This came out yesterday. The new Immolation did too but I'm not interested in that, you can probably find it easy as pie

VOÏVOD announces "SYMPHONIQUE" - a live album with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, out June 5, 2026 worldwide via Century Media Records.

After more than 40 years of cosmic exploration, Voïvod unveils a longtime dream: a full symphonic reimagining of the band's catalog, recorded live on June 4, 2025 at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City. 12 tracks. 73 minutes. One dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack.

Michel "Away" Langevin: "This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. It's the closest we've ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours."

2. Holographic Thinking (06:23)

3. The Unknown Knows (05:09)

There's a German Power Metal band called Orden Ogan that I was lucky enough to catch in my home town a couple of years ago. They have a bunch of wonderful material, including a concept album of how AI takes over the world, but then an asteroid comes and FUCKS it up, while the last pieces of humanity can just watch it all happen! But I implore you to go and listen to  the track "Gunman". If you even slightly enjoy music, I think it will be worth it!

There you go!

Testament in to the pit! To be 17 again and see the last 30 minutes of a Headbanger's Ball that one week! Found out about this song AND Samael and Morbid Angel in a one go! Great times!

Considering that the only video of Samael's Baphomet's Throne that I have been able to see on YouTube is from that particular show, I think it is the only time that video has been played at that level, so I was insanely lucky to have caught it and become a fan!

that one In To The Pit was the shit!

I enjoyed seeing Burning Ambition, the new Iron Maiden documentary today. Not a lot of new info for a EdHed like myself but a lot of cool old footage and modern BTS. Also  a lot of frank discussion on Bruce leaving the band and the Blaze Baily era. Talking head include Brain Sagel, Tom Morello, Katon De Pena, and Javiar Bardem along with various fans around the world.
