New Year’s Music Resolutions For 2013: Part 12

new year's music resolutions

Well my Metal legions we have finally reached the last chapter of our “New Year’s Music Resolutions for 2013” and holy mackeral this was a doozy when compared to last year’s series. The last few resolution quotes that we have are below, but first I want to thank everyone who participated in the series and those media resources that reached out to their talent pool to get us some really awesome stuff. You all made a very fun project all the more exciting. Now let’s get to the final resolutions and onto our new year’s blogging and reporting.

1. Noah Martin (Arsis): This year, I firstly hope to finally refinish my ESP with transparent neon green. My practice regiment will include, but not be limited to, an additional two hours, devoted wholly to slide vibrato and hair windmills. Arsis will make “Unwelcome” a critically-acclaimed and successful album through proper touring and positive reception from the press. Happy New Year’s!

2. Chris Catero (Razer): My New Year’s Music Resolution is to become something more than a caveman on my home ProTools rig!

3. Fred LeClercq (Dragonforce): “New Year’s Music Resolution is workin on my different projects as well as writing songs for a new Dragonforce album. The only challenge is to know which riff suits what band. But still its fun. That. And also try to drink less while on tour thats another challenge, haha”

PiercingMetal Meets The Heavy Metal Mayhem Show!!! Again :)

Followers of the website adventures and happenings that get broadcast via the official blog might recall that it was about a year ago when I was asked to participate in one of the episodes of “The Heavy Metal Mayhem Show”.  The program that airs on the Blog Talk Radio site and is hosted by Mike “The Big Cheese” Catricola and focuses primarily on the classic era of the genre while also making room for today’s up and coming talent.    After forming a Metal kinship with Mike based on our mutual love for the Metal scene and the amazing music that it offers the fans we decided to join forces and work together a little more regularly and I am now proud and honored to inform my kind supporters that I am the official “Metal Man On The Street” for the Mayhem show.

PiercingMetal Ken meets The Heavy Metal Mayhem Show

Although it is not a new service by any stretch of the imagination, it is relatively new to me and I am speaking about Blog Talk Radio.  I had heard it discussed a few times over the past year but never really deeply investigated into how I could use it for what we do over on PiercingMetal.com, but I admit that there is some level of interest in my mind to using it.   Blog Talk Radio is a pretty descriptive title and allows you to follow talk shows that you have interest in, or even push your own personal envelope a little further by hosting your own show for all the Internet to enjoy.  It’s been an active Internet presence since 2006 and with that being said, I recently learned about a Heavy Metal show being hosted by an old friend from the NYC Metal scene Tommy Falanga and his buddy Mike Catricola and they call it “The Heavy Metal Mayhem Show”.
