Thrash metal’s fiercest drummer, Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Misfits, Mr. Bungle, Testament, Fantômas — you name it), has taken his legendary double bass energy and poured it straight into a cup of coffee. Enter Double Kick —a bold new espresso roast that comes packaged in a collectible drum tin designed after one of Lombardo’s own kits! Metal!

And Death to False Metal!
Hello and welcome to Video Clip of The Week! This week’s featured video clip also qualifies 100% as a Pink Thing of the Day, because it is just so effing pink. Oh, the Pinkness. Their love of Pink aside, Night Club has a fascinating pedigree, being comprised of Keyboardist Mark Brooks (a co-director of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse as well as videos by Slayer and Danzig, among others) and singer Emily Kavanaugh, whose dad is the keyboard player in the legendary Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.

Images seen here of this one-of-a-kind Slayer Birthday Cake were posted on the Facebook page of my friend, Rob. This cake was designed by Jessa Blavatsky, a lady who obviously knows her Metal. Awesome Slayer Cake celebrates the birthday of Jimmy Duff, owner of the Heavy Metal bar Duff’s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Clearly, what we have here is a case of Too Much Metal for One Cake!
It is indeed a sad time in the Metal Community today as it has been announced that Slayer founding member and Guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, passed away on May 2nd, 2013 at just 49 years of age. Cause of death is reported as liver failure, though Hanneman had suffered with the extremely rare but serious condition Necrotizing Fasciitis (popularly known as flesh eating bacteria) since contracting it possibly through a spider bite in 2011. What a horrible way to go. RIP, Jeff and just remember, God Listens to Slayer.
