Want a different list of Halloween Metal Songs? Metal Underground has their own list here.

So... now that you have a little bit of a Halloween fix... what are you doing tonight? Trick or treating? Handing out candy? Why do that junk when you can head out to the High Noon Saloon in Madison, WI to see Ultrea, the amazing Seven Signs and Tribal Call for a Halloween show. The event information is available on Facebook. I will see everyone there (because we all know I almost never miss a Seven Signs show)! 

Black With Envy

I'm not sure if this band is still out and about (I can't find any current shows or news), but I thought you guys might enjoy some of this music. Definitely check out Black With Envy on Reverbnation. I couldn't find a video (so this isn't technically a Featured Video), but enjoy some of the music provided here. And if anyone can tell me who the vocalist sounds like (especially in the track Black With Envy), you'll get a special prize because I can't put my finger on it.

Featured Video: So Much for Sweet Dreams - Look, I'm Burning

Today's Featured Video is "So Much for Sweet Dreams" from Look, I'm Burning, a local band from Madison, WI.

Check 'em out on Facebook now.

New Nonpoint Album and Tour Dates

Nonpoint Releases Self-Titled Album

Remember a few months ago when Nonpoint came to Madison to film a new music video? Well, I do - I was there! The video was for "I Said It" which is on their new self-titled album that went on sale one Tuesday, October 9th. I'll admit, I've been too busy to get it (since I like to have a physical copy it's not as easy as buying a digital copy online), but I will soon and will review it. Until then, I've been listening to it via the links the band has been posting on their Facebook page. So far, the album has had an amazing response from critics and fans. Also, a bunch of tour dates have been posted - so check it out below. I've also included a sneak-peak of the song "I Said It."
