One of the most highly anticipated tours would be the upcoming Coheed and Cambria headlining tour with Between the Buried and Me and Russian Circles. After the tour was rumored earlier this year I became extremely excited. Possibly too excited. Coheed and Cambria finally took to their Facebook to announce the full touring schedule. The tour will be in support of the band’s upcoming record The Afterman: Descension, which will be released on February 5th. Check out the dates below!!!

According to The PRP, a rumor is going around that Between the Buried and Me, Coheed and Cambria and Russian Circles will be touring together in early 2013.

How many of you hate your jobs? How many of you can listen to your music while working? Well fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), I can answer yes to both questions.
The following is a new segment in which I will give you a playlist based on the songs I find myself listening to over and over again while working. Originally I had planned to do this with full albums, but quickly realized I only listen to a handful of album. So in order to be less redundant I’ve decided to limit myself to ten songs a week. Continue reading to find out what songs I am annoying my co-workers with this week.

Russian Circles, who are currently on tour with Chelsea Wolfe and Marriages, have released the first of a three part video series that captures the band live in a studio setting. Entourage Studios in North Hollywood, California to be specific. I haven’t been into Russian Circles for very long, but this video (for the track “309″ off of Empros) is fucking sweet. Check it out below and stay tuned for the next two videos. Be sure to pick up Empros, available now via Sergeant House.

Salt Lake City’s own Eagle Twin, who are currently on tour with Gaza (see dates after the jump), are currently streaming a new track off of their forthcoming album The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale.

As a long time fan of Eagle Twin I have really been enjoying their new album in all of it’s disgusting goodness. You can stream the track below (courtesy of Guitar World) and weigh in in the comments section. Are you stoked for The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale? You should be.
The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale will be released later this month on Southern Lord Records. [Continue...]

This is my Best Albums of 2011 list. Some of these albums are not “metal” per se, but still amazing releases. As you may notice, I’m a fan of prog and grind and instrumental things.
I was fortunate enough to see/will be seeing all of these bands live this year (excluding 2, 6, 7, 14, 15 & 20), and all of these live performances blew my mind.
Haters gonna hate. – Maclyn
23. Thomas Giles – Pulse
22. Touché Amoré -Parting The Sea Between The Brightness and Me
21. Russian Circles – Empros
20. Rotten Sound – Cursed
