Nine Inch Nails - "Not The Actual Events"

If you read my Best Of 2016 Post, you're probably wondering what the hell this post is doing here, as I clearly stated that post would be my last of the year.  I meant that then, which was before I learned of the existence of a new Nine Inch Nails project.  An EP to be specific, titled Not The Actual Events, which was released Friday, December 23.  Just in time for a Merry Christmas, just too late to make me an honest man.  So I listened to it, and now I'm writing about it.  Is it good?  Is it a Christmas dud?  Does it already, just a week later, invalidate my Top EPs of the Year ranking???  Oh Trent Reznor, why must you hurt me so?!?!

EPs from 2014 Worth Checking Out

Laziness is something that's too often easy to give in to, especially when it comes to writing reviews.  In an effort to rectify the late dry spell I've had with said reviews, I figured it would be worthwhile to list out some EPs that have been released this year that are more than worth your time to check out. 

Check out the five selections I have for you all after the break!

If your day hasn't been heavy enough...the cure is right after the break.

New Blotted Science Teaser Too?! My Head Might Explode

Epicness.  That's really all that can be said about this day so far.  Now we've also been graced with a new teaser from Blotted Science (via Metalsucks).  It's about time they brought out some new material.  We haven't heard anything from these dudes since their debut album, The Machinations of Dementia, back in 2007.  Hopefully the new ep, The Animation of Entomology, will be out soon.

New BTBAM Is On It's Way!

That's right folks. Between The Buried and Me just annnounced this morning via their facebook page that they will be spending the next 10 days in Toronto with 3 time grammy winning producer David Bottrill (King Crimson, Tool, Muse, Dream Theater, Mudvayne) recording around 30 minutes of entirely new music! We will be hearing more updates soon I'm sure but I'm already curious what BTBAM has got planned for the upcoming new year. Perhaps an EP or another full length album (crossing my fingers big time on the full length album). We'll keep you posted as soon as things develop more.
