They’ve apparently been working on some new songs. “This has kind of been a project in slow motion, that’s the only way I can put it,” Buckingham tells Billboard. “We got in the studio not…
With the prospect of a Led Zeppelin reunion not shaping up in the near future, this is pretty much the best news we could get from the rock gods: they’ve hinted that they may soon release more compilations of unheard material. This announcement comes in the wake of the release of the expanded versions of their first three albums: “Led Zeppelin,” “Led Zeppelin II” and “Led Zeppelin III”. “There’s certainly more things that can be done,” guitarist Jimmy…
I like Noel Gallagher, and I like Liam Gallagher. They’re awesome artists and all… but Oasis is just Oasis – it’s bigger than the sum of its parts. But due to their huge egos and inherent misunderstandings, they’re split… and split they will stay – or will they? Noel Gallagher joked that he would reunite Oasis for half a billion pounds – or half a billion anything, for that matter. “I was in the newsagent…

After a week-long countdown to the official new album announcement, now we have a new song from their forthcoming new album, “Redeemer of Souls,” which will be released in North America on July 15. “We are revved up and ready to unleash the Priest one…

The guys from Bethesda, Maryland are in the studio, working hard on their new experimental album, “Clear.” You can listen to a small preview below. “Clear” is a different kind of concept album, with only six tracks; each member individually wrote a track, and the sixth one combines them all in a dramatic fashion. I’ve always loved Periphery for how good they are, and their unique, future metal sound, so I’m really looking forward to…
