According to a terse press release, UK nu metal paragons Raging Speedhorn can’t get it up anymore and have decided to call it quits. Decibot considered draping a black shroud over Andrew Bonazelli’s desk for the sake of empathy, but Bonzo is already jumping up and down from the pile of cash he made in Decibel’s Official Nu Metal Dead Pool. Teen angst does have a body count. Decibot would like to salute Raging Speedhorn for making it this far with one riff, one dick joke and a little pile of pocket lint. That dick joke was fantastic! And that riff was a winner, too, especially when Raging Speedhorn dropped all pretense of Eyehategod sludge and embraced the ‘core. Decibot will be spending the rest of the day — possibly, the whole week — in mourning.
