Merzbow Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Bit late but supergroup of sorts Violent Magic Orchestra have an album out, proper weirdo black metal with noise/techno artists involved. And Atilla. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 20, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2016 sad to hear that Team Rock has gone into administration with immediate effect....which means Metal Hammer, Classic Rock and it's Prog off shot are no more. What sucks even more is that the staff have been laid off without pay 6 days before Christmas. I'm still a regular read of Metal Hammer and Classic Rock, they are my goto reads when im taking a shit.

WyattSheepMask Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That really does suck. I've been a Metal Hammer reader for years and always found it to be much better than Kerrang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted December 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just got my dads Christmas gift, tickets to go and see Martin Barre at the Cluny in Newcastle. Can't wait for this. Â Great little venue, last time was to see focus and now this guitar legend... I know he'll be chuffed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammorgz Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) That really is sad news. Metal Hammer was a great magazine. Â Actually, I have a question relating to an issue of Metal Hammer that I can't seem to find online. Bare with me as my memory is a little bit hazy about it but it was a special issue that focused on the satanic aspects of Metal. It featured a large spread about Black Sabbath, Norwegian black Metal and other various bits and bobs. This issue came out about 10 years ago, I think? Sadly when moving house a couple of years ago my parents got rid of a lot of my old magazines and that was one of them. If possible, I'd love to find it online and buy it again. Again, sorry for the crap info but I imagine if you've read it you'll know what I'm on about. Edited December 21, 2016 by sammorgz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members waters44 Posted December 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Really disappointed that Team Rock is done. Ive been an avid reader of Metal Hammer for over 6 years now so its going to be weird not having it around anymore. Other then this thread it was also the only place I ever saw where bands were playing on future tours.  I always wondered how Team Rock radio made any money as I couldn't imagine there were many people subscribed to their website - clearly they weren't making much money!  I used to love the radio station when it was on DAB too, but unfortunately when they left DAB for internet only I could never get it to work on my computer or phone so I had to say goodbye to my afternoons with Dewsbury Edited December 22, 2016 by waters44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
