Posted by Chris Harris on July 15, 2011 in New Records, News

And there it is. Wow, dudes and ladies. That’s a fucking rad-ass album cover. It’s so evil, it might be tattoo-worthy. Not that I’d get that extensive an image, and specific an image, on my body.

The song isn’t half bad. It isn’t half good either. It just sort of happens. Matt Heafy’s taking something of a different vocal approach here, Read More
