  • Gibson TV Share First Episode Of “Tony Iommi: The Godfather Of Heavy Metal” Series

    Gibson TV have shared the first episode of their new Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) series “Tony Iommi: The Godfather Of Heavy Metal.” You can check that out below. Here’s an official description of the series:

    “From the birth of Black Sabbath to the creation of heavy metal itself, the journey all began with Tony Iommi. Parents hated it. Their kids loved it. After the Summer of Love began to fade, an ominous new sound emerged from the smokestacks of Birmingham, England. Tony Iommi was the architect of that sound—the man responsible for the genre-defining riffs of Black Sabbath and a sound that would take over the world. More than just a new style of music, heavy metal became a way of life—connecting millions through a spirit of rebellion, passion, and a relentless sound that refuses to fade.”

  • NJ Bloodline Accuse This Is Hardcore Fest Founder Joe McKay Of Bootlegging Their Merch

    NJ Bloodline have called out This Is Hardcore Fest founder Joe McKay for allegedly bootlegging their merch. The band leveled the allegation after finding an unlicensed “Tiger Style” shirt for sale via Die With Your Boots On.

    NJ Bloodline said the following in a series of posts:

    “Livebytheboot Instagram page and their bootlegging ass website “die with your boots on” still has the fake ass Tiger Style t shirt on their site. Do not buy from these grifters. You aren’t supporting NJBL by buying from them.”

    “The bootleg Tiger Style tshirt has been removed from the “die with your boots on” website. It’s never cool to bootleg IP from artists. Don’t buy bootleg shit. Bootleggers… you are parasites that devalue art.”

    “As it turns out, the bootlegger of our Tiger Style shirt is non other than Joe “Hardcore” McKay.

    After finally talking with him he says this is normal in the scene today. He blamed us for not making our own merch. His friends run the site and do the printing. We got him to pull the thumbnail on the homepage but the shirt page is still active.

    He’s avoiding us now and won’t respond to repeated texts and calls to remove the shirt.

    Do not support Joe Hardcore, as he is a lying grifter. This is as unhardcore as it gets.”

    “Joe hardcore is a bootlegger.

    If he had nothing to do with it, then he wouldn’t be able to get the thumbnail on the homepage of the fraud site pulled down.

    We had an agreement that he would pull it down on Sunday before 6pm.

    Judge for yourself on whether not he is a lying grifter.”

    “Proof Joe clowncore is a bootlegger. How can you have the site remove the shirt by an agreed upon time if you ain’t involved? Shady bitch #joehardcore #thisishardcore #njbloodline #njhc #bootleggers”
