I’m back. But, am I really if you never knew I was gone? Carryover from last week but yea, I’m back and feeling great and just in time to tell you that friggin’ CRYTOPSY are back this week with a new album and no surprise, it’s excellent. These guys man, this far along and sounding better than ever…hell. yes. Next up is some black metal from Imha Tarikat that’ll really make you stand up and pay attention, and then we’ve got some rippin’ trad metal by way of power metal from Helms Deep.
