		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sitting in front of the computer for the past hour listening to In Mourning&#8217;s upcoming sophomore album, Monolith, and I&#8217;m once again impressed by the band (and yes, I&#8217;ve had a bit o&#8217; the green).  Monolith is a slick blend of straight up brutal death, melodic death, and progressive.  I hate comparing a band to Opeth (everyone compares every death metal band to Opeth), but the  similarities are unmistakable.  They&#8217;ve got a great groove, plenty of chugging, death metal/black metal growls, and healthy portions of progressiveness and melody.  The thing is, they don&#8217;t come off as a blatant rip off of Opeth (not that that&#8217;d necessarily be a bad thing).  The band mixes it up a bit by conjouring a bit of Gothenburg (think Dark Tranquillity) coupled with atmosphere a la Insomnium.
The album unfortunately starts off a bit on the wrong foot when Tobais (lead singer/guitarist) ops ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;.and it&#8217;s GOOD.
When Arsis released &#8220;We are the Nightmare&#8221;, I stopped liking them.  In all reality, the album was great, but it was just way too technical for me.  Every time I listened to it, I had to mellow out and smoke a bowl, because otherwise I&#8217;d have a friggin&#8217; seizure.  I&#8217;m all for virtuosity, but Darren Cesca was completely overboard on the album.  Every single song featured a ridiculous amount of polyrhythmic, assymetrical, incongruent, ass-backwards, blast-beat infected drumming; so much so, that it made it unlistenable for me.  Anyways, Darren&#8217;s gone now, and original drummer Mike VanDyne is back.  Anyways, check out &#8220;Beyond Forlorn&#8221; from the new album:

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve heard Oakland band All Shall Perish (deathcore done right, in my opinion), you know that these guys are just about as technical as bands get these days.  When I heard that renowned shredder Chris Storey parted ways with the band, I immediately thought the band was done for.  Recently they replaced him with a kid who probably grew his first pubes not too long ago (I believe he&#8217;s 17) named Jason Richardson.  I didn&#8217;t think the kid would be able to pull it off, but after scouring youtube&#8230; I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s going to be having any problems:
