This cold weather is really depressing me. What's more depressing is it's only October. I can only imagine how terrible it will get in December. Thankfully, Winds of Plague is looking to keep me warm and active (in the mosh pit, natch) as they announced a new headlining tour for late November/early December. They will [...]

We sent old-school death metal fan James Zalucky to the NY stop of the Summer Slaughter tour to get an old school fan's perspective on what is mostly a new-school metal tour. The following is his report from the pit, not to be confused with Rob's recap from the pot-laced backstage area. I went to [...]
