The ongoing Motörhead live recording series, The Löst Tapes, is being collected on a new eight-disc CD box set arriving February 23rd. In addition, a fifth volume in the series, Live at Donington Download Fest ’08, has been announced as part the box set and as a standalone vinyl release.

The Motörhead camp launched The Löst Tapes series in 2021, restoring previously unreleased Motörhead concert recordings sourced from cassette tapes discovered in the archives of the late Lemmy Kilmister.

“[Cassettes] were a standard part of every tour … Motörhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show,” read the press release for the box set. “They contain gold, pure aural gold, and had for many years sat hundreds of feet underground in a small cave Lemmy owned, guarded by small, hairy centurions in Roman armor with small spears and bad attitudes. Only the magic password would release them, and thankfully, Lem had scribbled it...

Proven Troma collaborator and creator, Robbie Lopez, is all set for a second batch of filming. With solid principal recordings complete, the team now moves on to the finishing touches with the star studded film, Cult Of Blood. Robbie Lopez just wrapped on the initial recordings …

Beach Slang recruited former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson for their new LP, The Deadbeat Bang of Heartbreak City, out January 10th via Bridge Nine Records.

The indie rock band previewed the album with thunderous lead single “Bam Rang Rang,” a torrent of power chord fuzz, bent-note guitar leads and the ragged snarl of frontman James Alex.

The track opens in glam-punk territory; after a false ending ushers in a wall of feedback, Alex leads the band through a cowbell-heavy hard rock section that conjures a hybrid of Mountain’s “Mississippi...

We’re just days away from the release of “Mindhunter,” and while our multiple previous glimpses at the new Netflix series have been downright Fincherian, they’ve been more atmospheric than plot-driven. With the premiere on the horizon, the latest official trailer is finally ready to introduce audiences to a new character.

“Mindhunter” follows the based-on-true tales of 1970s FBI agents who enlisted help from serial killers to catch similar criminals on the loose. In the series, Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) make their way to federal institutions for some eerie, special assistance.

Steven Seagal has made only one horror movie to date, and that was 2009's Against the Dark, in which he had a cameo that found him beating off vampires. Yet, here at Dread Central we've been known to cover the world of the bizarre and the paranormal. You're about to learn something about Seagal that is beyond bizarre...

Did you ever notice the strangest thing about Seagal movie titles is that they tell a story in order of their release? No? Check IMDb if you don't believe. Sit back, dear reader, and allow me to take you on a strange trip filled with action, madmen, and revenge.

Steven Seagal was Above The Law, but he was too Hard To Kill so now he's been Marked For Death by Jamaicans who are Out For Justice. Can he live while Under Siege and On Deadly Ground? Could you survive while Under Siege...

Steven Seagal has requested a presidential pardon for the film producer convicted of conspiracy to extort money from him. The action star wrote to the office of the pardon attorney at the United States Department of Justice to confirm his support for an eventual pardon for his former business partner Julius Nasso. He wrote: 'I have no objections to and would support the application (when it is timely) of Julius R. Nasso for a Presidential pardon.' The producer was sentenced to a year in federal prison in 2003 after his decade-long partnership with Seagal was severed. The 'Born to Raise Hell' star ended their relationship when his spiritual guru advised him to stop making violent films. However, Julius had already...

Chicago – Vern started his career as one of those snarky critics who wrote in to Harry Knowles’ landmark and influential movie website Ain’t It Cool News. He became a regular writer for the site and his work there turned him into a very unorthodox author. His first book was a fantastic examination of, believe it or not, the career of Steven Seagal. Newly updated with a dozen new chapters about the recent adventures of his subject matter (the first printing was in 2008), “Seagalogy: A Study of the Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal” is a funny, clever read for fans of the unusual action star and those who have never seen one of his movies. Vern’s movie-loving, smart, enjoyable writing makes this a more entertaining experience than Seagal himself has ever produced.

Don’t worry. This is not tongue-in-cheek nonsense. To say that Vern takes his subject matter seriously would be a Massive understatement.

Movie of the Week

Water for Elephants

The Stars: Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz

The Plot: A veterinary student (Pattinson) abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet.

The Buzz: This period piece looks to be a well put together romantic drama. I enjoyed Pattinson’s general vibe in the trailer; thankfully a far cry from his brooding ham-bake of the Twilight films. Witherspoon is winsome, I typically love her in her more dramatic pieces — aside from the laborious Vanity Fair. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of on-screen magic this pair can conjure up. Happy to see Christolph Waltz again,...

Ip Man 2

Donnie Yen owns. His recent output has been phenomenal, as I don’t know anyone who didn’t like Ip Man, and early word is that this film is actually better. Can’t wait to spend time with Bruce Lee’s mentor! (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Buy Donny: Buy

"...'Samuel Axel' (Seagal) is an Interpol agent assigned to a task force in Eastern Europe. His target is those that traffic guns and dope throughout the Balkans.

And in an explosive climax Axel...

Make no bones about it, this is simply brilliant!

Film Drunk has made a visual compilation of every bone Steven Seagal has snapped, cracked and busted in all the assailants and villains he’s come across during his long and illustrious career, from 1990’s Hard to Kill, to last year’s Born to Raise Hell.

No femur, vertebra and raduis is safe in these clips and it would appear that every single one of his characters possess an almost superhuman aptitude to deliver a devastating punishment in one single blow.

It’s also fun to watch Seagal become more and more bloated and less athletic as the years go by, and the filmmaker have to depend on a number of close-ups and cutaways to give the impression that he still has a deadly prowess.

Anyway, take a look at all the rib-crunching, neck-splintered glory for yourselves:

I know many of you have been wondering, “When will Steven Seagal’s direct-to-video opus ‘Born to Raise Hell’ finally see the light of day on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States?” It’s a question I am asked on a fairly regular basis. However, up until this point, I didn’t have a response that would satisfy those who were in need of a little Seagal fix. Thankfully, Paramount will unleash the big guy’s Stv actioner “Born to Raise Hell” on the aforementioned formats on April 19th. No special features have been announced yet, and I seriously doubt they ever will be. Come on — this is a Seagal flick, not “Inception”. Here’s a handy synopsis for those who are curious: Seagal stars as Sanuel Axel, an Interpol agent assigned to an Eastern European task force targeting gun trafficking and dope running throughout the Balkans. While investigating a Russian gun dealer,...

Rose McGowan (Conan the Barbarian, Planet Terror) joins famed thriller film director Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers, Powder) in Rosewood Lane as he goes back to his roots creating a new nightmare every bit as original as his Jeepers Creepers franchise.

The story follows McGowan as she plays Doctor Sonny Blake, a radio talk show psychiatrist, when she moves back to her childhood home after her alcoholic father dies. Once back in her old neighborhood she discovers the local paperboy is a frightening and cunning young sociopath that targeted her father and now targets her. When the boy starts calling her show and recites eerie nursery rhymes, an unnerving game of cat-and-mouse begins. When the game escalates, she suddenly finds herself in a terrifying all out war, one that forces her to redefine her ideas of good and evil, and has her fighting to stay alive.

Victor Salva, Director of Jeepers Creepers says,...

He is the Governator no longer. But Arnie – terminate all thoughts of making serious films right now

He said he'd be back, and now he is. Stint as governor of California completed, Arnold Schwarzenegger has two paths open to him – one leading to the White House and one leading back to Hollywood. But until the American constitution allows foreign-born citizens to become president – and until American voters suddenly grow fond of men who've run entire states to the brink of irreversible bankruptcy – then Hollywood it is.

There's just one small problem, though. Is Arnold Schwarzenegger planning to make the films that Arnold Schwarzenegger should be making?

The answer, it seems, is no. In an interview with Austrian newspaper the Krone this week, Schwarzenegger claimed that he's currently giving consideration to three scripts, one of which would appear to be Wings of Eagles, a story about a benevolent, child-saving Nazi general.

Deadly Crossing

Stars: Steven Seagal, Gil Bellows, J. Anthony Pena, Kyle Cassie, Warren Christie, Michael Eklund, Meghan Ory, Peter Graham-Gaudreau, Sarah Lind, Emilie Ullerup | Written by Steven Seagal | Directed by Keoni Waxman

When an influx of violent and ruthless heroin dealers descend on Seattle, Elijah Kane (Steven Seagal) leads an elite undercover squad of cops to bring them to justice. Tearing up the rulebook, Kane and his crack team of law enforcers storm the city streets to clean out the drug barons by any brutal means necessary.

Let’s clear something up from the outset – Deadly Crossing is actually the pilot movie for Steven Seagal’s new television series Southern Justice, aka True Justice (as it is billed on the title card of the movie) and was originally titled Russian Crossing. This straight to DVD release from Optimum Home Entertainment resurrects the old VHS tradition of debuting Us television series...

Born To Raise Hell

Stars: Steven Seagal, Darren Shahlavi, D. Neil Mark | Written by Steven Seagal | Directed by Lauro Chartround

Robert Samuels (Seagal) is a tough as nails Interpol agent working on a special task force in Eastern Europe targetingd those that traffic guns and drugs in and out of the Balkans. What he doesn’t bargain on is a war breaking out in the territory between the Russian mobsters and a ruthless gypsy gang. But when one of the officers under his command is killed by the gypsy leader Costell, Samuels teams up with the very people he swore to take down – the Russian mob – to end Costell once and for all and get justice for his dead agent, Steven Seagal style!

Born To Raise Hell is yet another of Steven Seagal’s direct to DVD movies made on the cheap in Eastern Europe – only this time Seagal is writer,...

Apparently Steven Seagal has a new movie out this week, a little ditty entitled “Born to Raise Hell”. Unfortunately for those of us who live in North American, the film in question is nowhere to be found. The rest of the world — particularly those who live in the UK — were treated to the movie’s endless entertainment options on October 18th. When will America be allowed to behold the glory that is “Born to Raise Hell”, you ask? Well, to be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely sure. According to a few blogs and a handful of form posts, the film was scheduled for release on October 19th, but as you can tell, it is currently missing in action. Curses! I need my fix! For those who are jonesing for it, here’s the synopsis: Samuel Axel (Steven Seagal) is a tough as nails Interpol Agent assigned to a task force in Eastern Europe.

Steven Seagal is... Born To Raise Hell. He's also probably hoping that his cameo in Robert Rodriguez's Machete will drag him out of the interminable straight-to-dvd exile in which he's lurked for many a year.

Steven Seagal is... working for the International Drug Task Force (Idtf) in Romania, on the trail of some Gypsy home invaders and a Russian drug trafficker. He uses his martial arts skills less these days, preferring ballistics instead. When his close combat skills are required, he develops a magical ability to send his foes flying into the air/ground/table/window/car door by simply gesticulating mildy. Just as well, since his aforementioned mass and lack of motivation renders him a presence rather than a threat.

Steven Seagal is... orange. His hair is also a rather unconvincing shade of boot polish black. He conceals his ever expanding girth with a black leather jacket which...

Claims that chunky chop-socky star Steven Seagal trafficked Russian women for sex have been dismissed. The allegations came from former personal assistant Kayden Nguyen, who also claimed she was assaulted three times before fleeing his New Orleans home. Lawyers for the Born To Raise Hell and Under Siege star dismissed the allegations as "ridiculous and absurd" and the work of a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired.

Chunky chop-socky star Steven Seagal is facing claims he trafficked Russian women for sex. The allegations - filed in La Superior Court - come from former personal assistant Kayden Nguyen, who also claims she was assaulted three times before fleeing his New Orleans home. Lawyers for the Born To Raise Hell and Under Siege star have dismissed the allegations as "ridiculous and absurd" and the work of a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired.

He can't be killed! Hell, he can't even be slowed down! Steven Seagal is back and he's Born To Raise Hell!

A hard core Interpol Agent is assigned to an Eastern European task force to target gun trafficking and dope running throughout the Balkans. While investigating a Russian gun dealer, his team is caught in a bloody street war between a Gypsy gang and the Russians, leaving one task force member dead.
