Abigail Williams have long been a perplexing band as they never seem to settle on one particular sound. Ken Sorceron, the only constant member and band front-man, seems to go wherever the music takes him. It’s no surprise that after loving 2012’s Becoming, I didn’t like their 2015 follow up, The Accuser. So here we are in 2019 with Abigail Williams’ Walk Beyond the Dark, easily one of the most creative black metal albums I’ve heard in ages.

CANTO: Updates from Corey Taylor, a Megadeth tour, and a Led Zeppelin ruling
“Invest your soul, do as your’re told. Life is short for whom the bells toll. You don’t have to doubt again, to fight again, to ever feel no pain again.”
- Corey Taylor has been given some… unique instruction from his doctors. The Slipknot vocalist cannot headbang or jump for awhile. Could be worse I suppose. Could definitely… be worse.
- Definitely a significant tour in the works. Megadeth will be touring with Amon Amarath, Havok, and Metal Church through North America this fall. No dates yet, but a massive lineup for sure.
- Led Zeppelin was recently taken to trial for accusations that they stole material from the Spirit song “Taurus” in their monumental “Stairway to Heaven.” Well, the verdict is in, and the Zep have been found not guilty.
- The Faceless were looking for a new vocalist. It was revealed recently that Ken Sorceron of Abigail Williams will be stepping in for their upcoming live shows. The question, of course, is if he will be filling in full time.
- Here is something kinda cool I stumbled upon. Tech death outfit Mindscar has released a music video for “When The Soul Dies.” Give it a watch/listen below.
“Ein Bier… bitte.”
