  • Slipknot Dismiss Cybersquatting Lawsuit Against Slipknot.com

    According to Domain Name Wire, Slipknot have dismissed their lawsuit against slipknot.com. The band, who operate under slipknot1.com, initially sought legal action for cybersquatting and pay-for-click advertisements leading fans to counterfeit merch, tickets, and VIP passes.

    The filing was made under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in an effort to reclaim the domain, which has been held by Slipknot Online Services, Ltd. since 2001. It was filed in rem to target the website directly instead of the owner.

    The company showed up to defend the domain and filed a motion to dismiss the case after the band failed to serve a registrant during the allotted time. Slipknot then responded with a voluntary dismissal.

    Notably, the dismissal was made without prejudice. As such, Slipknot have the right to bring the issue back up again in the future.

  • Fire From The Gods Cancel Three Shows Due To Extreme Weather

    Fire From The Gods have cancelled their shows in Haltom City, TX, Oklahoma City, OK, and Tulsa, OK. The concerts were scrapped due to extreme weather.

    The group commented:

    “Update for Haltom City, OKC and Tulsa Only.

    Out of an abundance of caution and desire to keep all of our fans and artists safe, the Promoter and tour have decided to cancel the shows in Haltom City, Oklahoma City and Tulsa due to the extreme winter weather. We were hoping to reschedule but the bands already have a full calendar for the year so at this time it is just not possible. Any online sales will be refunded automatically. We are sorry for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding. Stay safe and warm!

    Much love,

    FFTG”

  • Terminal Sleep’s Todd Tombleson To Undergo Spinal Surgery, Band Cancel Immediate Live Shows

    Terminal Sleep drummer Todd Tombleson will soon be undergoing spinal surgery. As a result, the band’s Immediate shows have been cancelled.

    The group commented:

    “UPDATE ON UPCOMING SHOWS

    We are very sad to share that we will not be appearing at Froth and Fury or Life’s A Beach over this coming month. Our drummer Todd has a long-term spinal injury that has deteriorated significantly recently and he requires surgery.

    As a band we believe in prioritising health and wellbeing, and with some time we will be back at full strength.

    We appreciate your understanding and look forward to playing again (with new music…)

    SWIPE TO SEE THE MRI OF TODD’S CURSED BACK”

  • Exodus Premiere “3111” Video

    Exodus have premiered a new video for their song “3111.” The clip was released through X/Twitter after being banned from YouTube due to graphic violence. The track is from the band’s new album, “Goliath,” which will be available on March 20. The group had the following to say about the single:

    “We decided to go hard with the leadoff single, ‘3111‘. The song is about the narco killings in Juarez, and ‘3111’ is the estimated number of murders for 2010 alone.”

  • Opeth Premiere “§7” Video

    Opeth have premiered a new video for their song “§7.” That track is from the band’s latest album “The Last Will And Testament.”

    Vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt commented:

    “That track was scary to play live at first. Most of our songs are challenging, I suppose, and this one is no exception. I believe we all love playing this one. There are a myriad of details that could go wrong though, but it’s fun. It keeps you on your toes. And of course, then there’s Ian Anderson‘s narrations, which is the only thing in our set that isn’t ‘live’.

    Since we don’t play to a click track, it’s dragging or pushing depending on the tempo of the evening. Again, it’s fun and I love the unforeseeable character of this song in a live setting. That’s a bit odd since I normally want to feel completely secure and really know what I’m doing. I generally don’t like surprises on stage.”
