Weekend Heavy Metal: Bison b.c., Isis, Judas Priest

This is being written from a hotel room, just about 10 miles from the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Our ears are still ringing from last night, and the coffee is still kicking in, but we're getting ready for day number two. Follow along on the Noisecreep Twitter, and check out our friends' updates, too: Metal Injection, Metal Sucks, and Metal Insider. Lots of metal!
