A BIG TUESDAY FOR NEW RELEASES: KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SUICIDE SILENCE AND MORE
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 at 4:01pm by Vince Neilstein
Haven’t done one of these posts in a while because, well, there hasn’t been a Tuesday this important in quite some time. The following albums are available for legal, legit purchasing today:
- Killswitch Engage – Killswitch Engage: The band everyone hates to love or loves to hate. Prediction: this record goes Top 10 first week, possibly even Top 5.
- Suicide Silence – No Time to Bleed: Deathcore upstarts attempt to [suicide] silence the naysayers with their second Century Media full-length. This writer thinks they’ve done it.
- Obituary – Darkest Days: O.G. death metallers return with their eighth full-length.
- Ex Deo – Romulus: Roman-themed metal helmed by Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono. We think the tunes are solid and the music video is beyond epic.
Oh hey look, rock’s resident asshole Ted Nugent also has a CD/DVD out today! Killer! Psych.
If you’ve already heard these albums tells us what you think of them in the comments. We’ll report the sales figures for all of these albums as soon as we get them in next Wednesday. In the meantime, go n’ buy some music so some broke-ass dudes can eat! Except Ted Nugent, unless you want your money to go straight to the NRA.

When news of 



And now for something completely different…

Just a few hours before Chimaira hit the stage for the second date of their current tour, guitarist Rob Arnold was telling us* that the first night in Norfolk, VA had been plagued with technical difficulties, and that the ensuing show was, as a result, “terrible.” The poor dude must’ve been pissed then, when literally two notes into the first song of Chimaira’s set, the fire alarms at the Blender Theater (a.k.a. The Gramercy) here in NYC went off and shut down the band’s entire show before it even got started.
