I've been doing a bit of digging into Ashes Of Ares. The band fronted by former Iced Earth singer Matt Barlow. Cool stuff!

Gotta just say it was badass hearing Metalingus on WWE Smackdown last week! Edge cut an awesome promo with women's champion Becky Lynch...

I've only seen the pre-release songs and Fortress (thanks to Lost In Vegas!)

I'm afraid that's as much of this release I can see for some time... It looks and sounds incredible! Hopefully I can get my grubby mitts on the DVD eventually!

That's kinda fair. But I say why record something you know you can't or won't play live? It is a crazy riff... But the band jammed One Day Remains regularly for ages, also a pretty beastly riff... With a couple rehearsals, they could pull it off!

I'm just wondering if Alter Bridge has ever or will ever perform Peace Is Broken live... Why hasn't it happened? That song is killer and one of my favorites from Fortress. Mark's bridge section never fails to get me singing along. Hopefully they give it a go one day.

I'm all for a longer wait and a more organic songwriting process. I don't really mind the cobbling together riffs way the guys write. When it works, it can work well... I'd like to hear a little less production and more of a band I love. I want to hear Mark, Myles, Brian and Flip in a room together ...

It's back up! And it looks and sounds goood! I can't wait to hear some of the lesser heavy stuff with that orchestra.

Finally got to my closest Walmart. No dice...

Hahaha! So I've had Ghost's Prequelle on steady rotation with ADM... They're still coming after you!

Oooweee! It's Alter Bridge season! I enjoyed Year Of The Tiger and I've had A Dying Machine on repeat since the 8th. But I'm SO ready for Mark and Myles to team back up and write a record that could hopefully wash the over-produced taste of The Last Hero out of my mouth. With Slash + MK&C on the...

I've got no idea. Still haven't heard a peep.

Rats.

Was logging in to ask the same question... Lol

Over to Thornton, CO! Only a 2,273 mile drive! I'll see ya there in about three days!

Still doing some digesting... But in no particular order, three days after the release...

Trust
Make It Hurt
Traipse
Take You With Me
Desolation

These may/will change depending on the day...

This album is damn good! I liked the singles, but the gems had definitely been tucked away. Traipse has got to be a favorite. Interesting lyrics over that eerie sounding finger picking and it just builds and builds. As far as production goes, after one spin through, I've got no gripes against Elvis ...

Beautiful! Wasn't certain about the lyrics on the first listen, especially the chorus... But goddamn it it's an ear bug! Can't stop listening or singing it now...

Must. Hear. Now! Can't wait!

June 1st. Next Friday.
