Anyone know why new releases seem to come out on the same date? Take today for example, a slew of new releases. This happens all the time, just go through the new releases this year at Metal Storm to see that so is it something among the labels as it clearly can't be just coincidence?

Everything seems to be released on a Friday these days.  Don't know why. 

Google Global Release Day.  Seems from 2015 Friday was considered the day all new music was released.

Ah, I see that now, the big release dates in March are the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, must be a Friday thing alright for whatever reason

Yeah almost every Friday theres 2 or 3 releases you'd be interested in last few years..its genuinely hard to keep up

I completely missed Michael Angelo Batio becoming the guitarist for Manowar.

I'm trying to go to see them in Istanbul in July, at a festival alongside Candlemass and Opeth, not bad  .

Get back to me when they have Jim Gillette in on backing vocals.

Saw this pop up. Never heard of Gel before but that's some absolute madness. I remember reading about the guy behind Soft Kill around the time of An Open Door, which is an exceptional album. From what I remember, he was ripping people off. He's progressed quite a bit from that.

Absolutely shitty behavior from that dude, spending all the bands fund on OF, is one thing but uploading stolen nudes to reddit belonging to bandmates is just fucking horrible.

They were a decent band too.

Listening to Overkills Years of Decay, and never noticed before how in the title track Blitz sounds so similar to Bruce Dickinson

And there's a very strong resemblance to the middle section of Elimination and Fear Of The Dark

Blitz was also an elite level fencer at that time.
