So. You may have noticed that things have slowed down around here recently. If you haven't, you're not paying attention. We won't bore you with the rather, uh, boring details as to why, but suffice it to say that we're back at something close to full strength now. In the coming months, things will be tweaked and adjusted, old columns will die and new ones will emerge, we might even see a total makeover! But, most importantly, we're still here and we ain't going anywhere.
Down to business... We missed a few weeks of new releases, so let's round up the good 'uns here. Boris' Smile is finally available on wax (a proper review of that will be forthcoming, along with a few other much-overdue reviews) and Fucked Up's Year Of The Pig came out on Matador (review here).
Tomorrow, check out Ceremony's Still, Nothing Moves You (fucking punk rawk!) or Krisiun's Southern Storm (brutal Brazilians). Oh, and the new Zozobra (Caleb Scofield, Cave In) is out tomorrow Really, Cave In should just get back together. Clouds, Zozobra, both decent. Stove Bredsky? Not a clue... But remember that lost Cave In track MetalSucks posted (re-posted below) back in June? Yeah, Cave In should really get back together...

Mix some Isis, Cave In, Converge, Zozobra and you’ll get the rarely-seen-live super group of sorts, Old Man Gloom. I’m sure all of you readers are familiar with this band to a degree, but if you’re like me you anticipate a chance to catch the magic live. I was super excited about them hitting the West Coast earlier this year for what would have been their 10th live appearance and more, but then it was canceled and my parade was rained on. But I got love for you Old Man Gloom and now I got this entire set to watch until you guys give it one more go on the road. Pretty please?
