I HOPE YOU GOT RAILED TO DEICIDE

Someone announced their wedding to Roadrunner Records, which of course triggered a hail of new In the Pit activity this week.

First, check out the Mail Bag where people asked for Slipknot backstage passes, I gave my best wishes to the newly-engaged, and someone complimented us on the new Black Stone Cherry album.

Sam Totman said there were too many dudes at Mayhem (what else is new?), but he did manage to get snapped with a cute redhead. Check her out in the Fan Photos section.

We're keeping our poll on which RR band would make the best name for a sex act open. VOTE HERE. Currently 36 Crazyfists is in the lead.

Finally, we've gotten a lot of email complimenting us on the Skull Sessions podcast, so we opened up a place for you to comment publicly in this week's Forum.

ALL THINGS BLACK STONE CHERRY

Roadrunner Records is proud to present the sophomore effort from Black Stone Cherry, Folklore and Superstitions. On this album the band incorporates lyrical tales with upbeat riffing and atypical conventions like turkey calls, making it a record that is pleasing as it is unpredictable. The band recorded the album at Black Bird Studios, which is owned and operated by country artist Martina McBride, in Nashville, Tennessee. The album crackles with a down-home, feel good, rock ‘n roll current and was produced and mixed by veteran rock producer Bob Marlette.

Tracks:

1. Blind Man
2. Please Come In
3. Reverend Wrinkle
4. Soul Creek
5. Things My Father Said
6. The Bitter End
7. Long Sleeves
8. Peace Is Free
9. Devil's Queen
10. The Key
11. You
12. Sunrise
13. Ghost Of Floyd Collins

NEW VIDEO!



For your viewing pleasure, check out the brand new video for the first single, "Blind Man", off of the album. Watch the band rock the walls of the old Waverly Hills Sanatorium. The video is the main feature this week on our video page.




That's not all either, the guys sat down for an interview to discuss how their musical influences growing up affected the making of the album, Folklore and Superstition which is out today!
