Down at the House of Blues, Mandalay Bay – Las Vegas
I will never quite understand why I do the things I do… perhaps I have a need to make things difficult…or just like things to be extra special. I decided I needed to break up the monotony of life in Northern Virginia (which everyone needs to do from time to time, regardless of where they [...]
Behemoth’s Evangelion makes Satan look hot
An amalgamation of orchestral warm-up and the gateway to hell opening, the death riders known as Behemoth crawl out of the depths… “Hear the word of the lord!” he cries… the Dark Lord. God I love Behemoth. Their ninth studio release Evangelion will be released upon the world August 11th and as I sit with [...]
“We’re gonna have a good time and no stupid baby is gonna stop us.”
Attended the Summer Slob Tour last night. Granted, I have been doing shit non-stop for a week and a half, including driving to Ohio and back, so I’m beyond tired and probably should have gotten in a nap or skipped the show altogether… But I love the Acacia Strain. I had to go. Good to [...]

Very moody, as the album title may suggest, but not depressing, Tombs take you through the gamut of genres – they’re not afraid to thrash out, slam directly into a [...]
Quickies

The new Cannibal Corpse is disgustingly [...]
Scion Rock Fest was legend… wait for it… ary
Scion Rock Fest. What a weekend. I arrived in Atlanta (drove the 10 hours there by myself – pure happiness – during which I listened to entire discographies of artists on my ipod) on Friday and got up super early on Saturday to go stand in line. Fucking four hours later, my friends and I [...]
