Children of Bodom rhythm guitarist Alexander "Aku" Kuoppala has parted ways with the band. It is said that he was no longer interested in the touring lifestyle and a replacement will be announced soon.
Amazing guitarist. CoB is a fairly recent discovery for me and I hold them in high acclaim, so this change to the band's lineup is a downer.
Type O Negative's new effort, which I happen to like, is also liked by the masses. "Life is Killing Me" debuted at #39 at Billboard's Top 200 and was #7 on the Hard Rock Chart.
And I just read a review of Hellfest, which I attended a couple weeks ago. The band I was most excited to see and didn't actually get to see for transpo reasons, is being called the highlight set of the entire festival. The band, Dillinger Escape Plan, has a following which is building fast, and rumors about the band are plenty.
Metal Judgment reviewer: "The band brought cataclysm to the stage with them." They had a fire-breather, and a "small arsenal of instruments that were used to create an ocean of sound."
They also did a surprise cover of "Wish" (yes, of the nin variety) and "Raining Blood."
The band is at the top of my must see list.
