Well boys and girls, I think we’ve had enough hurricane horseshit to last a lifetime. Not a question or even kidding, by the way. Oh and also, I didn’t want to like that newest Blood Incantation as much as I do yet here we are. Now then, moving into MOAR new releases with the funeral sludge titans Fórn and their latest effort which is, yes, amazeballs and then we’ve got a trio of seriously sick outings from Feral, Misanthropic Aggression, and Escuela Grind. But wait, there’s more hiding out below. There’s always MOAR so do the thing already. We’ll see you here throughout the week. Oh and one more thing: I didn’t ask but I know you missed me while I was away and thanks to my 9C brethren for holding down the fort while I was away. NOW, GO.
