As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis Arrested In Murder-For-Hire Plot
Metal singer taken into custody Tuesday after allegedly soliciting an undercover cop to have his estranged wife killed.
Is it terrible that I’m not at all surprised that this would be coming from someone so intent on their Jesus-yness? I was really into Frail Words Collapse at the time, despite the fact that I do not approve of bands using music as a way to preach. To be fair, if this is true, he was still following the Ten Commandments, since by hiring someone, he wouldn’t really be the one doing the murdering. Thankfully, the legal system has a different opinion on this point.
INFINITY BONERS.

Hey y’all, don’t forget that this is going down tonight. I’ll be pressing play on the brand new Kvelertak record, Meir, around 8pm, and giving away some sweet prizes, so come down early and have drink with me! CJLO metal DJs will be spinning all the heavy hits, and a guaranteed good time will be had by all! See you tonight!
KVELERTAK. BURGERS. THINGS.
As you may or may not know, CJLO is celebrating a birthday this year. We have officially been on the air in Montréal for 5 years, and it’s been 15 years that CJLO in its current form has existed. To celebrate, we’ll be throwing events all year, which brings me to the next item of business…
Tonight, on my show, BVST (7 to 9 ET, CJLO 1690AM in Montréal, cjlo.com worldwide), I’ll be premiering selected tracks from the brand new Kvelertak record, Meir, which will be released in about two weeks. I’ve been listening to it for a month or so now, and trust me, you will not be disappointed!
I’ll be playing the record in anticipation of the upcoming Roadrunner Records / CJLO 1690AM listening party, which will be happening March 27th at Katacombes, and which will feature the new Kvelertak album as well as Disarm the Descent, the new Killswitch Engage record. The party starts at 7pm, there will be CJLO DJs spinning metal all night, prizes & giveaways galore, and admission is free, so c’mon down! Here’s a link to the Facebook event, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Finally, if all of this got you feeling a little hungry, you need to head over to Le Gourmet Burger (1433 Bishop) and grab yourself the official CJLO burger, with melty Cheddar, spicy Jalapeños, fresh Lettuce and delicious caramelized Onions (see what we did there?). You can get it on your choice of beef, chicken, bison or veggie burger, and I highly recommend getting the combo (which includes fries and a delicious house-made ice tea or lemonade).
To summarize:
TONIGHT: brand new Kvelertak tracks on CJLO from 7 to 9pm ET.
MARCH 27TH: awesome listening party for Kvelertak / Killswitch Engage at 7pm.
RIGHT NOW UNTIL APRIL 12TH: delicious CJLO burgers!
A lot of places will offer you deals on Boxing Day, but only CJLO gives you the year’s best music and banter absolutely free! Tune in Wednesday, December 26th from 7 to 10PM EST, as I team up with Idle Matt from Radio Fun team up for a 3 hour look back at 2012. Special guests Andrew from Grade A Explosives and teen internet sensation Film Ghoul will chime in as well. Skip the lines, and tune in… everything must go, one night only on CJLO!
