“Rooted within the pitch-black heart, entrenched behind weary eyes, in the faraway song the cold sea sung in the calm whisper of winds afar. It lies, calls and awaits deep in the primeval dark, embodiment of despair that never leaves or severs the ties.”

• Been awhile, so let’s open with a tour. Or a couple of them. Up first, In Flames and Hellyeah will be teaming up for some North American dates. Dates are in November and December.
• Next up we have Battlecross and Allegaeon embarking on the Winter Warriors Tour also in November and December. The cool thing about this run of shows? U.S. Veterans can get in for free. Very cool.
• Opeth released another new song off of Sorceress called “The Wilde Flowers”. Give it a listen, if that’s your thing.
• And just because this amuses me, Marilyn Manson is going to walk in a path that is similar to many of us and not vote for anyone this coming November. Really though. This country is basically fucked either way.
• I’ve really enjoyed Gojira‘s latest effort in Magma, so I’m going to share a new video from that album now. It’s for “Shooting Star.”

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
