“And I walked away, hoping you’d look back at me. And I walked away, into nothing. And she told me, don’t look in the mirror.”

Let’s start with some album news from Dark Tranquillity. The Swedish death metallers have announced their latest album, Atoma, will be released on November 4th.
Scar Symmetry have announced a North American tour with Arsis, Shattered Sun, and Painted in Exile. I’m into this, I’ve never seen Scar live, and I know a couple of those openers will kick ass.
45 years into their career Pentagram have finally decided to release a music video, and it’s for “Curious Volume”. I don’t actually care about their music, so I’m just going to link you to the clip and move on.
Allegaeon released a new track today called “Gray Matter Mechanics – Apassionata Ex Machinea”. It’s also their first track with Riley McShane. Listen to it, you idiots.
How about another new one from Spellcaster? It’s got an 80’s vibe that is working for me right now. It’s called “Night Hides the World”. A.k.a it’s the title-track from the new album.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

CANTO: Rescheduled Slipknot shows, troubling news from the Pentagram tour, and more

“Feed off the melancholy, get drunk from despair. Rejoice in the name of failure, deliverance found in pain.”

West coast prog metallers Hammers of Misfortune have released details for their next studio album. Dead Revolution will be out on July 22nd.
Those Slipknot and Marilyn Manson shows that had to get rescheduled due to Corey Taylor’s surgery have been, well, rescheduled. They’re in August. So… go for it.
Corrosion of Conformity drummer was forced to step aside because of an alcohol related seizure. And, rather efficiently, he has returned to action.
This is a little troubling… King Woman and Wax Idols open about why they dropped off the current Pentagram tour. Basically, they were treated like shit by Pentagram’s management and inappropriate actions were made by Bobby Liebling. Just… creepy.
Here’s some trippy animated footage from Tool to get you through the next few minutes. Enjoy.
