This Month In Heavy [In Which I Play Catch-Up On January]!

Been wondering where the weekly run-down of new music went? Well, releases are typically very slow for December and January, so I put the column on a bit of hiatus, to be put back to use ‘whenever I felt like it.’ However, this month has been surprisingly good for new releases and I figured I’d full you guys in on the music that was put out in the month of January. Here’s what we’ve got:

JANUARY 10th:

• Blut Aus Nord – 777 – The Desanctification (Season Of Mist)
