ssSHhh Releases New Single
Sami Hinkka (Ensiferum / Metal De Facto) releases a new single on 29.10.2021 with his one man band. This time, the source of inspiration was a nightclub called "Tech Noir" in one of his all time favourite movies "The Terminator."
"I watched The Terminator some time ago and the name of the venue just resonated. I thought that I have to make a song about the perfect place for this song to be played! Instead of writing the song about The Terminator itself or Sarah Connor’s desperate escape from it, I chose a different kind of angle: How care-free people are dancing and partying without realising that all humanity’s fates are hanging by a thread. So remember to live to the fullest, because you never know when they will activate Skynet…"
The song can be heard or bought here.

Legendary Metal Writer Malcolm Dome Passes Away
British writer and journalist Malcolm Dome, who some credit with coining the term thrash metal, has passed away at the age of sixty six. The news was broken by his colleagues at TotalRock.
Dome wrote numerous books, including biographies of Metallica, Motley Crue, AC/DC and Van Halen and had previously written for such publications as Kerrang! (where his review of Anthrax's "Fistful Of Metal" used the term "thrash metal" for what is believed to be the first time,) Classic Rock, Metal Hammer and Record Mirror. He also co-founded TotalRock, Britain's first rock radio station, along with other British rock and metal legend Tommy Vance. Dome also appeared in numerous documentaries and programmes, documenting albums from everyone from Queen to Napalm Death, as well as genre documentaries and shows.
His work and his passion will be sorely missed by all familiar with him.
