Cemetery Skyline put out a new song sometime ago. You guys might’ve posted it and had that conversation already, maybe not, I don’t know since I’ve been really busy for a while now. It’s good, but I wish it had a nice rhythm section. Otherwise, there’s not really much I’d change. Weirdly...

Well, I’ll be damned. That’s exactly what they did, it’s a tried and true THE cover. At first I felt the chorus was a bit stiff, but I’m gonna go against the grain: It’s stiff in the original too. I’m not as kind towards 80s rock and roll as most people, but I know a good 80s chorus. The...

That latter thing’s another wonderful quality for a cover to have. Admittedly, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Black Soul Choir, I don’t think most people have heard of 16 Horsepower, and a lot of those who do these days are likely because of that Devildriver cover (Myself...

Yeah, it does. I feel the same sort of way, though I also do enjoy covers that kinda just ‘refresh’ (I don’t want to say modernize because I would be dead wrong) the original in a well-executed way. I know Stairway is the song you don’t cover, but Heart and Mastodon did it wonderfully. Stuff...

This site’s been fucked for me for a few months now. Admittedly, I’ve been mainly using it on mobile, but especially when I made the acoustic compilation it took around a week before I could send it here because the site just wouldn’t load. There was only one other instance before that where it...

I don’t know why, but it’s genuinely surprising that it’s just five songs. I was expecting like seven or eight. I really hope that they don’t put out another single on Friday or just any day before the album’s release. I’m not the biggest fan of President, but as someone who wanted to feel the...

Holy shit. Cancer too. I don’t even know what to say, that’s a fucking massive loss in our scene. I never really got into At the Gates all too much, only a few songs of theirs here and there really resonated with me. I did quite like his vocals until their most recent stuff, but I wasn’t into...

Remission, Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack the Skye (depending on my mood, anyways, Blood Mountain’s my favorite of the four) all make for a legendary series of albums, a genuine generational run. I’m definitely not quite as huge on newer Mastodon (Hushed and Grim kinda sucks, which is a...

The site hasn’t been working for me for the entirety of this week until now. Maybe that’s a good thing for me given everything recently, but it still sucks. I made an acoustic compilation of a bunch of In Flames tracks (Digitally, I don’t actually know how to play guitar, and I don’t have the...

I was too distraught to say anything about it yesterday, but Brent Hinds was killed in a motorcycle accident Wednesday night, BMW didn’t yield at an intersection. I don’t really know if anyone else here is a Mastodon fan or not, but it’s important stuff and In Flames had given their condolences...

It already began to feel like it back when I first started listening to them? But especially these days, yeah, it’s completely fucked.

I think as long as we get something either interesting or stylized/THE-sounding (not even necessarily melodeath), or hopefully both, I’ll be happy with whatever we get. An old IF, DT, or even Iron Maiden song would be super interesting, but yeah, I doubt we’d get any of those covered. Even...

I didn’t even realize today’s the 20th, just listened to the song now. Honestly, even moreso than just the stylings fitting with Cemetery Skyline, there’s nothing really here that’s interesting nor feels like THE making it their own. It’s competently performed and produced, there’s nothing bad...

Oh man, that’s pure defamation right there. Actually fucked up.

A little more concrete news, I’m guessing it’s a cover rather than the third album’s lead single. Here’s to hoping we know a bit more either way, and here’s to hoping it’s as good as we’re expecting.
