Kreator Weighs-In on Conflict in Ukraine
While plenty of musicians have weighed in on the War between the Ukraine and Russia, Kreator’s Millie Petrozza took to Instagram to give their opinion on the matter.
“We were about to play a tour for our fans in both Ukraine and Russia next month. And now? Nothing but pain, death, fear and suffering on both sides,” said Petrozza. “Kreator stands for peace, music and a worldwide unity of likeminded individuals, regardless of cultural, religious or material background. Call me a naive hippie or find a new favorite band.”The First Album Burton C. Bell Ever Bought
Ex-Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell said on YouTube that the first metal record he ever bought was Iron Maiden’s ‘The Number of the Beast’, saying that when he first heard it in the ninth-grade it blew his mind.

A Dad’s Negative Review Gets a Little Heavy
A father in California decided to go a step further than leaving a bad online review when his son had a negative experience at a local dentist.

Game designer Jason Ward took to Kickstarter with his latest project: a tabletop RPG based on the 1989 album ‘The Real Thing’ by Faith No More and found himself fully funded in 12 hours.
As of this writing, the Kickstarter is 600-percent funded, which is a good sign for the plans Ward has to make the game a 5-book series, with each one based off of one of the Mike Patton fronted FNM albums.
