Today marks another year around the sun for me. How old? Let’s just say that every time I mention “oldheads” or the “classics of metal” or the “good old days of whatever genre of metal” du jour, I was there and lived it so yea, there you go. Moving on…this week’s new releases sees some wicked death metal from Reburied, nasty sludge and doom from Stomach, supremely twisted cybergrind from Blind Equation, and some incredible dark folk from Osi and The Jupiter. Oldhead or no, there is some good stuff out yet again this week so find you something to throw money at and we’ll be seeing you over the next few days.
