Much to the pointed chagrin of some of my friends and several members of my long-suffering family, I still loves me an embarrassing amount of some strenuously juvenile heavy metal. You're more than likely to encounter several posts dedicated to same here on Flaming Pablum. But for all my goat-throwin' fandom, I'm still largely behind the times in terms of what's cool, contemporary and currently crushing the craniums of today's metalheads. In that capacity, might I steer you to Gun Shy Assassin, the new blog by my friend and former colleague, Chris Harris. When I was toiling over at MTV News Online back in the dark days of 2006 & 2007, youthful Mr. Harris brought me up to speed on the newest & rulingest of the metal realm, from the cartoony barbarism of Watain through the feral explosiveness of Mastodon and all hirsute points in between. Chris is a font of metal in all its hoary permutations and his enthusiasm for his favorite subject is nothing short of infectious. Go check it out & tell'im I sent'cha. Rock.
