Recently, Metal Blade Records announced a website dedicated solely to spreading the word of Heavy Metal to the masses, which they called Metal Blade TV. It is a place for metalheads to go and see video interviews and segments from some of their favorite Metal Blade artists in addition to other notable metal musicians and bands.
The event, taking place from April 16-18 in Indio, California, will see the likes of a variety of artists; from East Coast rapper Jay-Z, to British alternative rock band Muse, to alternative/electronica animated group Gorillaz, as well as countless other great artists.
