So you’ve watched the movies This Is Spinal Tap and Monty Python and the Holy Grail a hundred times each and now you desire another brilliant opus to tickle your cranial sponge in a similar fashion. Well, look no further, fellow Berzerkers! Golden god ZAKK WYLDE and his brother-in-Metal Eric Hendrikx are about to take you on a Black Label Crusade of World Tour Domination, sharing never-before-told stories of backstage lunacy and Metal-maniacal anecdotes for the aspiring Berzerker like you.

Why would you need to buy this book about a modern-day Viking who strums his own fiddle for a living? You’d better ask yourself one simple question: Would you rather have us come beat the money out of you, or do you want to give it up the easy and painless way?

As a twenty-five-year veteran of the Ozzy Osbourne band and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, ZAKK WYLDE has managed not only to stay alive against all odds but has also survived numerous attacks on his life by members of his own band, his wife, his children, his manager and even his dogs. Among deranged tales of onstage indecent exposure and booze-fueled destruction, Wylde continues your Metal awakening with the sacred founding myths—explaining, for instance, how the forging of Metal in Valhalla begot the Black Label Empire—and lays out the battle-tested Rules of the Road.

For the young Metal Loki, Wylde offers exclusive tips on how not to make it in the business, insights about planning your band’s tour and outfitting the Black Vatican recording studio, plus more useful advice on how to set up a shooting range on a tour bus and how to survive a mosh pit. ‘Bringing Metal to the Children’ will make you laugh, weep, vomit—maybe even soil yourself—and if you aspire to new heights of Metal mayhem, get on the bus and get ready for the Metal ride of your life.

The book is out in April of this year and if you click here you can pre-order your copy from Amazon.

Paul Harries is Britain’s pre-eminent photographer of rock bands who play their music at volume! Over the course of more than two decades, if a group has emerged that are loud and proud of it, chances are its members have stood in the frame of this man’s lens. Paul has amassed a portfolio that amounts to nothing less than a rock fan’s dream. From an apprenticeship served in the photo pit at London’s legendary Marquee Club, he has risen to occupy the position of leading lensman for Kerrang! magazine, the world’s best-selling music weekly. Paul has closed his shutter on such groups as Nirvana, Muse, Green Day, Metallica, AC/DC, Biffy Clyro, Ozzy Osbourne, Red Hot Chili Peppers and, of course, the mighty SLIPKNOT.

In celebration of Paul’s work with SLIPKNOT for over 13 years ~ we are pleased to announce that an exhibition of his incredible photographs of the band will take place at Manchester Photographic Gallery from Friday 13th April – Wednesday 2nd May. This exhibition was first held at The Strand Gallery, London in 2011 and was both a critical and commercial success.

This is the perfect opportunity to display Paul Harries’ fascinating work that has taken him all over the world. This includes SLIPKNOT’s hometown of Des Moines, Iowa and as far away as Australia. Over sixty photographs will be on display, including behind the scenes and previously unseen images, only possible due to the trust and respect SLIPKNOT has for Paul, allowing him exclusive access.

The private view for SLIPKNOT ~ A Photographic Exhibition by Paul Harries will be on Thursday 12th April 6.30-9pm in our fantastic new location, 45 Dale Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, which is adjacent to our other Photographic Gallery on Tariff Street. The exhibition has been kindly sponsored by Hahnemuhle ~ the digital fine art paper.

“Slipknot is not always the easiest band to capture in the true essence of photography and also not very easy to work with in the photo environment. Paul Harries has always been able to capture the band in its true form and has also been able to put up with all our bullshit that surrounds us night and day. Look at ‘the Knot’ as seen through the eyes of a true photographer, artist and friend.”

36 CRAZYFISTS have posted a statement on their Facebook page for fans – we’ll leave it up to them to pas son their news and direct you to the note below:

To our 36CF Family,

After much thought and discussion in the 36CF camp we have decided to break the silence and address some of the concerns that have been posted on our page.

Firstly, Our brother Thomas Noonan has decided to step away from the band. I have played music with T for over 20 yrs. He is one of my best friends so he will be sorely missed but we understand as we get older {and I mean OLDER}, life takes on new meanings. So with his decision, we wish him a tremendous amount of success in his newest adventures.

As for 36CF, we are currently working on our new album and at this point we have no release date for you guys. I have to be honest, last year was very difficult for my family as I lost my mother to cancer. From that dark period of my life, we as a band decided after 19 years of 36CF, we needed a break from the road.

As the years have rolled by, one thing I have learned throughout this band’s career is that we have found ways to find new life and overcome tragedies to create something we are truly proud of. So with all of this, we are grateful and eternally indebted to all of our people for their undying loyalty and patience. We can’t wait to get this record finished up and return to the road to connect once again.

With all our love and respect,

36CF
