Jumping right in here since I know you saw Dead Register as the featured image and are probably thinking their featured album has been out for 10 years. You would be correct captain obvious and thank you. However, this week sees that album’s 10th anniversary remaster and it is MASSIVE. Fiber was an instant hit upon its initial release and so much so that it still pulls constant rotations. Now, hearing this remaster is like falling in love with these dark and moody masterpieces all over again. Revisit it or visit anew, you will not be disappointed either way. Following that is the hard charging heavy metal that only Armored Saint can bring, and a somewhat local band to me, Your Spirit Dies, lets loose a killer metalcore EP. So yea, ALL the good things and we’ve still got an entire list hanging out just begging to be perused. Enjoy and see you here throughout the week.
