]]> Here are a few figures to show how ass-backwards things are.

All That Remains Overcome All That Remains’ Overcome lands on the Billboard 200 at #16 with just under 29,000 CD’s sold. Although that’s cool and everything…

Buckcherry’s Black Butterfly sold almost 47,000 and laded at #8. BUCK-FRIGGIN-CHERRY?!? What the hell is wrong in this world?

Taproot’s Our Long Road Home sold almost 7,700 copies and landed at #65. I’m not a long time fan of Taproot, but this is a pretty cool Rock album.

buck cherry black butterfly All Shall Perish sold slightly under 5000 copies of Awaken The Dreamers and landed at #126

Does this mean that Buck Cherry is better than the others mentioned? I don’t think so. I mean seriously, how many people here would choose BuckCherry over All That Remains?

]]> All That Remains anticipated 4 album ‘Overcome‘ hits stores today. I highly recommend giving this a listen.

Relapse Records artist Burst releases Lazarus Bird today. Metalsucks.net says it you should listen to them because “They are F*cking Awesome…”

All Shall Perish release Awaken The Dreamer via Nuclear Blast

Obituary release a new Ep today through Candle Light records called Left To Die.

And if you’re into the Hard/Alt-rock, Taproot release a new record today as well  called Our long Road Home. It’s a really good record for their genre. That is being released via Velvet Hammer and Red music.

]]> Hatebreed Live Dominance I was trying to go to the Lunatic Luau this coming Saturday, but I decided with this hurricane moving up the coast that it wasn’t a good idea. Well word is spreading that it was canceled and I just checked the Livenation site to confirm and unfortunately for a lot of people it has been canceled. No word yet as to if or when they might reschedule this. Below is a list of bands that were to play the Luau. BUT WAIT!!! Just in from Hatebreed’s Myspace: If you’re in the VA Beach Area you can still see Hatebreed at ‘Steppin Out’ at 600 Nevan Rd.VA Beach, VA 23451 w/ Arsis and more.

Fortunately tonight’s Hatebreed show in Richmond and Sunday’s show in Raleigh with Emmure, Soilent Green, War Of Ages and Catalepsy. I’ll be there Sunday night so keep an eye out for pictures and a review on Monday!
