This is something I have struggled with for a while. With the internet the way it is, especially platforms like Facebook, you can get to know musicians a little better than you could ever before. Sometimes, you find out things that you don't agree with. For example, my mom passed away my first...

I'm sure this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I stumbled across these guys thanks to the Angry Metal Guy. It's doomy, heavy, folky, love the guys voice, and it has bagpipes!! Vocals come in around 2:40.

I pre-ordered the new Sabaton and Equilibrium discs from NuclearBlast USA. They usually ship before street date so I have my stuff right around release. This order is still sitting "in process" on their website, so I sent a quick email to see what was up. Their response was that the...

Just found these guys thanks to Metal Observer. They are a folk/prog/melodic/black/+extras band from New Brunswick. All the members where in Woods of Ypres at one time or another, and David Gold was apparently going to be part of this group. Please check out the tune:

Just a quick heads up if anyone is interested. LotT are playing at the Woodlands in Columbus Ohio - June 3rd at 7PM. Jacob's Dream is one of the openers. Tix are $7.

Nick Menza passed away last night while playing with his band OHM. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-megadeth-drummer-nick-menza-dies-at-51/ Nick was always my favorite drummer from Megadeth and played on one of my top 5 albums. RIP Mr. Menza.

Anyone know what's happening with them? I listened to Talisman yesterday and wondered why no new music lately. I checked their Metal-Archives page and their status is "unknown". And their last Facebook posting was in 2013.

Apparently, Kai has hired a new vocalist so he can focus more on guitar playing. GAMMA RAY's KAI HANSEN: Why Adding Second Singer FRANK BECK Was Necessary German power metallers GAMMA RAY recently recruited Frank Beck as their second lead singer. Beck and GAMMA RAY leader Kai Hansen...

I don't know how many others here enjoy Borknagar, but I'm a huge fan and they are putting out a new disc soon. Here are a couple new tunes:

Besides an awesome name - this is a new band with members from Arsis, Black Dahlia Murder, The Absence, and others. Don't let their other bands fool you - this is straight power/prog style metal in the vein of Ghost Ship and Futures End. Check 'em out...

Apparently they have a new album coming soon. In the meantime, they released a Sonata Arctica cover for Full Moon. The vocalist sounds different to me. Anyway, here's the cover:

Not sure how many remember the speed metal band Powermad from the late 80's early 90's, but they have a new disc coming October 9th! I'm beyond psyched for this! powermadinfinite.com

I like this a lot. Reminds me quite a bit of Atheist and maybe Pestilence. Also, the guitarist plays without a pick - which I don't believe I've ever seen before in metal. Pretty neat to me.

New Barren Earth disc is out, and it's phenomenal! Epic doomy/death metal with a mix of growl and clean vocals.

For anyone interested. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/megadeth#exclusives I think I'll wait to hear some tunes first.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CyToN626E0#t=228 I like! Gotta figure out which version to buy. I'd like the 2 disc version, but not sure if 2 songs are worth $20. *sorry* I don't know why the video isn't showing, only the link.

I was having an MRI done today, and they had Pandora playing over my headset. A song came on that I really liked, but there was no way for me to identify the band. This is where you guys come in with your vast knowledge. It was a power metal band, I'm going to assume an newer band singing...

Featuring members and ex-members of Obscura, Necrophagist, Aborted, and Spawn of Possesion. Don't worry - there are clean vox. :)

In my humble opinion, one of *the* most underated bands in metal. According to a post on their Facebook page, Harry is back in the band and they are currently in the studio working on a new album!!!! :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock: Couldn't be happier!
