Happy Monday, people. Back to a full week and that, frankly, sucks. Anyway, let’s see what we have going on after the weekend.

• The good: The Black Dahlia Murder is streaming their new album, Abysmal, in full. The album officially drops on Friday.
• The bad: Somehow, pathetically, we’re at a stage where Five Finger Death Punch is outselling Iron Maiden. We did nothing to help this circumstance along. I promise.
• The ugly (see also: The comical): The Vigilant Christian has exposed Slayer and Iron Maiden! We will surely all perish! Or something. Get your laughs in for the day.
• What else is going on? Hmmm. Epica had to cancel a few dates on the Revolver Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock tour due to a family emergency. Obviously we hope everything is alright. Also, anybody else weirded out by the name of this tour?
• Finally, Nergal is doing things! With Machine Head! Check out this dope footage from a show in Gdansk:

Man, I wish I lived in a place where Nergal just showed up on stage. God dammit.
