There have been
strange things afoot this summer in the metal world, whether
you are keeping up with the latest prison watch involving
the lead singer of Lamb of God, pregnancies splitting up
bands, or the CroMags stabbing each other at reunion shows,
something about the heat makes people insane. In Texas we
are used to both - the heat and the crazy people.
I never understood why all of the big metal festivals happen
during the worst time of year to be outside. I know some
human beings thrive in the 100+ degree weather, and I hate
them. I choose to hole up with my Xbox and a good soundtrack
and hide until October.
Metal bloggers have been running with a best of the year so
far lately, but honestly that is too much work, and I don’t
even know month it is. So I pulled down some good old
classics like The Crown, Death Angel and Iron Maiden, with
some of the best new releases of this last month from Down,
Testament and Nachtmystium.
