Behemoth interview posted at http://upstatemetal.net - to hold you over while we work on the next issue!!!

UPstate UPdate

We had intended to release Issue #2 on Sept. 1st. Due to being slammed by show after show, interview after interview, and only two full-time staffers (that work countless other jobs), well, we're looking at Oct. or maybe even Nov. It may take us days just to sift through all the content and decide who makes the cut! Stay tuned.

Cruefest is today! Godsmack, Drowning Pool, Rev Theory!!! CAN'T WAIT! ^-^
