Flooded by news

Today I decided that I should finally install some RSS reader so that I can follow metal (and other) news. I did as I decided. And what did I get to know?

Among huge pile of other news, which I did not yet go through, I found a very interesting (for me) info from yesterday - Anthrax has officially returned to the studio! They're recording a new album, planned for release in 2015 by Megaforce. New album, a follow up of 2011's "Worship Music" which I really enjoyed, is not even titled yet, but I already anticipate it. And the tour of course, for I expect to see them again here!

With a warm-hearted dedication to my karaoke loving friends - I'm "Antisocial".

Europe in the Blood

Looks like Annihilator will be around next year!

Tour dates for 2015 tour around Europe were anounced. Tour includes a show in my city so I'll surely be there! Too bad it's in fall next year...

Concert news!

Good news - Knock Out Productions just announced that Testament will visit Poland for two shows in June. They're playing in my city on 3.06.

I don't yet know if I'll be there 'cause one of festivals I'm thinking about, Out and Loud, starts on 4.06 and it's quite far away so I would have a little problem to get there on time. But hell yeah, I don't care, they're playing on both festivals that are at the top of my list for this year's summer so I'll see them either way. Even if I'll be a little sad that I won't see them in that small venue near the place I live...

In case I end up on any other festival in any other term - Fabryka club in Krakow is the place I'll be on 3.06 next year. Who's coming with me?

Mega change

It's not a new information. This was announced more than a week ago but, hell, I still wonder about it.

Within few hours half of the members of my all-time #2 band announced in separate statements that they leave. Shawn Drover and Chris Broderick left Megadeth.

I don't want to analyse if there is something behind "due to artistic and musical differences" or "to pursue my own musical interests" reasons usually stated in situations like that. These are the official statements and if there were conflicts or anything else, I assume it's a private thing. I only wonder what now about one of my favourite bands.

Good news is that according to Dave Ellefson's words the band will continue to work on material for their next release and they are "looking at all the options, of which there are many." [source: blabbermouth.net]. I'm really curious what those options will eventually turn out to be as well as what will both ex-members do now after quitting Megadeth. Especially Chris Broderick who is one of my favourite guitarists. You can be 100% sure I will comment when I hear about it!
