As some of you know, a while back Killswitch Engage split with their second vocalist, Howard Jones. The split was fairly amicable, by all accounts, and the band moved on to recruit their first singer, Jesse Leach (Times of Grace), back into the fold of KSE. Now, after hearing nothing from Mr. Jones, we have a brand new band with a familiar face throwing some aggression at our listening holes: Devil You Know.  

Gypsyhawk will be hitting the road again this summer for a series of headlining shows, as well as shows with Black Pussy and Scattered Hamlet!

The confirmed list of dates is available at facebook.com/Gypsyhawkusa and below. Check out a video greeting with vocalist/bassist Eric Harris on the official Gypsyhawk youtube channel HERE.

Another great drop this week, in the vein of traditional metal or even New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), The Cult of the Vestal Claret, by the titular Vestal Claret, is repping the old school styles pretty hard. You have great base to build off, and they have that old rocking metal sound, with a doom and gloom message about that old tyme religion, devil worship. Fuzzy, dirty, and easy to remember. What’s not to love?!
