Upcoming Reviews!

Because of a lot of shit going on, I haven't had much time or energy for doing one of my favorite hobbies, writing shit about music. So since I built up the motivation for the first time in over a month to write another album review just now (the Fleshgod one), I'm going to attempt to keep myself going by writing a list of bands that I want to review, with the hopes that it will be less than a week before my next review (you have no idea how fucking behind I am). Most of these are of new releases, but I'm throwing in some old albums I want to review just cause...idk fuck logic. Soooooo yeah here they are:

Born of Osiris (deathcore)
Amorphis (progressive death)
Ramming Speed (thrash metal)
Turisas (folk metal)
Suicidal Causticity (brutal death)
ReVamp (symphonic metal)
Battlecross (thrash death)
Pathology (brutal death)
Fit for an Autopsy (deathcore)
Dodsferd (black metal)
I See Stars (screamo)
Castevet (progressive black)
Trivium (metalcore)
Thy Light (depressive black metal)
Antigama (grindcore)
Drudkh (black metal)
Inquisition (black metal)
Sevendust (nu metal)
Marduk (black death)
Absent Heat (depressive black metal)

And of course if you have any particular review requests you can feel free to either click the above tab and send me an email or just leave a comment on this (or any) post and I'll be sure to let you know when I read it.
[10/10: I changed the list around a bit because of all the new music I obtained today]

Where am I?

Where have I been for the past month?? I have been getting all of my school shit done so that I can graduate high school next week on June 7th!! Rest assured, I have still been very active on listening to music, jamming new shit by Ghost, Suffocation, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Napalm Death, Queens of the Stone Age, Dark Tranquillity, Boris, and many others. I've been to a ton of shows lately including Boris (the Japanese drone/progressive rock trio with the chick guitarist), The Decibel Magazine Tour which is probably the most brutal and insane tour of 2013 (sorry Summer Slaughter, you failed on the brutality factor this time) with Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Immolation, and Cretin...Kvelertak with Cancer Bats, Black Tusk, and Crop, and maybe one or two other shows. This summer, I have already got my tickets for The Summer Slaughter Tour and, yes, Black Sabbath!

Once graduation is over and I've found a job, I will be reviewing like mad. Yes, some of the "new" albums I will be reviewing will not be as new as they were before (duh), so you can just suck it if that bothers you. Other than that, I'm excited to be getting back into writing and will be posting a review of my favorite search engine which has majorly revamped their site and given it a complete makeover. In other words, it's a lot better and I will be discussing that and providing super-awesome screenshots.

Google+

I feel like I'm being forced to give-in to this online social networking thing more and more each day. I just created a Google+ account and hooked it up to my blog. So if you're one of the 3 or so people that are actually on Google+ you should "follow" me or whatever you guys like to do. First Twitter, now this..damn...oh, I also have a big surprise for you guys starting in early January ;) so stay tuned. Once I'm on winter break, I'm going to start posting a shitload of more album reviews (goddamnit school). After that, I'm going to do what all of the other webzines/bloggers are doing out there and put together my personal "best albums of 2012" list.

New Partner in Crime

Announcement:
I will now be working as one of the reviewers for the metal webzine Teeth of the Divine! Here's the thing: when I write reviews for them, I can't post the whole review on here like I do with other sites, I will be posting a clip from the review followed by a link to the full review on the Teeth of the Divine website. So far, the people on there seem to not be total assholes and know what they're talking about.
You can find their website by clicking on their link in the right-hand column under "Partners in Crime".

Looks like I got home a day early. Well although I might not be writing any reviews for at least two days, I feel that it's now time for another upcoming reviews list. Any of the bands that will be reviews on NEW (or newest) albums are marked with an *:

The reason why this list is extra long is because I won't be making "upcoming reviews" posts as often anymore. I'm going to be making them like....every two or three weeks, possibly even just monthly. But once I at least knock out all but two of these, I'll post another one.

And I apologize for taking so long on The Contortionist review. It's on their new album (I've already done one on their first album, Exoplanet) and the music is just so fucking complex that it's taking me longer than normal to soak it all in and dissect it and whatnot. So I will try my best to possibly have it up by next weekend!
