Three years. Three years is the amount of time that fans have waited to hear the latest work from fallen Gorgoroth members Gaahl and King. After a vicious dispute over rights to the name Gorgoroth, a new love child rose from the ashes of battered metal music, God Seed. Gaahl and King formed a new project with material meant for their previous band. An album in the works since 2009. A lyricist who has no dedication to finishing a a product without the most sincere hint of perfection added. So can we, the fans, finally expect a finished project that has had our faces turned to the media for so many years? Why yes we can.  

Since 1985, Neurosis has been bringing a mixture of heavy metal, acoustic, and punk to our ears landing them a spot to stay in the doom metal scene. Jose Carlos Santos of Terrorizer has stated that Neurosis is “arguably the most influential band of the past two decades.” With a slough of ever changing members, two decades, and a rise to fame following their tour in the 90’s with Pantera, It’s no surprise that the release of Neurosis’ new album Honor Found In Decay is eagerly awaited worldwide.  

Massachusetts face-melters ACARO have been added to the Killswitch Engage Tenth Anniversary “Alive or Just Breathing” Tour with Shadows Fall. The band will fill the opening slot for one of 2012’s most anticipated tours that will see a Jesse Leach-fronted Killswitch Engage performing their classic Alive or Just Breathing in its entirety. Few bands have what it takes to rise to such an occasion, but Acaro’s aggressive brand of melodic and modern thrash will undoubtedly fire up audiences as the band bulldozes a path across the nation.  

Bona fide heavy metal front woman and activist OTEP Shamaya has rallied up the tribe and is ready to deliver the first LIVE album of her career, entitled Sounds Like Armageddon, out November 6th. If you haven’t had a chance to see her in action now is your time to hear her roar.  

New York vets DEHUMANIZED have set November 27th as the release date for their long-awaited return to action, Controlled Elite.  

It’s a rarity that one picks up a Stephen King novel, finishes it, and puts it down without feeling chilled to the bone. With no exception to the rule, “N”, leaves readers paranoid after the last page.  

Metallica today announced that they will release a live DVD entitled “Quebec Magnetic” on December 10, 2012. The DVD captures the two World Magnetic live shows which took place in Quebec City in the fall of 2009.  

Dark Descent Records has recently inked (in blood) a deal with London blackened death metal band Lvcifyre for the release of their as-of-yet-untitled sophomore full-length, which is due out in early 2013. The band commented:  

Kolumbarium, the latest slab of old school darkness from masters of Swedish Death Metal MORDBRAND is now available on vinyl 7″ from Deathgasm Records. MORDBRAND (Swedish for arson) offers two new deadly hymns to the rotten here and when that needle drops into the groove it’s the  putrid and unsettling atmosphere you’ll recognize immediately as 100 percent genuine Swedish-made Death!  

The U.S. death metal legend, Autopsy, who recently served up the five hour epic DVD, Born Undead, has checked in on the run up to the recording of the band’s sixth studio album, due for release on Peaceville mid-2013:  

Hey, even GWAR wear costumes to go Trick or Treating! Here’s GWAR on a pre-Halloween trick-or-treating excursion. The band went out to the suburbs of New Jersey to go trick-or-treating for the first time ever. GWAR got really into the holiday, even rocking costumes on top of costumes!  

Today we are bombarded with news of The first official trailer from the upcoming Iron Man 3 movie. So remember at the end of The Avengers movie, when we see Bruce Banner drive away with Tony Stark to what we assume was Stark Tower? Well, are we to assume that Banner is bunking at the tower while he gets his own pad? Check out the trailer for Iron Man 3 and ask yourself…are those Banners legs in the scene… post Hulk?
