I am excited for the new Xasthur. Subliminal Genocide was pretty average except for A Prison of Mirrors which I love. I'm hoping the new one will have more in that vein.
Also n.i.l, Imperial's (Krieg) black/drone project, released a blog on myspace saying that the next recording from them will be out in December, but they have dropped the Black Metal influence. I'd be disapointed but Krieg is back so I don't really care much about this anymore. I do enjoy the S/T released earlier this year though.
