Early Quickies??? Early Quickies!!! Let’s not waste any time, folks–here’s what we missed in the world of metal today:

• Losing sleep agonizing over what the new At the Gates album’s going to look like? Of course you weren’t. That’s okay, they’ve got you covered anyway.
• Nevermore frontman Warrel Dane got back together with his old band Sanctuary, and they’ve released their first new song in 25 years. Check it out.
• For some reason, Mudvayne is apparently still a thing. Goddammit.
• Also in “Goddammit,” apparently Breaking Benjamin have reunited. Fuck this awful band too.
• Are Nuclear Assault calling it a day? Sure seems like it, based on this statement from Dan Lilker.
• And finally, HammerFall released a video for their new single, “Hector’s Hymn.” You can check it out below:

True story: this is actually the first HammerFall song I’ve listened to since “Hearts on Fire.” Which came out 12 years ago. Somehow, I don’t regret not keeping up with them. Shocking, I know! Anyway, that’ll do it for today. Check back tomorrow for more Horns Up!
