Anthrax's Worship Music is coming out September 13, a day before their Big Four Show at Yankee Stadium with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. Check out an awesome video hyping the record below.

There's this girl that I pretty much love with all my heart, and she had a really serious relationship about a year ago and can't get over her ex just yet. She said to me that she really likes me but needs some more time and when she feels right she'll give me a chance. I took her word for it and promised her that I would wait as long as I had to for her. All the time she's talking to other guys while I'm turning down girls just for her. I'm really beginning to think she just said that to be nice to me thinking that I would find somebody else. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?
—Tyler

Tyler, there are two things that can be happening here:

1. She really does like you but knows if she gives you a chance, it would be a serious situation again. So she is talking to other guys because it is fun without the pressure of being with someone in a serious relationship again. If this is the case, she will come around.

2. She likes you but not that much. Possibly thinks you are super cute and sweet...but after her heartbreak, it isn't what she wants. Which means she isn't crazy about you as much as you are about her...and while she might give you a chance one day, she isn't really that interested.

The solution for both cases:

You have put it out there that you really care for her. You definitely did the right thing with that. One should always make their feelings known...so the other person can choose how to react.  But being that she didn't respond right away...for you to turn away girls is crazy. You should go about your life. If she is ever "ready" to give you a chance, and you haven't already found someone awesome, then you can see where the relationship takes you. If she never gives you the chance—because she isn't that into you, or she meets someone else—then you are just sitting around with growing low self-esteem. Not to mention that you may appear a bit desperate or even weird if you don't date anyone while waiting around for her.

If she is aware that you want her, when she sees you with someone else, that will be the true test. Either she will give you that chance then, or if she doesn't...she doesn't care as much as you need her to, in which case, it would never work anyway. Both parties must be really into each other to make a good healthy and long-term relationship work.

The Short-lived Norwegian black metallers God Seed, which featured former Gorgoroth vocalist Gaahl and bassist King, are to release a DVD and live CD of their infamous performance at the 2008 Wacken Open Air festival. The deluxe digipack will be released on October 25 in the U.S.

The Wacken performance was a reenactment of Gorgoroth's controversial Black Mass show from Krakow, Poland in 2004, which was filmed in a TV studio. The band's Wacken concert included  "crucified" nude models, satanic symbols, sheeps heads, and oodles of sheep's blood.

The group effectively dissolved after Gaahl elected to retire from the scene.

If you've ever wanted to know how to play Slayer's "Die by the Sword," a song on their 1983 debut, Show No Mercy, visit GuitarWorld.com. As part of our Big Four Weeks buildup to the big show at Yankee Stadium on September 14, Guitar World and Revolver are posting exclusive content each weekday. Check back often for more!

The Big Four of thrash—Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax—are set to play New York City's Yankee Stadium on September 14. It will be the second time ever that all four groups have shared a stage in the United States. To mark this occasion, Revolver and Guitar World are celebrating the event with the Big Four Weeks leading up to the event. For the next month or so, leading up to the show, our websites will be giving fans eye-popping exclusives (like the Big Four trading cards from the September/October issue), previously unseen backstage video, and excerpts from our interviews with the bands on a regular basis.

This installment comes from our sister publication, Guitar World. Today, they have revealed that the cover of their next issue will be the Big Four, whom they photographed in Milan, Italy. Check out a video teaser here.

The release of Gorgoroth's Under the Sign of Hell 2011 has been delayed for a second time, due to financial issues with the band's label, Regain. The record, which is a re-recording of the Norwegian black metallers' 1997 album, was originally scheduled to drop on June 20 before being put back to August 29. No new release date has been offered up.

The band had this to say about the situation on their website:

"The master tapes were handed over to Regain by the band in April this year, and so it is of course very disappointing for the band that the label for the second time is not able to meet the set release date. Therefore, to avoid this happening again, no new release date will be given by the band until Regain can sort out their problems and provide a new date with 100% certainty."

Ohio-based metallers Skeletonwitch have posted the first in a series of candid videos documenting the recording of their forthcoming record, Forever Abomination. The record was tracked in Los Angeles with producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Children of Bodom), and is scheduled for release on October 11 via Prosthetic Records.

Check out the first vid, which introduces new drummer Dustin Boltjes (Demiricous), here:

Additionally, the band has announced a string of Midwestern headline dates, which will immediately follow their run supporting Arch Enemy and Devildriver.

Kerry King has plenty of history with Megadeth. Not only is his own band, Slayer, fellow members of the "Big 4" of thrash alongside Dave Mustaine's pioneering group, but King actually played guitar in Megadeth for a brief time during the spring of 1984.

"[Kerry] played the first five shows with us as our second guitar player," Megadeth bassist David Ellefson told us in our oral history of the Big 4. "I think Slayer was a little bit on the fence with what they were doing, what their direction was. Kerry always claimed that he saw Dave play with Metallica at the Whisky [a Go Go venue in Los Angeles] and how it changed his life. Playing with us, Kerry was such a natural fit with Dave's guitar-playing style. He just fundamentally understood how to play those riffs."

King, of course, ultimately decided to stick with Slayer, but he still has plenty of respect for Mustaine and his band. Indeed, when we asked him to pick his favorite Megadeth song, he couldn't pick just one.

"Obviously, I love 'Rattlehead,' 'cause I played it," King says. "But that first record [1985's Killing Is My Business…and Business Is Good, featuring 'Rattlehead'] is full of gems. I remember playing some of the riffs with those guys. We were playing songs from that and from their next record, Peace Sells…but Who's Buying? when I played with them. 'The Skull Beneath the Skin' [off Killing] is awesome, 'The Conjuring' [off Peace Sells] is awesome. All kinds of great shit."

French black-metal crew Glorior Belli teased their new album, The Great Southern Darkness, which is due out September 27, on our website on Monday. Now they're premiering an absolutely surreal video for "They Call Me Black Devil" right here. Let us know what you think of it in the comments.
