CIRCLE PIT \\ ASKING ALEXANDRIA: 'Run Free' Video Released

The live video for the song "Run Free" from the British metalcore act ASKING ALEXANDRIA can be seen below. Filmed at the band's sold-out January 19 show at Brixton O2 Academy in London, England, the clip gives fans a taste of what’s to come from ASKING ALEXANDRIA's third album, "From Death To Destiny", which will be released on August 6 via Sumerian Records. The CD was recorded with renowned producer Joey Sturgis (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, EMMURE).

Most of the new CD was tracked at Sturgis' studio in Indiana, while the vocals and strings and choir parts were laid down at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California.

"It's taken long enough!" ASKING ALEXANDRIA guitarist Ben Bruce told Metal Hammer magazine. "It wasn't because we were being lazy, but because we wanted it to be perfect. 'From Death To Destiny' is our third album and we wanted to make sure we'd bring out the best possible record we could."

He continued: "This is our biggest sounding record and alongside the classic ASKING ALEXANDRIA stuff — the breakdown sections, heavy sections, fast sections — we've thrown a lot of new influences in there. It's a very diverse album and I think people who pigeonholed us are going to realize they were wrong when they hear it."

Premiere\\ CHIMAIRA: 'All That's Left Is Blood' Video Released

CHIMAIRA's video for the song "All That's Left Is Blood" can be seen below. The track comes off the band's seventh studio album, "Crown Of Phantoms", which will be released on July 30 via eOne Music.

Says CHIMAIRA vocalist Mark Hunter: "This video is the epitome of 'metal'. Headbanging and blood. What more do you need?"

CHIMAIRA will embark on the "Crown Of Phantoms" tour at the end of the month. Dates stretch coast to coast in the U.S. with support from THE BROWNING, THREAT SIGNAL and DARK SERMON.

The band recently made headlines by way of crowd-funding a fan version CD/DVD where they doubled their initial goal via IndieGoGo.

"Crown Of Phantoms" track listing:

01. The Machine
02. No Mercy
03. All That's Left Is Blood
04. I Despise
05. Plastic Wonderland
06. The Transmigration
07. Crown Of Phantoms
08. Spineless
09. Kings Of The Shadow World
10. Wrapped In Violence
11. Love Soaked Death

In a recent interview with Ghost Cult, Hunter stated about CHIMAIRA's new CD: "'Crown Of Phantoms' is the culmination of three years of going through tons of changes, harsh realities but also excitement. It's something brand new and when you put all those things together you get 'Crown Of Phantoms' as a result. These are exciting times for the band and it's the polar opposite of where I was with the band two years ago.

Regarding whether he thought of packing it in after the numerous lineup changes that CHIMAIRA went through since the release of 2011's "The Age Of Hell", Hunter said: "Many people on the Internet thought we were done for. By the timing and the speed things were unraveling, I had the luxury of not thinking rationally and I simply soldiered on. It was happening so fast and not thinking about quitting was a sort of defense in a way. I defended what I hold dear and what I wanted to fight for. Of course there were moments of insecurity and doubts. Luckily, I had a good team and a good support system of friends and family around me telling me that I was crazy if I wanted to change the band name or quit altogether. They pointed out that bands like MEGADETH and BLACK SABBATH went through countless lineup changes. BLACK SABBATH had a super successful era without Ozzy. Of course, with MEGADETH, 'Rust In Peace' was one of their best albums and it wasn't recorded with the same lineup who did 'Peace Sells', which is another MEGADETH classic. There are more examples of bands that went through major lineup changes and still had major success. Of course, to be in this situation is scary as hell.

CHICKS\\ Jennifer Gottlieb: a gostosa do That Metal Show

JENNIFER GOTTLIEB é conhecida da maioria dos fãs de hard rock e metal como a ‘Miss Box Of Junk’ da série televisiva ‘That Metal Show’, do canal estadunidense VH1, apresentado por EDDIE TRUNK, DON JAMISON e JIM FLORENTINE.
 
O site LEGENDARY ROCK INTERVIEWS conversou com Gootlieb, que participará de mais uma temporada do programa [a décima-segunda já está sendo produzida] e expôs um pouco mais do currículo da rainha das camisetas cortadas e também abordou a típica atitude recalcada e onanista dos fãs de metal que põem em xeque o gosto musical da moça – como se isso fosse da conta de qualquer um desses losers. O que segue abaixo é um pequeno trecho traduzido da conversa.
[...]

LRI: Você, claro, é mais famosa como a Miss Box Of Junk, mas seu currículo aponta pra várias habilidades diferentes, incluindo personal training, atuação e outros talentos. Eu vi um vídeo de sua aparição como Linda na adaptação da Broadway de ‘Wedding Singer’ [baseado no filme de Adam Sandler comercializado no Brasil como ‘Afinado no Amor’] e você canta muito bem. Foi divertido fazer aquilo e é verdade que você também faz uma ótima imitação de Britney Spears?
Jennifer: Interpretar Linda em ‘The Wedding Singer’ foi a realização de um sonho pra mim. Foi, de longe, uma das maiores experiências de minha vida! É verdade que eu faço uma boa imitação de Britney Spears. Na verdade eu a fiz em meu teste para entrar no That Metal Show, e eu acho que foi isso que me garantiu a vaga.

LRI: Trabalhar como personal trainer deve lhe realizar muito, já que ajuda aos clientes atingirem metas. Você já falou de boa forma com algum dos caras do TMS ou dos convidados?
Jennifer: Eu simplesmente amo ser uma personal trainer! Eddie está numa jornada de perca de peso, então de vez em quando a gente troca uma ideia. Atualmente eu treino Jim Norton três dias por semana em Nova Iorque. Nós tocamos Black Sabbath durante os exercícios!
[...]

LRI: Algumas pessoas na internet tem questionado sua adoração pelo hard rock ou pelo metal. Claro que a maioria das garotas não ouve só metal, mas vamos lhe dar o benefício da dúvida e dizer que você gosta MESMO de metal. De que bandas você gosta e de quais você aprendeu a gostar desde que entrou pro TMS?
Jennifer: As pessoas ainda devem dizer isso porque quando eu entrei pro TMS, eu não conhecia muito sobre metal. Contudo, eu tinha acabado de fazer uma turnê interpretando inda onde eu usava Lita Ford como minha inspiração para o personagem. Eu AMAVA me aquecer ao som de ‘Kiss Me Deadly’ na coxia. Estar no TMS me abriu para o mundo maravilhoso do Metal, e eu me apaixonei por ele. Não há nada melhor do que mandar um Metallica, Sabbath, Poison e Guns N’ Roses durante um malho puxado! [...]
Num liga pra esses punhetões troo não, Jen! Está tudo perdoado!!!

SEFOTEU\\ Killswitch Engage: baterista sofre acidente e perderá turnê

A banda de Massachusetts KILLSWITCH ENGAGE liberou o seguinte pronunciamento:
"Temos algumas notícias não tão boas para compartilhar. Nosso baterista, Justin Foley [foto abaixo] recentemente teve um acidente de moto e quebrou sua clavícula. Então ele não poderá comparecer aos shows da Ásia/Europa na próxima semana. Com sorte conseguimos achar um substituto rapidamente, então não precisaremos cancelar nenhuma data. O baterista substituto será Jordan Mancino do AS I LAY DYING. Após estes imprevistos, Justin estará de volta à estrada em tempo de nossa turnê americana com o LAMB OF GOD, que começa em Outubro."

Justin Disse: "Eu nunca perdi um show, e estou devastado de ter de faltar a esta turnê. Eu gostaria de pedir desculpas aos fãs e a todos os envolvidos com o KILLSWITCH ENGAGE pelos inconvenientes que causei. Farei tudo e meu poder para sarar e retornar com força total o mais rápido possível. neste meio tempo, tenho certeza que Jordan vai ser ótimo e a banda não vai perder uma batida sem mim. Estou honrado de ter um músico tão monstruoso me substituindo. Vejo vocês em breve."

Jordan adicionou: "Estou muito feliz em ter a oportunidade de ajudar Justin e meus irmãos do KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Alguns anos atrás, Justin me substituiu em turnê, enquanto estava lidando com o falecimento de meu pai. Agora posso retribuir este favor com a esperança que Justin melhore de seus machucados e toque como sempre fez pelos fãs do KILLSWITCH ENGAGE!"

LYRIC videos \\ NEWSTED: 'Above All' Lyric Video Released

The official lyric video for the song "Above All" from NEWSTED — the new band featuring former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted and STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok — can be seen below. The track comes off NEWSTED's debut album, "Heavy Metal Music", which will be released on August 6 in North America via Chophouse Records/Collective Sounds and August 5 in Europe through Spinefarm Records. Jason told Billboard.com the 11-song album will be very similar to the band's debut EP, "Metal", which sold around 6,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 62 on The Billboard 200 chart. "The EP was always intended to be the primer, a sampler of what was to come on the LP," he said. "It's all metal all the time. It's not all fast, but it is all heavy."

Regarding how the material for NEWSTED's debut album came together, Jason told Loudwire: "It started out as my seeds for the first eleven songs that I made on my GarageBand thing. I wrote all the tracks — guitars, bass, drums, everything and gave them to Jessie [Farnsworth, guitar] and Jesus [Mendez Jr., drums] and had them go learn it, put their artistry on it and so it was collaborative in that way for the first batch. Like the four songs on the EP came from that initial eleven, so that's how those songs went. Each day as we get deeper into the songs, the collaboration gets deeper as well. I have come a long way from my tunnel vision of 'Only my ideas are good enough' bullshit, and I'm a lot more open to everyone's ideas and the artistry of each person to make it what it is. And three heads is better than one and that kind of thing. So it has become more collaborative as we go. I've written ten more since that time in October last year and a few of them have made their way onto this LP now. Once again, they were all my seeds, but now that we have Mike Mushok in the band and I give the music to all three of those guys, now I have three great artists bringing back their responses and their counterpoint playing to my ideas, so it's becoming more and more collaborative every day and on this LP there will be shared writing credits on at least half of the songs with the writing credits now."

"Heavy Metal Music" track listing:

01. Heroic Dose
02. Soldierhead
03. ...As The Crow Flies
04. Ampossible
05. Long Time Dead
06. Above All
07. King Of The Underdogs
08. Nocturnus
09. Twisted Tail Of The Comet
10. Kindevillusion
11. Futureality

As previously reported, three songs from NEWSTED — "Long Time Dead", "King Of The Underdogs" and "Heroic Dose" — are featured in the newest episode of Break Media's hit web series "Man At Arms".

NEWSTED's heavy metal pairs as background for the gritty series, which follows famous Hollywood blacksmith Tony Swatton as he builds real-life versions of iconic pop-culture ("Pirates Of The Caribbean", "The Matrix", "Spider-Man", etc.) weapons by hand.

NEWSTED is taking part in this year's edition of Gigantour, the critically acclaimed package festival founded in 2005 by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. Also appearing on the bill are headliners MEGADETH, along with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DEVICE, HELLYEAH and DEATH DIVISION.

NEWSTED is being forced to miss this week's Gigantour dates in Canada after Jason was diagnosed with "walking pneumonia."

NEWSTED kicked off its first-ever U.S. tour on April 19 at Red House in Walnut Creek, California. The 14-date trek concluded on May 23 in Asbury Park, New Jersey and led into a number of European festival appearances for the band.

Perguntei se ele já falava a língua, e ele respondeu: ‘de jeito nenhum. Toda vez que eles falam em português é porque estão resolvendo alguma besteira que eu fiz’”, concluiu a modelo.

O Catch localiza-se ao número 21 da Nona Avenida e a especialidade da casa são mariscos e peixes de água salgada, adjetivo que descreve bem os preços do cardápio do local.

MEDA \\ MACHINE HEAD Frontman Attends Birthday Party Dressed In Drag

MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn turned 46 this past Friday, July 19, while on tour with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. To commemorate the occasion, as well as to celebrate the birthday of Mayhem and Rockstar Taste Of Chaos organizer John Reese, a party was thrown last night, with Flynn sporting a complete style transformation by attending the event dressed in drag (see photo below). He says: "My goal was [to look like] the 70-year-old hooker from the movie 'Barfly'. SUCCESS!!!"

In the latest installment of his online blog, "The General Journals: Diary Of A Frontman... And Other Ramblings - Life Affirming", Flynn wrote: "I'm going to be 46 [on July 19].

"46!!??

"Born under a bad moon on July 19th, 1967.

"Where the hell does the time go!?

"I'll tell you where. It goes into a whole lotta rockin'! We’re talking about an entire lifetime of playing metal for a living.

"Since I was 16 years old, I've been playing some heavy-ass music, damn near 30 years now and I tell you what… I may look a little bit older, I may crawl outta bed a little bit slower, but I'm out here killing this shit!! Giving kids half my age a run for their money and just plain KILLING IT! Let's see how many of these kids are still around when they get to my age? Will they still be playing heavy? Will they still be in it for life? Will they still love it? Will they stick it out through all the up’s and downs 30 years into it? Will they still be in it for the thrill? And above all, will they still able to make 5,000 to 10,000 people lose their fucking minds night in, night out?

"We'll see.

"It's been fun getting here and I'm feeling really good right now. 46 years old...? Nah... 46 years young, motherfucker!"

CIRCLE PIT \\ A BREACH OF SILENCE: 'There Will Be Blood' Video Released

"There Will Be Blood", the new video from Brisbane, Australia's powercore band A BREACH OF SILENCE, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Caleb Graham, produced by David Wayland (PARKWAY DRIVE) and filmed near Byron Bay and Lennox Heads in NWS, Australia.

The "There Will Be Blood" video begins as a bank robbery in progress by the band wearing masks portraying U.S. presidents, Saddam Hussein and Pope Benedict. A high-speed chase ensues on a deserted road throughout Byron Bay, where the thieves start disagreeing over how the "loot" should be divided amongst them. Chaos ensues on the cliffs of Lennox Heads (captured by some amazing helicopter fly-by footage), as the band begins fighting on the edge of the cliffs, risking their lives over the stolen money in the briefcase.

"In life, you are faced with tough issues and you need to face them head-on if you want to succeed," states A BREACH OF SILENCE guitarist Mat Cosgrove. "The lyrics — there will be blood (meaning there will be pain) but no remorse (push through to achieve and get on with it) — essentially reflect what the song is about." Bassist Blair Layt adds: "The video basically shows that we have robbed a bank. We all start to get greedy and fight. In that moment, we are on top of the world achieving crazy big things, but it can fall down so easily over just one little thing."

"There Will Be Blood" comes off A BREACH OF SILENCE's new full-length CD entitled "Dead Or Alive", which will be released October 1 by Eclipse Records. The effort was produced by Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd (BRING ME THE HORIZON, OPETH, IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY) and recorded at HK Studios in Brisbane, Australia.

A BREACH OF SILENCE is:

Mat Cosgrove (guitar)
Blair Layt (bass, vocals)
Andrew Cotterell (drums)
Rhys Flannery (vocals)
Kerrod Dablestein (guitar)

Premiere\\ LIMP BIZKIT's 'Ready To Go' Video Featuring LIL WAYNE Posted Online

The video for LIMP BIZKIT and Lil Wayne's new collaborative single, "Ready To Go" can be seen below. The track is being released via LIMP BIZKIT's new label home, Cash Money, Lil Wayne's longtime record company. "It'll be a great way to let the world know that [the band] is a part of us," Cash Money Records co-CEO and founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams told Billboard.com more than a year ago. "It's rock, but it's hip-hop-rock. I think we got that hip-hop-rock swagger."

LIMP BIZKIT is putting the finishing touches on its new studio album, "Stampede Of The Disco Elephants".

"We're really trying to get it hammered out here," LIMP BIZKIT guitarist Wes Borland told Billboard in May. "We're done with most of the music, pretty much all the music. The lyrics and vocals are probably 30 percent done, and [Fred Durst] is working as we speak, on tour."

Regarding the musical direction of LIMP BIZKIT's new CD, Borland said that the songs on "Stampede Of The Disco Elephants" have a "very live and sort of wild" feel. Moreover, fans shouldn't expect the same old LIMP BIZKIT on the album; instead, there will be quite a bit of experimentation on the effort. "I think it's a little bit more, sort of playful, taking chances, a little less pop, structured type of stuff," Borland said. "I don't want to say it [sounds] younger, but maybe a little more carefree, musically, to where we don't over-think what we're doing."

LIMP BIZKIT in 2011 parted ways with Interscope, the label that released all of the band's records thus far through its subsidiaries Flip, Geffen and Suretone Records.

When LIMP BIZKIT's deal with Cash Money was announced in March 2012, many wondered why the popular rap label would work with a band whose latest album, "Gold Cobra", has sold less than 100,000 copies in the United States since its June 2011 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "LIMP BIZKIT, to me, is just a perfect match for us," said Birdman. "It was something that [Durst] was interested in doing, and I was already a fan, and I was like, 'Let's do it.' It's good for the brand, it will bring a different look for us, and we're definitely trying to expand on that side of music."

In a recent interview with XXL, Durst said about how LIMP BIZKIT's collaboration with Cash Money came about: "I've been a fan of Wayne and Birdman and the whole Cash Money thing for a while. I went in the studio to do a track with Polow Da Don, and we ended up finding one of his beats I loved and we started working on the track and came up with 'Ready To Go'. Wes Borland came down and played the guitar — it was a hip-hop version at the time with hip-hop drums — and after I was done, I had asked Polow, 'I would love to get Wayne on the track, you think he'd be into it?' He said, 'You want me to send it to him?' So he sent it to him and got a response back that he likes it he's down with it. As we were trying to get off of Interscope, I had asked Cash Money if they wanted to put that track out themselves on their label, and just because I knew it'd get out and I knew it'd be something really cool, because I knew Wayne liked rock and skateboarding — all the things I like — and I got a call back saying, 'Why don't you guys just sign with Cash Money? Y'know, we're big fans and we'd love to have LIMP BIZKIT over here. We'd let you do what you want to do.' That's how it happened, and bingo! I loved our conversations with Baby and Slim and felt like it was just a good fit."

GIGANTOUR 2013 \\ Gigantour: Jason Newsted ausente devido a pneumonia

No fim da tarde de ontem (21/07), Mustaine publicou a seguinte nota: "Update - Jason Newsted won't be with us for a bit. He has walking pneumonia. Get well soon! ‪#‎Gigantour‬ ‪#‎Newsted‬" (Atualização - JN não estará conosco. Ele está com pneumonia).

Rocknews\\ Motley Crue: banda avassala NY em show sem luzes nem pirotecnia

A banda maior do hard rock angeleno oitentista, o MÖTLEY CRÜE, está atualmente em uma pequena turnê pelos EUA, e a julgar pelo show de anteontem -16 de julho - em Big Flats, estado de Nova Iorque, a banda usa o momento para despojar-se de superproduções- que devem voltar na temporada de Las Vegas esse semestre – e mostrar que ainda tem o que a fez o que é: a pegada de rua que a diferenciava dos Dokkens e Strypers da vida.

Remarcado duas vezes e realizado numa terça-feira, o aparato de palco que a banda geralmente leva a suas apresentações sumiu: nada de montanha-russa, rampas, pirotécnica, jogo de luzes [apenas a iluminação normal de palco], sem telões, dois solos de MICK MARS e o mais impressionante - TOMMY LEE & NIKKI SIXX não se dirigiram à plateia NENHUMA VEZ [o que deve ser inédito na história da banda].

Nikki estava trajando a maquilagem da turnê do álbum ‘Shout At The Devil’, ou algo muito parecido. VINCE NEIL parecia estar se divertindo muito, e só ele falava entre as canções, e mesmo assim, muito pouco.

Talvez a banda estivesse bem descansada e como estão no começo de uma mini-turnê, estejam bem dispostos, ou talvez um show sem maiores firulas acabe formatando a vibe do show para um clima mais intimista e ‘de garagem’, como o METALLICA se propôs a fazer na turnê de 1998-1999 [que não tinha telões mesmo em lugares enormes].

O grupo tocou por exatos 90 minutos, sem parar, e, portanto, sem bis, e o set list foi o costumeiro – destaque para as bissextas ‘Piece Of Your Action’, ‘Too Fast For Love’ e ‘Louder Than Hell’.
No fim da noite, vários presentes afirmaram que aquele havia sido o melhor do Crüe ao qual eles já haviam estado.

Premiere\\ VOIVOD: 'Target Earth' Video Released

"Target Earth", the video for the title track of the new album from Canadian progressive metal pioneers VOIVOD, can be seen below. The clip, created by Italian filmmaker and multimedia artist Nicola Piovesan, recreates in 3D motion graphics the visions and artwork of VOIVOD drummer Michel "Away" Langevin.

Comments Langevin: "I met Nicola Piovesan at the VOIVOD/UNKIND show in Helsinki on October 31, 2012. We had a discussion about my 3D graphics for the album 'Negatron' and Nicola mentioned the possibility of him doing a 3D motion video for our new album, 'Target Earth'. After viewing his fantastic video for 'The Core' by the band ON|OFF|MAN, we knew he was the right person to capture the cyber world of VOIVOD. To us, the result is simply spectacular!"

Check out stills from the video at this location.

Nicola Piovesan (aka: chaosmonger) is an Italian filmmaker and multimedia artist living in Finland. He was born in April 1979 in Venice and moved to Bologna in 1999 where he graduated in cinema in 2004. Piovesan started making videos in 2001, and they have been screened in about 70 festivals worldwide to-date, winning more than 30 awards. He has worked as a freelance since 2005, collaborating with various production houses and private clients to produce independent short films, documentaries, music videos, and much more. In 2008 he also started teaching cinema in a high school in Como, which resulted in him moving to Milan. In the fall of 2011, Piovesan stopped teaching and moved to Helsinki, Finland where he currently lives, continuing his work as a filmmaker and visual artist.

VOIVOD's new album, "Target Earth", sold around 1,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD was issued on January 22 via the band's own company, Iron Gang Factory, and Century Media.

VOIVOD's previous album, "Infini", opened with around 840 units back in July 2009.

"Target Earth" was recorded in early 2012 at Pierre Rémillard's (OBLIVEON, CRYPTOPSY, KRISIUN, MISERY INDEX) Wild Studio in a small town called St-Zénon in Quebec, Canada and was mixed by Sanford Parker (PELICAN, NACHTMYSTIUM). The follow-up to 2009's "Infini" contains the band's first music to be written with guitarist Dan Mongrain (MARTYR) following the passing of original axeman Denis "Piggy" D'Amour in 2005. The original art was once again drawn by drummer Michel "Away" Langevin and features color schemes from each one of the band's previous albums.

CIRCLE PIT \\ LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TESTAMENT: North American Tour Dates Announced

Longtime friends LAMB OF GOD and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have joined forces for what will undoubtedly be one of the essential "can't-miss" tours of the fall of 2013. The tour launches October 22 in Toronto and canvases much of the U.S and Canada. The two bands are a dominant live pairing, and will combine for 28 North American shows in total. Support for all shows except Los Angeles will be provided by thrash legends TESTAMENT, with HUNTRESS opening all shows.

LAMB OF GOD will end the North American portion of the "Resolution" record cycle with this tour. It will include a coast to coast visit to all major Canadian cities which will be LAMB OF GOD's first visit to Canada on this cycle other than a festival play in June in Montebello and a show in Toronto in January 2012. In the last year, both "Ashes Of The Wake" and "Sacrament" have been certified gold in Canada. LAMB OF GOD will finish the "Resolution" cycle completely with a visit to Europe and South Africa in January 2014. Details on that tour will be released late August.

Released in April, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's sixth album, "Disarm The Descent", debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200; at No. 1 on Hard Rock Chart; and at No. 1 on the Rock Chart. It marked the first album with frontman Jesse Leach at the vocal helm since 2002's now-classic "Alive Or Just Breathing". The album has been warmly embraced and well-received by both fans and the media, as it has just crossed the 100,000-sold mark in only three months of release. Having just wrapped a highly successful U.S summer headline tour, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE look to continue their "Disarm The Descent" record cycle with this fall trek.

Both LAMB OF GOD and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have been wanting to hit the road together for quite some time now and are both excited to finally get the chance.

Premiere\\ AVENGED SEVENFOLD: 'Hail To The King' Track Listing;

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will release its sixth studio album, "Hail To The King", on August 27. The long-awaited follow-up to 2010's "Nightmare" was once again produced by Mike Elizondo and is the first to be wholly written without drummer and key songwriter James "The Rev" Sullivan, who died in December 2009. Sullivan has since been replaced by Arin Ilejay, a former member of CONFIDE.

In other news, AVENGED SEVENFOLD has announced the "Hail To The King" tour — a massive headlining U.S. arena tour to take place this October and the band's first full scale American tour since 2011. The run of dates will kick off in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday, October 3 and wrap up on October 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Supporting the band on all dates will be special guests DEFTONES and GHOST B.C.

Additionally, starting today, fans of AVENGED SEVENFOLD can pre-order a special, limited-edition box set of "Hail To The King". The antique gold colored embossed foil wrapped "treasure box" will feature exclusive "Hail To The King" artwork and include a deluxe version of the album on CD with a download card to an extra bonus track, an exclusive Canvas Print, a 20-page photo book featuring photos of the band through out the years, a Death Bat Challenge Coin, Death Bat Skeleton Key, an instant download of the new single, and a download of the album on street date. Fans that purchase the box set will also receive pre-sale access to the upcoming U.S. tour. The box is available for purchase here and once they sell out no more will be made.

"Hail To The King" track listing:

01. Shepherd Of Fire
02. Hail To The King
03. Doing Time
04. This Means War
05. Requiem
06. Crimson Day
07. Heretic
08. Coming Home
09. Planets
10. Acid Rain

Asked how "Hail To The King" is different from AVENGED SEVENFOLD's previous efforts, AVENGED SEVENFOLD singer M. Shadows told U.K.'s Kerrang! magazine: "For the last few records, people have asked what we were listening to — and it's always been the same records, it hasn't changed. It's always been PANTERA, METALLICA, MEGADETH and AC/DC. We feel that metal dropped off after the '90s in terms of production and songwriting. Metal music isn't at the forefront as much as it used to be."

He continued: "We wanted to write a record that was highly influenced by the early '90s records and mid-'80s records we grew up on. Then we went back even further and were influenced by [BLACK] SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN. We studied those records, looked at what they were doing and how they were doing it. A lot of them came out of the blues, so we studied the blues and classical music. We just wanted to write a record that was different."

Regarding what it felt like to be writing a full-length album for the first time without Jimmy, Shadows said: "When we started the band, The Rev didn't write much. Up until 'City of Evil' [2005] and the [2007 self-titled] white album, he didn't write much except his drum parts. So we kind of got back to before that. I definitely didn't like it very much, though. [In the past], we'd get to a point where we had written six or seven songs and we'd feel completely drained. That was when he would always come in with three or four great songs, and that would pretty much fill the album. He brought a different influence; he was a full-on metalhead for life, and he could always write in whatever style you were looking for. So when we got to tracks six and seven for this album, we really missed him. I really wished Jimmy was there to finish the album up. But that wasn't the case, so we had to really take our time."

Shadows also spoke about how Arin has settled into the band saying: "He killed it on this record! He did everything we needed him to do. We didn't go in there and write all the drum fills for him, or get on Pro Tools to fix it all. He just killed it. He knew what he needed to do, put in lots of work in pre-production and mentally got to the place he needed to be."

He added: "The record will surprise people, because the drumming is completely different to anything we've done before. That's because of the way the songwriting is. We wrote songs that needed this type of drumming. I spoke to Arin and said, 'Look, people are going to come at you because of what this record sounds like. They're going to think you should be overplaying like Jimmy and Mike [Portnoy, ex-DREAM THEATER and drummer on 'Nightmare'] played.' But if The Rev was here with us, this is how he'd have played it. He wouldn't overplay it, he'd sit back in the groove and he'd try to make it as powerful as possible, rather than as technical as possible. I asked [Arin] if he was okay with that; I asked if he was okay with the hate he was going to get. He said he was, and that he wanted to do whatever was best for us and the songs."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD took several months off after it finished touring to promote "Nightmare" — which included a headlining run on the 2011 edition of the Uproar Festival.

Asked how important it was it for the band to take a break before beginning work on the new CD, Shadows said: "We had to recharge our batteries. We wanted to wait until some inspiration came to us. We didn't want to go in too soon and throw out some crap. We needed the time off because we'd been touring so long, and it was time for us to settle down and get our bearings back. We would have imploded if we had written a record straight out of the touring cycle. We don't want to throw out a turd; we don't want to suddenly put out a terrible record becase we rushed it."

He added: "We literally sat around for a few months. And then you get bored of that, so you go write a record because you're fucking sick of it. Sometimes, lying around on the couch gets you pumped up, because you have a moment where you realize that you can't just do that for the rest of your life. We all hit that point, so we were and wrote a record."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will celebrate the album release by playing a free show at the Hollywood Palladium on August 26.

Premiere\\ THE MORE I SEE: 'The Eye That Offends' Video Released

"The Eye That Offends", the new video from British metallers THE MORE I SEE, can be seen below. The clip was filmed in Northern Africa on the set of the legendary "Star Wars" movies.

THE MORE I SEE drove for six hours across the Tunisian desert to shoot the video, performing at three iconic sets from the hugely popular movies — remarkably still standing years after being abandoned, preserved in the arid desert heat. The result is a visually stunning spectacle that perfectly compliments the band's energetic performance.

Comments THE MORE I SEE frontman James Cluer: "I'm a massive fan of 'Star Wars', so to visit Tunisia and film at some of the greatest film locations ever was really special. It was such an incredible experience to perform at the mighty canyons of the Jundland Wastes ('Episode IV: A New Hope'), where Luke Skywalker and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO first meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as the city of Mos Espa ('Episode I: The Phantom Menace'), and especially Luke Skywalker's home — Lars homestead ('Episode IV: A New Hope'). It was a childhood dream of mine to see the igloo, and to get to film there with the sun setting behind us was something I'll never forget!"

The video for "The Eye That Offends" was filmed with director Phil Berridge of Creative Junkie Media.

To coincide with the release of the video, THE MORE I SEE has also released a three-track EP exclusively on Spotify.

"The Eye That Offends" is taken from THE MORE I SEE's new studio album, "The Disappearing Humans", which is due to be released on August 26 in Europe on Earache Records, and on October 1 in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records. The CD was mixed by producer Scott Atkins (SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH, SAVAGE MESSIAH) and mastered at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios with Steve Rooke (THE BEATLES).

Big Noize no Brasil \\ BIG NOIZE Featuring SEBASTIAN BACH, GEORGE LYNCH: Fan-Filmed Footage Of Santiago Concert

BIG NOIZE, the band featuring Vinny Appice (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL) on drums, Phil Soussan (OZZY OSBOURNE, BILLY IDOL, VINCE NEIL) on bass, George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB) on guitar and Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW) on vocals, kicked off its South American tour this past Tuesday, July 9 at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago, Chile.

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. The Mob Rules (BLACK SABBATH cover)
02. I Don't Know (OZZY OSBOURNE cover)
03. Kicking & Screaming (SEBASTIAN BACH cover)
04. Into The Fire (DOKKEN cover)
05. Bible Black (HEAVEN & HELL cover)
06. Crazy Train (OZZY OSBOURNE cover)
07. Killer Of Giants (OZZY OSBOURNE cover)
08. 18 And Life (SKID ROW cover)
09. The Hunter (DOKKEN cover)
10. Shot In The Dark (OZZY OSBOURNE cover)
11. Mr. Scary (DOKKEN cover)
12. In A Darkened Room (SKID ROW cover)
13. Heaven And Hell (BLACK SABBATH cover)
14. Alone Again (DOKKEN cover)
15. I Remember You (SKID ROW cover)

Encore:

16. Youth Gone Wild (SKID ROW cover)

Fan-filmed video footage can be seen below.

Bach previously performed with BIG NOIZE on July 14, 2012 at the Kavarna Rock festival at Kaliakra Stadium in Kavarna, Bulgaria. Bach was filling in for regular BIG NOIZE singer Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), who was apparently unable to make the gig. Playing guitar at the show was former QUIET RIOT and current RATT guitarist Carlos Cavazo.

Formed in 2007, BIG NOIZE performs classic-rock hits, has played a select number of dates over the years, including the M3 Rock Festival, domestic dates, dates as far as Europe, Spain, Brazil and even a special trip to Kuwait and Iraq, to entertain the brave men and women of our military forces.

While some classic rock musicians have formed successful "all-star" bands, what is unique about BIG NOIZE is its heritage and concept. All members have a related and connected past. The artists they are associated with have featured many of the same musicians and shared the same fans: OZZY OSBOURNE, DIO, BLACK SABBATH, QUIET RIOT, RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE. A BIG NOIZE concert is a tribute to the bands that the members were integral parts of and a reunion for their extensive and loyal fan base. The setlist is a powerhouse of anthems that topped rock and pop charts in the '70s and '80s and reads like a classic radio playlist.

Ttaduza\\ SLAYER: First Photo Of New Touring Lineup

The official Facebook page of SLAYER's current touring drummer, Paul Bostaph, has released the first photo of the lineup that has spent the past month on the road in Europe, featuring original members Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (bass, vocals) alongside hired musicians Bostaph and Gary Holt (guitar). Check it out below.

It was announced on May 30 by Araya and King that Bostaph would be behind the drum kit for the first leg of the band's 2013 international tour. EXODUS' Gary Holt is continuing to fill in for fallen guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who died on May 2 from alcohol-related cirrhosis of the liver.

Bostaph was SLAYER's drummer from 1992 until 2001 and recorded four albums with the band — the gold-certified "Divine Intervention" (1994), the 1996 punk covers album "Undisputed Attitude", "Diabolus In Musica" (1998), "God Hates Us All" (2001) that received a Grammy nomination for "Best Metal Performance", as well as the DVD "War At The Warfield" (2001), also certified gold. In addition to SLAYER, Bostaph has been a member of FORBIDDEN, EXODUS, SYSTEMATIC and TESTAMENT.

SLAYER's 2013 itinerary has the band playing 35 dates that include headline shows as well as a number of major summer festivals in Europe, Eastern Europe and South America between June and October.

"Paul's a great drummer and a good friend, and we're very happy that he's decided to rejoin the band," said Araya. "We're still pretty numb from the loss of Jeff, but we don't want to disappoint our European and South American fans, and we need to begin moving forward... Having Paul back in the band makes that a whole lot easier."

Original SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo sat out the band's recent Australian tour due to a contract dispute with the other members of the group. Filling in for him was Jon Dette (TESTAMENT, ANTHRAX).

Premiere\\ GOTTHARD: 'Yippie Aye Yay' Video Released

"Yippie Aye Yay", the new video from Swiss hard rockers GOTTHARD, can be seen below. The clip was produced by the band, directed by GOTTHARD frontman Nic Maeder, filmed by his father, Hugo Maeder, and edited by his brother, Sebastian Maeder. It was shot in the band's hometown of Lugano and it features the burlesque dancers Poison Ladies as well as three members of Swiss bagpipe outfit WILD BOAR CLAN OF LOCH LUCERNE.

"Firebirth" entered the chart Switzerland at position No. 1 — the 14th time that a GOTTHARD CD has topped the Swiss chart in the group's career so far. In addition, the album landed at No. 9 on the German Media Control chart.

"Firebirth" was released in June 2012 via Nuclear Blast/Warner Music. The CD was produced at the band's own Yellow House Studios in Lugano, Switzerland, with guitarist/songwriter Leo Leoni and Paul Lani (who has previously worked with GOTTHARD on several of their earlier albums, including "G-Spot" and "Homerun") at the helm.

"Firebirth" marks GOTTHARD's first release with singer Nic Maeder, who was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, lived in Melbourne, Australia and grew up between Switzerland and "Down Under."

GOTTHARD vocalist Steve Lee was killed on October 5, 2010 in what has been described as a freak road accident in Nevada.

The "Firebirth" album cover depicts the firebird Phoenix, which symbolically rises "from the ashes to the sky" — this line expresses what each GOTTHARD fan feels and underlines the turbulent time that GOTTHARD has gone through in the past months.

CIRCLE PIT \\ AUGUST BURNS RED: 'Fault Line' Video Released

"Fault Line", the new video from the Manheim, Pennsylvania-based quintet AUGUST BURNS RED, can be seen below.

"This was one of the most enjoyable videos we've ever made," says guitarist JB Brubaker. "Working with Daniel Davison was a pleasure. He had a vision for the video and knew exactly what he wanted from us before a second of footage had even been shot. The story sections of the video came out beautifully, and I'm pretty stoked on how it turned out."

"Fault Line" comes off AUGUST BURNS RED's fifth album, "Rescue & Restore", which sold nearly 26,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 9 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 25 via Solid State Records.

The new effort, described by guitarist and principal songwriter JB Brubaker as the band’s "most ambitious album yet," turns a critical eye to the oft-maligned genre of metalcore, leading by example to prove that bands can still find exciting new ways to expand the genre.

"'Rescue & Restore' is about challenging other bands and ourselves, as well as fans of this music, to want more than whatever happens to be the current buzz," explains Brubaker.

"We've done our best with each new album to try to push our sound in new directions and we’d like to see our peers do the same.

"People need to realize that there’s not much of a difference between a metalcore song that has a couple breakdowns with a repeating chorus and the latest LADY GAGA song. This genre used to be better than that. It can still be better than that."

Throughout the album, AUGUST BURNS RED continue to do their part to challenge the conventions of heavy music. Over the course of 11 tracks, the band artfully blend piano, cello, violin, trumpet, various percussive elements and more into their sonic arsenal, taking their music into new aesthetic territory and contorting the boundaries of the genre.

With "Rescue & Restore", AUGUST BURNS RED have proven that it is possible to reshape music in a way that challenges listeners, reinvigorates fans and puts art first. But for any fans who fear AUGUST BURNS RED turning their back on the sound that catapulted them to the forefront of a genre, Brubaker advises them not to worry.

"At the end of the day, we are still a very heavy band," he explains. "'Rescue & Restore' still has plenty of really heavy stuff, techy odd meter riffs, and all the stuff that people have come to expect from us; it just has a lot more surprises along the way."

"Rescue & Restore" track listing:

01. Provisions
02. Treatment
03. Spirit Breaker
04. Count It All As Lost
05. Sincerity
06. Creative Captivity
07. Fault Line
08. Beauty In Tragedy
09. Animals
10. Echoes
11. The First Step

Premiere\\ KING KOBRA: 'Have A Good Time' Video Released

"Have A Good Time", the new video from KING KOBRA, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's new studio album, "II", which was released on July 5 in Europe and July 9 in North America via Frontiers Records.

KING KOBRA's long-awaited self-titled reunion album, released on Frontiers Records in 2011, left no doubt that this was a band to be reckoned with. Even though nearly 25 years had passed since the original lineup recorded the landmark "Ready To Strike" and "Thrill Of A Lifetime" LPs, the energy and immediacy of the bands lightning attack had not diminished one iota and fans responded in kind.

"We chose to name this album 'II' because it is both the second album of our reformation with Frontiers Records as well as the second generation of the band with Paul Shortino as lead vocalist," says guitarist David Michael-Philips. "Paul's unique style gives the band a new feel apart from what we were in the 80s with original singer Mark/Marcie Free. I think the 're-boot' naming gives Paul the credit he deserves while paying homage to our original singer and sound."

The thick, soulful vocals of Paul Shortino, dual guitarists Mick Sweda and David Michael-Philips, and the thundering bass and drums of Johnny Rod and Carmine Appice delivered an album that, while easily carrying on the tradition of the first two releases, brought a contemporary twist to a signature melodic, hard rock style.

"The '70s' flavor of this new album was a conscious move to incorporate our influences into the music," says David Michael-Philips, while Carmine Appice adds "KING KOBRA was a band in the '80s with great players... and had roots in the '70s also.. We tried to make a cool combination of both, which I think we achieved with this new album."

Produced by David Henzerling with Carmine Appice and Paul Shortino, "II" digs into KING KOBRA hard rock roots to create an album that has all the swagger and swing of the classic '70s albums (think MONTROSE, BAD COMPANY, DEEP PURPLE and even Carmine's own legendary CACTUS) with a crystal clear sound that combines the best of both analogue and digital recording techniques. From the tight and punchy "Have A Good Time" to the 8-minute epic "Deep River", "II" shows a more mature band confident of its songwriting ability performing with the technical prowess garnered over years of experience.

"II" track listing:

01. Hell On Wheels
02. Knock 'Em Dead
03. Have A Good Time
04. The Ballad Of Johnny Rod
05. Take Me Back
06. When The Hammer Comes Down
07. Running Wild
08. The Crunch
09. Got It Comin'
10. Deep River

Premiere\\ PHILIP ANSELMO: 'Bedridden' Video Released

Philip Anselmo, legendary frontman of PANTERA and DOWN, will release his career-first solo album, "Walk Through Exits Only", on July 16 via his own Housecore Records (MRI/Megaforce). "Walk Through Exits Only" will be available digitally, on CD and on vinyl.

Produced by Anselmo and Michael Thompson, and recorded over the past couple of years at Philip's New Orleans studio, Nodferatu's Lair, with his band THE ILLEGALS — guitarist Marzi Montazeri (ex-SUPERJOINT RITUAL) and drummer José Manuel Gonzales (WARBEAST) — "Walk Through Exits Only" is abrasive, aggressive, anthemic and 100% Anselmo. The album's eight songs are as unstrained as it gets, from "Battalion Of Zero" to "Usurper's Bastard Rant", to the album's title track that goes against the grain and right through the exits. Brash, brutal guitars cut through punishing percussion as Anselmo screams with uncompromising ferocity and uncontainable fire.

"Walk Through Exits Only" track listing:

01. Music Media Is My Whore
02. Battalion Of Zero
03. Betrayed
04. Usurper Bastard's Rant
05. Walk Through Exits Only
06. Bedroom Destroyer
07. Bedridden
08. Irrelevant Walls And Computer Screens

The official video for the song "Bedridden" can now be seen below.

"It wasn't about doing a paint-by-numbers thrash or heavy metal record," Anselmo explained about the project. "It's an angry album that only I could do. I don't see anybody else out there screaming about the same shit I'm screaming about. On this album, there isn't any wordplay, there isn't any hidden message, it's all right there in front of you."

The genesis of "Walk Through Exits Only" proved both comfortable and natural for its architect. In fact, everything began to slowly come together in the frontman's New Orleans home back in 2010.

"It started right there in the fucking black bedroom where I haunt," he smiles. "When I get an itch, I've got to scratch it. The sole idea at the beginning was to be unorthodox. It wasn't about doing a paint-by-numbers thrash or heavy metal record. I've always believed there are different elements of groove. It's definitely not a cemented science. It's an angry album that only I could do. I don't see anybody else out there screaming about the same shit I'm screaming about. I tried to portray it as personally as I possibly could."

Gonzales puts it best. "I think it's going to put the rock 'n' roll back in extreme music," he says. "That combination is very different. For as extreme as it is, it's controlled chaos."

"It's meant to be very unpredictable," Anselmo affirms. "When I hear enough of the same thing, I want to rebel. That was a key factor. Right when you think you've got it pegged, it goes in a different direction. That's what keeps things interesting."

In order to harness that unpredictability and realize his vision, he enlisted the talents of longtime friend Houston-based shredder Montazeri. Filling the seat behind the kit is Gonzales, who entered the fold at the tender age of 19. Back at Anselmo's studio Nodferatu's Lair, they recorded in spurts between DOWN's own rigorous recording and touring schedule. In the process of those intense sessions alongside engineer Stephen "The Big Fella" Berrigan, the record was born.

"There's nobody like Philip," says Montazeri. "For years, I've always wanted to do something completely original and meaningful with him. I'm just trying to bring something pure to this. Nothing gets in the way of this band's purity. When all of us get together, it's automatic. If I have an idea, Philip always welcomes it. We share a love for extreme music, and I feel like we've got an unbreakable bond."

Gonzales agrees, "These guys pushed me to limits I didn't even know I could be pushed to. We've been able to create something really special together."

The world's proper introduction to PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS came on the "War Of The Gargantuas" split with WARBEAST at the top of 2013. The two songs included on the split — "Conflict" and "Family, Friends, and Associates" — were only a separate and small taste of what was come to come on the full-length though.

In many ways, "Walk Through Exits Only" embodies the same underground spirit and ethos that Anselmo has proudly possessed for his whole life. Since his career began, he consistently shined light on what was happening beneath the typical "surface" of music, whether by inviting MORBID ANGEL, EYEHATEGOD, CROWBAR, or NEUROSIS onto a PANTERA tour or donning a DARKTHRONE or MAYHEM t-shirt on television or in a major publication. He's gone against the grain, past the tides, and right through the exits. Now, that sentiment pipes through loud and clear on the record's viciously vital title track.

"It does create an unorthodox approach to things," Anselmo continues. "The hook is a powerful line. Why make music the 'right' way? There really aren't any fucking rules. You've got to simply take what’s there and make it your own."

The opener "Music Media Is My Whore" lays all speculation to rest with its focused pummeling. About the title, he laughs, "I've gotten my share of fucking licks from the media over the years. I figured I'd give them one back. Lyrically, there was always something driving me though. I couldn't put my finger on it for the longest time, but it's very reality-based. I didn't mince any words."

"The message comes across in a crazy way," adds Montazeri. "That goes for the entire record though. There's no similarity between this and any other band. It breaks from tradition."

Not only does "Walk Through Exits Only" break from tradition, it lays the groundwork for a new road.

"Fuck another chapter," concludes Anselmo. "This is a whole new book. Some might call it ambitious. I say it's natural. I can do anything I want with this, and I will. I want people to take that unpredictability with them. If you're in a younger band, I want you to realize you don't have to play by the fucking rules. I want everyone to see that there's a lot more to the story than they'd ever realized when it comes to me. You can't and won't be able to tell what comes next from the kid. You can't pin me down unless it's in my own fucking corner which will be painted black and say, 'Reserved for Philip H. Anselmo.' You're very welcome to do that."

The official listening and release party for "Walk Through Exits Only" will be held on Saturday, July 13 at 10:00 p.m. at Duff's Brooklyn in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The address is:

Duff's Brooklyn
168 Marcy Avenue (between S 5th & Broadway)

Premiere\\ TODD LA TORRE-Fronted Version Of QUEENSRŸCHE: 'Fallout' Video Released

"Fallout", the first official video from the Todd La Torre-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE, can be seen below. The clip was filmed in Gelsenkirchen, Germany this past May during the annual Rock Hard Festival and features footage from the band's set and some behind-the-scenes shots. The song comes off the group's self-titled new album, which sold around 13,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 25 via Century Media Records.

"Frequency Unknown", the latest album from the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE, opened with around 5,500 units to debut at No. 82.

QUEENSRŸCHE's 2011 studio CD, "Dedicated To Chaos", registered a first-week tally of around 8,000 to enter the chart at No. 70. The band's 2009 effort, the epic concept album "American Soldier", premiered with 21,000 copies to debut at No. 25. This was roughly half the first-week tally registered by QUEENSRŸCHE's "Operation: Mindcrime II" album, which shifted 44,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release back in April 2006 to land at No. 14 on The Billboard 200 chart.

QUEENSRŸCHE's 2003 effort, "Tribe", sold 20,000 copies in the first week while 1999's "Q2K" opened with sales of 28,000.

QUEENSRŸCHE's top-selling album by far is 1990's "Empire", which was certified triple-platinum in October 1994 for sales in excess of three million copies in the United States. The original "Operation: Mindcrime" release (1988) attained platinum status in August 1991, while 1994's "Promised Land" reached the same plateau in December 1994.

"Queensrÿche" marks the debut release from the lineup comprised of La Torre (vocals; ex-CRIMSON GLORY), Michael Wilton (guitar), Parker Lundgren (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums). The drums for the album were recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer James "Jimbo" Barton — the man who engineered and mixed the band's classic 1988 LP, "Operation: Mindcrime", and its 1990 follow-up, "Empire", and co-produced 1994's "Promised Land". The rest of the music and vocals were laid down at several different facilities on the West Coast. The cover artwork was created by Craig Howell, who has previously worked on designs for "Star Wars", SLIPKNOT and "American Idol", to name a few.

Momento Dave Mustaine \\ MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE: No Offense To ROADRUNNER, But We're A Major-Label Band

O2 Academy TV recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. You can now watch the chat in two parts below.

Asked how the switch in record labels from Roadrunner to Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) affected MEGADETH's songwriting approach on its new album, "Super Collider", Mustaine said: "I think it affected the sound of the album, the style of music, the outlook of the band. I mean, no offense to Roadrunner — they did what they do — but we're a major-label band. And when we left Capitol to go to Sanctuary, it was for two reasons. One, I hated that record president that [Capitol] had at that time, and two, Sanctuary made a lot of big promises. And you know, when you think about [IRON MAIDEN's manager] Rod Smallwood, who had a big part to do with the label, that's IRON MAIDEN, and I love IRON MAIDEN, so I thought, 'For sure, this is gonna be great.' Well, it didn't end up being great, 'cause Rod wasn't involved in it as much as my brain would like to have thought. And we left Sanctuary and went to Roadrunner, and it just kept going like this. [makes downward motion with his hand] And I figured, I'm not gonna bail on the contract, I'm not gonna be a scumbag musician like so many musicians are where they stick people with contracts and break up and leave everybody holding the ball. I figured, 'I'm gonna honor the contract, I'm gonna finish it, and then when it's done, I'm gonna say goodbye like a gentleman.' And I did, and Universal came into the picture. I mean, think about this; this is so amazing. [Universal is] the biggest label; they own Capitol Records that has almost all of my catalog; they bought EMI Publishing that does own all my publishing. So you're a brand new record company… Not brand new, but for us… We've got a new label, a new record… Oh, by the way, I own all of your past life. I was, like, 'Who could possibly have arranged something that fantastic?'"

RUMOURS\\ Alice in Chains: banda se apresentará em São Paulo, diz Destak

Premiere\\ GHOST: 'Monstrance Clock' Video Released

"Monstrance Clock", the new video from Swedish occult rockers GHOST, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Rob Semmer and was shot on location at the El Rey in Los Angeles and Webster Hall in New York City. The song comes of GHOST's sophomore album, "Infestissumam", which sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 28 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The CD topped the official chart in the group's home country after selling nearly five times as many copies as the No. 2 album, MISS LI's "Wolves".

The release date of "Infestissumam" was reportedly pushed back a week to April 16 after four compact disc manufacturers allegedly refused to print a piece of artwork that was meant for the deluxe version of the new CD. The manufacturers all took issue with the sacrilegious imagery, inspired by the work of Gustave Dore, which showcases what looks like a forest nymph orgy. The controversial art can still be found on both the vinyl and European copies of the "Infestissuman" CD.

GHOST was forced to modify its name in the U.S. to GHOST B.C. for "legal reasons."

Hailing from Linköping, Sweden, GHOST formed in in 2008. They released their heralded debut album, "Opus Eponymous", in 2010. In 2011, GHOST performed at the annual Download festival in the United Kingdom. The band's fanbase began to swell and not long after added some of hard rock's finest to this group. Additionally that year, GHOST took part in the "Defenders Of Faith III" tour with TRIVIUM, IN FLAMES and RISE TO REMAIN. In early 2012, they embarked on their first tour of the United States and later that year shared the stage with MASTODON and OPETH on their "Heritage Hunter Tour" in North America. That summer the band was invited by METALLICA's James Hetfield to perform on the main stage of METALLICA's first annual Orion Music + More festival.

Premiere\\ Megadeth: assista vídeo oficial da música "Super Collider"

 O vídeo para a faixa título e primeiro single do novo álbum do MEGADETH, "Supper Collider" está disponível abaixo. O Clipe foi filmado em 10 de maio em Los Angeles.

A modelo californiana, atriz, cantora e compositora, Hunter Elizabeth, foi contratada para o papel principal do vídeo, que de acordo com ela é "sobre um casal de namorados do colégio que ainda se amam após anos da formatura, e na reunião de 10 anos da escola eles se encontram, ambos bem sucedidos (um matemático e uma modelo) e ainda estão muito apaixonados".

Entrevista\\ Limp Bizkit: Fred Durst comenta suruba "naipe Mötley Crüe"

Por vezes, uma banda ou um artista bola uma frase tão perfeita que você tem que citá-la imediatamente. Por várias vezes, esse artista é FRED DURST.

A edição - matriz – britânica da revista METAL HAMMER conversou com o líder fundador do LIMP BIZKIT para sua edição de Agosto [já nas boas casas do ramo], e falou com ele sobre a incrível ascensão do LB à fama na virada do milênio e analisou a enormidade do fenômeno improvável que foi e ainda é o nu-Metal.

“Éramos as ovelhas negras – ou brancas”, declara Fred sobre o status de azarão da banda. “Nem tão hip hop nem tão metal. Mas a gente estava pouco se fodendo, e sempre tentamos dizer isso bem contundentemente. Isso foi uma das coias desagradáveis sobre nós.”

E daí, fudeu. O Limp Bizkit passou de uma das forças ascendentes do nu-Metal para uma das maiores bandas do planeta - e o bagulho ficou louco logo logo.

“Simplesmente aconteceu!”, explica o simpático caipirão de Jacksonville, Flórida. ”Não tivemos tempo para prestar atenção. Estávamos rindo todo dia do fato de que aquilo sequer existia, antes de mais nada. Eu sou um cara que não conseguia chegar perto de mulheres bonitas e xavecá-las. Eu fui disso pra multidões de pessoas que faziam qualquer coisa por mim. Teve uma vez que tinha, tipo, 15 mulheres inclinadas pra frente, e tinha outra mina colocando morangos no rabo delas. Eu pensei, “O que porra tá acontecendo?! Essas coisas não acontecem fora dos vídeos do Mötley Crüe!”

Classic Videos \\ 22 anos atrás: Guns N' Roses e o incidente de St. Louis

O GUNS N'ROSES tem um histórico de confusões sobre o palco. Um longo histórico. E um de seus infames momentos aconteceu em 2 de julho de 1991, quando a banda tocou no Riverport Amphitheater em St. Louis, EUA.

 O GUNS N'ROSES tem um histórico de confusões sobre o palco. Um longo histórico. E um de seus infames momentos aconteceu em 2 de julho de 1991, quando a banda tocou no Riverport Amphitheater em St. Louis, EUA.


Axl pegou o microfone e disse "graças à segurança de merda, estou indo para casa", jogou o equipamento no chão e se retirou. O restante da banda o seguiu, com o guitarrista Slash dizendo ao público: "ele quebrou o microfone, estamos indo embora". A plateia então começou a revolta, deixando dezenas de fãs feridos.
Axl foi acusado de incitar o motim, mas não foi preso porque a banda se mandou para uma turnê europeia. Quase um ano depois ele respondeu pelo incidente, mas um juiz declarou sua inocência.
Mais tarde a banda afirmou que eles solicitaram quatro vezes aos seguranças para retirar as câmeras que viram na plateia. Também relataram que foram atingidos por garrafas, pois a segurança do show era muito frouxa. Quando o GUNS N'ROSES lançou os álbuns "Use Your Illusion", foi colocada uma mensagem oculta na arte da capa. Olhe atentamente e você verá escrito "F-You, St. Louis" na lista de agradecimentos dos álbuns.
