Basically, you go there, search for a particular album or band and it collects information from all over the interwebz regarding prices from different websites. It's a good way to track down some hard to find stuff and also to make sure you're not getting ripped.
Nevermore To Enter Studio In August Seattle metallers NEVERMORE will enter the studio in August with producer (and SOILWORK guitarist) Peter Wichers (who previously worked with NEVERMORE vocalist Warrel Dane on Dane's solo debut, "Praises to the War Machine") to begin recording their long-awaited follow-up to 2005's "This Godless Endeavor", tentatively due in early 2010 via Century Media Records. Longtime friend and collaborator Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS, MACHINE HEAD) will once again be handling mixing duties.
Commented Dane: "These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy will result in something very, very special."
Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Emptiness Unobstructed" and "Without Morals".
NEVERMORE's "The Year Of The Voyager" DVD last year entered the German DVD chart at position No. 82.
"The Year Of The Voyager" was released in North America on November 25, 2008 via Century Media. The set covers the "This Godless Endeavor" touring cycle, starting with amazing live footage from the U.S. Gigantour 2005, the Metal Mania festival 2006 in Poland, the Wacken Open Air festival in 2006 in Germany and the main DVD show recorded at the Zeche in Bochum, Germany on October 11, 2006. Bonus material includes two songs from Century Media USA 10th Anniversary Party 2001, all promo videos and an interview with singer Warrel Dane which was recorded at the Roax Film Studios in Berlin in the spring of 2008.

Sorry for the inconsistency in posting...dead week has been kicking my ass.
Just thought I'd let you all know, I've added a new blog to the "Blog List" box on the right hand side. It's called Death Metal Invasion, and it's probably one of the best extreme metal blogs out there. The economy is shitty, and CDs are expensive, so check it out.
I've got some other, more grind/punk oriented ones that I'll throw up in the coming days.
Maryland Deathfest was the best three days of my life, hands down. Even though Marduk and Pestilence didn't show up, we were treated to TWO fucking Bolt Thrower sets, one of which was inside. "Epic," is the only word to describe. Here's a short review of the 'fest: Friday Missed the first three bands because Bleeder and I went to the Babe Ruth Museum. Totally worth it, but I'm kind of bummed I missed Jig-Ai. Sayyadina – Only caught about half of their set, but it was cool. Gnostic – Really bad. Cattle Decapitation - Seen them like 5 times, so I didn't pay much attention. Cephalic Carnage - Same as CxDx. Seeing "Black Metal Sabbath" was cool though. Pigsty – Their set was a blast. Insane vocal performance, some drunk guy going apeshit and over the railing (twice) and inflatable sword fights in the pit. Mayhem – Meh, didn't do a whole lot for me. I couldn't hear Attila for probably 90% of the set. I'm even less impressed now that I know they cut in to Asphyx's time. Asphyx - FUCKING AMAZING. Van Drunen is a god and probably put out my two favorite performances of the 'fest. Awesome setlist, as they mostly played stuff off The Rack and The Last One On Earth. Venomous Concept - Good. Definitely got better as their set went on. Kevin was drunk as hell and funny: "More alcohol in the monitors." Victims – Awesome. First time hearing/seeing them and I loved it. Tons of energy and a great way to end the night. Saturday Drugs of Faith – Didn't watch. Maruta – Only caught the last couple songs. It was okay. Pretty Little Flower – Loved them...intense as fuck. Unearthly Trance – I've never listened to them before, but they were heavier than elephant shit. Perfect set length too. Crowpath – Moments of their set were really enjoyable, but for the most part, I couldn't get in to it. Flesh Parade – Really, really awesome. The vocals blew my mind. Weekend Nachos – I was in the bathroom for 5 minutes and missed all but one song. Rotten Sound – Didn't watch--me and dr0ne were outside singing along to Slipknot over the PA and getting a spot for Hail Of Bullets. Hail of Bullets – Like I said before, Van Drunen is amazing live. "Nachthexen" was as heavy as any song at the 'fest. Shit ruled. Brutal Truth - Sat down in the back and relaxed and didn't really pay attention. Misery Index – Briefly caught the end of their set before Immo. 'Twas pretty good, and loud as hell. Immolation – Had to make a tough choice to leave 4 songs in to get a good spot for Birdflesh, but those four songs kicked immense amounts of ass. "Father, You're Not A Father" into "Swarm Of Terror" was epic. Birdflesh – SO. MUCH. FUN. The between-song-banter and song explanations are hilarious, and they were really tight. Me and my friends throwing 200 Glo-Sticks in the pit = awesome. Atheist - Sat in the back and relaxed. Something about the sound was kind of wonky, and I lost interest pretty quickly. Pig Destroyer – Pretty good. Kind of bummed they didn't play "Junkyard God," but they did play "Jennifer" and "Pissangel," which ruled. Scott Hull was not happy about the left over Glo-Sticks getting thrown on stage. Napalm Death - Again, sat in the back and relaxed, but it what I heard sounded good. Also, was too busy watching all the hood-ass security guards quell the Great Crustie Revolt of 2009. Phobia – Didn't watch. Bolt Thrower – Awesome set, and awesome setlist. We were a little ways back, but it still crushed. General Surgery - Tons and tons of fun. They had some sound problems early on, but powered through them. The new singer and material sounded really good. Wolves in the Throne Room – Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tired to care. Left early. Sunday We missed a lot of bands on Sunday, mostly on account of being fucking exhausted.
Complete Failure – Didn't watch Agenda of Swine – Didn't watch. The Endless Blockade – Didn't watch. Lair of the Minotaur – Didn't watch. Magrudergrind – Decent, but kind of disappointing Kill the Client – So fucking intense. Like entwined said, I bet they would kick ass in a basement show. Their lead singer scared the shit out of me. Splitter – My first time hearing them, but I dug it. Despise You – Bad. The Red Chord – I had a blast. The "Dreaming In Dog Years" pile-on at the end was rad. Also, surprisingly well received. Yakuza – Didn't watch. Catheter – Pretty good set. Tight, but the low vocals were weak and I thought the whole set was kind of flat. Krallice – Unfortunately, I missed this set. Antigama – One of my favorites of the 'fest. Really tight, good setlist and length, high intensity and Sivy killed it on the drums. Absu – Didn't watch. Abscess – Didn't watch. Aura Noir – Didn't watch. Destroyer 666 – Didn't watch. Trap Them – SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I'd never bothered to listen to these guys, which was a huge mistake, because they brought huge amounts of win. One of, if not the most, energetic sets of the 'fest. Bolt Thrower, v2.0 - So much better inside. "World Eater" in to "Cenotaph" was awesome, and the whole set kicked my ass. Super loud, gut-rumbling heavy. Devourment – My first time seeing them, but it was about what I expected...awesome. The pit was fucking nuts, and the SMN blow-up toys and monkey masks were hilarious, especially Bleeder in his short-ass cut offs and Jewski fucking the inflatable money. Also, Eston putting on the monkey mask made me laugh. Sigh - Watched like 4-5 songs before a 1-woman mosh pit and sheer exhaustion made me leave. It was good shit, but really hard to be enthused about at the end of the weekend.
Here's a brief video of the Birdflesh set. Keep an eye out for the Glo-Sticks flying around--that was me and my friends:
It seems like there is going to be an official MDF VII DVD released, so I'll provide more details on that as they become available.
Also, check out Return To The Pit for all the pictures you could ever want. I didn't even bother with band pics, as most of them turned out like crap.
I'll be talking a lot more about the 'fest on Friday, as well as playing some of the music from the bands that killed it.
