Tommy Vext is ready to Rock

You may know Tommy Vext Cummings from his days as front man of Divine Heresy and Snot, and you probably fear being alone with Tommy if he's pissed off! Yes Tommy is a badass singer with a very unique style, and yes he’s not someone you want to throw spitballs at. However, once you meet Tommy you realize that he’s one of the truest and nicest guys you will ever meet. We've had the chance to hang out with him a few times, and it’s evident that everyone respects Tommy. He might have been looked as the bad guy when he left Divine Heresy because of personal differences with guitarist Dino Cazares (Fear Factory and Divine Heresy), but he has moved on since then and he’s currently working on a new project with his best friend Doc Coyle from God Forbid.

As we all know, his own brother viciously attacked Tommy last September with a crowbar, which resulted in a spleen fracture that nearly cost Tommy his life. Thankfully his physical and mental recovery is going very well, and Tommy is getting ready to once again take over the world through his passionate lyrics and powerful vocals. This past November we had the chance to see Tommy's comeback at his benefit show in New York City, and definitely does not sound rusty. Seeing Tommy back on stage was a very cool moment for all of us who attended, especially after his horrible accident. As soon as he started singing he proved that the speculations of many fans which dared to say that Tommy’s career was over are not the be reckoned with.

After seeing Tommy’s legendary performance, which was the climax of the day, we decided to interview Tommy so he can tell you guys about his present and future. We purposely decided to not speak about his accident or about the friction between him and Dino Cazares, simply because Tommy is at a turning point in his life and negativity only delays a persons rise against the odds.

We want to thank Tommy Vext for this exclusive interview, which was filmed by our good friend Jay Belou! \m/

Thy Will Be Done = Rhode Island's Punch

Thy Will Be Done is one of the hardest working bands in the underground Heavy Music scene! Ever since we came across them in 2009 at the Crazy Donkey in Long Island, where they warmed up the crowd for Machine Head. We knew that they had the proper mindset and the right sound to be able to infect thousands of ear buds all across the United States. In the last few years they have been direct support for: Lamb Of God, Machine Head (as mentioned above), Fear Factory, Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth and many more.

Why this all this bands ask Thy Will Be Done to share the stage with them? Well, they guys from Thy Will Be Done have managed to blend various elements of Heavy Metal and Hardcore in an original way. They are also some of the nicest guys you will ever meet, they always go the extra mile for their fans both on and off stage.

We've heard many fans out there say how at the beginning they didn't get the bands music, but that after a few spins they understood that Thy Will Be Done is "Rhode Island's Punch"! Once they hit you, they knock you out ala Mike Tyson.

This past December we headed over to Santos Party House in New York City, to check out Shadow's Fall, Thy Will Be Done and Binary Code. As soon as we got to the venue we ran into Thy Will Be Done's front-man/screamer J Costa, and immediately started talking music! Right after Thy Will Be Done were done punching everyone who attended in the gut with their furious music, we spoke with J about the past, the present and the future of Thy Will Be Done.

Check out this video interview with J Costa, which features a brand new song by Thy Will Be Done, and a cameo appearance by Doc Coyle from God Forbid. \m/
