Halestorm
The Strange Case of…
CD | MP3
Atlantic Records
Release date: April 9, 2012

It’s not often that you get the pleasure of hearing a solid hard rock band with a female lead singer. I’m not exactly sure why that is but it just is. There are exceptions, such as old school Heart, but hard rock is traditionally dominated by male singers. One modern notable exception is the band Halestorm. Halestorm successfully blends a modern sensibility of instrumentation and production with a classic 80’s hair band sensibility and tone. This is a tough fence to sit on. Most bands that try it either sound poser or they just sound like a complete throwback to that era of music, which isn’t in and of itself a bad thing. Halestorm does this and also brings us a powerhouse female lead vocal that once you hear it, you won’t forget it.

Newsflesh, Book 2
Paperback | Kindle Edition
Written by Mira Grant
Orbit Books
Release date: June 1, 2011

With the release this week of Blackout, the third book in Mira Grant‘s Newsflesh series, we’re taking a look back at the second book, Deadline. Deadline picks up where the first novel Feed ended and starts off with Shaun Mason dealing with the consequences of this actions in the first book. For those who haven’t read Feed – warning: the next few paragraphs mention spoilery events from Feed.

After the demise of the main character and blogger extraordinaire Georgia Mason as a result of the virus inside her amplifying and making Kellis-Amberlee activate itself, her brother is forced to kill her so that she doesn’t turn into a zombie. This decision still haunts him in Deadline, which sees Shaun finding out that there may be more to the Kellis-Amberlee disease than previously thought, including the suggestion that he could have spared his sister’s life as she would have eventually fought the transformation.

It’s good to have Guillermo Del Toro back in the director’s chair once again. The past few years have not been very kind to the Mexican filmmaker’s career: he turned over directing duties on The Hobbit to Peter Jackson after laboring on pre-production for several years and most recently saw his long-cherished H.P. Lovecraft adaptation In the Mountains of Madness cancelled over concerns from the studio that the film would not be accessible enough to audiences to justify making the $100 million budgeted, R-rated horror epic.

Waiting in the wings for the director was a sci-fi action project set up at Warner Bros. called Pacific Rim, the plot of which has mostly been kept a secret until recently. It has been common knowledge for quite some time that the plot of the movie would involve humans battling giant monsters with the use of huge robots and the recently-released plot synopsis confirms that, and then some.
