Updates From Mayhem!

July 23rd, 2010

I know it’s been a while since I did a full blog update, my apologies, Mayhem Fest has been so amazing but hectic at the same time, some days I do 3 or 4 signings and the travel schedule has been nuts but enough of the excuses, let me tell you what’s going on!

I will be the guest on Full Metal Jackie’s radio show this weekend! Check her site for info – http://fullmetaljackieradio.com/

Punknews.org is running a KINGDOM OF SORROW contest, go enter! – http://www.punknews.org/article/39079 don’t forget that KINGDOM OF SORROW is on Ozzfest this summer! Check out http://www.ozzfest.com

As most of you know, I’ll be signing at the Revolver Tent at the Camden & Hartford Mayhem Fests at 3pm! Come by and say hi. Also check out my Hatewear stuff at the I love Vagina tent, my good friend Randy from Lamb Of God will be signing w/ me at 8:20pm at most all Mayhem Fest shows! It’s been great to meet so many fans new and old, some days the Oompa loompahs come hang with us which is always fun.

We’ll have a ton of new gear at the upcoming shows.

Speaking of Randy, there’s been a few shows where he’s jumped up and sang “Doomsayer” with us and the crowd goes INSANE!

Check out this portrait of me that a fan got inked on their leg! What an honor!

We got super soft guy hoodies back in stock over at http://www.hatewearstore.com get one for the fall!

Got to meet baseball legend Randy Johnson, he digs Hatebreed and took a ton of great photos of us!

I sang on a song called “The Beast” on the new ACACIA STRAIN album, go get it! It came out brutal.

Went to a really cool comic/toy shop in Portland, OR. I found the original Punisher comic and Randy got this! He also got me an original Thor cup from 7/11 which I will cherish.

Here’s the latest beard picture. I’ll be shaving it at the last Ozzfest show!

Here’s a recent interview I did that covers a bunch of stuff. Enjoy!

He even liked my sketchy irish beard! :)
Because of all the crazy deals we’re offering on http://www.stillbornstore.comhttp://www.martyrstore.com I autographed over 2000 items early this week, everything from posters to 8×10′s to cds so if you ordered from us thank you very much. Here’s a picture a fan sent it of what he got in his mailbox.

There is constant motion in my life. I’m on the move, I’m here, I’m there. I make effort to see things, check things out, ask questions etc. Sometimes I stop moving. I breathe. I am grateful. Music keeps me on the move. It makes the globe feel small. I make effort every day to be grateful and take it all in, you should too! I just found this picture. Seems like just yesterday we were on this tour.

Other cool things I got to do this week, an interview with Munky from Korn and Chuck from Alice Cooper on AOL Noise Creep

A blog takeover on the site Metalsucks.net

I went to internet week in NYC and Sirius XM Satelite radio as well which was killer! That interview will re-air
