FAREWELL DIMEBAG
The metal nation mourns this week following the tragic murder of legendary

family and with the families of the other victims during this difficult
time.

CARCASS
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewcarcass.html
Carcass will surely go down in history as one of death metal's greatest
acts, not to mention one of the innovators of the genre. Six studio albums
showcased an immense progression from unadulterated noise into a more
rock-driven terrain. Their demise brought about such rock-fueled acts like
Firebird and Blackstar. Nevertheless, the band inspired and can be held
responsible for numerous offshoots such as Exhumed, Impaled and countless
others. Metal Update got the chance to talk to drummer Ken Owen about his
tragic brain hemorrhage from 5 years back, as well as afterthoughts on the
band's career and their new greatest hits release, 'Choice Cuts.'
