“Gimmicks” in the Metal World are nothing new. Some more recognizable examples are the KISS/King Diamond warpaint and Iron Maiden’s mascot Eddie. But there are a variety of bands that have their own ideas of trademarks that we may not even take notice. For instance, Kerry King’s arm spikes, Corpsegrinder’s neck and various guitarist’s signature designs. So we do a deep dive into all these. You’ll be surprised with what we came up with. In our “News, Views and Tunes”, we geek out over “The Batman” and the Elvira/Munsters news. Musically, we crank new and used from Eric Wagner (RIP), Midnight, Vulcano, Government Issue, Druid Lord, Spill Your Guts, Fright and introduce Canuck thrashers Hyperia in our “Indie Spotlight”! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
