Update: Thanks to our wonderful readers I have discovered the game IS available in the US. You can get it HERE!

Pick Of The Week: Severed #7

Image’s seven-issue run on Severed is finally over, and I don’t think there was any doubt from the get-go that this series would be anything short of phenomenal. Snyder gets a lot, and I mean a lot, of praise for his work over at DC on Batman, and Swamp Thing, which is Cool and the Gang, but Severed is another beast entirely.

NOFX To Release 7 Inch Covering ‘Obscure’ Hardcore Bands

While at this year’s Bonnaroo Fat Mike of NOFX sat down and talked about his feelings towards events like Bonnaroo as well as NOFX‘s upcoming 7″ covering “obscure” hardcore bands including Rebel Truth and Necros.

But being the NOFX fan that I am I’m sure I’ll buy every color 7″ when it comes out in August. 

Read past the break for NOFX‘s upcoming 7″ album cover as well as some live footage from their performance at Bonnaroo this year. Enjoy! READ MORE
