After having Kyle for a second straight time last week, he went AWOL again and your stuck with Brian taking the wheel and Nick riding shotgun. Your two faithful hosts steer you through a new batch of album reviews and a discussion on trailblazing move Earache Records made this week. Oh, and we also go over the tiny news story you may of missed that involves Tim Lambesis allegedly hiring a hitman to murder his wife. Fucking crazy, right!?
Reviews: Heaven Shall Burn – Veto (Century Media); Negator – Gates to Pantheon (Prosthetic); Starkill – Fires of Life (Century Media); 40 Below Summer – Fire at Zero Gravity (independent)

40 Below Summer – Fire At Zero Gravity
Yeah, a few releases aside…Dillinger Escape Plan, Dark Tranquillity, HSB…this is a slower month for things I even remotely care about. I am trying to enjoy it the same way. At the same time, we do have to find things to put on the show, so I/we don’t get quite the break you do. – B
The releases this week don’t seem very inspiring to me. I think I’ll go and listen to The Ocean again. And since you guys talked about Amon Amarth the past two weeks I also want to listen to some of their stuff again.
Wow. These must really not have grabbed you at all…I think this is the shortest comment you have left! Ha ha. – B
Yeah, you went through a stretch of several weeks where I had listened to an album before hearing your review of it, so that gave me plenty of things to comment on. But this past week, I had nothing of the sort as it seemed to be a light week for releases. Which I’m not complaining about because that’s never a bad thing because I have TONS of older stuff I want to listen to. That plus some of the longer, proggier (if that’s a word) stuff takes time to sink in (such as The Ocean).
