It was only a four-day work week this week, and STILL a ton of shit happened. Here’s your rundown:

• We debuted new music by Serpentine Path and, thanks to Decibel, Deceased.
• We reviewed the latest releases from Pig Destroyer, The Faceless, As I Lay Dying, The Chariot, and Defiler.
• Eyal Levi from Audiohammer Studios wondered if Guitar Pro is ruining music, while Gwar’s Dave Brockie gave us the latest on the NFL.
• We were devastated to learn that Hydra Head Records is going out of business.
• We saw what would happen if scientists and philosophers were metal bands.
• We wondered, “Which bands are the Big Four of death metal?”
• We got excited by the rumor that Brian Benoit might re-join The Dillinger Escape Plan.
• We also got excited that High on Fire’s Matt Pike got a new t-shirt!
• We also also got excited watching members of Tool, Rush, System of a Down, and Primus jam.
• We learned that Judas Priest might sue The Gap.

We have a big big big announcement coming next week about another (not CMJ!) super-awesome event we’re involved with… so be back here Monday! ‘Til then…
