Reign in Blonde [noun; plural] - Two tall, blonde chicks who bring the metal. We're not know-it-alls, and we don't report the news. This is our blog where we simply discuss what's on our brutal minds. Bon Appetit.
Halloween is here! Seeing that my favorite day of the year is also my birthday, I’ve usually done fairly well with having a good, creative costume. But… this year not so much. With being so busy with work and well, life, dressing up for Halloween hasn’t been the top of my priority list. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t come up with a couple of good ideas. And since I’m not gonna cash in on those idears myself, I might as well pass em on to those of you that don’t have a clue what to be tonight either…
Behemoth just released their much talked about and much anticipated video for “Alas The Lord is Upon Me” and well… I’m a little speechless. I mean, it’s REALLY well done from a visual point of view and the entire thing can just be described as intense. Let’s just say it’s not for the easily scared, queasy, or even partially religious kind.
It’s really unfortunate that Nergal just announced his illness at the same time (and we at RiB, like most everyone else, wish him a speedy recovery and send our loooove), but I just can’t believe what I have seen her. I have a bit of a interest in religion and the imagery in this video opens a wide door for interpretation, questions, and awe. It’s one of those things that leaves you saying “WHAT THE FUCK did I just watch?!” and “THAT’S FUCKING METAL” at the same time.
Catholic school sure never warned me about stuff like this, THAT’S for DAMN sure. Watch and discuss!
Ever since Julia informed me that Nergal of Behemoth was dating some cheesy Polish pop star named Doda, I’ve taken a small interest in her. Jezebel just posted some pictures from last week’s MTV Europe Music Awards and you’ll never guess who was there…..or what she was wearing:
Perhaps the title of “The Polish Britney Spears” isn’t quite as on point as “The Polish Lady Gaga.” Here she is, “unmasked” …..
Just when I thought Julia and I were the most boy-crazy-metal-dude-lovin’ chicks on the internet, I came across another blog called Dillinger’s Run which has a feature titled “Extreme Metal Hunks.” Why am I bringing this to your attention? Well, this blog just so happens to be written by a dude, an allegedly heterosexual dude who has let his boy crushes go as far as even planning dream dates with these guys. Check out some of these excerpts:
Troy Sanders (Mastodon) -“…the two of you journey together discussing things such as anthropology and the latest Bruce Willis film, Surrogates - which you both agree did the job it set out to do and was enjoyable despite any complaints about the trailer giving away most of the film’s plot.”
Chris Barnes (Cannibal Corpse) - “He offers you weed…..Sure, you’re nervous at first but it all comes naturally. As you breath deeply you a great “power” fills you and the thought hits your head: this is a the dankest dope God could make.”
Nergal (Behemoth) - “He makes polite conversation about about the pricing of leathers now a days, you laugh at the ratio of his witty remarks against his broken english.”
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantomas, etc.) -“He tells you to meet him in the park - more like commands you to do so - and so you do……Yeah. You will get to fuck this guy later tonight.”
But of course, I only tease this guy because I think he is absolutely hilarious. Keep up the good work, dude. If you’re reading this, feel free to email me. Perhaps you could help plan a date for my girl crush and I.
