Just listened to one of the best albums of the year! The new #fallujah release #dreamless proves that Fallujah is growing as a band. To quote myself: "In short, Fallujah isn't just a tree bark in the ground but rather an ever-expanding tree whose branches are reaching out to lengths unknown. With devoted fans, Dreamless is an embodiment of a band that continues to evoke vehemence amongst their listeners."

I reviewed the new @abortedmetal album "Retrogore." To quote myself: "I’m happy to say Retrogore is brutally delightful. Going from a seizure of solos to somber tones, Aborted keeps things as fresh as murder itself."

And for the final interview from @70000tons! I interview Jonas and Anders from #Bloodbath and #Katatonia! Bloodbath was the band I was anticipating most on the cruise so this interview was a big deal for me. We discussed the cruise, their plans for Bloodbath and the new Katatonia album.

One of the bands I anticipated seeing on @70000tons was #atthegates and it was an honor to be able to speak to Tomas! In the interview we discussed the cruise, their touring for 2016 and his thoughts on the band's progression since their reunion.
