Metallica Adds More Content to the “Orion A Tribute to Cliff Burton” – with Rare Photos and a New Video of “(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth”
Metallica’s has added new content to its fifth collection ever, “Orion A Tribute to Cliff Burton!” They just added over 150 Rare & Unseen Photos of Cliff! The band also shared a new video of a live performance of “(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth!” Watch it now!
The band commented: We recently acquired hundreds of photos shot by late photographer Russ Marino in Detroit and Chicago in 1985 and 1986. While a few of the photos got the print treatment in magazines back in the ’80s, the vast majority – many of which are alternate images from the same shoot – are seeing daylight for the first time.
Also included are a handful of photos taken by our old friend Harald O, a heroic illustration by Juan Machado, and a digital copy of So What! Volume 20 – Issue 1 in its entirety for you to enjoy.
In case you missed it… the previous two releases featured interviews from close friends and big fans of Cliff. New to this exhibit are extensive conversations with Kirk Hammett, Flemming Rasmussen, Ron Quintana, Harald Oimoen, Death Angel’s Damien Sisson, and Mindforce’s Nick Haines.
This latest exhibition has all kinds of videos, photos, and interviews with Lars Ulrich, Robert Trujillo, Jason Newsted, Mike Bordin (Faith No More), David Ellefson (Kings of Thrash/Dieth/ex-Megadeth), Frank Bello of Anthrax, Becky Baldwin (Merciful Fate), Steve DiGiorgio (Testament/Death/Death To All), John Marshall, Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records, Brian Lew (Murder In the Front Row, Super7 Toys), Steffan Chirazi (So What magazine, The Metallica podcast), and so many more. Watch a short video clip of Jason Newsted paying tribute to Cliff!

CONCERT REVIEW: Death Angel – Exploding Zombies – Die-Sect Live at The Machine Shop
The unexpecting town of Flint is home to one the nation’s most celebrated independent music venues. The Machine Shop is a nationally acclaimed medium-sized concert hall that has been hosting, supporting, and celebrating bands for over twenty years. They accommodate a variety of acts and tend to favor heavier genres. This diamond in the rough was the perfect spot for Thrash Metal legends Death Angel to put on a headlining show. The boys from the Bay Area brought their magic to Michigan on one of their off days from the Klash of the Titans run. Kreator and Sepultura teamed up for a thrash-filled tour with Death Angel and Spiritworld as special guests. The hard-working quintet sprinkled in a few headlining gigs during the month-long tour and The Shop was lucky enough to snag one of them. Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Overkill – Scorched
Seems like we’re going to have to score another one for the bad guys. And by bad guys, I am referring to some of Thrash Metal’s pioneers who refuse to acknowledge the passage of time and are still melting amp heads like it was 1986.

ALBUM REVIEW: Rhythm of Fear – Fatal Horizons
It’s been five years since Rhythm of Fear released their last album, Maze of Confusion. The crossover thrash band is back with more pummeling riffs and plenty of attitude with Fatal Horizons (MNRK Heavy) Just like any good thrash band, Rhythm of Fear targets the government, aliens and the occult in their sonic assault.
ALBUM REVIEW: Blind Illusion – Wrath Of The Gods
Part of San Francisco’s famous Bay Area thrash scene, Blind Illusion may have only produced one full-length studio album during their initial eleven-year existence but that record, The Sane Asylum (Combat Records) still remains an undisputed classic of its time. Not only famous for adding more technicality, diversity, and flavour to a scene that ran predominantly on speed and aggression, Blind Illusion also ended up being responsible for the creation of alternative funk metal act Primus, the band at the time featuring former Possessed guitarist Larry LaLonde and batshit bass wizard Les Claypool.
