Blunt #111 is on sale now!

June 28th, 2012 by Emily | No Comments | Filed in Issues


This issue we hoed into some tasty Nando’s burgers with Jonathan Vigil of The Ghost Inside to get the low down on how the LA melodic mosh crew are making a play for the big leagues with album number three, Get What You Give (not to be confused with that one-hit-wonder we all loved at some point by The New Radicals). Meanwhile, over at the Whitechapel camp they’re all set to crush your souls and rupture your spleens with their latest self-titled release, but all they really want is to win some respect from the Slayer army \m/ Also this issue (you know, because everyone loves a little somethin’ for nothin’), we’ve thrown in a copy of Ear Bleeders Volume 4, packed with the likes of Buried In Verona, Vices, Midnight In Alaska, Sevenskies, When Giants Sleep and loads more so you can rock out while you read.


Filling the pages of BLUNT this month we’ve got:


- House Vs Hurricane are back sans keyboard to get on top again.
- Millencolin: We take a trip down memory lane with the Swedes and discuss their less than certain future.
- Periphery are leading the djent scene and unleashing their mind bending metal action.
- The Offspring punks are cruisin’ California with their latest release.
- Gojira: Le Grill? What the hell is that?! We brush up on our French with the beastly enviro rockers.
- The Ghost Inside are here to take the mosh crown, best get out of the way!


Plus Whitechapel, Hot Water Music, Miss May I, Make Do and Mend, Storm Corrosion, Resist The Thought, King Cannons, Mnemic, Cattle Decapitation, The Early November, a live August Burns Red poster and all the usual BLUNT good bits!

All Aboard The Barge To Hell

June 5th, 2012 by Emily | No Comments | Filed in Tour News


A whole bunch of metal dudes sipping daiquiris and working on their tans? Oh you better believe this is happening. The world’s most extreeeeme metal cruise, Barge To Hell, will set sail on Monday 3rd December from Miami, Florida and float on down to the crystal blue waters of Nassau, Bahamas before returning you back to civilisation on Friday 7th December. Not only will you be joined by 2,000 other metalheads, but you’ll be mingling with 40 killer bands and trying your hardest not to fanboy.


Each band will play two lives shows over two days, giving you 80 shows with unrestricted festival access. Considering you’ll be able to cool off in the Carribbean, we’re thinking this trumps the sweatfest that is the Aussie summer festival circuit.


With some of the cabin accommodation categories already sold out, you should get on this faster than a fat kid to a buffet. Ticket prices start at US$666 (like they’d be any other price) plus US$289 taxes and fees per person and include everything you could ever need: all on-board entertainment, non-alcoholic beverages, all meals at the dining room and 24-hour room service (jackpot!). It’s worth it for the feasts you could order at 3am alone. For more information, head on over to www.bargetohell.com and get in quick to secure your spot in the spa between Behemoth and Napalm Death.


Don’t forget to pack your favourite memorabilia alongside your sunnies and boardshorts as the bands will be doing organised meet & greets and signing everything you have to offer. Even your skin.


With Municipal Waste being the latest act to join the proceedings, they’ll settle in alongside Holy Moses and Paradise Lost with 15 more acts still to to be announced! Check out the line-up so far:
