Right now, we're about eight miles high. No, we're not mixing V8, meth and acid anymore (we quit that last week, and damn have we been vitamin deficient). We're actually in a plane on our way to Los Angeles to attend the Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods Awards, which take place tomorrow night. While we're there we'll be catching up with the metal elite -- Megadeth, Killswitch Engage, Suicide Silence, Hatebreed, All That Remains, Slipknot, Machine Head, Devildriver, etc... -- and in the days ahead we hope to have all sorts of exclusive content to post, including interviews, behind-the-scenes reports a review of the performers and a breakdown of who won what at the awards ceremony.

Until then, take a moment to catch up on some of the highlights you might have missed last week. The two main guys from Seventh Void (Type O Negative guitarist Kenney Hickey and drummer Johnny Kelly) stepped in front of the camera for an exclusive video interview (catch part 1 and Part 2).

In Part 2 of our video interview with Seventh Void, the band members talk about recording their self-titled debut album, their history with Dimebag Darrell, how Vinnie Paul wound up engineering and releasing the disc, their upcoming tour plans and their extreme distaste for the term "side project."

Over four years in the making, the self-titled debut album by Seventh Void will descend like a heavy fog on April 21 on Vinnie Paul's label Big Vin Records. The band was formed in 2005 by Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey and drummer Johnny Kelly, and also features ex-Supermassiv guitarist Matt Brown and Inhuman bassist Hank Hell. Like Type O, Seventh Void play sludgy doom metal in the tradition of Black Sabbath, but while Type O are largely influenced by goth, The Void have more of a stoner rock vibe.
