Did As Blood Runs Black ever come out with a new album yet? I used to follow them on Myspace, and they were in the studio almost a year ago to work on a new album.

This past month they picked up a new singer and a new rhythm guitarist (a chick), they are now in the studio with the new crew hammering out songs. I have hung out with the band a few times and they are all really cool guys, they used to crash at my apt. whenever they had gigs in San Antonio.

@ Nemesis - Did you ever download Black Dahlia Murder's video for "What a Horrible Night for a Curse" video on XBL? It was available for free a long time ago, right after Nocturnal came out, but it got taken down out of nowhere, right about the time I was telling all the metalheads I knew on XBL about it
@ SIC - Hell yeah man, I love a lot of Limbonic Art's stuff. People give them shit cause they use a lot of keyboards and a drum machine but I feel the same way Evol does--if the music's good, it's good. Pits of the Cold Beyond is still one of my favourite songs to this day. Check it out here - this is the song with a fan-made video.

No I didn't manage to DL the vid, but I have seen it countless times and can't help but laugh at the hair brush scene every time. All of the black dahlia murder dvd's are fantastic. After awhile of searching locally I found a copy of miasma and now my TBDM discography is complete.

This is a cross-post from the Music album review thread - check it out for some awesome metal reviews from BigZu and others.
ELUVEITIE - Slania (2008)
Strictly speaking, Eluveitie plays 'paegan metal', but it also fits into the larger sub-genre of 'folk metal'. What this means is that on top of the usual heavy drums & guitars and growled/yelled vocals, there is also some clean singing and a lot of music using traditional ethnic & classical instruments.
The vocals are mixed nicely, lower than most of the music but still discernable. This lets the varied & eclectic instrumentation shine. Eluveitie uses fiddles, flutes, mandolins, and the awesome hurdy gurdy to add an extra dimension to their songs. There are even some brief but well-done female vocals. The actual structure and note usage implies a Celtic and perhaps Gaelic influence, though the band is from Switzerland.
The more 'metal' moments of the band on this album are mostly either the fast, blast beat variety or slower, more groove-heavy passages. Only about 1/4 of the CD is very fast or heavy, and on these tracks the ethnic instruments take a backseat and accentuate the music rather than take the lead as they do on others. There are also 4 really good instrumental tracks here, including the intro which does an awesome job setting the tone for the rest of the album. The CD booklet includes all lyrics as well as notes detailing the story behind the songs and some of the history.
If you like heavy music but can appreciate some diverse instrumentation, I thoroughly recommend this album. The only reason I don't call it a 10/10 is because, while the hurdy gurdy and fiddle and all are a pleasant surprise and well-executed, the actual "metal" here is very by-the-books and hopefully their next album will contain more dynamic heaviness that will match the killer flute solos.
Score: 9 / 10
Songs to listen to:
Inis Mona (official video clip)
Slanias Song (live video)

January 21, there's a metal track pack coming for Guitar Hero 5. I don't know the pricing yet, but it will contain:
Shadows Fall - "Still I Rise"
Amon Amarth - "Twilight of the Thunder God"
Dethklok - "Laser Canon Deth Sentence"
I'm assuming that like most other DLC tracks, these can also be imported for play in GHWT and Band Hero. I'm not a big Shadows Fall fan but that song should be fun to play. More Dethklok is always good, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see Amon Amarth getting some music game love. Viking metal ftmfw!
You can also still grab the free Ferret/Metal Blade that originally came out for GHWT but can be imported into GH5 and Band Hero. It contains:
Chimaira - "Broken Glass"
The Devil Wears Prada - "Dez Moines"
Unearth - "Grave of Opportunity"
I'm not a big fan of any of those but all 3 tracks are fun and help to round out the modern GH's metal stuff which has been lacking since GH3. Plus, it's hard to argue with free.

Any of you guys heard Torsofuck out of Finland? It's groovy death-grind. Sounds kind of like Mortician without the horror movie samples. The best part though are their song titles and lyrics, they are LOFLx2.
Observe:
Torsofuck - Raped by Elephants from the album Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy.
This is them playing it live in Austria.
