Rob Zombie Says he is “very excited” to be working on CSI: Miami!

Rob Zombie Says he is “very excited” to be working on CSI: Miami!

Filmmaker and musician Rob Zombie will bring his unique style of filmmaking to the streets of Miami on an episode of "CSI: Miami", to be broadcast Monday, March 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the CBS television network. The episode begins production today and is Zombie's television directorial debut.

In the episode, the CSI team discovers that a listening device has been covertly planted at a crime scene, capturing a terrifying soundtrack of the murder and, possibly, the voice of the killer. However, when it's revealed the bug was planted by the team's own Jesse Cardoza, the State's Attorney tosses the taped evidence and uncovers accusations of evidence tampering by Jesse on a murder case in Los Angeles. With the integrity of his team at stake, Horatio Caine and Eric Delko travel to Los Angeles to dig into that murder and clear Jesse's name. While in Los Angeles, Horatio find himself face to face with secrets from Jesse's past and a dangerous element within the LAPD.

"As writers, we were really pushing to create an interesting backdrop that could lend to Rob Zombie's visual style," says Marc Dube, co-executive producer. "We thought opening the episode at a macabre party, with Miami attendees all wearing stylized masks (a la 'Eyes Wide Shut') would be a fun kick-off point for Rob do to what he does best — conveying the cruel and creepy underbelly of humanity."

"I am very excited to be working on a show that has such an intense and unique visual angle on the classic crime drama formula and look forward to putting my own bizarre stamp on the world of 'CSI: Miami'," says Zombie.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine interviewed by Harmony Central at NAMM!

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine interviewed by Harmony Central at NAMM!

Harmony Central conducted an interview with Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine at the Marshall booth at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which is being held January 14-17, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Watch the chat below.

Marshall Amplification is introducing the new Dave Mustaine special edition MG microstack guitar amplifier, dubbed the Megastack. The three-piece unit includes a 15-watt compact head with four channels, plus two matching speaker cabinets — one angled and one straight. Each cabinet is loaded with a full-range 10" Celestion speaker. Available in extremely limited quantities in the U.S., the amplifier looks like a compact version of Mustaine's legendary full sized touring rig that he uses with Megadeth.

Mustaine will be signing autographs at the Dean Guitars booth (booth 5466B)
- Friday, January 15 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Saturday, January 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Devildriver frontman interviewed by Metalholic.com, Audio Available!

Devildriver frontman interviewed by Metalholic.com, Audio Available!

On January 8, Rustyn Rose of Metalholic.com conducted an interview with vocalist Dez Fafara of Santa Barbara, California metallers Devildriver. The chat is now available for streaming in three parts below.

In a recent interview with Metal As Fuck, Fafara stated about the band's plans for its next studio album, "Record five with this band, and I've said it before, even with record five, six, seven, eight and nine, will continue to get better. Not a lot of bands can say that and not a lot of bands have done that. Most bands, by the time they've done that amount of records, they're either over it or they're not giving you the anticipation of the record release that they should. But we want to keep Devildriver fans on their feet. So every two years we're going to release a record and just continue to tour like we do, and we're booked until May 2012. Then we're going to take about six months off. That'll be the most time I've had off in about fourteen years."

Regarding how the band's last album, "Pray for Villains", was received by the fans and the press, Fafara said, "It's been really well received all over the world at this point and we appreciate all the support we've received so far."

He added, "I never have any expectations or perceptions when it comes to [our] art; I just do art for the sake of doing art. I knew that we were stretching the boundaries and growing our sound a little bit — I knew we were going to give [our fans] something with a bit of growth and they were anticipating it. We feel very strongly that we made the right move with our music. As for how it was going to be received or perceived, I'm not that kind of guy. I'm doing it for the love of music, really."
