Whoa, this was something. MIXI (Metal Israel Exclusive Interview) with bassist Glenn Barry forthcoming as well as a show review. Continue reading to see some photos…
Korozia, the weekly metal magazine on Tel Aviv’s 106FM, disseminates information and news updates about the genre in Israel and abroad – the elements of metal like glam, doom, death, heavy, folk, power, speed, thrash, Viking and black metal.
The central idea is to create awareness of the metal genre, thought of as the underdog in Israel and abroad.
Golan Shai is the name of the guy who decided to try and redeem Israeli radio by creating a metal haven on the air, at least for two hours a week.
All this and more can be bought here.
DISCLAIMER: I have received nothing for posting this – it’s just that the shirt rocks – but I really should try doing something $ wise with this site…
Besides the previously mentioned Nine Inch Nails gig, and Therion/Draconian shows, other musicians are making that trip over the pond…

Mayhem is back September 29.
NOFX for October 5 in Jerusalem and October 6 in Tel Aviv.

Yiddish metal.
I mean, they do it in Russian too. They have a project called “Sidur” that is in Russian for some reason. You can hear at their main page and their Myspace page.
The player is messing up my layout so you gotta check their website. Please note the last track on this player has high significance – the Jewish partisans sang it as they fought the Nazis (yimach shemom) in the forests of Europe.
So check it out. They’re kinda like Rammstein but, well, so much cooler. Unzer menschen.
And if anyone doesn’t like it, they can kishen me vie da Yidden hobt gereet (insert your favorite Yiddish curse here, I have several enjoyable choice phrases).
Jerusalem homegrown DIY paradigm destruction drawn from the veins of integrity. Click on the logo, check it out.
These new songs from their upcoming EP ‘The Mundane Corruption’- the title track and ’36 Second Flatline’ are available by clicking the image above.

Sven De Caluwe of Aborted makes his debut as one of the two vocalists of WhoreXcore (the other being a rather shiny-headed fellow who goes by the name of Jones).
It’s hooky, evil metal in grand style. Check it out.
