Lots of things make perfect sense when put together.  Fish and chips, salt and vinegar.  Some things seem totally incongruous, like cats and dogs, Trump and the Presidency.  And there are other things you would just never even consider pairing up.  Cheese and chocolate, PlanetMosh and boy bands.  The new …

Last Saturday in Dublin, the Metal 2 The Masses Ireland chapter reached the mid-point of the heats and the crowd was in early to see who would progress to the semi finals and maybe make it all the way to Bloodstock. Taking the stage in the unenviable opening slot was …
