All Things Horror Made My Day
Fun is telling your coworkers that you have to head out to catch a screening of “Dead Hooker in a Trunk.” ♠ Continue reading…
HATERS GONNA HATE: Groupies
Go ahead and roll your eyes; if you’re not in a band, then you probably don’t like groupies. They’re up there on the stage in their tiny skirts while you’re down with the groundlings in the mosh pit. They get backstage, supposedly purely on the merits of their appearances, and get to sip away at free booze until the headlining act decides that they want to break off a piece of that. You might grumble about it under your breath when some huge guy knocks into you and dumps your $8 cup of Budweiser down the front of your shirt. ♠ Continue reading…
The Very Best of YouTube Headbanging
It’s been a hell of a week for me, between my soul-crushing day job and busily planning for my birthday (I’m turning 25 on the 18th!!!), so I wanted to do a quick, JWZ-style video rundown of one of my most favorite ways of burning off frustration: headbanging. ♠ Continue reading…
What I Wore To…Rich Horror’s Party Machine
For the non-locals reading, O’Brien’s is basically a hole in the wall, with a bar on one side and a stage on the other.

PositivelyBleak Interviews: Mongrel
Mongrel: Momma was a headbanger and poppa was a punk rocker! Inspiration from Misfits, Bad Religion, Black Flag, 80s thrash, and classic metal are all evident, but woven together in their own unique way. Despite walking the line between two genres best-known for their snobbery, they’ve gathered up a fan-base from all walks of life; goths, punks, rockers, metal fiends, and good ol’ regular townie types. Mongrel’s lineup consists of Adam Savage on guitar, Drew Barker on vocals, Ed Loguercio on drums, and Rev the bassist. ♠ Continue reading…
HATERS GONNA HATE: Dear Marilyn Manson, Thanks For Everything
I’ve been mentally rolling around an idea for a series of posts, called Haters Gonna Hate, where I explore the things that metalheads love to loathe and provide a counterpoint. (Putting the “positive” in PositivelyBleak, I guess…or just a game of Devil’s advocate?) Open up your head and see if you can challenge popular opinion with me. ♠ Continue reading…
Deaf Metal
Let’s talk about your ears.
No seriously, they’re the most important part of being a metalhead. They’re also probably the most abused part of every metalhead (except for you hardcore kids, you guys really need to watch out for your teeth in those pits). So why don’t more people take care of them? ♠ Continue reading…
