And now, this week’s top stories:

• We debuted new music from Prostitute Disfigurement.
• We took a look at some under-the-radar albums that will fuck your face off in 2014.
• We’re reasonably certain that At the Gates are making a new album.
• We learned about a new genre: RIDETHELIGHTNINGCORE.
• We found out that former Machine Head bassist Adam Duce is suing the band.
• We were stoked to learn that Cloudkicker will finally be making their live debut when they tour with TesseracT and Intronaut later this year.
• We were shocked to hear a new Black Label Society song that doesn’t feature any guitar squeals.
• We were even more shocked to learn that former Lostprophets vocalist and convinced sex offender Ian Waktins is appealing the length of his prison sentence.
• We were considerably less shocked to learn that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will be scoring David Fincher’s new cinematic adaptation of the bestseller, Gone Girl.
• We watched He-Man sing Mercyful Fate.
• We mourned the passing of Century Media co-founder Oliver Withöft.

Come Monday, Vince will be back from NAMM! But I’ll still be a loudmouth. Sorry. See ya then!!!
