Nuclear Blast has been surprising me lately with their signings. But really, this one should come as no surprise. It is certainly a smart move, and one driven, I am sure, by the fact that the label now employs Soulfly’s former Roadrunner A&R guy. Soulfly have left Roadrunner, and inked a new deal with Nuclear Read More
I know it’s not breaking fucking news, but Arsis did release a lyric video today. You can see that video at the end of this post. If you want.

Hear it at the end of this post, you fucking lunatic. The song is called “Long Live The Misanthrope,” and I gotta say…after releasing a few duds there, I’m thinking this new Soilwork will be the very definition of “redemption.” Soilwork’s ninth studio album and first dual-disc release, The Living Infinite, drops February 27 in Read More
