There are a lot of metal acts releasing albums this week. Despite my not having listened to their music, my assumption is that a band employing the moniker Bone Gnawer that releases an album entitled Feast of Flesh is going to have a sound I don’t particularly enjoy. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s a girl with a guitar. But I doubt it.

I’m not lucky in that I can’t edit or write stuff on the blog from work, but each job has its own downfalls that I’m sure everyone can attest to. Perhaps some day I will have this luxury, but for now I will need to write things in advance or get up early. Never mind my complaining, here is the next 
Considering today’s musical landscape, the amount of time since the public heard from Nate Ruess is nearly an eternity.

This week’s Smörgåsbord is a little bit different than most weeks, but only because we’re not featuring three straight remixes.
