Hey all, sorry for my prolonged absence - extracurricular responsibilities, you know how it is. Anyway, here is my next long-awaited (at least by me) review: Manifests of Human Existence, a very tasty slice of prog-tech death from little-known Greeks Echidna (nothing to do with the Australian animal, as I discovered - actually the 'Mother of All Monsters' in Greek mythology). This one caught me completely off-guard, as it is an extremely accomplished, mature and well-executed album, all the more astonishing given that it is the band's debut! This is the sort of thing I really love about metal; how something you've never heard of can come along and just totally blow you away, barely giving you time to catch your breath before the compulsion sets in to listen to it again, and again, and lots more after that. Commence review!
A place for me, Jimmy, to simultaneously embrace my love of all things metal, and give you something (hopefully) entertaining to read. Also some news. Occasionally. Now GET READING! Oh, and thanks for dropping by ;)

News!
So...home from work at 3:30am, what are you gonna do first? Why, write a blog entry of course! I'm trying to write myself to sleep, so if I trail off you'll have to forgive me. I did have the extraordinarily good fortune to find $70 on the ground at work tonight though, so adrenalin levels are high...anyway, on with the metal!
