…Well, I guess that didn’t take too terribly long. At the end of 2013, Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna announced – or rather hinted, to be more accurate – that they would be going on some sort of hiatus.

It might come as a surprise to many, but metal still gets played on the radio! In addition to channels like SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal and nationally syndicated shows like Full Metal Jackie, there are still hundreds of outlets for heavy music in the United States.
