Good news for this week folks: the new, self titled album from the prog metal titans is available for streaming in its entirety; you can listen to it with the widget below. “Dream Theater” – the band’s 12th studio release will be officially released September 24, a week from now. From what I can hear, it’s truly a classic Dream Theater album, which certainly won’t disappoint the fans. As lead guitarist John Petrucci puts it:…
The pair have revealed just how excited they are to work with Robbie Williams; they’re just two of the many artists which are collaborating with Robbie William on his new album, ‘Swing Both Ways’. “I absolutely loved working with Rob on this album,” Olly said, of the pair’s collaboration. “After touring Europe with him this year it seemed only right that we record something together, and ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ is such a classic…
In a new excess of honesty, Robert Trujillo spoke his mind about the upcoming Metallica concert movie, “Through the Never” – which will hit the cinemas on October 8. According to the bassist, he hopes that the film, which has some huge shoes to fill (following Pink Floyd’s – The Wall and Led Zeppelin’s – Song Remains the Same), will receive better reviews than Metallica’s recent work with Lou Reed. He seems really optimistic about…
To mark the release of their self-titled, eighth studio album, Norwegian black metallers Satyricon played a special, exclusive show this Sunday, at the Den Norske Opera & Ballett in Oslo, Norway, where they were joined by the 55-strong Norwegian National Opera Chorus. The results are truly something else – dare I say, better than their usual live acts. “SATYRICON excels as a band, the bigger the platform is. In Norway, there is no greater stage…
Queen are apparently considering releasing a new album with unheard demo songs recorded with Freddie Mercury. It was recently revealed that Freddie’s duets with Michael Jackson were set for a future release, but now guitarist Bryan May apparently wants to use them as part of something bigger – adding them to other (currently unfinished) songs from the band’s sessions for 1995 album, “Made In Heaven.” “We thought we’d exhausted everything that was around and could…
Following the success of their latest effort “From Death to Destiny,” UK metalcore act Asking Alexandria are taking their ambitions not to the next level, but to the next level after the next level. During a chat with Metal Hammer, frontman Danny Worsnop took the big words straight out of his purse: “I’ll say it right now: we want to be the biggest band in the world,” he said. “I want us to one day…
It took Soundgarden 16 years to write a new album, but now, apparently, they’ve got the ‘album fever’. After they finish their European tour which starts in September 4 in Helsinki, Finland and ends on September 19 in London, the band announced taking a break from touring. However, this doesn’t mean they’re taking a break from music, as frontman Chris Cornell says: “You know, I think that the overall attitude about keeping it going and…
A little piece of wisdom came today from the Arctic Monkeys, who took a couple of minutes to talk to NME about their new album, ‘AM’ sending drunk texts and practising yoga in Los Angeles. Good stuff.
Usually, we get guitar driven songs covered by electronic/pop artists, so it’s really nice to see it go the other way around. The Nashville band recorded their take on the electronic pop track from Robyn’s 2010 single ‘Dancing On My Own’. The song was actually recorded today, September 10, for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. Kings Of Leon will release their sixth album, ‘Mechanical Bull’, on September 24, an album which is more “complicated” and…
It’s been a while since we’ve seen something from Mobi, let alone something so flamboyant. The video was shot in L.A with Coyne (of The Flaming Lips) and Moby dressed up as a Mexican mariachi band, and it promises to become a classic anthem with a spicy mix of electronic and soul. There’s already been a few fine remixes from the song, and first up on those list are the Fuck Buttons, which you can…
