Three day weekends are kinda dumb sometimes.

• Cradle of Filth have announced a reissue of Cruelty and the Beast. Originally released in May of 1998, the classic will see a re-emergence on November 1st through Music For Nations. There are some cool elements to this reissue, so if you’re a CoF fan, this is probably a no-brainer.
• Epica have dropped the second trailer for their upcoming re-release of Design Your Universe, which is out on October 4th through Nuclear Blast. Check it out, if this is something you’re anticipating.
• Bummer news for Sabaton. The entire band was in a traffic accident following a video shoot in the Sahara. As a result, they had to cancel a show that evening in Poland. The good news is that it looks like everyone is going to be alright, and future shows are still on schedule.
• Syberia have a new album coming out on October 4th as well, titled Seeds Of Change, through Blacklight Media and Metal Blade Records. As a preview, you can check out the video for a new single called “Empire of Oppression” right now.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
