I would like to see the 2014 edition of the SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour. It includes Morbid Angel, Dying Fetus, Goatwhore, Origin, Decrepit Birth, Fallujah, and other bands. I bet it would be a good time. But as much as I would like to see SUMMER SLAUGHTER, SUMMER SLAUGHTER does not want to see me.

If you would like to see if you have been blessed or snubbed, check the dates after the jump. Continue reading »

I mainly just liked the album cover. But today the band released an official video for a song named “Slave To the Grave”, and guess what? The music is as good as that album cover. Continue reading »
