New Beer Blog Nickel Brook Brewery Head Stock India Pale Ale

image

In this beer blog, we are going to get into Nickel Brook Brewery from Canada.  The beer that we are going to get into is Head Stock India Pale Ale.  There is not much information on their website about their history.  I do know they are part of the group of craft breweries that is back by Canadian Government.  Let us get into this IPA.

It has a cloudy golden color with a white constant head. The aroma has a tropical fruit notes. The taste has a smooth light carbonated notes with hints of tropical fruit notes. The aftertaste has a slight bitter but it is dry crisp finish. It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.nickelbrook.com):

­

About: We admit it. We have a problem… We love our hops. We especially adore the amazing science of hops! As homage to our favourite wonders of nature, we present to you our award-winning Headstock IPA. The flowering humulus lupulus hop-cone provides us with the vital acids, essential oils and resins that permeate throughout our IPA. The result is a deliciously obscene wallop of tropical fruit, citrus and pine flavours and aromas any hop-head would gladly give a DNA sample for. We conclude that hop science is one tasty passion.

In the end, I was pretty impressed with this brew. I love the play on the words.  It looks Nickelback, who is the Canada Hard Rock band.  I love the tasting notes and this is one of best Canadian Craft beer that I had. I know that I have not had many. It is a pretty good IPA. I have to say that I had better.  I would have this beer over the Flying Monkey Atom Smash Bomb IPA any day of the week.  There is a better balance than Flying Monkey Brewery IPA. They put more thought behind on what hops to use in this beer.  There is a nice well build malty backbone.  I highly recommend this beer.  I wish it was in Michigan or just the United States.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Flying Monkey Brewery Netherworld Dark Ale

image

In this beer blog, we are going to get into our first beer from Flying Monkey Brewery.  It is their Neither World Cascadian Dark Ale.  I cannot find any history on this Canada craft brewery.  I know this craft brewery is part of craft breweries that are back by Canadian Government.  Let us get into this Black Ale.

It has a jet black color with a health tan color head. The smell has a chocolate to citrus notes. The taste has a smooth to creamy chocolate notes with a hint of dry bitter aftertaste. The hops are not really in attendance. It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a description from the beer bottle:

Heeding a chorus of voices crying for a dark roasty thing with lots of west coast hops and a higher ABV we summoned Netherworld from the chaotic flip side of the brew house where hybrid is the norm and nothing is ordinary.

Hovering just this side of evil, in the right hands, our “Cascadian Dark Ale” is bizarrely nice with its own entrancing mojo.  However, watch out for those who refuse to see the darkness.

Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Closing, this import craft brewery is new to the craft scene in the United States.  I have had a few of their brews.  I just found them average because of the price.  The price is a little high for this beer market.  When most of the beer drinkers only want Michigan only craft beers.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I just found there are better beers outside of this state.  There is bad ones too.  This beer is a little different from the rest of the dark ales on the market.  It is not as bitter and hoppy.  It is pretty mild and I like that.  The price of this beer is too high and it affects the way beer drinkers looks at this beer.  It is a good beer but it is average because of the price.  I recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Sports Thought Thursday Blog End Of An Era In Detroit

In this sports blog, we are going to get into a thought that might be happening in Detroit.  The future of the Red Wings is coming true in this off-season.  The questions that need to be answered are:

  • Who is going to be in goal next season?

It is that famous thing in Detroit. The back up goalie is better than the starter. However, it may be in this case, Petr Mrazek has out played Jimmy Howard. Many fans and media believes Howard is hurt. After, a game seven loss, you would have heard of who was hurt and not. Nothing came out on Howard. Howard has issues being health since signing his latest contract. Howard has a huge contract with a ton of money left on it. I do not think Red Wings will not be able to move him. Ken Holland, who was former NHL goalie and current General Manager, has a huge duty to find away to move. I believe he can do. I believe Petr Mrazek will be your starting goalie next season.

  • Will the Defense Line be improved?

This team has been missing all star and all around defense men since Lindstrom retired. I am hoping there will be that Dman on free agent market. I do not know if there is one there or in our farm system.

  • Who will be the head coach next season?

This is a huge debate.  The Wings just gave Mike Babcock permission to explore other opportunities.  If he signs with another team, the Red Wings will receive a 3rd pick within the next three years.  Mike just finished coaching his tenth year with the Red Wings.  Many fans around the Detroitland area and around the country believe it is time for a change.  The saying in professional sports a coach and team should part ways by the tenth year.  I am not saying I want Mike gone.  I want him to stay.  He is the best coach in the league.  The Red Wings want him to stay and they made it clean to him.  They have offer him two contracts in a week. Let us lay some facts on the table about Mike and his time with the Red Wings.  He has only won one cup with the Wings and he should have won two.  The last three season the Red Wings has been booted out of the first round of the playoffs.  Scotty Bowman was with the Red Wings for nine years and won three cups with them.   Scotty record was 410 – 193 with the Red Wings.  Mike has a record of 458 – 223 with the Wings.  I get it.  These are two different eras of hockey.  It is hard to believe from 15 years ago but it is true.  Salary Cap has something to do with it.  The Red Wings are building on the fly the last two years.   Ken and Mike have been building a team here.  I do not know what Mike is looking for as far as his job.  Is it more power?  Money?  Whatever, it is.  Red Wings fans are going to see the same face or someone new next season.  I know we have a nice young core of kids that are going to be pretty good.

Closing, I am glad that I do not need to make these painful decision.  I believe if the Red Wings solve their goalie issue.  Meaning who is going to be the starter and do something with the other guy.  Maybe that player will bring back some help on the defense.  Maybe, it is time to look at some of these young players to bring back that defense men that this team is lacking.  I believe we will have a pretty big trade or signing on the defense this off season.  I also believe we will see some big moves from the Red Wings.  If Mike Babcock leaves, maybe, Wings will bring up the highest paid minor league coach. This is same coach that developed all these kids. I cannot wait for next season to send Joe Louis Arena into the sunset.  Go Wings!  Thanks again for a great season.  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Wild Rose Brewery IPA

In this beer blog, we are going to get into Wild Rose Brewery IPA for the first time on this blog.   Wild Rose Brewery was founded in 1996 by Mike Tymchuk.  They were founded in Calgary, Canada.   They brew several different beers.   Let us get into this IPA.

It has a slightly cloudy copper color with a white constant head.  The aroma has a slight caramel to citrus notes.  The taste has a citrus to caramel notes with a dry hoppy finish.  It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a description from the beer bottle and website (www.wildrosebrewery.com):

A beautiful copper-coloured ale, rich in caramel malt character and well-balanced with plenty of hops. An authentic India Pale Ale, this IPA is handcrafted for the true ale drinker.

Closing, I have to say I have been pretty impressed with some craft beers from Canada.  I always thought they were a bunch of Lager breweries.  I guess I am so wrong.   I know they brew several ales around the country.  I did not think they are pretty good.  Well, Wild Rose Brewery and Mill Street Brewery are proving me wrong.  I am sorry for saying and thinking it.  I love the caramel notes bending with the citrus.  I love the hoppy dry finish that keeps me coming back for more of it.  Wild Rose Brewery has a winner IPA here.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

New Unknown Music Thursday Blog Black Wizard Black Wizard

a2761826262_2

In this Unknown Music Thursday Blog, we are going to get into another newer and upcoming band.  The band is called Black Wizard and the record is their self titled.  There is not much on the history of this band.  They were formed before 2009 or 2010 because of their Facebook joining date.  I do not know about you but I am looking forward to get into this music.  I love how they label themselves.  Let us get into the music.

Track List:

Spacer

There is a nice acoustic guitar at the beginning of the opening track.  There is some nice drumming and bass playing.  It is pretty calming at first.  I love how they worked the second guitar playing over the top of everything.  I love the effects on the guitar.  The music is pretty strong so far on this song.  The singing is pretty good and it fits the music.  The effects on his vocals are perfect mix and haunting.  I love the back up vocals.  There is some pretty good lyrics on “Spacer.”  I love the guitar break and time changes about the mid-point of the song.  It sounds like time changes.  There is a pretty solid guitar solo but short towards the end of the song.  I love the ending.

Young Wisdom

I love the music at the beginning.  The singer is singing pretty good.  There is some pretty good lyrics too.  I love the drumming on this song.  The bass playing has been pretty solid so far on this record.  I love the guitar playing on this song.  I love music change half way through with the acoustic guitar and then enters a short guitar solo.  It enters a slower part of the song.  This is a pretty dark song.  There is a nice guitar break towards the end of the song that turns into a pretty good guitar solo.

Midnight

I love the drumming and guitar playing.   The singer is singing like all the rest of the tracks and it is pretty good.  I love how they used the back up vocals on this song.  This song has a nice pace to it and a little different from the rest of the songs thus far.  There is some nice music on this song.  I have to say this is one of my favorite songs so far on this record.

H.U.G.H

This song might come off being heavy but it has some weird influence in it that I cannot figure out.  I love the singing and the music is pretty good.   I love faster pace towards the back half of the song.  The drumming and bass playing is solid for being the backbone of this band.  They have a really good rhythm selection.  I love the guitar solo that is short and to the point.  I love how they are using the back up vocals on this song.  I love the ending to this song.

Danger Dances

I love the acoustic guitar and the slightly distorted guitar at the beginning.  I can hear some Radiohead influence on this song.  This might be the shortest song on the record, however, it is one of the best songs as far as it comes to the music side.  They wrote some great music on “Danger Dances.”

Somethin’ Sweet

I love the classic hard rock sounding guitar at the beginning.  The drumming and bass playing are pretty solid.  I love the bass playing in the main part of the song.  I really not a fan of bass players playing with a pick.  The drumming is pretty crazy on this song.  The lead singer is singing is solid with some great lyrics.  The lead singer’s screaming singing is well placed and not over the top.  I love the guitar players trading off on the guitar break.

Appetite

I love the guitar playing along with the bass and drumming.  I love the singing on this song.  I am not a fan of all the effects on his vocals in some parts.  I love the guitar playing at the mid-point of the song.  There is a nice guitar solo towards the end of the song.

Wicked Wanderer

The last song on this record is “Wicked Wanderer.”  The guitars remind me of something that Megadeth would do on their songs.  The drumming and bass playing is solid.  I love the bass playing before the singer starts to sing.  I love the build up to the main part of the song.  This is a pretty solid ending track to this record.  There is a nice guitar solo towards the end of the song.  I love how the guitar players are playing the same riff to give that double-sided sound.  I love the ending to this song.

Line Up:

  • Kyle Fee – Bass
  • Eugene Parkomenko – Drums
  • Adam Grant – Vocals And Guitars
  • Johnny de Courcy – Vocals And Guitars

Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Twitter:  no address

Closing, this is a pretty good band with a heavier side that you do not want to mess with anytime.  I love the music and the singing.  There are some parts of the singing that I just feel the band needs to get away from with the effects on the vocals.  Overall, the music is pretty solid and lyrics are pretty good.  They wrote a nice first record and I highly recommend you to check this band out.  You will not be disappointed.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Unknown Music Thursday Blog Three Wolf Moon Self Titled

545218_623066031046845_1043186343_n

In this New Unknown Music Thursday Blog, we are going to get into a new and upcoming band known as Three Wolf Moon.  This is their first record which is called “Masters.”  This record was just released this month of August in 2013.  Here is a little bio from their website (www.threewolfmoon.bandcamp.com):

Three Wolf Moon is the psychedelic-folk-rock imagining of friends Adam Grant, John Sayer, Tyler Maynard, Max Grant and Evan… Joel. Three Wolf Moon is emotive and transcendent, eerily transitioning from sparse song-writing to ambient fullness, added by masterful keys and the robust sound of two drummers.

The haunting sound of Three Wolf Moon is sure to have its audience howling.

This band was former around the late part of 2011 in the western part of Canada.  They worked on this record the whole year of 2012.  There is not much information on this band.  Let us get into the music.

Track List:

Drone

I love the keyboard to organ playing at the beginning of the song.  There is nice calming acoustic guitar over the organ playing with singer coming in over the top.  His singer reminds of singer from Counting Crows to Black Crows.  There is some 1960’s and 1990’s influence in this band.  I am not fan of all the reverb but I can live with it.  I love the drum beat with the dancing bass in the background.  This band is like taking elements from The Doors and Black Crows and mixing it.  It is a really nice mix.  There is a nice guitar break to a short solo towards the back half of the song.  It has a nice groove and pace to the song.  I am enjoying the time changes.  This is a nice jamming song.  I love how this song is ending with the fade out.

Dog

I love the piano playing at the beginning with the calming drums and bass playing.  The guitar is perfect support element to the song.  It is crazy since knowing the name of the song.  I can picture a dog running in the park in a warm summer day.  I love his singer’s singing.  It fits where this band is going with their music.  There is some pretty solid lyrics on this song.    The blending of the guitar and piano is the key to the success of this song.    I love drumming and the bass playing on this song.  I am not a fan of Jam bands but I am really digging this band.  I love the organ that is being put forth on this song.

Joe Walsh

This next song is name after one of my band members from The Eagles and The James Gang.  I love the overdrive guitars at the beginning and the hard-hitting drums.  There is some nice organ and bass playing at the beginning.  I love the music and the pace.  I love the guitar break a quarter into the song that turns into a nice solo with some nice effects on the guitar.  There is some nice drumming on this song.  I love the guitar, bass, and drums paces towards the middle of the song.  The organ is kind of not fitting in the song now.  It just rebound from it almost death on this song.  The singing and well placed back up singing is awesome.  There is some nice lyrics on this song.  This song kind of reminds me of early Deep Purple like Mark III and late Black Sabbath with Ozzy like their last two records before Ozzy was fired.

In Bad Dreams

I love the acoustic guitar at the beginning of the song.  The organ, bass, and drumming comes in shortly after the guitar.  The singer with a ton of reverb comes after that build up.  I love the lyrics.  I am not a fan so much with his singing.  I love guitar break and back into the main riff.  I love the guitar solo towards the middle of the song.  This song has a nice pace to it.  Nice snare drum roll into a nice guitar break and solo.  I love the ending to the song.

Water Wine

I love the guitar, drums, and bass playing at the beginning of the song.  I love the bass playing quarter into the song.  There is also some nice guitar playing in this song.  The drums are solid that becomes a nice support device.  I love the singing and the lyrics.  I love the time change towards the middle of the song.  I just feel this singer does too much screaming then singing.  The guitar playing with the piano towards the end of the song is solid.  The two drummers adds to the nice sound on this song and the band.

The Worst

I love the beginning of the song.  I love the acoustic guitar and the nice drums and bass playing.  I love the movement of the bass playing on this song.  The singer on this song reminds me of a little Neil Young.  There is some solid lyrics on this song.  This is pretty solid song.  There is some nice back up vocals towards the middle of the song.  I love the slight time change towards the back half of the song.    There is a nice guitar break during this time frame.

Words Can’t Explain

I love the guitar playing at the beginning of the song.  There is a nice organ playing in the background with some great drum beats.  I love the singing with the reberb.  This makes senses for the song.  I love the build up into the main part of the song.  This song will slap you in the face if you are not paying attention.  It will then just run away and hide while watching you in the distance.  I love the pace of this song.  I love the music at the middle.  It seems like the song is about to end but it teases you as a music listener.  I love the organ and guitar playing after that period of the song.  The drums and bass playing starts to build it back up.  There is a nice guitar break at this point of the song that goes into kind of guitar solo.

Night Walk

There is some nice acoustic guitar with some nice drumming and bass playing.  The singer is singing and he is singing very well.  He kind of reminds me a little Radiohead.  I am really not a fan of the pace of this song for being the last song off this record.  I do love the organ playing towards the middle of the song.   The song kind of picks up towards the end.  The singing is pretty strong towards the end of the song.  The song might be too slow to end the record but the singing echoes the story behind the name of the band.

Line Up:

Adam Grant – Vocals and Guitars
Tyler Maynard – Keys and Synth
Evan Joel – Bass
Max Grant – Drums
John Sayer – Drums and Percussion

Here is the band’s website and twitter addresses:

Website:  www.threewolfmoon.bandcamp.com

Twitter:  @Three_Wolf_Moon

Ending,  I was not expecting this type of music.  I have to say I am pretty impressed with the music they have written for their first record.  This music brings back the Jam bands of the 1960’s and 1990’s.  To me, they sound like something between The Doors, Black Crows, and Counting Crows.  It is a nice break from the hard rock and metal that I normally listen to and review on this blog.  Maybe the northwest part of Canada has the future sound of music.  This will be interesting where this band goes in the future.  I enjoyed it and I recommend you checking this band out.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Unibroue Grand Reserve 17 Dark Ale

image

In this beer blog, we are going to get into beer called Grand Reserve 17 Dark Ale from Unibroue.  Unibroue was founded in 1990 under the name of La Brasserie Massawippi Inc in Quebec, Canada.  The name changed in 1993 to Brasserie Broubec Inc and then merged with Unibroue.  It was then sold in 2004 to Sleeman Breweries.  Sleeman Breweries was then sold to Sapporo.  Unibroue Brewery brews several different Belgian beer styles.  Let us get into  the beer.

It has a brown color with a white head on the beer.  The smell is a sweet malty and other species. The taste is a sweet slight carbonation and no aftertaste to the beer.  There is a lot going on in this complex dark ale.  It is a sipping beer.

Here is a description from the beer bottle:

Dark Ale on Lees.  Ale Brewed with Spices, Aged with French Oak, and with Natural Flavors added

Inspired by the great Belgian brewing tradition of Trappist monks established over the centuries.  Unibroue 17 was first brewed in 2007 to celebrate our brewery’s 17th anniversary.  However, the overwhelming success of this specialty brew made it obvious that we could not let such great ale slip into the anonymity of retirement.

As testimony to its remarkable flavor profile which increases in complexity as it ages, the original batch bottled in 2007 was awarded an international platinum medal three years in a row and the prestigious title of “World’s Best Dark Ale” when it was well past three years in the bottle!

So in 2011, we proudly brought back this French Oak aged, bottle refermented dark ale, with the “Grande Reserve” appellation as a fitting endorsement of its exceptional quality for aging.  Brewed only once a year, in limited quantities, and individually numbered “brasseur” bottles, this is truly a flavorful delight for the specialty beer enthusiast.

Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Website:  www.unibroue.com

Twitter:  @unibroue

In the end, I really enjoyed this beer and I have to thank my friend let me try it.  There is a ton going on in this dark ale.  It is a sipping beer but it is pretty smooth.  I was pretty stun by this beer and I will be searching the rest of their beers down from this brewery.  To be honest, how much this beer was good, I would rather drink a beer from Belgium.  This brewery being from Canada is as close to the real thing from Belgium.  I recommend this beer and  I would like to hear your thoughts on this beer or other brews that Unibroue brew.  Any you recommend for me to try from this brewery.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

New Blog The Worshyp Evil Abounds

In this Metal Monday blog, we are going to get into one of my favorite underground metal bands.  I am talking about the metal Canada band called The Worshyp.  This is their second record called Evil Abounds, which is the follow-up to their debut record called Kingdom Earth (2011).  The Worshyp was founded in 2009 by guitarist and lead singer Marc Nova.  The band has an influence from thrash metal, prog, metal and hard rock.

Current Line Up

Mig Diabio – Bass Guitar

Marz Nova – Lead Singer and Guitar

Thor Rune – Lead Guitar

On Evil Abounds, Jimmy DeGrasso is former Megadeth and Alice Copper drummer is playing drums on this record.  Original drummer KK Devina left the band after their tour for Kingdom Earth to return to his home of Peru.  No official replacement has not been picked but Jimmy DeGrasso is filling into that comes to head.  Let us get into this awesome record that I have already been listening to while writing the intro to this blog.

Diabolic

Diabolic has a nice strong guitar, bass, and drums to start out the song.  Of course Marc comes in strong like he has in many of Worshyp songs.  I have always loved the drum work from Jimmy since his days with Megadeth.  I was pretty excited to see him working with this band.  I really wanted to hear the music right away and I will tell you right now his drumming on this opening track is not disappointing.  I love the lyric writing and I love the in your face this song has.  The guitar work is really done up good.  This is a very strong start for this band and awesome starting track.  It has a nice guitar solo with a strong support from the bass and drums.  It has a nice very strong finish to Diabolic.

Thunderman

Nice strong guitar work at the beginning of Thunderman.  This has a flash to old Metallica on the singing.  It has a little Pantera and Anvil feel on the singer in the Chorus.  I love the guitar work and has dropped off from the opening song.  Bassist is doing a good job to fuel the guitar and drums in this song.  This is a well written song.  The lyrics and singing are very well done.  A simple and straight to the point guitar solo is just right for this song.  It is nothing over the top but it keeps the drive of the song going on to the end.  If song is not a single, it will be in the future.  Thunderman is my favorite song so far on this record.  The ending is just right.

Seven Deadly Sins

Seven Deadly Sins has a Megadeth feel to this song.  Marc kind of sounds like the lead singer from Megadeth.  This is a very well written song.  They did a good job throughout Seven Deadly Sins.

The Garveyard

I love the support from the bass and drums while the guitar work comes with this strong opening.  This song has a nice guitar work with awesome singing.  This song kind sounds like something the band Fight would have done.  Worshyp has taken the next step and level in their music career.  I love their first record but Evil Abounds is over the charts right now.  This record has to be close to the top for me for best record of 2012.  I love the guitar solo, lyrics, drums, bass.  Drums are let loose for a few parts on this song.  This is a great song.  Nice fade closing to the song.

WarTorn

WarTorn starts out with a nice bass line which you do not hear from most metal bands today.  Unless it comes the old school metal bands.  I love the slow down pace of this song.  Marc is proving to the world he can sing several different styles of metal on this record.  He has a great voice and it is very strong in this song.  I love how they let the drums and bass take the focus on the music side.  I hope to hear this more often from this band.  This is a very well done song with a beautiful finish.

Awaken Underworld And Destroyer of Men

Awaken Underworld starts with some sound effects and a nice drum beat off the tom.  There is very few drummers that can play just the tom in the metal world.  I love the strong guitar work.  I love how they are playing in different keys to give that nice punch from two guitar players.  This song goes right into Destroyer of Men.  I love long beginnings on metal songs.  This has a nice grooving beat to it.  I really love the movement of these songs.  Just like WarTorn, I love the slow pace of Destroyer of Men.  Damn, they did an awesome job on the guitar work along with the solos.  I will say the drums and bass are not lacking either.  This is a strong eight minute song that should be this length.  This band did not push it because they wanted an eight minute song. It just makes sense.  The time changes are just sick in the song of Destroyer of Men.  I love the ending.

Love To Death

It is nice to see metal bands pull out the acoustic guitar once in a while.  Marc showing a little softer side to his singing.  He has a little 1990’s feel to his low-end of his singing.  This is a powerful song with great singing and talented music writing.  I love the lyrics to it. Great song writing is all I have to say about this song.  I do not know what else to say about this song but it is just very good.  Love to Death has the perfect ending for an epic song.

One Crow Sorrow

One Crow Sorrow has one of the perfect drum beats that I heard so far on this record.  Nice place guitar playing and singing just floats just right over the music.  This song makes me feel like I am watching a cat fight.  I do not know why I feel this way.  I will say at least it is a good fight.  I could see fans live singing this back to the band.  It has a nice groove for a later part of a live show or the beginning.  I am starting to think this show be their opening song every time they play live.  It has a nice way to get you into the show before the violence and control chaos that this band will release to their fan.  We, as fans, love that.  Please do not take that the wrong way.  Nice ending to the song.

Villians

Villains has nice fade in guitar work at the beginning of it.  I love the drive of this song.  It is perfect for the close out of this strong record from The Worshyp.  This song has an Armored Saints feel to it.  I love the guitar solo in the later part.  The lyrics are not disappointing either.  The bass and drums are just right for the theme of the song and how it was written.  Villans has a very powerful for the song and the record.

*Bonus Track Destroyer Extended

It is Awaken Underworld and Destroyer of Men put together as one whole track.  Please re read that part of the post.  To be honest, I kind of wish they would have done that in the first place.  Most people buy the digital copy of records and  I know for a fact I am one of the few that buys the hard copy of music records.  Call me old school.

Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Here is a few spots to buy their records:

http://www.cdbaby.com

Zune and iTunes

http://www.amazon.com

In closing, I will say Evil Abounds has not disappoint at all.  This record was well worth the wait.  Evil Abounds has push the level and the band took the next step in their music career.  This record is so much better then their first record.  Their first record was not a bad record and I know it is not fair to judge both records against each other.  If you want to see a band grow up in front of you, go buy their records and watch them to rockstars.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
