I've been spinning Mike Oldfield's new album "Man on The Rocks" a lot lately. I got it on release because I always liked his stuff, and he's a legend in prog rock, so if you're not hip to his music, I highly recommend checking out this new one. Everyone knows him in some form or another because...

http://loudwire.com/opeth-hope-11th-studio-album-june/ All clean vocals, a bit heavier than Heritage, but more melodies than Heritage. I thought Heritage was awful, hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Mitch Harris from Napalm Death released new band's new album this week by the name of Menace which also features Shane from ND on bass and Derek Roddy from ex- Hate Eternal on drums. But unlike what you'd expect from Harris, this is proggy, spacy, atmospheric prog metal that sounds like Voivod...

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/16772-agalloch-celestial-effigy/ Sounds like like a combination of Pale Folklore and Ashes Against the Grain.

Decibel Magazine interviews Nathan Carson - agent for Agalloch, YOB, Primordial, and many others, and Dave Shapiro - agent for Godflesh, A Day To Remember, and Whitechapel among many others about the economics and business of being booking agents...

Devin Towsend's doing a blues album with Ché Aimee Dorval (who sung on Ki) called "Casualties of Cool" and wants to crowdfund it through Pledgemusic. Here's the story: http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/02/10/devin-townsend-announces-impending-crowdfunding-campaign-casualties-cool/

Really digging this song. BLS is usually hit or miss with me, but Order of the Black was really good. Hopefully this new one is also in line with that one.

So apparently our new mayor's daughter is into metal: "Old school metal, thrash metal, death metal, the new wave of British heavy metal. In terms of more modern stuff, I've gotten into Scandinavian, folk, and Viking metal. Dante loves metal now too, thanks to me."...

This is one of the ballsiest things I've ever seen a non-public e-commerce organization ever do. Spotify officially released a massive swath of data regarding how it pays out artists, some facts about its users, and its overall contribution to the music industry. Check it here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADIEAW65H5o First listen on the new material - it reminds me of being a throwback to the debut record which is still my favorite of the bunch. Definitely looking forward. Neige never lets me down!

Shining (NOR) filmed this video in one take without any edits, 100% live, to protest their rehearsal studio from being demolished. In other situations, 99% of bands filmed in this situation would buckle down bad. Either they're not tight enough to pull it off, or they would look really lame and...

There's a literature thread, a comics thread, and we even had an anime thread, but we've never had a dedicated video games thread! What are you playing, what are you looking forward to playing, etc. Doesn't have to be anything new either. I'm currently playing Tales of Xillia for the PS3. How...

Dates have been announced for the coming ‘Uncrowned & Vertikal Tour‘ which features Katatonia, Cult Of Luna, Intronaut and TesseracT. Here’s where the trek will hit: 09/23 Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club 09/24 New York, NY – Irving Plaza 09/25 Philadelphia, PA...

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/huntress-virtual-yard-sale-for-mayhem-festival-tour-support I've said this a few times before, but here's a pretty apt illustration of exactly why you don't see Primal Fear or Hammerfall or Edguy doing this kind of a tour. Here's an American band playing...

holy shit it's good http://youtu.be/V_E5ae9ZTwk!

Phil Collins' son's new band. Not really going to say anything humorous about this. Album is absolutely incredible prog rock with modern flourishes. Mandatory for fans of the genre!

Being extremely burnt out on all of these Saint Vitus or Sleep cover bands that have been coming out lately over the last few years, I almost exclusively stay away from 'doom' unless it's on the Swallow the Sun/Katatonia side of things (or as Jasonic likes to call it, 'dark metal'). in my...
