I had this whole diatribe written for this intro but canned it last minute since I was incredibly salty then. I’m not now so you get the less salty version which is not nearly as much fun. Anyway, did you miss the latest from Interceptor? How about the new one from Phantom? If you answered with anything other than a yes to both you need to rectify that asap. Holy balls, Batman! Now for this week’s good stuff and boy do we have the “good stuff” with death metal from Unmerciful, black metal from Hexerei, grind from Chepang, and more death metal from Ossuary!!
