Oh ya, SLAYER DAY! \m/

PS... Dont forget to wear your Slayer shirts on June 6th, SLAYER DAY!
Also it is mandatory for all metalheads to scream "SLAAAAYYYERR!", at least once at someone unsuspecting, try to scare them shitless.

Jesse Valstar is genius.

International Metalocalypse Quote Status Update Day

Hey all you regular jackoffs,

Dethklok have ordered a grand exultation of their works and sayings in the form of a quote day. The rules are so simple even a Swedish guitarist that can't figure out how to cook coffee could do it.

1. Every time you update your status on 6/6/10, you use a quote from Metalocalypse.

Yeah, see? Only one friggin' step!

So order 100 beers exactly and join in the METALOCALYPSE QUOTE DAY or NO BANANA SHTICKERS FOR YOU!

Blood Drunk, Maelstrom, Derelict - May 29th

This Saturday night (29th) at the Pogue Mahonie in Kamloops I do so believe, BC's own Blood Drunk and Maelstrom will be hitting the scene with Derelict who is coming all the way from Montreal, Quebec to support their new album, 'Unspoken Words'.

"Since the release of the album, the band has stormed the Canadian metal scene with their destructive live shows as they've performed alongside The Agonist, the Plasmarifle, Threat Signal, and Ion Dissonance. Their brand of metallic brutality and schizophrenic musical changes has drawn comparisons to Strapping Young Lad and the legendary Death."

Come out and support these great bands for only $7 baby! Doors open at 8, show starts at 9.

GO FIST YOURSELF!

Ya you heard me!
And it can only mean one thing, Odinfist is hitting up the town of Armstrong once again (well they practically own the place don't they?).

This Friday (yes, the 28th of May) at the Branding Iron, and they're bringing some brutal friends of theirs, Enslaved By Humans!

Show starts at 8:30, admission is only 5 clams at the door. No, not literally clams tardo!

There will also be BRAND SPANKING NEW shirts for sale going for $15, on top of drink specials, and it's all that you mofucks can hear a brand new song too!

Damn, someone should pick me up a shirt while their at it, and a beer too pl0x.
After this its off to the big Vancity, then they're heading over to our neighbors to entertain those flatlanders -erm- Albertans..

BE THERE PEOPLE! \m/

Twitter Twatter

Don't forget to follow my random spam about metal on twitter!

Trying to get organized and get some shit lined up for a clean restart of this blog, but with school and work it's going slow. Be patient all!

Keep it heavy, keep it metal BC! \m/

Calling All Vocal Talent!!

Dead Center is currently looking for a vocalist in the Armstrong/Enderby/Surrounding area!
Singing, or screaming, but preferably both!

It started off as a thrash metal band, but we are currently forming our own sound and heading in a different musical direction, most likely to incorporate many different styles of metal, including that of thrash, power, and speed metals.

Contact skate-fiend@hotmail.com, or drop us a line on the facebook fanpage for it (just search Dead Center).

SPREAD THE WORD; SPREAD THE METAL! \m/

Hmm..

I think that BC Metal should have a website with a band archive and everything. And a photographer, with an archive for that too.

And a metal venue in every city that matters... and a record company, with purely BC material, because I gotta say..

BRITISH COLUMBIA IS THE SHIT!


The future is bright?

Twitter Twitter Quack!

British Colmbian Metal is now on twitter. Whether or not I'll actually use it, who knows, but whatever.

Shit happens.

@BCMetal

Get ready for the start up of BC Metal again, although there might be a reform on the way!

A New Beginning

Well it's been awhile since I've stopped with BC Metal Blog, but after being told by many to start it up (including the infamous Jesse Valstar of Odinfist), I guess it's time to get the ball rolling again.

Perhaps I will bring in some help though and double team this shit.


Oh, and last night I joined empireavenue.com. It's pretty different, and surprisingly fun in it's own interesting way. Since I have limited invites, if you would like one than by all means give me a shout and I'll send one your way.


Please ignore the following:

I'll be updating again soon with some kickass BC metal! \m/

The Final Fist 2009

One of the Armstrong's local bands Odinfist is getting ready to play their final show of the year before settling down and finishing their next album, "We Are Gods".

So they're doing it with a bang to try and support their album.

The Final Fist 2009 will be held at House Odinfist, now here's the twist. It's going to be a fundraiser show to help Odinfist get some money for making their album...and they need gas money I suppose.

So bring your bottles! Odinfist has said that its perfectly acceptable to steal bottles from neighbors and relatives as a means of bringing as many bottles as you can. They will also be playing some songs from the new album that has yet to be shown to the public. Plus there's always the wicked after party!

Be there, November 28th, 8:35 PM @ House Odinfist. Need directions? Go send Odinfist or Valstar a message on facebook, because I have no idea where it is.

Keep it Metal BC! \m/

Do This Quick Survey!

I'm doing a project in Entrepreneurship 12 right now where I'm writing a business plan for a 'Custom Rock Shop'. Shirts and shit will be made like they would at a Bang On (only better), so it would be done by heat transfer.
The graphics and/or lettering will all be done custom though, drawn or painted up by a artist or team of artists employed by me.

Right now I'm doing research for it, and collecting info and demographics, all that fun shit.

So help me get an A by doing this quick survey I've come up with!

Custom Rock Shop Survey

Thanks everyone!
