotov.

In 2015 Sangre was selected by their sponsor, Jägermeister to perform at “Welcome To Rockville” music festival in Jacksonville, Florida.

With a diverse sound and influences from across the spectrum of Heavy Metal, Sangre can and has opened for some of the biggest names in the genre such as, Slayer, Slipknot, Korn, Marilyn Manson, In Flames, Ministry, Motorhead, Anthrax, Sepultura, Soilwork, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, Carcass, Suffocation, Gojira, Brujeria, Chimaira, Suicidal Tendencies, Hatebreed, The Black Dahlia Murder, Six Feet Under, Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, and many more!

The name they’ve created via years of Perseverance and a DIY attitude has caught the attention of many people in the music industry, one of those being, Metal ambassador Jose Mangin (Sirius XM Liquid Metal DJ & Headbangers Ball host) who to this day plays SANGRE on his satellite radio shows and even joined the band on stage to perform their cover of the Brujeria classic, “Matando Gueros”.

Speaking of Brujeria, that band has taken Sangre out on tour a few times over the years and in 2014 invited Sangre vocalist, Henry Sanchez to join them as their second vocalist. Henry would take on the stage name “El Sangron” and has played over 200 shows on 5 continents with the band since his inception.

SANGRE spent 2019 touring with Brujeria, with Sanchez performing in both, opening with Sangre and closing the shows with Brujeria, throughout Europe and the UK.

Put simply, SANGRE eats, sleeps, sweats, and bleeds Heavy Metal! This band represents the musical equivalent of an unstoppable juggernaut careering through any, every, and all obstacles that the road would cast in its way.

With an all consuming hunger to succeed in getting their music to the masses and band to the top of the industry, SANGRE is here, Pay close attention.

— about puck

❝ Growing up Noah Puckerman was nothing more than a statistic. A stereotype. The cliche story of a kid without a father who acted out for the sole purpose of getting attention – it was the only way he’d get noticed. Any anger he felt was buried deep inside of him, replaced by a strange sense of pride that came with every exciting story he could tell. His daredevil antics, desire to take on any challenge, and sheer tendency to cause mayhem earned him a reputation from a young age, and the glory that came with it fulfilled him in a way he never thought possible. He fed off the rumors that swirled about him, only getting darker and more dangerous as he aged.

When he was younger his behavior was written off – a rowdy boy, too much energy, too much time on his hands, he’ll grow out of it. But he didn’t. Much to his mother’s dismay, Noah inherited his father’s destructive nature and general lack of accepting responsibility. High school was a nightmare, both for his mother and the teachers that were forced to try and discipline the boy who laughed off consequences. He was untouchable.

Until he wasn’t.

First came minor incidents. Being brought home in the back of a cop car after getting caught with a spray can, or a baseball bat, actions that the local police were glad to write off as boys will be boys. Then came girls. Noah Puckerman’s downfall. His kryptonite. If there was one thing that could simultaneously get his motor running and steal his focus, it was a hot ass and a pair of pouty lips. Petty theft and vandalism were suddenly child’s play once he learned how to tickle a girl’s inner thighs. Needless to say, he was racking up notches on his bedpost whenever the opportunity presented itself. The quintessential bad boy, he was beneath the girls he liked the most yet they couldn’t resist him.

One in particular would be his demise. Blonde. Independent. Pure. The perfect cheerleader to corrupt, but it was more than that (though he’d never admit it). Unfortunately, his luck ran out, and what was supposed to be his greatest triumph ended in an unexpected pregnancy. Not wanting to be like his chump of a father, Noah vowed he’d be there, that they could be a family and, most importantly, happy. But he was too much of a mess, drawn to things he’d seemingly never quit – bringing a baby into the world was a huge commitment, neither of them were ready for it. Adoption was the only answer, in her opinion, and ironically giving up the baby was the thing that sent him running.

They hardly associated during the rest of their high school years and he barely walked away with a diploma, but by some miracle he donned the gown and made his mother prouder than she ever thought he would. College was out of the question for him. His grades weren’t there, and while he did possess talent in a few sports, he didn’t have the drive or dedication to truly work at them enough to compete at a collegiate level. But there was something he was good at, his natural prowess for shredding on the guitar.

Noah was in and out of bands all throughout high school, it wasn’t something he took seriously at all. Music was pure fun. He could jump around his garage, playing punk rock loud enough to wake the neighbors, break shit, set it on fire, whatever. It was all the joy of his chaotic behavior, done purely for entertainment, and other people loved it. He was drunk, possibly high, when he and a couple casual buddies of his decided to put a band together - for real this time.

They were losers. The kind of guys who had no chance of making anything of themselves, who still creeped around high school parties, who were suffering from a real case of denial if they thought anything would come from their hobby. They played in crappy pool halls, for free wings and endless beers, or open mic nights just for the hell of it. It wasn’t supposed to be anything but a few bros partying and getting laid, but for the first time in his life, Noah Puckerman was in the right place at the right time. Some fancy music executive showed up at a bar Noah’s band frequented, purposely hunting down the seediest place with the sole intention of hiding out from his in-laws, and actually enjoyed their set. A Green Day number, some high energy Van Halen, a sprinkle of The Clash and a true blue Noah Puckerman original was the perfect recipe for success.

He went from dive bars to music festivals, and eventually found himself behind a mic in the studio recording an album. The entire ordeal is a blur to him, a fever dream – everyone always told him he wouldn’t amount to anything, they were wrong. Noah’s star rose fast. His mohawk, sexual energy and general badassness skyrocketing him high into the world of punk rock, thought of as a dying genre by many, but desperately loved by the fans. And Noah ate it up. He was born to be a rockstar.

Their first single became grossly overplayed on the radio, but he loved every second of it. Fame was glorious, and though he hated having to somewhat reel in his crazy ways, money, women, and exposure were worth it. They marketed him to death, putting him on every talk show, having him make every possible public appearance, there were even Noah Puckerman condom and guitar pick combo packs available at local music stores. At the height of his fame, he stepped into the roll of Will in the Broadway run of American Idiot. It was short-lived, he only performed for a month during the show’s run, but the reviews of his performance were worthy of his mother’s fridge back home. He was finally making her proud, and more importantly, making enough of a living so he could support her.

Sadly, that wasn’t the only thing he was supporting. After the excitement surrounding his Broadway appearance died down, pressure for more music started coming from the label. Noah didn’t like pressure. The first album was a breeze, no one had any expectations, but now he had a following, and none of the singles from the first album held up to the standard the first song set. He turned to alcohol, not that he wasn’t already drowning himself in it beforehand, but a contract looming over his head pushed him to drink more than he admitted.

Like so many rockstars before him, Noah was forced into a stint in rehab. Once his issues started coming to light, things went downhill alarmingly fast. Rumors started circulating about him and he was forced to answer for things he assumed would disappear once he started making the big bucks. Questions about the pregnancy years before came up, accusations about him performing drunk started making their rounds, the same Noah Puckerman that plagued the halls of his high school was now under the bright lights, and the music industry wasn’t as forgiving.

For years he tried to reinvent his initial success, confused as to how at twenty years old he was a hot shot, but at twenty five he was already washed up and irrelevant. A one hit wonder in every sense of the word. His bandmates had the bright idea of getting out of there before things got any worse, cutting their losses, but Noah was too stubborn. Convinced he still had what it took to make it big, to stay relevant and have a long lasting career. He kept putting out music, solo this time, and writing songs, trying to make something of himself. A few of his songs went to other artists, which he considered a win, but his fifteen minutes of fame were over, and any chance of him replicating it were long gone.

He turned to the bottle again, after another series of failures to get his work, from his voice, out there. He was a rockstar, not a writer, but he was the only person who saw himself that way. Noah was in denial about his problem, telling himself that because he wasn’t dabbling in hard drugs he wasn’t sick, he didn’t have a problem. It was just alcohol.

It took a second time in rehab to really open his eyes. Noah was talented, but not the one in a million star he thought he was. He happened to get himself out there at the right time, solely by fate, but he wasn’t meant to be a rockstar forever. At 27 years old he didn’t imagine himself throwing in the towel and turning into one of the “those who can’t do, teach” people, but he wasn’t left with much of a choice. McKinley Prep was something special, an elite school that he didn’t belong in. Half of the student body was smarter than him already, and even the other faculty members talents overshadowed his own, but he could play guitar like no one else, that fact still remained. He mastered piano over the years too, and learned just enough of everything else to be the perfect candidate to teach band.

Now a contributing member to the prestigious private school for two years, Noah’s surprised at how content he is. He chose middle school because it was the only option at the time, but now he wouldn’t have it any other way. He gets them right at the perfect age, before they become complete assholes and when they’re most susceptible to molding their personalities. He’s especially drawn to the kids he sees acting out or who don’t have the best home lives, hoping he can have an impact on them.

Noah Puckerman making a difference, who would’ve thought? ❞

— extra facts

Noah is a two on the kinsey scale. While for the most part he’s attracted to women, there have been more than a few men who he’s had relations with. He’s yet to be in a full blown relationship with a man, but in general relationships aren’t really his ‘thing’ anyway.

His father seems to conveniently pop up in his life whenever Noah’s doing particularly well – when his song first hit the charts, when he made his Broadway debut, and when he first started teaching at McKinley Prep.

I imagine his band’s big song was SR - 71′s iconic one hit wonder Right Now.

L’ex cantante dei Sister Sin Liv “Sin” Jagrell pubblicherà il suo debutto solista “Follow Me” il 28 aprile su Despotz Records. Il disco è stato prodotto dal bassista di U.D.O. Fitty Wienhold e da Stefan Kaufmann (ex ACCEPT, U.D.O.). “Follow Me” contiene anche una cover del classico dei FIGHT “Immortal Sin”, presente sul debutto del 1993 della band di Rob Halford, “War Of Words”. Nella versione di Liv troviamo, in qualità di ospite, il frontman dei THE 69 EYES’ Jyrki 69 (https://youtu.be/8bUBDA_xlR8). La canzone “Killing Ourselves To Live” (https://youtu.be/ch3-LzWbVOg) vede invece la partecipazione del frontman dei Destruction, Schmier. Del brano “Let Me Out”, infine, è stato realizzato un video ufficiale

Quando i SISTER SIN si sono sciolti alla fine del 2015, Liv sapeva di avere ancora molto da dare ai suoi fan. La sua nuova musica mette in luce quanto Liv sappia essere potente, sexy e carica d’attitudine. “Follow Me” tracklist: 01. The Fall 02. Hypocrite 03. Let Me Out 04. Black Souls 05. Godless Utopia 06.

Liv Sin on tour in the UK with American Head Charge

Sweden’s Liv Sin is thrilled to announce she’ll be heading back to the UK next month, as special guests of American Head Charge!

The Swedish metal queen is touring in support of her acclaimed new album ‘Follow Me’, her debut solo release, after thirteen years fronting Sister Sin.

About Liv Sin:

From the gutters of southern Sweden, Liv Jagrell emerged as a major force as lead singer for hard rock band SISTER SIN. Throughout their thirteen-year career, SISTER SIN sold thousands of records and toured the world on high-profile tours, supporting the likes of SLAYER and KING DIAMOND and as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival as well as the Revolver magazine “Hottest Chicks In Metal” tour.

SISTER SIN toured relentlessly for over a decade across Europe and North America garnering an intensely loyal following of rockers that craved the band’s aggressive and melodic brand of hard rock. When SISTER SIN called it quits at the end of 2015, Liv knew that she had much more to offer the world and her fans. From this, LIV SIN was born. The new music shows the power and attitude that Liv is known for.

After a successful thirteen-year career, Sister Sin called it a day in 2015. Undeterred, front woman and musical force of nature Liv Sin formed a new band and began work on her debut solo album. ‘Follow Me’ is the stunning result!

Liv comments; ‘For me, it has never been an option to stop singing. I live for the stage and for my fans. I still miss SISTER SIN, but I am very excited to work on my own project, and I can promise it will not be some soft pop rock. This is going to be metal deluxe, because that’s who I am!’

Co-produced by long time ACCEPT and U.D.O. member Stefan Kaufmann and U.D.O. bassist Fitty Wienhold. ‘Follow Me’ captures Liv at the peak of her abilities, focused and powerful.

On the collaboration with Stefan, Liv states: ‘I’m truly excited to work with Stefan! He is an incredible musician and a long time metal hero. I think he brings that extra bit to my music with his lifelong experience from both ACCEPT and U.D.O.’ Kaufmann adds; ’When Liv called me and asked to produce her new project together with Fitty, of course I said yes! Liv has talent, and I am sure it will be a blast.’
