As I Lay Dying - Now THE ENTIRE BAND has left, minus long time guitar player Phil Sgrosso. And even THAT is questionable. This has caused the band to pull out of their EU tour, and might affect their upcoming album release.
PLUS
It gets better… the reunion album, Shaped By Fire, has now been pulled from streaming.
New Music/Video
Tom Green - Det Er Done Tonight https://youtu.be/FpUfgGgU0hY Why is he just good at being so dang entertaining?
Vera Farmiga - The Yagas - The Crying Room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ4mh3uNw48&pp=ygUVdmVyYSBmYXJtaWdhIG5ldyBzb25n not bad… very atmospheric.
Filth - Opp Stoppers https://youtu.be/DUl3DPXdCBY THIS feels like a more appropriate successor to the “Modern NU Metal” title.
Venamoris - Spiderweb https://youtu.be/mjA_zqAm3KQ Dave Lombardo new project with his wife Paula. Weird reverb heavy drum mix, considering who is playing those drums. Kind of a trip-hop vibe.
Avenged Sevenfold - Halloween https://youtu.be/wD1YX_olRj8 Acoustic??? Shadows does an interesting vocal performance too… very much NOT expected on either front. The vocals leave something to be desired.
Skulls https://youtu.be/4Bthu4MXSOM Somehow the vocals are better here. THIS is more of what a Misfits cover should sound like. Almost Tiger Army-esque.
The Halo Effect - March of the Unheard https://youtu.be/9ZG2matuCUM Former In Flames. 2 minutes of an almost 5 min song as intro though? Vocals feel like they belong in a different song.
Linkin Park - Over Each Other https://youtu.be/fSHoePrnmMw Teenage angst center-stage again.

Primus - Drummer Tim Alexander quits the band. This is not the first time, first in 96, then again in 2010. The band was informed via email 2 weeks-ish ago on the 17th. Going forward at this point they will utilize members from Claypool’s other projects in Holy Mackerel and Frog Brigade. Alexander cites a lack of passion for playing music…
Upon a Burning Body - canceled the rest of their tour with Mushroomhead, including a solo headlining show in Kentucky on Oct 27. It seems their guitar player had a family emergency.
Suggests
Misfits - Legacy of Brutality
One of the CLASSIC all-time punk records. Maybe not their highest profile album, but the one that gave us “Halloween” and that’s worth a LOT.
STAND OUT TRACKS: Halloween, American Nightmare, Some Kinda Hate, Who Killed Marilyn.

Instagram - Video quality is being decreased on less popular videos. If your video doesn’t reach a certain popularity over a given amount of time, then it will stream at a lower quality than you uploaded. If it should pick up in popularity, the quality will be returned.
Valve - in a rare show of understanding. Valve has announced that they will NOT be releasing yearly iterations of their hardware, to be fair to gamers. In an interview Valve designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat, said that they will instead wait for a “generation leap” before releasing new hardware.
