US metallers Dissona have announced via their Facebook page that they were invited by Leprous to join them for a show at Reggie's in Chicago. In the same post, they also announced that they were still working on new material and plan on premiering two new songs at their next several shows. Dissona have been working on material since late 2013 and it seems to be a slow moving process. We'll have to wait and see if 2014 will provide us with a new album, or if their heavy volume of shows will push the writing process into next year. (by MeloDeathViking) Read more ›› |

I was out of town two years ago when Agalloch played in Denver the last time, so when I first saw that they were scheduled to play at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, CO (a suburb of Denver) I was actually rather surprised. Are they really that big? Would the thousand plus capacity venue be largely empty? (by D.T. Metal) Read more ›› |

"A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness." - Edith Wharton

KMFDM
When they moved to the United States in the early 90s, the music press had a lot of problems with them and made up a number of things about the band. Most notoriously, the meaning of the band's name was constantly debated and a theory that all of the band's releases are titled using 5 letter words emerged.
To mock the press, the band made a contest for the most innovative meaning of the acronym KMFDM and indeed started naming their albums using solely 5 letter words (and even changing the spelling of words and inventing symbols to keep up this tradition). "Hau Ruck" (2005) was the first album since "Don't Blow Your Top" that did not have a 5 letter title.
