'THE ASSISSINATION OF DIMEBAG DARRELL'
By Tom Sanford
The name alone is pretty self-explanatory but yeah.....This is an amazing painting depicting the tragic on-stage murder of metal legend 'Dimebag Darrell' in 2004 at the hands of 'headcase' Nathan Gale when performing with 'Damageplan'.
Nathan Gale was an ex marine and literally just a a fucking nutter! i mean this brere had it all, paranoid schizophrenia, night terrors, volatile behaviour, addictive personality AND he fucked with psychedelic drugs......COME ON!! add the fact he had delusions of visits from Pantera band members whom of which he believed could read his mind and were mentally mocking him. So we have an angry-unemployed-obsessive-ex-marine-25 year old-introvert with the American 'right to bear arms'..............doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out he's fucking weird!
he managed to sneak into the venue from a back entrance with allowed him to approach the band from backstage (blindside) and (as you can see from the video) b-lined straight for 'dime bag'. Gale was taken down by a single head-shot from officer James Niggermeyer.
List of the other people who were killed/injured during the incident:
Jeff "Mayhem" Thompson - the band's head of security was killed as he tried to stop Gale as he ran on-stage and shot darrell.
Erin Halk - an Alrosa Villa employee attempted to charge Gale when he ran out of bullets. However Gale was able to reload faster than anticipated, and killed Halk.
Nathan Bray - an audience member, attempted to perform CPR on Abbott and Thompson, but was shot and killed by Gale.
John 'Kate' Brooks - Damageplan's drum technician, was shot several times (once in the right hand, his right leg, and his right side) while attempting to get the gun away from Gale and was taken hostage, but ultimately survived.
Chris Paluska - Tour manager, was injured but also survived.
Pat Lachman - Damageplan singer, was also shot but the injuries were never identified.
Either way this painting is amazing!!!

Kiss Knitter
For some reason, knitting has become the fairest craft of them all over the last year. Metal heads and hype beasts are donning knitting needles in the battle of 'who can be the most unique and frankly a bit weird..and freak people out the most'. Knitting needles are no longer for grannies. I just hope this isn't going to be a fad....cos knitting really is amazing.

NARROWS PRE-ORDERS UP NOW!!!
Pre-order now: Narrows "New Distances" CD, T-Shirt (vinyl soon)
Pre-order now in the DW Estore.
CD in stores May 12th (vinyl shortly thereafter).
Spread out across both the United States and two continents, Narrows exists despite geographical inconveniences for the sole purpose of creating devastating noise. Though outside obligations will most likely relegate the live Narrows experience to a truly rare event, the shared need to exorcise their collective demons fuels the trans-global project. Dave Verellen (Botch, Roy), Rob Moran (Unbroken, Some Girls, Over My Dead Body), Ryan Frederiksen (These Arms Are Snakes, Nineironspitfire), Jodie Cox (Tropics, Rohame, Bullet Union), and Sam Stothers (Makeout Boys, Quarantine) are busy men with busy lives. The Narrows project is not meant to define and drive their individual lives. Rather, the band serves as a respite; a rare opportunity to escape; a vengeful howl from the basest corner of the psyche. In those rare moments when the five men find themselves in the same city, the quintet seizes the opportunity to combine their disparate talents to craft their unique brand of aural malice.
Soon, Narrows will offer up their first proper full length album titled "New Distances". Anchored by a minimalist punk framework and elaborated by squalls of angular guitar noise, the music is simultaneously beguiling and dissonant. Helmed by Verellen's signature roar, the resulting compositions owe as much to the early hardcore pioneers as to New York and London's post-punk founders. Terminally bleak, counter-intuitive to the standard rock paradigm, and at odds with everyone, Narrow's debut is an angry slab of nihilistic abandon.
