It’s a holiday week. I suppose.

• Fire In The Mountains updates are always my favorite. The 2020 version of the festival will be headlined by Enslaved. Furthermore, Ivar Bjornson has been named the guest curator for the weekend. It’s going to be epic. I might need to attend again.
• After the recent debacle in South America, Abbath has acknowledged struggles with addiction and is committing himself to rehab. He seems genuine and motivated, so obviously there are nothing but positive thoughts his way.
• Looks like Faith No More is counting down to something. And the best part is we find out tomorrow! …Wow, that’s was the biggest piece of non-news I’ve ever shared… actually no that’s a complete lie.
• How about some symphonic metal to close out that day? That sounds seasonally appropriate. This is “Hold of Winter”, taken from Pythia’s The Solace of Ancient Earth. Enjoy.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
