This week’s Cult Heroes looks at the rather up-and-down career of southern confederate rockers Doc Holliday. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, a whole crop of American southern rock bands – such as The Allman Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet and .38 Special – were regularly breaking into the US Top 30 album charts and selling millions of records. So where do the Docs fit in? Oh yeah… and you can check out all the previous Cult Heroes here. (more…)

This week, we have symphonic goth metal from The Murder Of My Sweet, classic old-school metal from Armored Saint, the doom of Saint Vitus, and the straightforward rawk of Keel. Oh, and Rob Zombie being… well, being Rob Zombie! (more…)

Armored Saint have a title for their new album. (more…)
