I didn’t want to post about this, and these guys only seem to make good on like 25% of their threats, but they forced my hand. The Westboro Baptist Church have announced that they will be protesting Jeff Hanneman’s Memorial Celebration on Thursday, May 23, 2013. I am not asking anybody to do anything, only because I am not sure how the boss men would feel about it, but I will not shed any tears if these guys end up in traction.

OMNIUM GATHERUM have just released their brand new single “Blade Reflections”. It is now available on all streaming and download platforms and will also be featured on a limited Edition Omnium Gatherum / Skalmöld split 7-inch, which will be available on the upcoming "Arctic Circle Alliance” European Tour (see below for all dates).

Singer Jukka Pelkonen comments, "In the light of recent events we wanted to voice our opinion about the tragedy of suicide. This is a subject that may concern anyone at some point. ʻBlade Reflectionsʼ is a statement against suicide and an encouragement to all of those who dwell in the depths of self-annihilation. Having been there myself too, I know how devastating it can be. There is nothing more precious than this life itself and it is worth seeing through. Though, we do not condemn those who choose to go, rather we want to stand by with all the rest, all of us, who are staying."

I would love to see them try cause Kerry King and Zack Wilde I’m sure would have something to say to them. And the legions of Slayer fans would have something to show them.

These fools are at it again?
I hope the fans and others in attendance don’t lash out, and that the funeral can proceed in peace. At Dio’s funeral, didn’t a bunch of counterprotesters show up and run their motorcycles all day to drown them out?
