Australian rock artist Crystal Ignite has released her debut single, “Everything You Break,” featuring Ben Moody (Evanescence) off of her upcoming, as yet unnamed EP. “Everything You Break” was written by Crystal Ignite, Andrew Bojanic, and Liz Hooper and produced by Crystal Ignite and  WizardzOfOz.

Having dreams, vision and aspirations is not new, but to achieve exactly what you set out to do, overcoming major obstacles on the way and come up with a finished product like 3/13; that honors the metal gods in such a unique way is a tribute to the very message Weitzel delivers in his music.

Day one of metal heads Christmas, 4th of July and NYE rolled into one broke the adage of “the fantasy is better than the reality,” as the summer tour delivered a fun-filled day of kick ass music and good times.

The Rockstar Mayhem Festival is the Shangri-La for metal heads and for many of us the concert highlight of the year. It is bigger, louder, and more freakin badass than anything else running. Mayhem is actually so freakin cool I quit my last “real” job to hop on the Mayhem wagon train for the 2008 tour as a media type dude. Rockstar Mayhem Festival is a showcase where the icons of metal come together with the brightest new stars. The Rockstar Mayhem Festival 2009 brought the legends, the brutal new metal stars, and some guaranteed crowd favorites out in force. Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Killswitch Engage and Bullet For My Valentine played on the main stage and the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Job for A Cowboy, Black Dahlia Murder, Trivium, All That Remains, God Forbid and White Chapel played the other 2 stages.
