After 12 years and 4 studio albums, My Chemical Romance announce the end of the band, in a blog post. It all started with some rumors, which were then denied, MCR claiming to be working on a new album, but now, this gets posted on their blog: Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We’ve gotten to go places we never knew we would. We’ve been able to…
Pink Floyd came close to releasing rap songs in the 80s
The legendary prog rock Pink Floyd, arguably the best band ever, are best known for their distinguished use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows; they revolutionized a big part of music as we know it today, but if producer Bob Ezrin had his way, the band might have switched luscious soundscapes for processed beats during their late 1980s comeback. While working on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason”, Ezrin had suggested that the…
Ozzy badly wants collaboration with Adele
I’m pretty sure Ozzy Osborne is going to outlive the entire human species, especially considering how his genome actually mutated and now thrives on alcohol, but apparently, he only has one thing let on his bucket list: a collaboration with Adele. “I’d die a happy man, I think she’s f–king great. She’s not f–king botox-faced, she’s a normal, healthy girl who speaks in her native accent.” He was discussing Black Sabbath producer Rick Rubin’s involvement…
Incubus Guitarist Working on Pearl Jam Album
Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger has revealed that he is working on the new Pearl Jam album. We found this out (how else ?) from his twitter, where he posted: “In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam’s new album.” I’m really curious about this Pearl Jam album, apparently it will be a little different than what they’ve done. Guitarist Mike McCready has described it as a cross between punk…
Happy Daggers
Leeds is a city with a vibrant music scene: buzzing sounds, great bands, and a community ethos. ZME chats to Happy Daggers about their home town and the music they make there. You have quite a mix of styles going on, yet all seem to blend well. Are there any particular influences? We all have very eclectic tastes and I think that helps bring new ideas to the table and keep things fresh. I’d probably…

30 Seconds To Mars reveal new album title and tracklist
30 Seconds to Mars will be back with a new album pretty soon – May 20 to be more exact. ‘Love Lust Faith + Dreams’ is the name, and Jared Leto is the game; not only will he be fronting the band, but he’s also producing it, alongside Steve Lillywhite. “This is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly…
Listen the newest Heaven Shall Burn song: Die Stürme Rufen Dich
Album Cover for Veto Of course the song is in German, and according to my limited knowledge of German language, Die Stürme Rufen Dich, should mean something like: The Storms Are Calling For You, (or something like that). I’ve seen these guys in a concert last Summer, until then I’ve never heard of them, and they actually rocked my soul, so I am delighted to present this new song for you…
Deep Purple reveals the tracklist and the album cover
Deep Purple – Now what?, album cover Is no longer a mystery that Deep Purple is going to release a new album in April this year, (actually there are 38 more days until the album is going to be released). They even released a new song, All The Time In The World, and now they unveil the album cover and also the Now What’s tracklist. Below is the album’s tracklisting: 01. A…
New song from Deep Purple – “All The Time In The World”
Jon Lord is immortal – just ignore everything you may read or hear in the media. His spirit, his heart, his legacy lives on – and Deep Purple lives on. For some reason, I’ve been having a really good feeling in my stomach about their upcoming album – and this song definitely confirms. Somehow reminiscent of Pink Floyd, “All the time in the world” is just a great tune with a soft vibe around it:…
