Metallica album delayed?!
Andrei Mihai
A few days ago we announced in an article that everything seems to announce the new Metallica album for February. Now sources from within the band’s record label announced that album is now expected to hit the stores in September. Even more than that, the band is still in the studio! Fans can at least think about the fact that the last time Metallica spent so much time on an album was in 1991 and…
Velvet Revolver plan new album
Velvet Revolver are definetly a mean green music machine. Their previous release, Libertad was acclaimed and was one of the best rock releases of the year. Blazing guitar parts, hard vocals and agressive lyrics made it an album which you have to listen to; and you can either love it or hate it, there’s no middle way.But the boys are not settling; instead, they are going on a tour and even planning a new album!…

Tokyo Police Club have confirmed the record’s completion, as well as a scheduled release date in late April via Saddle Creek in North America and Memphis Industries in the UK.

New Ringo Starr video: ‘Liverpool 8’
One of the former fab four, the glamorous [tag]Ringo Starr[/tag], just recently released his 14th solo album, Liverpool 8. The video for the title track couldn’t be more plain, much like the rest of song, fact that disappointed me a bit, as I had higher expectations then kinder garden level rhymes. Watch out for the Dave Stewart cameo too.
Wednesday smilejerker: the epic sequel to the 101 rules of power metal
Hope you enjoyed last week’s article, and you find this to be just as epic (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, read and you’ll find out); this comes from metalstorm.ee too. So without further ado, here it is: 1. Denim and leather went out with Saxon. Silk and steel is the new thing. 2. If you do mix genres, power metal is still the dominant type. (e.g. blackened power metal) This is largely…
Writers won’t picket Grammys
This strike has been going on for some time and I’m beggining to wonder how things are going to turn out. I think they have a very good point and every right to keep staying on strike, but at the same time I’m curios about how much longer this is going to last. Well Hollywood writers have decided against picketing the upcoming Grammy Awards but the Writers Guild of America’s board of directors has yet…
And the nominees are…
This year’s 80th Oscar nominees are in, with it’s fare share of pleasant and well, not so pleasant surprises. As not so pleasant goes, we were a bit dishearten when the nominees list was posted, earlier this morning, and we couldn’t score Johnny Greenwood or Eddie Vedder on the list, despite countless critical appraisal. We remind that Johnny scored the soundtrack for one of this years, best picture nominee There Will Be Blood, while Eddie…
Coachella 2008 full lineup announced
That’s it guys, after months and months of lineup speculations, the news are in, for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, that takes place between April 25-27, in the hot, but always cool Indio, California. No big surprises here, with no spectacular bands announcing a comeback or something (we’re obviously thinking about My Bloody Valentine), but there’s still time for that. The lineup is still very solid with such headliners like Roger Waters…
Triumph reunites
After a year filled with all sort of reunions it seems we are going to have another share of reunited bands. This time we are talking about Triumph. They made history during the late 1970s and 80s and made a name for themselves as a great live band, with guitarist Rik Emmett being compared with Eddie Van Halen numerous time for his guitar chops. They released over 10 albums in their carreer. Now, members Rik…
