Heavy Planet Updates

Hi all! I just wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on around Heavy Planet as of late. Our main goal is to give as many bands exposure to as many people as possible and to expose fans to as much music as possible. One way we are trying to achieve that is through our Facebook page. Each day we will feature as much cool music as we can, this can include Bandcamp links, YouTube videos, exclusive streams, etc. To maximize daily exposure for our "New Band To Burn One To" or our CD reviews, we like to give the band or album featured a full day of exposure on the main page. Facebook is a great way for us to feature much more music whether it be new or classic. So "like" us today to hear something new or something you may not have heard in a while.

Back on Sunday October 16th the innagural Heavy Planet podcast premiered on Grip of Delusion Radio. The podcast will be monthly and will be available to download 24-48 hours after airing. Next podcast will feature some new, classic and obscure Sludge bands with Seth handling "DJ" honors. It will air on Sunday November 20th from 4-6 pm EST.

Heavy Planet has also opened up a new merchandise store. The artwork was designed by my wife. Get yourself some new threads and help support Heavy Planet while your at it. We are currently looking into a European version of the store as well for our international readers.

That's all I have. Thanks for your continued support and making Heavy Planet so successful.
