Bloodbath just announced they're cancelling that set and the whole NA tour, unfortunately. They couldn't get their visas in time.
Ah damn. Oh well, they're not a favorite of mine, and I would have preferred seeing them in the days of Åkerfeldt on vocals anyway. Still annoying though.

Fuck, Dismember is also experiencing those issues and will not be at MDF.
edit: apparently Dismember thought the US would drop the vaccination requirement for entry into the country before the show and just...didn't get vaccinated? Dipshits.
I don't mind the Behemoth one too much, to be honest. I like the colors, its kind of classy although yeah everything inverted crucifix whatever. Also I like the contrast against the last two album covers.
I think I would like the album cover more if the music contrasted similarly with the music of the past few. But that single just seems like a watered-down version of The Satanist (and, although I only remember listening to it once, I Loved You... felt that way as well).
All these folks trying to be the Hiroo Onoda of the Loudness War...
And just like that, a promo for yet another ESOCTRILIHUM album arrived...this guy does not apparently require sleep across his many cosmic nightmares...

I wanted to see Amorphis last night, but I had to run an errand after work and got home later than usual and was just too tired to make the drive to Baltimore and back. Sucks, I really did want to see them again. The last time I saw them, I had to leave 3 songs in because I had a nasty headache. Last night was also the final show of their tour.
I'm planning on going to a local show at a brewery tonight to see a colleague's daughter's blackened thrash band, which will hopefully be fun. The last time I saw a show at a brewery was Satan's Hallow a few years ago before they broke up.
I really hope they keep up these affordable Blut Aus Nord reissues, they've always been a tough band for me to collect for and I've only got a few already. The CD packaging is minimalistic but I'm just happy to have them, I hope we get at least the next 5-6 albums again.
Speaking of which, their new one drops in one week.

Soilwork continues to give me what I need.
I do love how they've come to this unique identity, musically. I pretty much left them for dead in the Panic Broadcast and Sworn to a Great Divide days.

Yeah, I pretty much lost interest in them after Figure Number Five (which itself was an OK album), but they got me back with The Living Infinite.
They've been pretty spot on for most of their career, but I think the first four remain the best, and they peaked on Natural Born Chaos, which still blows me away.

At the very least I can say both their early career and their later stuff after Winchers got the axe can provide me with exactly what I need, sonic wise.
I can listen to Verkligheten and be in a completely different mood when I want to hear The Chainheart Machine. Their last 2 ep's have been of incredibly high quality.
One of my all-timers, no doubt.

They've really gone up in my personal listings a lot the last few years. When they were first getting started I hadn't developed much of a taste for harsh vocals as of yet so bounced off the first 5 albums bad. But after digging Speed's cleans in Night Flight Orchestra and At the Movies I've gone back to their early work and found a lot to love.
It's now basically a tie for my favorite Soilwork being either Predator's Portrait or Natural Born Chaos.

Why is metal suddenly getting obsessed with Evangelion? This is the second eva-themed metal thing I've seen in less than a year.
Hansi has officially ran out of Western-based mythos to milk for lyrics (including his own concept) and is finally branching out.
And anime in general has been seeping into metal a shitload over the last few years, from Beast In Black's love of Berserk, Epica doing an entire album of Attack on Titan themes in 2017, etc...

TBF, Evangelion gets pretty fucking metal. Just looking at it you think it's a lunkheaded mecha anime, but once you get into it you realize that's a deep pool.
I've never actually heard of Evangelion until now. (I've tended to avoid anime/manga because I know all of my free time will suddenly disappear the moment I dip my toes in.) Is it worth checking out?

And here's the single for the Behemoth. Can't say it does much for me.
I guess Behemoth were listening to Mötley Crüe when they decided on that cover.

This is right after the bassist from Dance Gavin Dance also committed suicide, like 2 weeks ago. What is happening?
Basically, this world sucks shit

Hulder kills live
New Misery Index. Almost as good as their last album.
New Jungle Rot.
I was just about to post this. The symphonic blackened deathcore thing they have going on is just a treat to listen to.
This song is dense, but it's so well composed and produced and performed.
(Also good timing, after former vocalist CJ McReery did the closest thing to a "diss track" metal gets)

Don't think we could accuse the vocalist of leaving anything at home that day.
Has anyone ever heard what it sounds like when pigs are getting slaughtered? If you hadn't, you have now.
New Mournful Congregation EP is very good, maybe my favorite work they’ve done
Continue to be very into the Mizmor & Thou collaboration

With some stumbles, of course.
