Metal Tome Updates

Metal Tome Updates

Ongoing Website Maintenance - 03/18/2010

We are currently applying many updates to Metal Tome. So far everything seems to be working properly now, though we are still fine tuning the following areas:

Thanks for your patience!


Suricata is a mostly self-taught scholar. In her endless efforts to discover and develop that which matters, she has delved into the most obscure depths of human and not so human knowledge.
Suricata - Mind Matters
Ever since Suricata discovered the Metal world, she’s been aware that it goes far beyond simply listening to or playing a particular music genre. It is also a philosophy, a lifestyle and a quality of the soul.

Here, this hermit will theorize about the features of the Metal mindset, what is symbolizes and what it represents as a movement and archetype.

Suricata currently lives in a small village in the tropics, after having explored a large part of the urban world, of which she refuses to take part.




Iron, metal, the pen and the sword.

philosopher_of_metalThe Philosopher of Metal lives in the same culture-less and honor-less world as any other metal lover. For him metal is like a religion in which he is a novice - no more qualified than any person to speak his mind on such an art. His favorite pastimes include the rediscovering of ancient ways - particularly those of honing the body and the ceremonious hurling of the dishonorable from high cliffs into the waters of the Skagerrak - both of which need to be done more often these days. He desires to inflict pain and harsh lessons upon the feebleminded and to bolster his brothers and sisters of metal with the strength to fight on for all eternity against the tyranny of human weakness.

Ten Greatest Album Covers in Roadrunner History: #7

#7 Sepultura – Chaos A.D.

This 1993 release from Brazilian metallers Sepultura sonically sees the band transcend from their thrashing death metal aesthetic into a more eclectic output, showcasing groove-oriented paces, incorporating moody riffs, industrial soundscapes and even introducing hardcore punk elements throughout the record. With protest songs like “Refuse/ Resist” and the Jello Biafra-penned “Biotech is Godzilla” spouting conspiracy theories, the politically-charged lyrics aided in Chaos A.D. becoming a breakthrough album for the band worldwide.

And as for the visual representation? We’ll let  Sepultura founder and former frontman Max Cavalera describe it’s conception: “Chaos AD was commissioned through Michael Whelan that we already used on two albums before: Beneath the Remains and Arise, but Beneath the Remains and Arise were already existing paintings, and Chaos AD was a brand new painting that was commissioned by us to Michael Whelan to create based on the name of the album. We gave it to him, and he came up with the body bag with the money upside down and all the electronic stuff going through the body bag and I think it was really cool.”

Continues Cavalera, “There’s a lot of detail in Michael Whelan’s artwork. There’s a lot of little things for people to look at -- on the machinery you can see little hands and people’s faces and stuff like that. I was really proud because I really like Michael Whelan, I think he’s one of the best artists. And I’m really proud that I got to work with him on Chaos and gave him ideas. He delivered, you know, he did a great album cover that a lot of people love. “

As for it being our #7 album cover, Senior VP of A&R Monte Conner explains the power of the cover in the video below.

Watch the explosive video for the Sepultura classic "Refuse/Resist" and go HERE to get the album.

"[We have] been supporting HIM in Europe and the shows have been amazing. We are very excited about this tour making its way to the U.S. There is a special magic about this tour. It's one no one should miss."

Take their advice and get your tickets NOW as these shows are selling out fast!

Dommin's debut album Love is Gone is in stores now. Get your copy RIGHT HERE and watch the video for lead single "My Heart, Your Hands" below.
