Spare a thought for anyone releasing a new album at the end of December. Inevitably lost among the deranged whirlwind of Christmas and almost guaranteed to be forgotten by the New Year, these records are the unthinking lemmings of the music biz calendar.

As I Drink From The Infinite Well Of Inebriation

Metal's road to glory is littered with the broken corpses of bands that never quite received the recognition or success that they deserved.
