Summer Slaughter 2018: First Few Bands Have Been Announced!
In the same interview between Avildsen and Metal Insider, Ash mentioned three bands that were playing this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour. I can say that I’m definitely looking forward to Born of Osiris (What up Joeee!), Veil of Maya (Ayyy Marc!), and Between The Buried And Me! The rest of the show is still being planned out, but so far so good!
Cheers! (Marc’s 30th birthday shot that I dug up real quick)

ORANGE GOBLIN Reveals Their New Album Cover + A New Song!
Awww he’s so cute! Lead singer Ben Ward comments “‘Sons Of Salem’ is the first track on the album and we consider it an ORANGE GOBLIN anthem. We see this song being a staple of the live set with the singalong chorus and the awesome, catchy riff. A mean and moody intro to the album that sets the tone throughout, it’s short, sweet and straight to the point. The lyrics are about the sons of the Salem witches returning from the grave to seek vengeance on the religious fools that murdered their mothers during the witch trials.”
“We wanted something dark, menacing, striking and memorable all at once and we feel that Roland has certainly delivered that. We think it has the look of an iconic cover, one that you will recognize for years to come and one that perfectly represents the music on the record. The wolf is such an amazing beast. The wolf is predatory, vicious and a merciless hunter but at the same time so determined, smart, cunning and beautiful and the portrayal of the wolf about to strike on the cover is a great representation of the way we felt when writing this album.”
The album artwork is by artist Roland Scriver.
“Sons of Salem” is new available to stream on YouTube.
