I am going to start this book review with a quote I read on Amazon.com. Boaz wrote: “You don’t have to be prude to be fully offended by this piece of trash! The author apparently does not pocess enough English language prowess to write any one paragraph without lacing it with EXTREMELY rank, foul an […]

The 13th Annual Tromadance Film Festival
Most of you people following the El Gore Blog regularly know that I am a huge fan of Lloyd Kaufman and Troma movies. Why this passion? I am not quite sure but I always had a weakness for feces briming over with passion and creativity. Sigmund Freud would probably explain that there went something wrong […]
Reunion-News

They will also be playing at this year’s Coachella festival in April! The same applies for hardcore and post-core legends from The Refused, who also announced a reformation for Coachella.

So-called insiders guess that the music album as we have known it until today will have disappeared within the next 2-5 years, except […]
RIP Chuck Schuldiner
I am not a big fan of Death Metal and I am that kind of guy who never knows what to say when someone is feeling bad or died. Chuck Schuldiner died 10 years ago today and with him did the only Death Metal band I really enjoy listening to. I never knew this guy […]
Kirby’s Adventure
Every single one of us has got his ultimate favorite videogame. When I talk to my friends about their favorite game, classics like Mario Kart, Rock’n Roll Racing, Mega Man or Zelda come up. Given the fact that I never owned a Super Nintendo as my parents knew that this would worsen my mental labilities, […]
