A Few Things On This Last Day Of February 2009

Holt crap! One down, 10 to go already. I have a feeling this year is going to fly by faster than 2008. Today I’m supposed to be in Atlanta Georgia covering Scion Rock Fest. Due to my desire to move back to upstate NY I have decided that I need to save some money for the big move and going to Scion Rock Fest would put a big dent in my savings.

Lamb Of God

• The new album is out and in case you haven;t picked it up yet, spend the extra dollar and buy the deluxe edition that comes with “The Studio Experience”. The Studio Experience is just like the Sacrament tour edition that comes with the individual tracks to play with on various recording programs. Have fun with it.
• Some of the Escape The Plague codes didn’t make to the CD’s. LOG left this message:
  • If your copy of the album didn’t include a code, please email us at escapetheplague@hotmail.com along with your full name, city, state, the store and which version you purchased and we will supply you with a replacement code.
• The latest edition of Revolver Magazine has a great read on lamb OF God and a lot of other content in it worth spending a few bucks on it.
• Enter my No Fear Contest for a Chance to win some No Fear gear and the new Lamb Of God. Follow the link in that post to find out how you can win trip to see Lamb Of God anywhere they stop on the No Fear Tour.

God Forbid

• I can’t get over how much I love this new Earthsblood album. You can save a few bucks by checking to see if your local Wal Mart is carrying it. I got mine for 9 bucks there. It also comes with a live cd from The Starland Ballroom in NJ. Don’t think I’m kissing these guys asses for whatever reason, this album is just that good in my opinion. I have no affiliation with God Forbid or Century Media.

Mastodon

• I’m kind of upset because I’m going to miss Mastodon at Scion Rock Fest. The new album is an amazing progress and it’s just what they said it is, more of a classic rock feel, but in a great Mastodon way. After hearing it I decided that I haven’t heard nearly enough Mastodon so I downloaded Leviathan, Remission and Call Of The Mastodon on iTunes. I probably could have used that money for Scion, but damn. I have Blood Mountain and just never got around to giving the other album a good listen. I’ve tried before but I have to stop sampling from listening stations in FYE because they really suck and don’t give you a good feel for the music. I’ve been missing out on these great Mastodon albums. I’ll get more in to Crack The Skye closer to the release date.
• Enter the Mastodon contest for a chance to win a Gibson guitar and other cool prizes.

Lastly

• Exodus. If you’re in to old school thrash metal and you’ve never listened to Exodus Bonded By Blood…SHAME ON YOU!
