mastodon band 2015

I have to drink beer later. Life is so hard.

Last September Mastodon lost their long-time manager, Nick John, to pancreatic cancer. His favorite band (beside Mastodon) was Led Zeppelin. In his honor, the band will be releasing a limited 10″ cover of “Stairway to Heaven” (which they played at his funeral) on Record Store Day. The proceeds will benefit cancer research. I’m getting a copy.
Slipknot is hinting at something. And counting down to something. The obvious guess is that it’s either a tour, album, or most likely both. Moving on.
In case you forgot, John Haughm isn’t a great person. And recently, he made some anti-Semetic comments on Facebook. As a result, former band members have further distanced themselves from him. Oh, and his current band members in Pillorian are also bailing on him. Good.
Screw it. Let’s close with a video from something called Black Coast for a song called “Lost My Limits”.

I resentfully put this post together tonight.

Venom are still doing things apparently. Not sure how I/we are just learning about this now, but their latest album, Storm The Gates, will be out December 14th via Spinefarm Records.
I like A Perfect Circle, I really do. But I don’t quite know why they covered AC/DC‘s “Dog Eat Dog”? I supposed it doesn’t really matter what I know. Give it a listen.
Five Finger Death Punch have announced their fill-in drummer: Charlie Engen of Scale The Summit. This is a good thing, he’s very talented.
Here’s a video from something called Black Coast, which sounds kinda cool (the name, not the song – I haven’t listened to that yet). The track is called “Ill Minds” and it features on their new EP titled Ill Minds Vol 1 (Primordial Records).
