“Your eyes taken by the dream, that fell through you like a river crushing against the rocks. Your eyes taken by the night, that fell on you like a rain that took the sun from you, took the light from you.”

• Corey Taylor may leave Slipknot! Ok, overreaction done with. The front man said he isn’t going anywhere. I saw people freak out over this yesterday and I was ferociously entertained.
• Babymetal has new music! I normally wouldn’t share this, but I guess I’ll be seeing them at Chicago Open Air. So what the hell?
• Iron Maiden kicked off The Book of Souls tour last night in Florida. I encourage you all to check out some of the images here and the introductory video here.
• Grave Miasma have announced a new album-ish, called Endless Pilgrimage, that will be released later this year. It drops officially on May 6th through Profound Lore.
• Zakk Wylde has a new album, Book of Shadows II, dropping on April 8th. Until then, check out this tasteful new track called “Sleeping Dogs.”

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
