OK, thanks Loudwire. You got me! I really thought there was a chance the members of Slayer and Anthrax would tour together given the situations in the band. So the genius who thought that one up, congrats! I even emailed Slayer’s manager, who simply wrote back, “You know what today’s date is?” Yeah, April Fool’s on ME! LOL I need to lighten up! LOL……Pulse Content reports Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda stars in a new video created by the band’s Music For Relief charitable organization, in which he travels to Haiti and surveys the work that is being done with Music For Relief’s help. Shinoda traveled to the island nation in January to mark the three-year anniversary of the deadly Port-au-Prince earthquake, and it’s clear from the footage that the city and country are not yet back on their feet. Watch the poignant video here. www,musicforrelief.org ….All That Remains will release a limited edition vinyl version of its album The Fall Of Ideals to commemorate Record Store Day.

Unlike his brother, who specializes in industrial-tinged metal, Ben is a singer/songwriter whose more melodic musical style incorporates the piano he’s been playing since the age of 13. Ben performs as a solo artist in Israel, where he currently lives. (Blabbermouth)…Speaking of David, I was surprised to hear he assisted Dave Mustaine on some material for Megadeth’s new album. Super Collider. I heard a couple of tracks off it yesterday and it was really good. Nice to see Draiman is really putting his producer hat on. Who knows who he might be working with next!…..“Resilience”, the fifth studio album from Texas heavy rockers Drowning Pool, is available for streaming in its entirety at AOL Music.
