Happy April Fools day!
Well it's a belated one at least. So another month is here and as always Meat is chomping at the bit to get the bloody proceedings going, as he should be! He is after all our mascot, so without further adieu let's get to some business here taking part in the month of April.
First, just a quick shout out to the Thrashcast podcast. We're going strong and already onto episode five, due this coming Friday. I'm very proud to have helped launch this extension at HMS and it's like having a child in some ways, as I consider this my baby. I should also mention my co-hosts Billy and Jim contribute greatly to each other, so I couldn't do this without them.
Next, let's announce a few things coming down the pipe. We just posted our review for the new EP from British Thrashcore band Cerebral Scar. I'm bringing this up because HMS writer Meathook Mike fronts the band as vocalist and he's worked hard getting the band's music out there. Check out the review we posted a few days ago.
Writer Tim Duran is currently prepping a review for the new Lee Aaron album. Some of you may know she's Canada's metal queen, so we totally love her for that. Also, Anvil have just released new material as well and Canadian thrash legends Sacrifice just announced the completion of a new record and are poised to bring that out soon. I can't wait to hear the new material. Hopefully we will be able to review the new music and bring on drummer Gus Pynn as a special guest for Thrashcast. Very exciting times ahead.
Well that's all I got for this month. I have to go and see what Dead Meat is fussing about. As always, keep those fists pumping and keep it bloody!
