Update and The Haunted Tour Dates!

Hey everyone! I have been celebrating the Holidays with family and friends, so the blog has been put on the back burner for the few days. However, tomorrow, expect AMR’s end of the year Best Of 008 list which will include the best and the worst of albums over the past year, and detailed explanations why they were awesome or why they blew. In addition to this, I have gotten involved with a number of other hard rock and heavy metal blogs, in which we will each feature everyone’s best of lists (or links to the lists) in addition to our own! We want you all to experience the full breadth of our exponential metal blogging knowledge for your convenience! Or….we just want more hits to our site, both apply aptly. Anyway, to passify your needs, I am throwing out some North American tour dates featuring The Haunted, Nachtmystium, Kylesa and Intronaut. I am not a huge fan of The Haunted and am even less of a fan of them live (snorefest anyone?), but Kylesa and Intronaut are definitely worth shelling out the cash to see. Oh, did you notice the Massachusetts date? Metalfest anyone? Possibly? Maybe? Let’s hope, these guys would add some awesome color to this year’s line-up!
