Now crack open the booze, shred open those presents, and bang your fucking heads!

Stay Brutal,

San Diego metal act AS I LAY DYING has announced that they will be headlining a US tour starting mid-February, according to their website.  The band will dragging along Winds of Plague and After The Burial, starting off the tour in Ft. Collins, CO, and zig-zagging across the country to end in Sacramento, CA in mid-March.  Full tour dates can be found at www.asilaydying.com

In other news, you may have noticed that once again, we've gone kinda quiet.  Both Neil and Dom are unemployed, which theoretically could mean that we have tons of time to put together a full episode, but with the holidays approaching, don't get your hopes up too much.  We'll try to provide you with another halfsode of two before the end of the year, time permitting.

If you're on Facebook, make sure you add our page to your favorites, and to suggest it to your friends.  We update the Facebook page frequently with news snippets, funny videos, and other oddities.

Also, follow both the podcast and Dominus Maximus on Twitter, for your maximum daily dose of metal.

 

Stay Brutal,

Dominus Maximus

So, when people ask us, "What kind of podcast do you do?", we generally break into laughter.  But recently, after some people have oh-so-incorrectly described our podcast, we figured it'd do to keep you minions in line and remind you what we do.

Power Forge Radio is dedicated to bringing you brutal and righteous music.  What does that mean?  Well, first let's clear up something about being "brutal and righteous", hereafter refered to in this post as "B&R".  Being B&R does not mean we're being preachy and Christian.  In fact, neither of us is "Christian", and could probably just be labeled as "spiritual" if you deemed it necessary.  When we talk about B&R, we're talking about music that wants to rip your face off and rape your eardrums, and makes you want to dance around or throw random punches or makes you feel like you, the listener, is an ancient warrior preparing for battle against the hordes.  What horde?  Doesn't matter, there's a horde outside your city, and you're a righteous and awesome dude, and also a B&R dude, so you're gonna go crush some skulls.  That's the kind of music we're all about.  We like songs about the Old Ways, of past gods, of killing and maiming and drinking and puking and burning and pillaging.

TL;DR:  Sorry Mr. Jackson Glassier, but WE ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN/CHRISTIAN-INFLUENCED PODCAST. Never have been, never will.  And it's our podcast, which means we'll fucking swear and fucking curse, and fucking make jokes about raping our good friend Princess Buttercup McRapemuffin.  Why?  Because we fucking can.  The podcast is labeled "Explicit" for a fucking reason: this is how we talk, so live with it.  This is America, and more importantly, the Internet.  We're not the worse thing out there.  We also deal with a genre of music that is B&R, and doesn't hold back at all; why should we hold back?  We're just here for the beer and the music.

So if any of you minions take offense and stop listening, that's cool.  We'll meet you on the battlefield after Ragnarok.
