Ektomorf go soft

Hungarian Sepultura Ektomorf will be releasing a special acoustic album on February 17, with an amazingly original title, The Acoustic. Protip guys, only three days and you could have made Valentine’s Day — if you need more marketing expertise contact me.

Either way, you can listen to Sea of My Misery above, and you can see the album cover after the jump.

Chris Barnes is sneaky

Chris Barnes talked about the new Six Feet Under album, and this is what he had to say:

It’s the best album I’ve written in a long time.

Considering the fact that their last album, Death Rituals, came out in 2008, I can also add that it’s also the only album he’s written in a fairly long time.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Six Feet Under now features a good portion of former Chimaira members (Rob Arnold on guitar, Matt DeVries on bass and Kevin Talley on drums) and we’re really interested to hear what they come up with.

Randy Blythe posts his first presidential campaign ad

#YESHECAN

In case you missed the big news, Randy Blythe (the singer for Lamb of God) wants to run for president. Like, for real. This is his first campaign ad which he self-produced.

The only thing left to announce is his running mate, and I’m placing my bets on Fred Durst, y’all.

OMG Sikth got themselves a Facebook page!11!

Is it a slow Saturday, or what? No, the news actually is that — Sikth SikTh registered a Facebook page FacEboOk paGe.

The reason it’s news is that the band doesn’t exist anymore. According to the info on the page, they’re only meeting the demand for official merchandise, but they left the opportunity for a reunion open.

And yes, theres un finished business. We will be back! We all feel a collective rage at the lack of uniqueness in Metal and feel we still offer something important. We are also confident that we haven’t reached our ‘St Anger’ stage of losing all perspective yet ;-). But a reunion won’t happen for a while!

Haha, they even dropped St. Anger in there, kudos. Make sure to check out their page, maybe buy some merch, who knows, if they sell enough shirts they might make the reunion a real deal after all.

My ears are broken

It’s the trailer for a new Evanescence video! I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that’s it’s a new Evanescence video, or the fact that it’s a fucking trailer for a two and a half minute clip. Your call.
