METAL MONDAY: Beating the Ghost of a Dead Horse: Sex & Religion in a Post DTP World

March 19 2018 // DJ Spacepirate of Burnt Offerings // Columns

I guess to some attentive people, Transcendence was an obvious sign of the end-times.

My pattern-assigning monkey brain is telling me even the title was a clue. Fortunately, I am not some attentive people, so I'm just figuring this out now for your amusement.

METAL MONDAY: Heavy Metal Book Club: “What Does This Button Do?” Bruce Dickinson, An Autobiography

March 12 2018 // Angelica Calcagnile // Columns

*Find out how to win a copy of this book at the end of this review!*

Bruce Dickinson, of Iron Maiden fame, has entered the fray with his autobiography, and I'm pleased to say it ticks both boxes, despite being quite the strange creature.
