Welcome to a pretty slow week. Only one I am interested in this week and there aren’t a ton of others coming out. Hopefully next week will bring us more. However, it might be a good week to catch up on earlier releases as I am sure that is what I will be doing. My choices are in Blue. Let me know if there is anything you are interested in as well.
- Breaking Benjamin – Ember – (Hollywood Records): We thought the band was over in 2009, but it returned in 2015 although it wasn’t the original band, just the singer. Didn’t matter, it was the singer I always liked so glad to hear some new music from him. This time the new band was involved in the writing so hopefully will add a new layer to the band. We will see…or hear I guess.
- Metallica – The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited – (Blackened Recordings):
- Pentatonix – PTX Presents: Top Pop Vol. 1 – (RCA)
- Bonfire – Temple of Lies – (AFM Records)
- Jason Aldean – Rearview Town – (Macon Music LLC)
- Andy Gibb – The Very Best Of – (Capitol Records)
- Behemoth – Messe Noire: Live Satanists – (Metal Blade Records)
- Beth Hart – Front and Center (Live from New York) – (Mascot Label Group)
- John Prine – The Tree of Forgiveness – (Oh Boy Records)
Behemoth is a possible but I’m not in a hurry to pick it up. Bought too much this month already.

I am in the same boat. I have bought way too much lately and Record Store Day is coming up so I am saving for that day.

There isn’t a ton of stuff I am interested in, but I got to have the Def Leppard Live EP and I would love to get my hands on another Bowie Live album. Stacked Actor from last year is one of my favorite live albums I own.

I got that one too, it’s brilliant. If I’d known it was going to come out on CD I’d just have waited for that though… So I think I’ll just hold off this year.

The vinyl is a nicer set but… I usually just get CDs if I can.

I should be into the Behemoth as I will be seeing them in concert next month (opening on the Slayer farewell tour, amongst other bands too), but the John Prine interests me the most! The Metallica, well, sure.
I have my pennies saved up for the pre-order of the new Stephen Malkmus in May, too. That’s a definite!

Cool on the Slayer show. Should be great.
I am sure May can’t get here fast enough for you.

Yeah it’s gonna be great. I have the day of the show AND the day afterwards off from work, we’re gonna crash in Toronto that night, record shop the next day… Life is sweet! The show’s listed as Behemoth, Anthrax, Testament, Lamb Of God and SLAYER! \m/ \m/ so it’ll be one helluva brutal afternoon/evening of metal. So awesome.
