Well today sure was weird, but at least I’m caught up on writing?

Einherjer, a name I haven’t seen in quite some time, have announced details surrounding their first live album. Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends) is set for an August 5th release through Napalm Records, and a clip for “West Coast Groove” is available now.
Creeping Death have announced a North American headlining tour with 200 Stab Wounds, Tribal Gaze, and more. Those dates cover August 16th through September 18th, and you can find ticket information here.
Parkway Drive has marked a bit of a return with the new video for a track titled “Glitch”. It’s their first new material since 2018’s Reverence, so we’ll see where they take things from here.
We’ll close out with some new footage from Deadguy. Below is the clip for “Makeshift Atomsmasher”, taken from Buyer’s Remorse: Live From the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest. That’s available exclusively through, well, Decibel Records. Alright, I gotta run!

It’s beginning to look a lot like fuck this.

As usual, we have a couple tours to announce today. We’ll start with the bigger one first. Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive have announced the co-headlining “Collapse the World Tour”. After The Burial is involved as well.
Glacial Tomb are going places in January! Entirely on the other side of the country, but if you can manage to swing it, I would support you.
How about a some black metal? Dawn Ray’d have a small handful of dates also in January, with Vile Creature, and on this side of the country. Perhaps I will dabble.
Ok, we’ll switch gears and close this thing out with a not-tour. I give you: Nanowar of Steel and their new video for “Heavy Metal Kibbles”. Yes, it is everything you could hope for and then some.

“Oh take me where, the hockey players, face off down the rink. And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink. Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and the one gigantic scream. ‘The puck is in! The home team wins!’, the good ol’ hockey game.”

I like wrestling sometimes. I like Seth Rollins most of the time. So here’s Seth Rollins moshing at a Parkway Drive show. I think.
Emmure are still a thing by some miracle. They’ve signed on with Nuclear Blast and have a new song out called “Torch”.
Rock am Ring and Rock im Park are both things I would like to attend someday. 2017 won’t be that year. But if you’re going, you’ll be able to see System of a Down and Prophets of Rage (among others) lead the way.
King Diamond is back at work. One of our favorite legends will be dedicating the coming year to new material. A new album from The King is definitely something we all need.
Avenged Sevenfold has released a new song called “The Stage.” Check it out.

CANTO: RIP Jim Konya, album sales, and Ghost’s newest nun

October 7, 2015October 7, 2015CoreyLeave a comment

The last three days have been a particularly tiring stretch so I am definitely ready to start my weekend early. Like tonight.

Starting things with some sad news, Nunslaughter drummer Jim Konya has passed away. He was originally hospitalized following a stroke, but it looks like things took a negative turn while he was in the hospital. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
Album sales. Not the busiest week for heavy metal, but a solid showing for Parkway Drive, among others.
Dave Mustaine is selling his 5 million dollar home in the San Diego area. Interesting… but I can’t think of a single person I know that could afford it.
In case you missed it, Ghost had put a call out for female fans to dress as nuns to serve booze at their shows. Almost immediately, Lzzy Hale, singer from Halestorm, decided to get on board. Awesome.
Fuck the Facts has a new music video out for “The Path of Most Resistance” and, well, here it is:

CANTO: Tours all over the damn place, plus some new Marty Friedman

September 1, 2015September 1, 2015CoreyLeave a comment

No introduction necessary.

Slow day in news, but we can always start with some new tours. The first one features Hate Eternal, Misery Index, Beyond Creation, and Rivers of Nihil. That’s going to be a beast.
I’m only sharing this because my roommate is a fan. Parkway Drive will be hitting the road with Miss May I and Thy Art is Murder. The tour kicks off at the end of October.
Alright. One more tour. August Burns Red with Every Time I Die. The first date is November 27th in Philadelphia.
Marty Friedman has been busy. Before his first North American tour in nearly forever kicks off next week, he went ahead and released a new track titled “Jasmine Cyanide”, which features Danko Jones on vocals.
I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard of the Harp Twins, but it you haven’t you should familiarize. Here they are covering Metallica’s “One” and it’s incredible:
