Another blur of a weekend, but I can't say it's been a bad blur, even though I failed to write my column for RPG.net in a timely fashion. With any luck I'll have it emailed off tomorrow. Sorry, Aeon.

And now, the requisite shallow metal album reviews.

Mastodon, Leviathan
Let's see... technical, rifftastic, modern metal with a Moby-Dick theme. I FAIL TO FIND ANY FUCKING PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

Amon Amarth, Fate of Norns
Despite sounding exactly like Amon Amarth should, there's a slight variance from their old albums here, albeit a good one. It'll take a few more listens to put my finger on it, but if you dig Amon Amarth, you can't go wrong. Even if you don't like them, this is worth your time if you want solid Swedish metal.
