May 30, 2014

Denver heavy thrashers Havok have premiered the new video for their song Chasing the Edge which is off their third length full album on Candlelight Records, Unnatural Selection. The album was produced by guitarist David Sanchez, mixed by Terry Date (PANTERA, DEFTONES, OVERKILL) and mastered by James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, LAZARUS AD). The album features the original artwork from Polish illustrator Rafal Wechterowicz (SLAYER, MASTODON). Check out the video here:   David explains about the video here: In case you couldn’t tell by the video, “Chasing the Edge” is about space exploration. This song is dedicated to Nicolaus Copernicus and his groundbreaking idea that sparked the modern scientific revolution. Without his bold observations that turned the Church on its head, you might not be reading this text on a computer screen right now! The lyrics are dictated from Copernicus’ point of view, but of course, the meaning of the song can be interpreted in many different ways. Astronomy is very humbling when you realize that we are an incredibly tiny part of the cosmos. No matter how [Read More]

May 29, 2014

We just received word through a post on Bret Michael’s Facebook Page that he suffered a medical emergency tonight in Manchester during his set. Here is the post:   Breaking News: Message From Pete Evick Regarding Bret Michaels’ Medical Emergency This is a message I never imagined I’d have to post. Tonight in Manchester, NH 3 songs into the set Bret had me sing a song as he rushed off stage. In the 9 years I’ve stood next to him, I’ve never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger. One of the crew returned instantly to notify me that Bret’s blood sugar was extremely low. He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue.

When I rushed to the bus he could barley speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and [Read More]
