Well, according to the Mayan calender we have only got about four years left on this miserable little rock, before any number of events will simultaneously trigger the end of mankind as we know it. But to be honest what did the Mayans know? Not that much really or they would still be around sacrificing kids on top of temples. Some might take the little cute earthquake we had here in the UK last night as a warning of the end of days…… On that cheery note, if we do only have a brief amount of time left, at least this year should bring some light splatters of happiness to our lives.

1. Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!
The 14th album by the worlds finest purveyor of death, destruction and mayhem, Mr Nick Cave. Following on from the sleazy, blues, filth rock of Grinderman all the Bad Seeds are back together for one more album. Why should you be excited? Because with all the major “alternative” airwaves hell bent on pumping out soulless, lifeless emo-esque kid rock twenty four seven (I mean turn on MTV2 right now, I bet it’s bollocks), it’s good to have some thoughtful, well designed songwriting back in Ol’ Nick’s shadowy form. I don’t really want to give too much away here, but NecroMag will be reviewing the album very soon……stick around kiddies.

2. Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez have re-united!
Meaning we will probably get a GOOD Manson album in 2008. Not saying of course that “Eat Me, Drink Me” wasn’t any good of course…It just wasn’t Manson. Since Twiggy left the best thing that the guy has done involve the occasional splattering of genius art and covers of 80′s pop songs. It’s the Lennon/McCartney of the industrial world, and now that Manson has realised his ego isn’t a big enough talent to write intelligent rock anthems for a generation of people who once loved him, maybe he will find his feet again in 2008 with Twiggy by his side.

3. BUSH is getting the fuck out of office!
On November 4th 2008, the tyrannical reign of George W Bush will be over. But lets just see what shit he can cause before he gets booted out first shall we. And it looks, one way or another, for the first time in history that a black man or a woman (Barrack or Hill Dawg) will take over the title of most powerful person on the planet. So maybe the next four years might not be so bad after all. At least it will probably be a Democrat. It’s kinda in the name really. Democrat, Democracy, its pretty close. Just as a quick reminder of some of Bush’s fantastical doings in office look here

4. SPEED RACER!

The Wachowski Brothers are doing something again! WOO HOO! After the Matrix and producing V for Vendetta, its good to see them sink their teeth into something. Speed Racer will be out in May this year, for details check here

5. The End of Scientology?
Events this year as chronicled by NecroMag regarding Project Chanology are bringing this corrupt and stupidly powerful organisation to the public eye. Whether or not you have armed yourself with the knowledge of why these events have transpired
it is important that the worldwide events of February 10th do not get lost to the pages of history, as they represent the very ideas of freedom of speech that we must not lose as a race, or 2012 will be a welcome end of days.

Finally. 2008 will not suck because NECROMAG has been fed, nurtured and toilet trained. We will take care of you. Promise.
