I haven’t done much nine circling in a few days. But it’s Monday again, so here I am.

• Judas Priest have announced a 50th anniversary tour that will run through September and October. Sabaton have been revealed as the special guest, so you know this is going to be one massive party.
• Sólstafir have begun the recording process for their next studio album. These guys have been on an absolutely roll the last few years, so I can’t wait for this next effort. Sounds like it will be out sometime this year through Season of Mist.
• Tool have announced a run of dates between April and June. There are a lot of them, and they are all in North America. I haven’t seen Tool live in forever, so I may look into this. But then again, I also enjoy having money. Conflictions.
• Abysmal Dawn dropped a visualizer for a new track, “The Path Of The Totalitarian”, off of the upcoming Phylogenesis. Give it a watch below. That record drops April 10th through Season of Mist.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
