I’m listening to the new Symphony X and I’ve decided I still don’t care about Symphony X.

• Amidst all this Mayhem Festival nonsense (and there has been a lot of it), co-founder John Reese wrote an open letter calling for unity in metal. Good luck.

Good stuff from those guys. I’m glad they don’t suck.
