No Innocent Victim are drawing ever-closer to the release of To Burn Again, out on November 8th; the title track is up for listening on their purevolume page. Drummer Jason Dunn also runs this label called, um, Facedown Records(yeah them), and a ton of their bands are on tour as you read this - check out facedownrecords.com for all the scoop.
Picked up the new issue of Alternative Press downtown last night out of sheer boredom, and Tooth & Nail Records ads take up like seventy-five percent of the first ten pages. Someone is spending serious money here. Also, a tidbit of which which we weren't formerly aware: the artwork for the upcoming Underoath re-release was done by Converge frontman Jake Bannon. Reason enough to purchase it right there.
Project 86's new album And The Rest Will Follow is out Tuesday, and there's a pretty slick website to initiate the sleepers to this big rock attack. Go check that out. Nice colour scheme - I have a t-shirt with that brown/light-blue thing going on. I'm awesome.

Boston hardcore band The Hope Conspiracy have been pretty inert the last year or so, but they're back at it, writing a new album that will see daylight in 2006. Woohoo!
Great metal show hitting Babylon downtown November 4th. Check it: A Life Once Lost and The End with headliners The Black Dahlia Murder. My ears will never be the same again. And the new ALOL record is really good: metal, hardcore and guitar solos! Awesome.
Speaking of crazily loud bands, Baltimore kids Misery Index have split with their label, Nuclear Blast. It's all on good terms, though; no crap-talking, internet idiocy and the like. MI have completed five new songs, with titles like 'Outsourcing Jehovah, 'Conquistador' and 'Antithesis'. Hooray for wordy metal bands.
