Historical Day in Channel 13

Good day Everybody,

Today is a historical day for Channel 13 as we have broken old barriers and pushed the boundary of limitation to new heights that will eventually be demolished.

We have finally reviewed a beer from as very cold place (surprisingly, not from Scandinavia) called Canada. Congratulations Unibroue for spearheading the Canadian booze assault \m/

For the first time in Channel 13's history, we have finally interviewed the first male in our chronicled tall tales of getting to know people, and he is Emanuel, the creator of EMP's Heavy Metal Maniacs \m/

And for the classic 1-2 combo that will leave a Street Fighter in his/her face, we are syndicating Heavy Metal Maniacs, a cartoon that has a lethal concentration of Metal in a package considered small.

And for those who wish to read this blog in their native language, we now have a translator (located on the left with the rest of the junk) for your reading ease.

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: Emanuel of EMP's Heavy Metal Maniacs

Cartoons. Before were just limited to whatever "seemed/felt" Metal (and if any of you say Inhumanoids was not Metal, you got a D'Composed sized problem coming your way. Honorable mention also goes out to Heavy Metal the Movie, the ultimate "being Metal with no intention" work of animation.). In recent years cartoons have been catering to our societies "funny bone", thanks in part to all those kids who grew up in the 80's having the opportunity to create cartoons based on Metal and not having the limitations of the previous decade impede our societies growth.

While there are many cartoon about Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, today we focus our attention on a brand new carton that carries the Banner of the Iron-Laced Stencil and with the hell-infused ink animating \m/ HEAVINESS \m/.

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death presents Emanuel, the Architect of EMP's Heavy Metal Maniacs.

Unibroue Maudite Amber-Red Ale

In honor of my upcoming trip to Montréal, I have located a beer that is representative of its Province, Quebec (it is originally from Chambly, talk about being a rep by proxy). While I am sure there are plenty of other beers in Canada that can hold the fort of \m/ heaviness \m/, this one has the distinguished honor of being the first beer to grace the halls of Channel 13 from its respected country.

Introducing Unibroue Maudite Amber-Red Ale.

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: Tanza of Speed Clothes

Fashion. A word Metalheads know without realizing. Confused? It's pretty simple. When we dress ourselves, we aren't taking the advice from the writers of GQ/Vogue/Cosmopolitan magazine is listing. Instead, and depending which Subgenre of Metal we listen/adhere to/feeling at the moment of selection in our closet/drawers/bed/floor/wherever-our-clothing-is-placed/etc, once we put our gear of war on, instant fashion statement. Think about it, from the Thrashers with the White Hi-Top sneakers, semi tight jeans with vague-Thrash-Band-from-the-80's-that-only-released-one-demo shirt, to the Black Metallers who's only colors are predominantly black (primarily on the shirt, minorly on the face) and white (minorly on the shirt, primarily on the face) with spikes that can give one of the stages from Mortal Kombat the texture of green on its face, we can literally whip out a fashion statement faster than a supermodel from the aforementioned busting a heel and making the headlines of TMZ.

While our sense of fashion will always make the impact that only our music can rival and triumph (our fashion sense was born out of the music, you know, mother brings kid into the world, mother has right to exit kid out of the world. Hmmmm, this would make good Metal lyrics, but bad advice upon execution, especially from me), and today we look at an individual who has taken our fashion to Volume "666" and dealt a deeper impact in the fabrics of statements.

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death presents Tanza of Speed Clothes and the band Demona.

Crystal Head Vodka & Shooter

As promised from some time ago, I have finally managed to get around this beast of a beverage. As crazy as it sounds, waiting this long to finally post about this vodka had a unintentionally but very good side effect. More on this later.

Vodka, as said twice already before in the halls of Channel 13, is a beverage that has left a HEAVY mark in the world of Heavy Metal. Today we look at a Vodka that while never targeted the Legions of Iron Metalocity, its final result will captivate our attention for years to come (provided it doesn't go out of business). From Canada, I introduce you to Crystal Head Vodka.

Nemesis Iron Cross Studded Watch

Father time. A known and unknown being. What makes it known is that we know we only have a limited amount of "time" before something happens. Usually this is a deadline for a work/school project, or when it's time to go to a Metal show, or when its time to put down the bottle and doze off on the bar counter. As for the unknown, well, this involves a number temporal mechanics, a car that reached its peak in a fitting decade, and Christopher Lloyd playing his best known film character.

While Metalheads are able to understand time in multiple capacities, today we are focusing on the standard understanding of past, present and future, and it helps if we had a tool to keep track of this beast from the physical quantities of System of Units.

Channel 13 & Metal Trek Hiatus Update

Greetings from the slumber of the Iron-Coated Spiked Bed of Hibernation.

Just to let everyone know the "extended" hiatus has not gone unnoticed. A bit of an explanation is in order:

- I have been looking for my next motorcycle and shopping for a bike in my neck of the woods is a HUGE pain in the ass.
-  I have been planning for my next trip, Montréal, Quebec, Canada, for the Wings of Metal Metal Market event and to check the local Metal/Touristy Attractions (and to point out the obvious, this trip will be eatured on Metal Trek).
- I have been on a much needed "down time" as doing the blogging/working/school/traveling juggling act drained me and I needed some time to "eat shit" and do nothing.

What's next for Channel 13 are the goods I have accumulated while gone from blogging can finally be unleashed with the (un)necessary arguments about why they are Metal.

As for Metal Trek, The aforementioned trip to Montréal is definitely getting covered and my next Euro Trip for 2014 will end a series of travels to a major fest.

Again, thanks for the patience and understanding \m/
