The Sludgelord was more excited for “May Day” than your

Artie Fufkin is interested. Google
him.

All you guys need is a Manowar tan and you’re
set!

Time to start submitted your music to small festivals for consideration.

Whatever band is opening up for Metallica during this
tour, well, you’re better than them!
It’s
May and only the hardcore are still wearing their battle vests. It also means that the rehearsal rooms are
warmer now and there are no more excuses for not practicing more often! Keep them chops up and send in those
demos! The Sludgelord
is a picky listener…and doesn’t care what you think of his opinions….
