Oh yes! New Suffocation is always cause for celebration around Casa del Thrash or even the office for that matter - just ask the people from the Top 40 station who just got a good ole earful of one of the best damn death metal bands on the planet.

The thing I like most about Sylosis is how they blend old school thrash and technical death metal along the lines of Death to produce some insanely catchy tunes.

At some point in ancient Egyptian history it must have been tradition to stick your junk in fire.

Take a few minutes and zone out to the hypnotic riffs of "Demiurge" from the mighty Meshuggah's new album 'Koloss'.

Just when you thought Enslaved couldn't get any cooler, they go and cover Led Zeppelin on Norwegian T.V.

Enslaved's new disc RIITIIR is so good. Album of the Year good.

If you're needing a fix of new music from Testament, haul ass over to Amazon and download the beastly "Native Blood" from their upcoming disc Dark Roots of Earth. Don't forget we have a chance to get Testament to play here in the Falls if enough people who listen to The Buzz pre-order the new album...

This Monday just got a whole helluva lot better.

In conjunction with the release of the new album Dark Roots of Earth (out July 31 on Nuclear Blast Records), legendary Bay Area thrashers Testament are giving fans a chance to see the band for free in their hometown.

Mnemic have been turning heads since their debut album Mechanical Spin Phenomena first hit the streets, garnering attention from the likes of Metallica, Machine Head and a ton of other heavy-hitters in the metal scene and guitarist Mircea Eftemie was kind enough to call the BuzzLine for the July 7 edition of The Oath.

If you love old school metal as much as I do and you've never checked out Sweden's Grand Magus I highly recommend you do so.

Try saying that song title five times in a row.
