Bleeding Through's Marta Peterson Is a Metal Goddess

Earlier today, I finally got around to hearing the new Bleeding Through album The Great Fire, and I really liked it. I think it is considerably better than their last album, the self titled one. While, I liked that one, I always thought it lacked something. This new though, is heavy and brutal, but yet with the right amount of melody. Bleeding Through, one of my utmost favorite, if not in fact favorite, metalcore bands are back in form. And, so I do think it's time for me to show love to their impossibly beautiful goth metal goddess and keyboardist: Marta Peterson!

The stunning Miss. Peterson joined Bleeding Through in 2003 replacing Molly Street on keyboards. It's the keyboards that really set Bleeding Through apart from the rest of the metalcore set, as it adds a black metal influence. In particular, with Marta who is a black metal fan herself. Another reason to be in love with her!!

I really became a fan of the band after the amazing The Truth album, which saw the keyboards really bought out. They took far more advantage of Marta's musical talents and in doing so they had one of 2007's best albums.

This video is actually my favorite song from that album. Yes, I realize it's a ballad but so what?! It's a great fucking song, with great lyrics. And, Marta looks fucking stunning in it.


I actually saw them perform at Ozzfest that year. Not only were they fucking killer onstage, but she is even more beautiful in person. I was floored by how sexy and gorgeous she looked. I started, like a dorky little fool, to scream, "I love you Marta!" But hey, what I can say? I really do love her!

And, I am not the only one. Marta has many times been declared, deservedly so, as one of the hottest women in metal. In fact, she's been on Revolver's Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock cover twice. The first one with the beautiful Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil and the second one with the sexy Kat Von D.

My favorite album of theirs is their next one: Declaration. From that album comes this video which Beavis and Butthead would no doubt approve as it has kick ass metal, fire, and Marta's cleavage!!


Marta, though, has recently broken many a metalhead's heart by getting engaged with Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel. Lucky dude! Give me some time, as I cry to myself...
OK, I'm back. Marta's beautiful blue eyes, pale, white skin, gorgeous, jet black, long hair, amazing, natural cleavage, and great legs make her a stunning vision of goth perfection. Add her love for metal and her playing so well in such a kick ass band, and you have someone who cannot be called anything less than a metal goddess!!!

Music Mix: Feel the Power!

There are songs that when I listen to them I just feel great inside, for whatever reason that maybe. Perhaps it's the lyrics, the band, the feel of the song,l it jsut depends on the track or so many other factors. This, my latest mix, and my first in six months, is filled with songs that give me that good feeling. I wanna rock out to them, I wanna sign along to them, and some even empower me.



My intention is to do the same for you, hence the title. The nude beauty on the cover is the always stunning, sexy, and sweet Courtney Cummz. Why her? Cause, I think just looking at her will make you feel good. And, as I have said before here, her "cute" blog always gives me a positive feeling whenever I read it, so she goes along perfectly with this mix.



For those of you feeling down, I hope this mix lifts up yours spirits, and for those already of us feeling good, it'll add to the happiness. I made to sure to include a good variety of classic and modern hard rock, metal, metalcore, thrash, and groove metal. Enjoy and rock on, my metal brothers and sisters!!!

Music Mix: The Official Soundtrack to an Ass Whooping

Has your day, week, month, etc. sucked? Is there some asshole, dickhead, douchebag, etc., that you know who deserves to get punched in the face? Are you just pissed off? Or do you want a good intro for your wrestling character? If you answered yes, to any of those questions, then this is the mix for you!

In many ways, this mix is to make you feel better about some sucky shit and can serve as a companion piece to one of my older mixes, No Man Is without Enemies. I realize that both have the same Dangerous Toys song, but its a great song and really fits both.

All of the songs are about one of these subjects: fighting, dieing, killing, kicking ass, violence, over coming crap, destruction, death, etc. Song that just sound badass and/ or bands that are just fucking badass! Well, you get my drift!

Killswitch Engage at Irving Plaza 3/19/10

On Friday, March 20, 2010, my friend Alan and I went to see Killswitch Engage live at Irving Plaza in NYC. What a great show! It was the second of two sold-out shows, at Irving Plaza (the first was night before on Thursday). We didn't know what to expect as KSE signer Howard Jones is out for personal reasons (the two things I hear are: back pains and family emergency). But, in the end we saw an AWESOME show; one that far exceeded our expectations.


The opening act is one of my personal favorite melodic death metal acts, Dark Tranquillity. The Swedish band opened with my favorite song of theirs, Terminus (The Place Where Death Is Most Alive) and blistered to about a half-hour set of killer songs. Included was a song from their new album, We Are the Void. I just bought the album this week and man, it is KILLER! You guys gotta go get it! Very underrated band, I think; I wish they could have played a longer set. I would love to see them sometime again. The band were also really nice and fan friendly. They met and signed stuff for the fans. This is the only pic I got at the show; it's me and lead signer Mikael Stanne:


The next band that played is Christian metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. I had heard them before but remember not caring much for them. But, I figured if we stayed outside I could give them a listen, and see if I would like them, now. Nope. Hated them even more. Terrible overrated crap. Sorry. Sucks that had more of a crowd and played a longer set than DT. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?


Finally it was time for KSE!!!!!!!!! All That Remains signer Phil Labonte sang all of the Howard Jones stuff. Meanwhile, original Jesse Leech came back on Thursday. It was the first time he played with them since he left the band. He sang all of his songs that he did with KSE. Man, he was killer!!!! As, was Phil (the band, thus, became Philswitch Engage). Many of my fav songs were played like End of Heartache, Rose of Sharyn, When Darkness Falls, etc. The band sounded tight, the packed crowd was totally into them. There was lots of jumping, stage diving, moshing, and, best of all, signing along with the band. I have to say KSE is one of the best live bands I ever seen. We would LOVE to see them again, next time with Howard Jones (one of most soulful signers in all of metal). KILLSWITCH ENGAGE RULZ!!!!!!

Music Mix: Bang Thy Head on Christmas

So, it's that time of year. And, of course there are those amongst who are either sick of regular Christmas music or just plain hate. For those of us, I present to you a bunch of metal and hard rocking holiday tunes in my latest mix. Whether they are covers of Christmas classics or original tunes, whether they celebrate the day or are clear anti-Christmas songs, me thinks you will enjoy them. So, get some eggnog, raise those fucking horns, and get in the the mosh pit this holiday season! Oh, and if you are looking for more traditional music, get the fuck out of here and get your ass to the mall or something.

Music Mix: No Man Is without Enemies

This month's mix was inspired from a group of us from CD Mom (the group that I trade mixes with) went to a Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant, and when I got my fortune cookie it said, "No man is without enemies". Someone told me that should be my next mix. I said, "Yeah, I'll make them all songs about fighting". I was told that was a cool idea and so this mix was born.

I got some sleaze metal, thrash, metalcore, punk, death metal, etc. in here. This is basically a soundtrack to whoop someone's ass to. Enjoy and download here: http://www.4shared.com/file/106413249/a3eecef/No_Man_Is_without_Enemies.html

Music Mix: Love Kills

Well I know Valentine's is over and done with (thank fucking God), but what better time to be reminded how much love sucks than during this month?! And, so my newest mix should help you reflect on the suckiness of that emotion and holiday.

That said if you are expecting some sweet or loving crap you are barking up the wrong tree. Romantic this mix ain't. Pissed off, politically incorrect, and offensive it is. Oh and heavy, of course! You can get it here.

Enjoy! And, horns up, motherfuckers!
