Chris Arp guitarist of the extremely missed band Psyopus, recently sat down and made a series of video posts about the bands struggle to make their latest (last?) album Odd Senses. It’s a five-part blog that goes fairly in-depth about all the problems the band faced leading up to the recording of Odd Senses and eventual hiatus. Arpmandude basically is Psyopus and it’s not hard to understand why the band is on hiatus after viewing these.
I can only hope that one day soon Psyopus makes its triumphant return to sonically raping tech metal fans. Continue below to watch all five parts.

I am probably overly excited about the upcoming Wolves In The Throne Room album. I absolutely love this band and I have a feeling that this album will have a lot to offer fans new and old. I don’t know why I feel this, exactly, probably just my hopes. The band revealed the album art for their upcoming album Celestial Lineage as well as the track listing. Yes! The album art looks terrific. It obviously has that WITTR vibe to it. You can check out the album art at the top of this page and the track listing after the jump. Unfortunately we haven’t gotten a taste of new material yet, we only have to wait until September 13th. Sickness.
I let Hail! Hornet slip past me a while back. I’m not sure how or why I let something that involves “Dixie” Dave Collins of Weedeater and Troy Medlin of Sourvein. I mean, I love both of those bands. Does someone want to tell me why this was never pointed out to me? I mean, this just isn’t fair. I can’t find stuff if no one brings it up. I really had no idea what this was when it showed up in my promo list, but as I looked into it, I found out that ex-members of King Travolta and Sourvein had teamed up with the voice of Sourvein and the head honcho of Weedeater/Buzzov•en back in 2006. What the fuck? Really? I should have been told about this long ago. But no! No one wanted Gnarly to know about this. I had to find out on my own. I can understand why I never heard the first album, it came out on a label that, as far as I can tell, only released one other album that I know (Soilent Green’s Pussy Soul) but I guess there is no excuse for me not knowing about Hail! Hornet’s Relapse Records debut Disperse The Curse. I guess I didn’t surf enough sludge blogs or pay enough attention to the press releases. So I guess it is my fault. That sucks, well, now I know about them, and I am fucking ecstatic. It’s really a killer record and it should be enjoyed by all. If you are a lover of sludge, please go and get this beast. I haven’t gotten a chance to review it yet, but I will try to get to that as soon as I can. Disperse The Curse came out last Tuesday (July 19th). Check out a new track after the jump.
