Two more things: Dope just released their new album, Blood Money Part 1, and it's kinda meh. There's the usual dumb, edgy, "Fuck you" metal, which is fine. That's why I enjoy the band. However, in most songs there are weird whiny melodical passages, some even with autotune. Still, there's some cool shit on there.

Avenged Sevenfold sneakily dropped their new album, The Stage. I didn't have time to build up hype because it was first announced to be released in December, but maybe that's for the better. This way I listened to it without expectations, especially since the album before that, Hail to the King, was such a snorefest.
The Stage goes in a direction the band's never gone before. It's relatively Progressive and I needed a few listens before I got into it. All in all, it's a fantastic album. It's fantastic in a different way than their albums before, but you could say that about every one of their albums (except the aforementioned snorefest that is HttK). Also, they got Neil deGrasse Tyson to give a really cool speech at the end!
