The Metal God, Halford, bringing it in 2010:

I appreciate Halford because as he and Priest have gotten older, they've gotten heavier.  A lot of metal bands go in the opposite direction, trying to get poppier and crack the mainstream.

2011 is shaping up to be a good year for Metal.

Korpiklaani just released a new album.

Primordial is releasing a new album this spring. 

There will be new Devin Towsend stuff this year.

And the one I'm looking forward to most, new Moonsorrow.  It's being released in Finland this month, not sure when it will arrive in the States, but here's a taste:

Iron Maiden won the Grammy for Metal this year.

Which is an awful commentary on Metal given that 21st Century Iron Maiden is hopelessly dull compared to 20th Century Maiden, back when the Grammy's couldn't be arsed to show them any love.

I get to see both Finntroll and Eluviete live in the next 7 days.

And In Flames' new album should be out this spring.

Also, new Amon Amarth.  Heard one of the new tunes this morning on Sirius, and it should be another great album by the band.

They only recognize the greats after they've sold out to commercialism.....

Just ordered:

Cavalera Conspiracy - Blunt Force Trauma

Kyuss (Kyuss Lives!)

SHUT THE CHRISTING CUNTFUCK UP YOU WHOREMONGERING PISSWHISTLE!!!!

Sorry.

I saw mention of a new Kyuss album and pretty much completely lost my shit.

Got any more info on that one?

[East Coast Hustle]

Oh, nevermind.

Josh Homme isn't involved.

[AFK]

It's also cool to see that Godflesh has been reactivated.  Will be curious to hear their new stuff. 

Also, also, it appears that there will be a 2nd Control Denied album released, perhaps this year.

Control Denied being Chuck Schulinder's band post-Death.

But, but, he's dead!

Apparently he recorded a bunch of stuff before he succumbed to cancer and Richard Christy and the rest of the band are working on putting the finishing touches on it and hopefully releasing it sometime this year.

I should mention that the new Before The Dawn album I mentioned a couple posts back is fucking AWESOME.

[East Coast Hustle]

Bump.

Oh, goddammit.

Next time we have drinks together, I'm making you do an irish carbomb as penance.
