So this is the week that was...

We kicked off with the latest slew of acts heading to Leipzig for this years Wave Gotik Treffan festival. There was also the good news that XP8's crowdsourcing campaign for their next album had achieved its goal in under a day. Also it was announced that the Merciful Nuns will be touring Europe with Fields Of The Nephilim later this year.

We've had album reviews from the likes of UK Decay, Tapewyrm, Shiny Toy Guns and Progenie Terrestre Pura as well as Kev's report from the first (but hopefully not the last) Dark-Cide-Fest.

Over in social media land we've seen a new music video from Killing Joke, a new Death Disco compilation, As well as a free download compilation from Zorch Factory Records. Suicide Commando hit the German charts, and Xotox have announced a little competition as well.

Speaking of competitions, we finally hit the closing date on out Foundations competition. To see if you won, you'll have to check the website on Monday!
