Essential Home Reaper Kitchen Cloth Set

Kitchen decorations. Until recently, it seems Metalheads were only left to sew a bunch of patches on aprons, oven mits, and chef hats. These days, all we have to do is wait patiently for the Halloween season to show up, go to one of the "big box" stores (today's parcels were located in Kmart), walk the seasonal section, and before you know it, instant decorations for a Metlaheads place of cooking.

Today we add some armaments to a place that burns, maims, cuts, shreds, mince, things that were once alive (without having to go to jail, unless you mean it).

Introducing Essential Home Reaper Kitchen Cloth Set.

Oktoberfest Triple Threat - Godfather's Pizza, Beck's and Spoetzl Shiner

October. A month that was meant for Metalheads. From the beginning of the death of bright and sunny summer, to the holiday we do best, to a kickass videogame that was launched this month (and even the day was perfect for the occasion), . While the aforementioned is all the credentials October has for being a Metal month, there is one holiday that pushes its credentials over-the-top, and it's Oktoberfest.

This is the month the southern part of Germany (as well as many other parts of the world willing to participate) celebrates its most infamous holiday, and being the most Metal country in the world, it makes perfect sense for Metalheads to celebrate this month with the same kind of passion (its called drinking plenty of beers, something we are good at).

Today's post focuses on 3 tributes this month and holiday can only offer, The Oktoberfest Triple Threat, courtesy of Godfather's Pizza, Beck's and Spoetzl Brewery.

This started during one fateful visit to my local Hess Express (a local gas station with a convenience store and some fast food restaurants within its confines. One of the restaurants is the aforementioned Godfather's Pizza, and its unique offering to the world, its Oktoberfest Pizza. The sign below is the beginning of an "Avengers" like epic saga.

Reels of Steel: MAЛЪK-ГOЛЯM (LITTLE-BIG)


It's been some time since the last (and very first) Reels of Steel, and while this is due to the many movies related to Metal out there for me to go view and filter, today one such movie has broken through the obstacle course of Metalocity.

Unlike the first Reels of Steel, this one is going to provide just a tidbit of details as the story deserves a level of mystery I feel is too special to spoil for first time viewers.

Reels of Steel is proud to review MAЛЪK-ГOЛЯM (LITTLE-BIG).

Coup de Grisou Beer (Metal Trek)

Taken from the 2013 Montréal Take Over, Day 5

From the Brasseurs R.J. is Coup de Grisou Beer. Don't let the name and label art fool you, it's Metal credentials are as follows; the translation of the name means Firedamp, a flammable gas found in coal mines, and with mines being as dark as they are, and old school lamps coming in to light the way, you got an explosion that can make the stages of a Metal bands pyro theatrics (Metal credentials "check and mate".). It is a Belgian-style Ale, which means it is a guaranteed bet to be a winner. Reminds a great deal about my first Belgian (style) beer, Blue Moon, but instead of orange I got a mix-mash of fruits, and being like Blue Moon, it was cloudy.
