Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but there are lots of metalheads that aren’t thrilled about this Pantera tribute that’s been making the rounds.

Holy hell, it’s the end of March. I wonder what Nikki Sixx and Carmine Appice think of this… Gel Only Constant (Convulse) New Jersey punks Gel return in an explosion of energy and breakdowns on their first proper long-player, Only Constant.

One of metal’s more technically proficient drummers will once again get some face time on national television, as Mastodon’s Brann Dailor is expected to get behind the kit for the 8G Band on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
