The Sword's new album Apocryphon is pretty sick. Doesn't stray too far off the path of what they've done before but then why would they want to change it up when they make some awesome songs like this?

If you told me this was unreleased material from Black Sabbath, I wouldn't find it hard to believe you.

This used to be one of my fav bands, but I had completely forgotten about them:

New Killswitch Engage album 'Disarm the Descent' is coming out 02-04-2013. Which got me stupidly excited thinking it was out in a few weeks but then you Yanks love your MM/DD format. *sigh* So a bit longer to wait and teasers like these make the wait all the harder.

I'm so fucking excited. I'm loving what I'm hearing already. Jesse is now one of my favourite vocalists ever and Alive or Just Breathing, being one of my favourite albums. To hear him back with Adam D (aside from the excellent Times of Grace side project) and the rest of the band is gonna be awesome.

And it's off to a screamer! The first single "In Due Time" has got traces of all you know and love about KSE. The lyrics move away from Howard's relationship issues, thankfully.

Fucking idiot fans in the comments section comparing Jesse and Howard again.

I think what I like so much about Jesse singing in KSE, is that the harmonies between him and Adam D go along really well together. With Jesse's voice stronger than ever, both for clean and harsh vocals, it shows that off even stronger. It'll take a lot to top or even equal the quality of Alive or Just Breathing, and I'm not saying this will. But then it doesn't have to. But after hearing this and "No End In Sight", the signs are looking good for a kickass album

Having listened to all of Disarm The Descent a few times now I gotta say I love it. It sounds like it would be a direct follow up to Alive or Just Breathing and it's a welcome return to Killswitch Engage's heavier sound when compared to their last self titled record. Jesse's voice sounds as brutal as ever and has more range and the music is just what you expect between brutal and melodic. Love it.

A very sad day indeed

In more distressing news, Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying frontman) was arrested on the charge of solicitation of hiring a hitman to kill his wife. Absolutely fucking mental if true. Seemed like a really nice guy. Always innocent until proven guilty so here's hoping more clarification comes out of this. AILD is one of my favourite bands too. Horrible news to wake up to. Makes me wonder if I can ever separate this with his music. I mean, rockstars engage in a bunch of stuff I'm objectable to yet still like regardless, but murder, or solicitation to commit one? That's a whole new plateau that I wasn't prepared for.
