Deafening Sound

Everyone has bands they've been following for years. I've got a couple. Up until recently when they decided to go all exclusive and develop a "fanclub" you had to pay money to join, Bleeding Through was one of mine. Yeah, they're not the greatest band in the world but they were one of the first bands I got into before they got famous, so I've been a pretty dedicated fan up until recently. Another is The Dillinger Escape Plan, just because well...they rock. Still another, is Jacksonville, Florida's Evergreen Terrace. I remember several years ago when I had to mail order a copy of the band's Burned Alive By Time, and two days after I got that, I mail ordered for their first full length, Losing All Hope Is Freedom. I then remember waiting what seemed like an eternity for a new album, and it came in the form of a live recording, At Our Worst, and a cover album, Writer's Block. After getting acquainted with the idea that the band was probably going to break up before they put out another record, I was then greeted with the band's last studio album, Sincerity Is An Easy Disguise In This Business. I'll admit, after waiting like three years for a new record that one was a bit of a letdown, but i still loved it anyway, and i listened to it nonstop for weeks. Then, big news that the band had jumped ship from smaller recording label Eulogy Records to corporate heavyweight Metal Blade (which, yeah...to this day i still don't completely understand) and they were in the works with a new record, titled Wolfbiker...a decision almost as strange as the move to Metal Blade. I was pretty confused by ET at this point needless to say, but since the guys had never truly let me down up until now I hoped for the best.
