Will, fuck that old bitch. Old fucks are always miserable pieces of shit. I wanna just put a bullet in my head if I'm ever like that when I'm old.
Why do people have this kind of attitude when thinking about when they would become elderly? I can't wait to be old. You can do whatever the fuck you want because you're old. And everyone has to respect you because you're old. And you can have all the cats you want! It's a sweet deal, really.
We are sorry today to be the bearers of some very sad news. Will, the drummer for sleepmakeswaves, has decided to leave the group at the end of our current tour in order to pursue other priorities in his life. This has not been an easy decision for him, but rest assured that there is no bad blood between Will and those of us that remain in sleepmakeswaves. We are still mates and while we are gutted to be losing him, we know his decision has been made with the band’s future interests at heart. Here, in his own words, are his reasons:
To our fans,
I take this time to write to everyone to inform all of my planned departure from sleepmakeswaves.
Firstly I would like to start by saying my thanks. Over the past five or so years sleepmakeswaves has been like a family to me. Everyone, that’s Alex, Kid, Thomas and our newest talent Otto have been amazing musicians that have constantly pushed me to be the best that I can be. To have the opportunity to play with such amazing people has truly been an honour. To have the opportunity to share the experiences we have had with such great friends is an even greater privilege. Words cannot express how much this truly upsets me, however events have come to pass with my career that has made it almost impossible to get the time off to participate in the amazing opportunities that sleepmakeswaves have sitting on the horizon. I want to thank everyone for their continued support, to all of our fans and to Mike and Alex of Bird’s Robe Records.
On a personal note thank you Alex, Kid and Otto you have been amazing guys to work with and I wish you all the greatest of success in the future. I know you all have what it takes to make it big in the post rock scene, and I look forward to watching the future growth of my baby sleepmakeswaves. I’ll miss you all but this is not an ending, only a beginning to bigger and better things. On a side note to everyone. I will be playing all of the September shows coming up. But these will be my last

This really sucks. The drumming was one of my favorite parts of sleepmakeswaves.
In other news, Metalocalypse may be coming to a close.
A few weeks back mxdwn covered this year’s installment of the Mayhem Festival in San Bernardino. While we were there, we took the time to speak with Metalocalypse/Dethklok mastermind Brendon Small. Small was casual and frank about the state of his mega successful Cartoon Network show Metalocalypse, explaining to us how the show itself might be coming to an end. He quipped at one point dryly of the band’s technically cartoon status, “We don’t exist. I think I do exist.”
In between working on season 4 of the wildly popular show–which will be returning to its original quarter hour format–Small has completed and named a new solo project, appropriately titled Brendon Small’s Galaktikon. A project featuring him and live Dethklok band members Bryan Beller and Gene Hoglan (famous for his work in Death and Strapping Young Lad), he describes it as a, “High stakes intergalactic rock album.”
Live Dethklok is backed by a large video wall, playing videos synced to the songs featuring their animated counterparts shredding or banging along. As to any future evolution of the Dethklok performance experience itself Small expressed enthusiasm for the technology utilized to pull off Japanese hologram performer Hatsune Miko. He remarked, “It’s amazing. It’s a great idea.” He jokes with a smile, “I was at Disneyland recently, which is not metal, but it’s cool. I’m not very metal, I don’t know if you noticed that yet.” Small detailed his own affinity for an attraction at Disneyland called “The Wonderful World of Color.” He explains, “[It's] this huge gigantic pit of water it’s 300 yards wide. They shoot the water up in the air and they project the images onto that. Then they shoot fire into the water. I thought if you could get a band there, some kind of protective shell covering and glass and have them play. You’d worship them like gods. You could start your own new religion.” Small offers humorously in discussing this innovative approach, “The way I pitched this show was a big stupid Disneyland ride, but with murder.”
Upon being queried as to whether a Metalocalypse movie is in the cards for the show (much like South Park’s creators did with South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut), Small indicates that the animated program might be drawing to a close. “My goal is to do this season and then do a movie and then end it,” he states soberly. He adds, “We’re at the mercy of budgets.” South Park is apparently the bar for quality in the TV cartoon-turned movie arena. He explains, “South Park, they’re the ones that nailed it. Amazing, that they did that. What a feat. I remember laughing until my face hurt.”
@slapguitarer: You gotta be KIDDING me <_> That fucking SUCKS :.( I hope if the show ends, they still tour occasionally because I still havent seen them!
Can't wait to hear the new album though

First of all, my Grandma is dead as of last month. Second, I was talking about my ladys Grandmother, who thinks I'm a worthless waste of time.

In addition to my favorite show possibly ending, I just found out that Powerglove is the exact same night as the Decapitated show......
GOD SON OF AN ASS FUCK DAMNIT.
Dan left Tesseract too...
