Here are some highlights from the week in suckage:

• We debuted new music from War from a Harlots Mouth and a hilarious comedy bit by Derek Sheen.
• We spoke to Michael Keene from The Faceless and Kevin Hufnagel from Dysrhythmia.
• We reviewed the latest releases from Between the Buried and Me, Enslaved, Bison B.C., and Hivesmasher.
• We learned that Century Media is attempting to sue more than seven-thousand illegal downloaders of the most recent releases by Lacuna Coil and Iced Earth — a  move of which the latter band’s Jon Schaffer does not approve.
• We attempted to decipher the letter Charles Manson wrote to Marilyn Manson.
• We wondered, “Is electronic dance metal is the next big thing?”
• We were bored with Rolling Stone‘s readers’ poll of the greatest heavy metal album of all time.
• We were elated to learn that Evanescence are going away for a while, hopefully “for a while” meaning “forever.”
• We laughed when Dave Mustaine forgot how to stand.
• We paid homage to Frank Bello’s total absence of fear of accidentally swallowing a bug.

Our weekend is going to be full of Moonsorrow, Katatonia, Devin Townsend, and Paradise Lost; we hope yours is just as much as fun. See ya Monday!
