Below are a number of records that have our interests piqued for a variety of reasons... Baroness - TBA: Since the release of The Red Album, Baroness' popularity has soared. So where will the next album find the band, especially after this past year's line up change? We

Yesterday we received a cryptic e-mail from a friend stating that Shrinebuilder , will enter the studio no later than January 10 and that we should post it immediately. Why? We asked. Because Shrinebuilder is comprised of Scott "Wino" Weinrich of Saint Vitus and Hidden Hand , Scott Kelly of Neurosis , Al Cisneros of Om and Dale Crover of The Melvins . While we missed the boat on breaking it, it's still worth noting [...]
