The Weekly Quickie: MORAN, Crimson Shiva, JILKA, WHITE JUDAS, ViX, Alice 9

I'm late, I know!  A-kon happened!  Better late than never, eh?  Well, sort of.  Looks like I'll be starting off with a stream of sucks, so hold on tight.

The first just announced yesterday and hit like an anvil.  Moran has announced their disbandment following their live on September 21.  After member losses and a planned hiatus, I guess it doesn't come as too big of a surprise, but it still hurts.  The band still has a one-man tour coming up, so make sure to support them until the end.

The Weekly Quickie: HOLY CRAP NEW RELEASES! Edition

I don't know about you guys, but my head (not to mention my wallet) is absolutely SPINNING over all the new releases announced for this summer and fall season so, I thought I'd help you guys get your head around it all by making up a list of some of the most notable and most sought after albums.  You ready?  Ok, let's go.
