Goatwhore
Now, we know what happened. According to a LimeWire review of the Massachusetts stop the day before, Goatwhore’s James Harvey suffered a massive hematoma on his leg.
It was caused by a sewing needle dude forgot he had in his pocket. Why did he have a sewing needle? Now, you need to explain that, James.

Wolverspent
Then, once they’re your new favorite band, you can go catch them on their first-ever major U.S. tour, which will feature various openers along the way, like Velnias, Locrian, Ehnahre, Javelina, Subrosa, and more.
Wolverspent will release their fourth full-length, Blood Seed on October 5.

Me wants
Unfortunately, I went on the Great Frog’s Web site and can’t find a place to order the fucker. So I have no idea how much the belt buckle will be, but I’m sure it will cost a pretty penny. Or a few trillion. And by the way, ladies — if you do get it for me, please make sure there’s a belt connected to it.
So why is this a big deal? There are only two of these belt buckles in existence, and at least one of them belongs to Bruce. The Great Frog, who specialize in custom jewelry and accessories, made the original, and will make some more. But not a whole lot more. Only 50.

All That Remains
Anyways, a lot of shit happened today that I’d like to cover, but none of it was so huge, it merited its own post. So here’s a collection of the days bullet items.
First up, Trap Them will begin tracking their next disc next week with Converge’s Kurt Ballou producing. The disc will be out next year, and the band claims that “there was a certain potential the members of this band felt had not yet been met. On this record, that potential has been fully realized. Get heavy, motherfuckers.” And Daath debuted a new track called “Destruction Restoration” over at MetalSucks. That album drops October 26.

She likes Wormrot
Yet another awesome tour has been delayed because of “visa bureaucracy,” according to Earache’s Digby Pearson. He claims the Wormrot tour won’t start until three days after it was supposed to.
Now, Wormrot’s tour will get underway September 6 in Cleveland, Ohio. The shows scheduled prior to Monday’s gig have been nixed. They were supposed to play New York tonight. That date will more than likely be rescheduled for right before the band has to head home. I was hoping to catch them fresh and rested. Now, they’ll be all exhausted and grumpy.

Entombed
Anyways, Entombed have shifted their lineup a touch. Bassist Nico Elgstrand is no longer playing bass, but has shifted to guitar, becoming the iconic band’s second guitarist. To take over on bass, they’ve enlisted for Satyricon members Victor Brandt. Now, they’re a five-piece. Isn’t that sweet.
I’m not sure what Entombed’s future plans are — whether there’s touring on the horizon or a new album. They do have touring plans for Europe, but nothing for the states any time soon. It’s been three years since the release of their last disc, Serpent Saints — The Ten Amendments.

CKY
Notice the band thanks Johnny Knoxville in the liners notes of every one of their releases. They know who they owe their career to.

Valdur
Valdur self-funded the effort, and now, they’re streaming a new track online that you should definitely check out if you’re into filthy, brutal black metal. The song, “Berserrker,” can be heard on Stereogum right now.

TesseracT
And I have to concede: They’re fucking amazing. They’re like Dredg crossed with Between The Buried and Me, or Porcupine Tree crossed with Thursday. That’s the best way I could describe it. They have a new EP coming out on October 12 and I will be first in line to get it when it drops. OK, maybe not first in line. But definitely in line.

She thinks Axl is a kind of lube
That summer, I learned the expression craic (pronounced “crack”), which — to the Irish — means fun, entertainment and just general joviality. At first, when people asked me if something I was great craic, I figured they wanted drugs. Anywho, I bring all of this bullshit about a time long gone because of Axl Rose.
Continuing his European melodrama tour, the Guns N’ Roses frontman is alleged — in a post on Blabbermouth — to have stormed off stage 30 minutes into the band’s set September 1 at the 02 Arena in Dublin. Axl bolted after a bottle was thrown up on stage, even after good ‘ole Axl warned them to behave like adults.
