It’s out and about, a week in advance. Subtly melodic polyrhythmic chugfest GET. If you care, give it a listen, and then maybe buy it if you like it.
Veil of Maya’s [id] comes out April 6th on Sumerian Records. Here’s their song “Namaste”, via YouTube:

Diamond Eyes, the long awaited sixth album from the Deftones is out and about. Somewhere.
Cue either Doctor Who, or X-Files music.

If you care, Coheed and Cambria’s new album Year of the Black Rainbow has leaked. Go forth, be pseudo-proggy. I’m not too much on the music, but the album art is pretty neat.
Here’s there video for their new single “The Broken”.

No, I’m not bullshitting. The real thing is out there right now.
Since this is going to be a killer record, you should go out and buy it like upstanding citizens. I’ve already got the vinyl preordered. Awww yeah. And if I’m not mistaken, our bro Chris (Disinformasiya) will have a review of it soon enough.
Bracing for impact. If you want it, it’s out there somewhere.

The new album from highly recognized black metal band Darkthrone is all up on the tubes. If you’re not familiar with Darkthrone, their early material is 2nd wave bm which was at the forefront of the movement. Their more recent work, however, is a throw back to 1st wave with the huge punk and thrash influences. Peep this awesome stuff.

The highly anticipated return from ambient black metal master Varg Vikernes has hit the tubes before it drops in stores on March 8, 2010
Get it, unless you’re false.

Oh shit. Matt Pike’s gonna kill somebody.
Snakes for the Divine, the highly anticipated follow up to 2007′s Death Is This Communion, hit the internet within the last couple of days. With the end of Did It Leak, it makes it harder to keep up with what new albums are floating around to sample. So this may have been around for a bit longer, but this is the first I’ve heard of it.
If you’d like to report any future metal album leaks, give us a shout at the email address at the right. It’s over there somewhere.
Snakes for the Divine is available legitimately February 23rd on E1 Records. Check out a YouTube video of “Frost Hammer” below if you’re in for a more legal taste of things to come.

The only thing I cared about is their cover of “Cars” with Gary Numan. The rest is just meh. I know they were influential and whatever, but I honestly don’t get why everyone’s popping e-boners over the “reunion”. I’ll just listen to Strapping Young Lad (which features half of the members of the current FF lineup) and Meshuggah, who did that whole industrial death metal/chuggy thing better, if you can call Fear Factory death metal.
Not only is the sound generally aged and boring, but to listen you have to navigate through the clunkiest site I’ve had to endure in a long while. You need a Facebook account to listen, and you have to unlock tracks by leaving comments spamming your friends on Facebook and Twitter. I listened to opening track “Mechanize” and gave up, because fuck that noise. Snap judgments are too damn easy.
If you still care, here it is. Meh.

You know how it goes. Go get it you freeloaders.
It’s due out July 7th.
After the jump, some stuff. You can tell I don’t care, right?
PHONING IT IN.

Batten down the hatches. Metalcore band Darkest Hour‘s new album The Eternal Return leaked.
