2022 - The Year of Reunions and Releases

2022. A year of reunions and (re)releases. God Forbid, Shadows Fall, Kittie, Fear Factory....what year is this again?

God Forbid will be (re)releasing their epic "GONE FOREVER" on vinyl for the first time in many years and on an "ACID BLOOD SPLATTER" edition. They've also announced that they will play live for the first time in 9 years. They are slated to play at the Blue Ridge Rockfest in September along with a slew of reunion acts including Shadows Fall and Kittie.

 

  

Killswitch Engage's frontman, Jesse Leach, is tied to two upcoming releases this summer. Killswitch Engage will be releasing their LIVE AT THE PALLADIUM(WORCESTER) cd on June 3rd. This release was recorded in 2021 at a local (to me) haunt, the WORCESTER PALLADIUM. This was a particular time most bands were either cancelling tours or doing live streams. Now fans can experience this special live performance at their own leisure.

The second release is ironically SEEMLESS's second album "What Have We Become". Purchase St. Records (a fantastic store in New Bedford, Mass. that specializes in Metal releases) is behind the release of this album just as they were behind (re)releasing SEEMLESS's first album last year. This edition is a limited release distributed through REVHQ. The packaging looks fantastic.

The previously mentioned Blue Ridge Rockfest will also host a number of reunited acts the likes of Shadows Fall, Kittie, God Forbid, FEAR FACTORY(new vocalist), Saliva (featuring their original singer) and Saving Abel(featuring their original singer).
