Roskilde Festival added 27 acts to their 2019 lineup last week. A grand total of zero of them I am interested in. 🙁

In better news, Brutal Assault added 11 bands. The highlight, for me, is Primordial.

Metal Magic will be announcing more bands tomorrow.

Neurosis, Godflesh, and YOB are playing some European shows together. I’m hoping that means Neurosis will be added to the Brutal Assault lineup and maybe YOB will be added to a European festival I’m going to as well.

Mike Sullivan of Russian Circles (September 2018)

@sargenthouse @CrystalPortland @RussianCircles #RussianCircles

If all goes well, the new album will drop in the next couple months, and then they will hit the European festival circuit this summer where I can see them again (at least once).

Today’s photo comes from 2017 Copenhell. Since then Batushka has had some band controversy/division so it will be interesting to see how different they are at the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival in August.

Here is a pretty cool recap video of the 2018 Brutal Assault Festival. I was not there. 2019 will be my first time.

11 bands were just announced as additions to the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival. The one I’m most excited about is Voivod, one of my favorite bands for over 30 years and counting.

Bryan Giles of Red Fang @ 2017 Roskilde Festival

I was fortunate to see Red Fang, again, a few weeks back at the HiFi Music Hall in Eugene, Oregon as I happened to be there when they were. I don’t have any photos from that show, but here is one from a couple years back in Denmark.
