Hypocrisy Cancel Tour

And I really wanted to go to this.

Hypocrisy haven't been to North America in years and it sucks to see them skip us due to the United States government changing it's rules reagarding Swedish visas (also happened to Marduk. Thankfully, I've already seen my share of Swedish metal bands with only Hypocrisy, Dismember, Meshuggah and Opeth being the Swedish bands that I'm a fan of that I haven't seen yet).

Oh, and I'm having to choose between Arch Enemy, Devin Townsend and Behemoth. Given DT's lack of stage time (he's prolific enough to need a much longet set) and the fact that I've already seen Arch Enemy, I'm probably going to go with Behemoth.

Oh, and it sucks to be Epica since Megadeth and Slayer are touring together at the same time. As much as I like Epica, Megadeth rule live and Slayer is Slayer. There is no contest.

LOL, Varg

He's calling his album, "The White God."

Oh, and on his website he's claiming, "It is not intended for play the "low-brow metal" style, but instead I imagine a listener willing to sit down, ideally in solitude, and think for a minute, about the White God and our forebears, whether they were Picto-British, Finnish, Gallic, Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, Scytho-Slavic, Daco-Thrakian or whatever, and about their magnificent, intelligent, positive, beautiful, healthy and strong culture."

The translation of that statement is, "I like money and I'll pretend to like people from outside of Norway if it helps me sell records."
