Whether due to the steady culmination of a cult following, fan pressure, snaky cashgrabs (*cough, cough, Pestilence, cough*), or simply the will to show the new kids on the block how it's done, waves and waves metalbands have been reforming left and right over the last few years, doing tours, releasing new material (for good or bad), and generally kicking ass. This journal is a little tool I'm going to use to keep track of who's back together, and who (in my opinion) still needs to get their ass in gear.

If you think I'm missing something please leave a comment.

I never thought that a video game would bring to me more metal. Fortunately I was wrong.

The game Brutal Legend has introduced me to bands like Brocas Helm, who are unheard of in Australia.

It also taught me there's so many ridiculous genres out there.

So my mention of the post Brocas Helm and their album Defender of the Crown
