In Philly the St. Vitus show is the same day as Bad Religion.
I love Bad Religion but I think I gotta go for the old doom guys over the old punk guys.

Bad Religion is one of my fav live bands but theyll be around til theyre 75. Vitus.

Okay this new Hammers of Misfortune is pretty dope. I'm not a prog metal guy really but they do a great job of making it sound like 1970s prog mixed with early thrash metal which is fuckin awesome.

Yeah, I saw them a few years ago, with Wino, opening for Down. I was amazed how good they were, especially since I've never been a huge fan - I love a few songs, but can never make it through a whole album. But live, they were fantastic.

For sure, but that's an issue with a lot of modern metal in a lot of genres (there are a ton of hacky thrash shouters/screechers right now for instance). It's really hard to get me to like clean singing so when a dude lays back a little bit it at least doesn't bother me.

Only two weeks until the new Asphyx Incoming Death comes out. At this point there are no original members left, but they'll probably sound exactly like they always do. There's also a US tour coming in April.
They put up one of the short uptempo tunes as a teaser:

Black Sabbath's Paranoid is being reissued as a 4CD "Super Deluxe Edition" in November - it includes the 2012 remaster, a 1974 quadraphonic mix (that's been "folded down to stereo," which seems like it would kinda defeat the purpose to me), and two full live shows from 1970, one widely bootlegged but newly remastered from original tapes and one never before released. Full details in the Rolling Reissues thread.

Apparently Nahash have been laboring away in Lithuania for more than 20 years without producing a full length album? And now they have, and I think it's pretty keen. Black metal with lots of fast palm mute chugging over stately, sometimes vaguely classical-feeling melodies largely established by string/dense choral arrangements. A few soundscape interludes help establish a sense of spaciousness, a handful of show-offy leads demonstrate proggy chops, and there are a few thornier bits on offer (the end of "March Funebre" has a 4-note "solo" that's positively Slint-y).
