• We got really excited about the new Mastodon song, “The High Road.”
• We speculated that members of The Acacia Strain, Thy Art is Murder and Fit For An Autopsy may be forming a death metal supergroup.
• Despite the rumors, AC/DC are not breaking up.
• Three-fifths of As I Lay Dying officially announced their new project, Wovenwar, with Oh, Sleeper’s Shane Blay handling vocals.
• To commemorate the one year anniversary of bassist Chi Cheng’s passing, the Deftones released a track from their shelved Eros album.
• Watching how kids react to Sony Walkmans made us feel really, really old.
• Somehow, the vocalist for Ireland’s Coldwar didn’t anticipate that having a bunch of swastika tattoos might lead people to believe he’s a Nazi.
• Ghost’s Papa Emeritus II: sleeping with groupies is something he does “to the fans, for the fans.”
