Here is the cover art for the new album by the US Progressive Metal band, It has been almost 10 years sine we last heard from Fates Warning with their release of “FWX“. FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder checked in with a comment as follows: “Darkness in a Different Light” is the result of almost two years of very hard work from everyone in the band. I believe that this line-up is the best that Fates has ever had, and I also think that it comes through in the music on this album. It’s been almost nine years since our last studio album and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished here. We are looking very much forward to playing some new songs for our fans who have stuck by us over all these years.

Lemmy cuts set short: PLEASE TAKE A REST LEMMY! WE LOVE YOU!

August 2, 2013

Exactly one month ago, I told you about Motorhead cancelling their European tour dates due to Lemmy Kilmister health issues. One of the tour dates they did not cancel was Waken Open Air Festival and maybe they should have. it is reported that they had to cut the set short due to Lemmy’s health. They had longer pauses between songs and after one long pause, Lemmy came out for another song and never returned. It was reported on Wacken Open Air Festival the following post in German: Mehr als 30 Minuten konnten Motörhead die Black Stage rocken und Lemmy hat alles gegeben um Euch eine geile Show zu liefern. Er ist wohlauf – aber die Temperaturen und Umstände haben dazu geführt, dass einfach nicht mehr ging, ohne dass die Qualität leidet. Wir freuen uns ungemein und sind stolz, dass Phil, Mikkey und insbesondere Mr. Rock n Roll himself, Lemmy Kilmister, 2013 auf dem W:O:A waren und alles Menschenmögliche getan haben, um diese Show zu spielen. Thank you so much, guys! according to Google Translate here it [Read More]

Joey Jordison is well known for his over the top speed drumming for Slipknot and also his sold intense guitar in Murderdolls. Joey has announced his musical endeavor, Scar the Martyr and he will again be treating us to his precision drumming.

Scar the Martyr is set to release their debut album is set to release on October 1st. You can listen to their song, Blood Host on the Revolver site here. As stated on the Revolver site, Jordison says of the track, “It’s very coincidental that ‘Blood Host’ is our first track and video because it was the first song I wrote for this project when it was nothing but a mere idea at best. Songs, of course, followed, and molded into an overall feel, concept, and now a full-length album. ‘Blood Host’ has it all: hypnotic riffs, soaring choruses, pummeling breakdowns, and the lyrics are infectious in every [Read More]

A Story Beneath releases new video for “All in My Head”

August 1, 2013

One of my favorite bands that I told you about in a post back in May that includes an interview with Phil Goff, has recently released a video for their kick ass song, “All in My Head” which is from their new EP Beneath the Skin, and you can check it out here: A Story Beneath is an incredible band from Santa Clarita, California. Phil Goff is on Guitar and Vocals, Toddy Libby on Bass and Keys, and Markus Flick on drums. These three guys come together with driving rhythms, melodic chords blended with some powerful rock reminiscent of Silverchair, early Tool and Incubus but they definitely have a sound of their own. Once you start listening to them, believe me, you might not stop. I told you about one of my Go To songs which is “Chamelion”. This song just gets up in me and has me revived in an instant. You can get their new EP right on CDBaby here. So make sure to check them on their social media sites and check out their new [Read More]
