The weekly compendium 11/04/2014

It's been another week already? Crikey. Well time flies, and yesterday I cast my mind back four years to the death of my all time favourite musician Peter Steele and wondered; if he had lived, there would have been another Type O Negative album and tour under his belt by now, and what they would have been like?

One person who passed this week though was wrestling legend The Ultimate Warrior, who seemed to just wrap everything up neatly before being suddenly taken. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday night and appeared at both Wrestlemania on Sunday and Monday Night Raw to a huge ovation from the live crowds. He then, after rebuilding his bridges with the company that made him a star, suddenly dropped dead from what appears to have been a heart attack on Tuesday evening. It just goes to show you never know what will happen tomorrow.

But enough doom and gloom. What have we been up to this week at IVM? Well we kicked things off with the news that Kinetik festival has been cancelled. We also had news from Attrition, My Silent Wake and Tiamat. We had a preview of the upcoming 20^th anniversary of Convergence festival. And reviews of the latest cuts from 3Teeth, Venal Flesh, Dubcon, Randolph & Mortimer, Non-Bio, and Blush Response.

Over on Facebook we had the news of a Peter Murphy live DVD from last years Bauhaus anniversary tour. JazColeman of Killing Joke is writing a requiem for the late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. There has been new music from iVardensphere and Aeon Sable. And a new video preview from In Death It Ends.

Right, I've got an interview to edit and a roof to fix this weekend so I'm going to sign off now and wish you all a great weekend.
