Tarnished Iron: Dr. Tom ter Bogt

Science. A subject that Metalheads excel without limitations. Think about it for a minute. Our form of music is "Metal", and within its borders are many different forms of "Metal" that exist (like the Periodic Tables "Metallic" elements).

While we can scientifically discern about what is Metal and what is not "Metal", today we will look at a different discipline of science that also has it's fingerprints in our culture (or our fingerprints in its laboratories), Pediatrics (the medicine field of medical care for infants, children and adolescents).

Some days ago, a cultural psychologist decided to go against the element known as Ferrum (aka "Iron", aka what Metal music is made from) by publishing a study about Heavy Metal causing teenage delinquency.

Grill 'Em All Truck Crashes through Wall

As reported on Blabbermouth, the folks that brought the Grill 'Em All Food Truck has recently opened their first restaurant at the Renaissance Theater Plaza (1 East Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91801).

The concept of Grill 'Em All came about when 2 Metalheads, Ryan Harkins and Matthew Chernus, began in 2009 by offering gourmet burgers named after Heavy Metal bands (Exciter, Anvil, Kreator), Wrestlers (Samoa Joe) & Celebrities (Hannah Montana) while offering their meals in the portable confines of a chariot (aka, a Food Truck).

The duo also managed to win the Food Networks first ever "The Great Food Truck Race", thus procuring greatness (and $50,000) in the name of Metal \m/

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: Karla Renee and Her Behemoth Autographed Tattoos

Fandom. Something many Metalheads can relate to. As a society, we are drawn in by those who make the most crucial component of our culture happen, the music.

There are many different types of fans. The casual fan will consist of individuals who have a passing interest in a band and afterwards, move on to another band. The mid-level fan is someone who will buy a shirt or 2 and listen to said bands albums in semi-rotation.

Than you have the elite of the fandom squad, the hardcore, it's :::INSERT NAME OF BAND HERE::: or nothing. These are the ones who have dedicated a good chunk of their life (in many or every facet) to the band of their choice. Sometimes it can be investing a good chunk of money (like albums, schwag, concerts), time (waiting for hours after a concert for the band to come out to sign autographs and meet their fans), and sometimes beyond (like getting a tattoo to signify their loyalty, or sacrifice living beings to their chosen Metal God/Goddess, or burning a church in the name of their overlord behind the instrument.).

Today we look at one individual who decided to take the hardcore route in the may trails of Heavy Metal. During the 2012 Barge to Hell event, a very unsuspecting but awesome lady decided to get her arm autographed by the members of Behemoth, and took it a step further and had her autographed arm tattooed in the Bahamas, staking her claim in Metal History.

Poison Cocktail Shaker and the Screaming Blue Viking

The Cocktail Shaker. A crucial tool in the world of alcohol. It allows the mixing of beverages in a way a spoon or stirrer cannot accomplish. Like with any chemistry lab, the proper tools are needed to make the mixing of chemicals happen, and alcohol is no different. What happens when your run-of-the-mill cocktail shaker can't handle a \m/ HEAVY \m/ elixir? That's where the Poison Cocktail Shaker comes into the picture.

The elixir in question is the Screaming Blue Viking, a beverage fit for Metalheads and Metal Gods alike.

To present these items in todays post, I have decided to create a video since 2 items of massive greatness cannot be contained in a series of pics. Okay, you get 1 pic, but only due to the fact that it is the mandatory, obligatory, regulatory necessity of those who need a pic.

Death Metal is Spelled with an "F"

There comes a time when a tattoo job gets mucked up because the needle-jockey had a creators block stuck in his head. When everything is said and done, the block should be rammed in the head of the fouler instead of his pride.

Hype Skull Speaker

Let's be frank, speakers aren't manufactured with the Metalhead in mind since the idea is to sell as many to different types of people as possible, and while we have always had to settle for what everybody else was using, we are fortunate that Hype has been unleashing a number of speakers that cater to the Metal Hordes necessity to listen to our sacred audio with a dose of armor to reflect what is on the inside.

Today we look at what is quite possibly their most Metal offering, and the louder twin of the 2, the Skull Speaker.
