Halloween will see the release of a new split 7" between Pennsylvania's metal-tinged shoegaze artist Planning for Burial and Brooklyn sludge metal band Psalm, released by Austin experimental black metal outfit Portrayal of Guilt.

Eric Clapton is a putz. He's technically a great guitarist, but i feel like there's no soul in anything he does...except "Layla." Goddamn, "Layla" is good. The Derek & The Dominos track is an all-timer, especially that last instrumental half. Listen below, our Daily Jam.
