White Noise: News on Marilyn Manson, Iron Maiden, Danzig, Them Crooked Vultures and More

We've been rocking the new Nile this week, and it's so fast and so brutal, so evil. You're going to love it. And you're also going to love our weekly podcasts. Last week, we had the dudes from Metalsucks in the studio and Atreyu on the horn. You can to check it out, if only to hear Atreyu say "Lars Ulrich can suck my balls." We're still in the planning stages for our next podcast, but trust us, we'll have an awesome guest on hand and we'll be talking about all the week's metal releases and the latest headlines. Heck, we may even discuss some of these stories.
