For those on the east coast, Sumerlands and Eternal Champion are playing Johnny Brenda's in Philly on July 8th.

I've actually been back to listening to Sumerlands recently. Wish more bands going for the "old school" thing would go for solo Ozzy style stuff rather than NWOBHM
Then again I'm sure if everyone was doing it I'd say the opposite, lol
"Boy it'd be cool if more bands used the HM-2 Swedish Death sound" "Hey this blend of hardcore and early 90's Euro death is cool" *two/three years later* "Oh...."

I feel like every time I try and listen to a new band doing the HM-2 thing I just turn it off after 15 minutes and go listen to Indecent and Obscene.

I like the way you death metal.
I'll never get tired of that Swedish buzzsaw Boss HM-2 tone though, so I welcome it.
These covers are awesome, especially the Journey To Silius one.

Sad news out of the slam scene, Martin Funderud (vocalist of Kraanium) has passed away.
Martin's twin brother Mats (who plays guitar in Kraanium) has posted this picture to facebook:
I can't imagine what Mats is going through right now. To play in a band with your twin brother for sixteen years and then lose him at the young age of 38 must be devastating.
Kraanium were one of the bands that got me into slam and for that I'll always be thankful.
R.I.P. to both Martin Funderud and William Tolley.
I'll be blasting some sick slams in honor of both of them!

I like the new Ghost Bath. It feels at least slightly further from their deafheaven sound on the first album. I still think I like their first album a bit better, but this is good. Their screams seem kind of unneeded in some of the songs though. Like they're just there to remind us this is some sort of black metal.

New Alestorm song! It sounds like Alestorm but with more shouts

Hell yeah!
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Enjoying the new Body Count album. As always, lyrics rubberband from ludicrously silly to pointedly serious. Overall I think Manslaughter was better, but this one is no slouch. Interestingly, Slayer songs are listenable when a band that doesn't suck plays them, so that's good to know.

Battle Beasts second album is fantastic. It's a shame they haven't been able to follow up.

Cult Of Luna - YEARS IN A DAY (official teaser)
CULT OF LUNA - YEARS IN A DAY: The Sweep & Light Chaser (Official live video)
Cult of Luna's new live DVD, Years in a Day, has come out, and it's supposedly one incredible assault on the senses. If anyone here has seen them, you know what you're in for. A visual and auditory slap. Check this teaser video out along with the first track on the DVD. So fucking good! They have the most insane lighting.

Funnily enough I never really was a fan of alestorm but the new song made me listen to some of their stuff again and I think it might actually be a ton of fun with a bit of alcohol...

just found out about this megaton.
The first three Malevolent Creation albums are getting reissued on multiple color LP and digipak CD formats. Official release date is May 26th. Black LP and CD editions already available for pre-order at High Roller Records (Germany).
Never thought they would play in Atlanta. The venue is tiny as hell too. Gonna need to get tickets early for this one.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Their new record is fucking awesome. I really liked the first one but this is just a huge leap forward.

This has been one of my top priorities for years. Never been able to find copies locally, nor am I going to pay inflated prices on Discogs or eBay. Fucking finally.

Any of you guys listened to Wear Your Wounds' debut album? It's really fucking good, but then I am a Jacob Bannon fanboy.

FIN - Arrows Of A Dying Age - this rules. Ultra rad black metal, riffs on riffs
In other news:
California Deathfest announced "Massacre X" at their first announcement. I looked them up and it appeared to be a spinoff of Massacre by Rick Rozz. Wasn't impressed by their last "reunion" run laced with Pantuuura so I didn't really care
Randomly search on facebook today and it's billed as "featuring Rick Rozz and Kam Lee"..........in the age of reunions people didn't think would happen, how is this not a bigger deal? Way more interested and might actually spring for CDF now

Ed Repka is the master of recycling
It's pretty hilarious, neo-thrash kids pay him to make album covers and he's been found reusing assets in several of them. Like reusing faces and shit. Lol
As far as Vio-Lence goes, I love them to death but From Beyond is better than Eternal Nightmare. Oppressing stomps both
This one springs to mind but there's surely more, also other assets reused in backgrounds and such. Looks like he used the same intestines for both of these as well

They sound pretty good. Tech Metal is always something to check out.
YES.
They are still with the guy mimicking Barlow's voice?
Stu Block?
That's the one, and i see now that they are.

Killer, enjoy it
So I happened upon a used copy of Between the Buried and Me Colors live cd/dvd this past weekend and its kinda blowing me away. My only other experience was their newest album and I liked it but it never really hooked me. Been listening to some of their older stuff (via Spotify) as well and it seems pretty consistent. I have some catching up to do.
Debating about going to see Pallbearer, Inter Arma and Gatecreeper. It requires a 2 hour drive but thats not a deal breaker. I live in an area where I have to drive 2-4 hours for most any show I want to see. Opinions on if this will be a good show?

Colors is pretty great, but yeah the new one, Coma Ecliptic wasn't quite as good as some previous releases I thought. Parallax II is my favorite hands down.

I think those albums are great OSDM but I'd be more excited to buy them if the dudes in Malevolent Creation weren't noted racists.
Craziest release they have done yet but I dig it. Love everything Mesarthim has put out so far.

I didn't realize that new Disma EP came out on my birthday. Listening to it now and it's got me craving a second album. One of the sickest guitar tones I've ever heard!
Also blasting a bunch of Slugdge today.

Best metal album of 2017 so far is the new Artificial Brain! Well maybe too early to tell but I'm caught up in that release week hype!
