Halford plugs our boys Pelican yet again...maybe that Priest + Pelican split will really happen to coincide with the tour they're doing together.

For too many reasons to list, this is awesome.

Part 1 of Oxbow frontman Eugene Robinson's "video tour diary" is up now on Metal Kult (an online magazine of sorts from the folks over at Guitar World). The fact that they actually lent a camera to Eugene to use while playing a string of dates with Isis is beyond us...but as Eugene points out, they probably just wanted to get some Isis coverage...which they did...and come to think of it we've not actually confirmed they ever got the camera back...

So, for the Tusk pre-order we decided to do things a little different on the extras. No long sleeves or hoodies this time, we're keeping it simple with an American Apparel t-shirt this time. The shirt above is a limited edition color scheme and we've only printed 60 of them. If they don't sell out during the pre-order you'll still have a chance to grab one from the store by itself, and after that they're gonezors.

Track Listing:

1. The Everlasting Taste of Disguise (07:32)
2. Cold Twisted Aisle (07:43)
3. Life's Denial (05:58)
4. The Lewdness and Frenzy of Surrender (16:13)

The Resisting Dreamer Media Player

Its last minute and its totally VIP...and if you respond now chances are good you'll be in the house as Jesu (with Earthless as support) play to a cozy crowd at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip here in LA. You can't buy tickets for this gig, you gotta rsvp with your name to 'rsvp@beyondmg.com'. If you've ever been to the Viper Room then you'll understand what we mean when we say space is limited...

see you there.
