WITCH CROSS “Axe To Grind” – A Legendary Return To Metal Prominence!

5 Out Of 5 METAL Fists!

WITCH CROSS – With two original band members (guitarist/songwriter Mike Koch, bassist Jan Normark), the legendary True Metal attack of WITCH CROSS has returned for their sophomore studio album: Axe To Grind (Hells Headbangers). These Danish Metal warriors indeed have returned! Fans of WITCH CROSS and Traditional Metal most likely never thought a follow-up to 1984’s (debut) Fit For Fight would ever come to pass; I was certainly one of them! Now I’m forever psyched-out… Metal be thy name.

Once news broke of a WITCH CROSS reunion, with live gigs and Festival performances taking flight in Europe these last two years, the momentum of this dynamic Metal band metamorphosed into a flaming Metal juggernaut! Axe To Grind has proven to my Metal soul and senses that it’s truly a spectacular return to Metal prominence for WITCH CROSS; with the songwriting and musicianship capturing the spirit, sound, energy and total atmosphere of what this grand band was and always shall be about.

Below, Check Out The Official Video For Demon In The Mirror:

The addition of new vocalist Kevin Moore has proven to be synonymous with capturing lightning in a bottle; his experience, songwriting and frontman presence has glistened on Axe To Grind; solidifying his place in both WITCH CROSS and Metal history. Mike Koch and Kevin Moore combined to write the majority of Axe To Grind and their skillful success at combining this bands vibes of the past with today’s Metal relevancy is jaw-dropping commendable!

Axe To Grind is a Metal album you absolutely cannot overlook in 2013! WITCH CROSS have delivered and the totality of Metal splendor explodes from such mega-memorable tracks as: Demon In The Mirror, Ride With The Wind, Bird Of Prey and Metal Nation (Raise Your Hands). Axe To Grind is one of those rare Metal albums that flows together so brilliantly; I feel as if I’m discovering a Metal gem for the very first time with each thorough listen!

The double axe attack fury of Mike Koch and Paul Martin are both melodic and blazing, leaving their numerous riffs, leads and solos within my subconscious long after I’ve listened to Axe To Grind. Incredible. The vocals of Kevin Moore have been ingrained into my subconscious as well; his standout performance on Axe To Grind is absolute.

Jan Normark on bass and Lars Bjornstad on drums are a consummate rhythm section that provides the old school boom and thundercracks, further solidifying what is undeniably one of the greatest comebacks in Heavy Metal history that’s forever known as WITCH CROSS.

BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING – In Mix Mode For Initial Digital Releases

Posted in electro-metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags beauty in the suffering, beauty in the suffering the crazies, dietrich thrall, electro-metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News on July 31, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

CHICAGO, IL (DLSP) – BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING, the newly launched electro-metal studio project from producer, multi-instrumentalist, programmer, and vocalist Dietrich Thrall (MARAZENE), are officially in mix mode for music the band plans to introduce to fans starting this fall with the release of “THE CRAZIES”.

“The pace is quickening as we begin the jog towards fall – these are exciting times and I am extremely happy to be with you all in the here and now,” commented DieTrich on the bands official blog at http://www.BeautyInTheSuffering.com.

BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING in post production at Pirated Sound Studios. DieTrich Thrall (left) and Provo Provenzano (right).

The band is currently locked away with SKINLAB guitarist PROVO PROVENZANO (RIKETS, EVERYBODY PANIC!) at Pirated Sounds Studio located in Oklahoma City, OK mixing the bands first three songs which will drop this fall. The band will immediately follow-up the digitally released singles by beginning production on a full length debut album with a release date targeted for sometime in 2014.

After spending the majority of 2012 locked away in a personal studio writing, arranging, and programming 40+ songs, producer DIETRICH THRALL began laying the foundation for a new musical manifesto. CHRIS EMERY of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE was immediately recruited and quickly tracked 7 songs in a marathon 15 hour drum session while ANGEL BARTOLOTTA (DOPE, TEAM CYBERGEIST) contributed drums for ‘THE CRAZIES.’

Dietrich (pronounced Dee-Trick) is best known for his co-founding and co-visionary role in the Industrial-Metal band MARAZENE (later called MARAZENE MACHINE) based in Chicago.

From managing the band during its most active and successful national touring years (2006-2008), to co-producing the band’s critically hailed cover of MÖTLEY CRÜE’s “Live Wire” in 2011 as well as the band’s lone official full-length album (“MachiNation”, 2006), to writing fan-favorite tracks such as “Give”, to guiding the band’s philosophical and edgy lyrical approach (“AnTiThesis”, “Infidel Society”), to producing multiple videos for the band, Dietrich’s contributions and influence are heavily noted.

’77 – Debuts New Song And Cover Art For “Maximum Rock n’ Roll”

Posted in classic rock, classic rock bands, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags '77 maximum rock n' roll, 77, classic rock, hard rock albums 2013, rock albums 2013 on July 31, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Spanish Hard Rock bruisers ’77 have debuted the first track off their upcoming third full-length album, Maximum Rock n’ Roll. The song, entitled Down and Dirty, is streaming now:

’77 had the following to say regarding Maximum Rock n’ Roll:

“We obviously wrote music in typical ’77 fashion such as ‘Down and Dirty’ or ‘Stay away from Water,’ tunes that will make you bang your head and raise your fist in the air while singing the choruses. Once more we recorded live in the studio, supervised by Fred Estby this time behind the mics and mixing desk, and we are really happy with the sound we got: no tricks, no FX; just Maximum Rock and Roll played as loud as possible.”

The band has also unveiled the cover art, designed by urban artist and AC/DC enthusiast Abdul Vas, for Maximum Rock n’ Roll:

MAXIMUM ROCK N’ ROLL – Track Listing:

Maximum Rock n’ Roll

Don’t You Scream

Down and Dirty

Highway Rebel

Jazz It Up

Stay Away From Water

You Bore Me

Take Me or Leave Me

Virtually Good

16 Year-Old King

Maximum Rock n’ Roll was recorded at Gutterview Recorders, in Stockholm from the 17th to the 28th of March and was produced by Fred Estby and Nicke Andersson. The album was mastered by Hoffe at Cosmos Mastering, Stockholm. Maximum Rock n’ Roll is set for a fall 2013 North American release, via Listenable Records.

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH – “The Coming Bloodbath” Is Out Now!

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, horror, horror metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags da-morgue magazine, Death Metal, horror, horror metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, zombie death stench on July 30, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH IS FEATURED IN THIS KILLER ISSUE (SHOWN ABOVE) OF DA-MORGUE

I have tried to locate any websites/social sites for DA-MORGUE, only with no success. Definitely an underground Horror Mag? Does this Horror Mag really exist? If anyone out there has more info on DA-MORGUE, drop a comment!! – Metal be thy name… Stone

____________________________________________

NEW ALBUM FROM ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH, THE COMING BLOODBATH, WAS RELEASED ON MARCH 26TH, 2013, VIA TURKEY VULTURE RECORDS / DISTRIBUTED BY BUNGALO RECORDS & UMG

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH – BAND BIO:

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH doesn’t fit into any one specific genre of Metal, instead playing what they like to call “Horror Metal.” Mixed within and between their aural assaults are cold analog keyboard sounds that are evocative of Horror and Sci-Fi films of the late 70’s and 80’s. Their music is cold, dark, violent and ugly. There is nothing flashy, nothing pretty and nothing about it is clean. It is Metal in its purest rotting undead form. Nothing is sacred to them…only the undead.

Formed in 2007 and, after many line-up changes, the band has found their sound with the current four core members. With three albums, (Here I Die…Zombified, The Redeadening, The Coming Bloodbath) under their belt, they are weaving their way into the Metal mainstream with much more to come in the future.

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH are from Central Valley, Bay Area, California.

ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH:

Jason Rossetti – Lead Guitar

Sean Walusko – Rhythm Guitar, vocals

Matt Howe – Bass, vocals

Mark Burkett – Drums

Michelle “Mischa” Benge – Official ZDS model

WILT – Canadian Black Metal Outfit Announces 2013 Noctis Metalfest Appearance

Posted in Black Metal, black metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Black Metal, Metal, Metal News, noctis metalfest 2013, wilt, wilt moving monoliths, wilt noctis metalfest on July 30, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Central Canadian Black Metal duo, WILT, will be taking part in this year’s Noctis Metalfest in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on September 19th – 21st.

WILT finds themselves amongst legendary company at Noctis, as performances by CARCASS, EXITER, POSSESSED, SACRIFICE, CANDLEMASS and many more have already been announced. WILT is scheduled to play on Thursday, September 19th. For more information, visit:

http://www.noctisvalkyries.com

In other news, WILT has enlisted Nick Keller (Black Dahlia Murder, Beast Wars and Heresiarch) to design the cover art for their forthcoming new release, Moving Monoliths.

Moving Monoliths is the follow-up to the band’s self-titled debut, which was released in October of last year as a digital download, and is now being offered as a limited editions (300 copies only), 180-gram white vinyl 12-inch. WILT is available on vinyl and digital formats at:

http://wiltmanitoba.bandcamp.com

As if the oldest tree in the forest pulled up its roots and migrated to its afterlife, a ghostly procession of bark and withered leaves. Death and decay are legion, but there’s a real sense of grace to the airy melodies they embed deep into the compositions, while never being as frivolous or cheap sounding as some of the tunes I’ve heard by Agalloch or Woods of Ypres (bands who possess a similar thematic approach to expression). – From the Dust Returned

WILT was unearthed in the winters of 2010. Founded by Jordan Dorge, later recruited Brett Goodchild to capture Jordan’s vision. Experience WILT, dark deprived Black Metal in its truest form hailing from the frozen prairies of Central Canada, WILT intends to take you on a journey into the depths of your soul and every crevice of the earth.

MERCILESS TERROR – To Release “Vile Extinction” October 7th On Devil’s Clause Records

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal with tags Death Metal, merciless terror, merciless terror vile extinction, metal albums 2013, Metal News, Thrash Metal on July 30, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

UK-based thrashers MERCILESS TERROR will release their full-length debut, Vile Extinction, on October 7th via Devil’s Clause Records.

The album comes on the heels of last year’s self-released EP, Eternal Decay, and sees the band overcome a series of obstacles in the form of lineup changes. Earlier this year, Michael Brush (ex-HELLBASTARD) stepped in to take over drum duties and original guitarist David Siddons took his leave and was recently replaced by shredder Luke Tasker.

Frontman Dale Linsdell commented: “‘It has been tough this past year, with new line up changes/touring and recording the album itself, we are glad to finally unleash it upon the world. This will be 11 tracks of pure terror”

Vile Extinction was recorded at Stuck on a Name Studios by co-producer Ian Boult and was mixed and mastered by Neil Williams at Abysmal Audio. The album artwork was handled by legendary artist Jon Zig and the bands logo was revamped by local artist Gary Ronaldson of Bite Radius Designs.

“When Merciless Terror are not pummeling you with savage drumming then they are berating you with speed freak like riffs and a vocal style that will make lesser music fans cower in fear!” – Destructive Music

On Sunday, August 11th, MERCILESS TERROR will be performing on the New Blood stage at this year’s Bloodstock Festival. The band has also announced several more live dates, including a September tour of Russia. Dates are as follows:

ZUD – Portland, Maine’s Obscure Blackened Jam Horde Drops Debut Album

Posted in Black Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Black Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, zud, zud the good the bad and the damned on July 29, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

ZUD – There are a few of them left out there. None are nearby and most are dead anyway. The castle has been under a long siege and strange things go on behind walls when death is such a good old pal… In one sense four years in the making, yet in another thrown together in six months. And so, out of the dead-end peninsula of Thompson’s Point in Portland, Maine, ZUD presents their debut full-length, The Good, The Bad And The Damned.

Infectiously and seamlessly merging the aesthetics of Black Metal and Classic Rock, delivering tunes with an exceedingly organic delivery and live-for-now outlook, ZUDsomehow does something vibrant and fresh while simultaneously paying homage to those who forged the paths the four members have traveled thus far in life.

Recorded and mixed by Todd Hutchinson (Falls of Rauros, AOK Suicide Forest) at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, Maine and mastered by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Repugnant) at Necromorbus Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, The Good, The Bad And The Damned hits fucking hard with more than forty minutes of killer, free-form, high-octane Metal, perfect for those late Summer night parties full of suds and bud, while keeping you aware of the fact that no matter how good or bad life may be, death is always within spitting distance.

Check out “Blood And Twilight” RIGHT HERE.

ZUD self-released The Good, The Bad And The Damned on the Summer Solstice in a limited run of 333 hand-numbered gatefold digipak CDs, available for order direct from the band HERE.

For those who lack imagination, ZUD plays old-school sleazy n’ cheesy blues-rockin’ black metal, like old Mayhem and older Bathory mixed with Roky Erickson, early Van Halen, Ash Ra Temple and a slew of other classic rock, psyche and various NWOBHM influences. It is harsh, it shreds, it kills and crushes, but it is also hypnotizing, trance-inducing and still catchy and fun as all fucking hell. This is music to die to, to cry to, to get high to, to bang your fucking head to. But most of all it is fuel for the souls of those true rock n’ roll outlaws who still wander around on their infinite journeys; be it on the iron dragons, an iron horse or on foot. Those who know that no friends or glory await at the end of the line, only death… and that there is nothing to do about it but to learn to enjoy the torture that is life in the bizarre but unique opportunities which it can present. To embrace the wastelands in the pouring rain. To smile at death. To wink back at the world when the time comes, knowing that the only thing left to say is “later twerps…”

Stay tuned for infiltrations of sheds and recluse vicinities with ZUD and their vicious live assault and be ready for plenty of surprises…

The Good, The Bad And The Damned Track Listing:

1. Portal To Infinity

2. Skull Shaped Hell

3. Blood And Twilight

4. The Junction

5. Dendrite Fumes

HER DYING REGRET – Announce New EP “Legacy”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, metalcore, Music, rock music, rock music lyrics with tags her dying regret, her dying regret legacy ep, metal albums 2013, Metal News, metalcorre on July 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

‘Heartfelt, passionate and heavy’ is how Metalcore six-piece, Her Dying Regret describe their new EP ‘Legacy’ which will be self-released this September 19th.

Following up from their debut EP ‘The Siren’ [2012] which was a dramatic introduction to the Reading based band, ‘Legacy’, recorded at Avenue Studios, Camberley with producer Daniel Kerr shows a new side to the band and the direction they want to go in musically following the release of the first EP. “We want that to be a distant memory and for ‘Legacy’ to be what we’re remembered for”, says guitarist Craig Mayor.

“On ‘Legacy’ the lyrical content and vocal style is very different as we have two vocalists providing a new dynamic that allows us to be more creative and versatile, we’ve also taken some elements out of different sub genres of Metal to fuse it with our own sound to create something different.”

The hourglass inspired artwork designed by Abyss Art’s Vincent Bolar is an important addition to the feel of ‘Legacy’ furthers Craig. “There has a lot of emphasis on time and a few songs on our EP have the message of making the most of the time you have, the hourglass represents lifespan, the EP almost has a seize the day kind of theme to it.”

Track Listing:

01 Intro

02 Ashes

03 All Judge, No Jury

04 The Shallow

05 Legacy

06 The Last Lie

07 The Filthy Truth

Listen To A Teaser Of Title Track ‘Legacy’ below!

‘Legacy’ is out 19th September 2013.

MANOWAR – Announce Next Studio Project And Plans For 2014

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags manowar, manowar kings of metal 2014, metal albums 2013, Metal News, true metal on July 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

As reported on the MANOWAR Facebook page:

MANOWAR’s “Kings Of Metal” album, a milestone in Metal history, was first released on November 18, 1988.

Already a significant force with international success since their debut album “Battle Hymns”, this release and the following 1989 “Kings Of Metal” world tour catapulted MANOWAR to a new sphere. Songs like “Heart Of Steel”, “Kings Of Metal”, “Hail And Kill” and “Blood Of The Kings” became instant anthems and remain among the most demanded songs in concerts, celebrated not only by MANOWAR fans.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of “Kings Of Metal”, MANOWAR are currently in the studio, recording a brand new special version of the album: “Kings Of Metal 2014”.

The new rendition will “honor the original as it’s inspiration, but with additional energy, fully utilizing the power of today’s technology and 25 years of experience, and it will contain new arrangements and changes that incorporate live performance elements added over the years” said MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio. “The album will feature additional bonus material and many other surprises,” he added.

The new recording is only one component of the “Kings Of Metal 2014” anniversary celebration.

For this special occasion, MANOWAR will also open their vaults and reveal never-before-seen video footage, photos, behind-the-scene interviews and insight into the history of MANOWAR and the “Kings Of Metal” era.

For the new narration on “The Warrior’s Prayer” the band will be joined by celebrated British actor Brian Blessed (“Henry V”, “Macbeth”). Mr. Blessed is a renowned Shakespeare and character actor who has starred, among others, in Kenneth Brannagh’s “Henry V” and “Much Ado About Nothing”, in “King Lear” and Oliver Stone’s “Alexander”. Brian also has an affinity with Heavy Metal music. In June 2013 he received the “Spirit of Hammer Award” at Metal Hammer UK’s Golden Gods Awards.

The new recordings will also feature guitarist Karl Logan’s and drummer Donnie Hamzik’s contributions, who, after having played these classic hymns many times live, will now have the opportunity to add to their legacy by including their own signature sound and performance.

The release of “Kings Of Metal 2014” is scheduled for the end of this year.

2014 will then see MANOWAR’s anniversary tour, performing the full “Kings Of Metal 2014” album along with their other metal hymns in a completely new stage production.

REPTILIAN DEATH – Signs With Old School Metal Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal albums, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, death metal albums 2013, Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, reptilian death on July 26, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Mumbai-based Death Metal outfit REPTILIAN DEATH has signed with Old School Metal Records for the October 10th release of the band’s second full-length, The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence.

REPTILIAN DEATH has long existed in the shadows of the Indian metal scene as the side project of Demonic Resurrection frontman, Demonstealer. The band spent their first 12 years making sporadic live appearances and changing line-ups fairly often. During that time, REPTILIAN DEATH had an almost humorous disposition, writing little spoof Metal epics like ‘5 Easy Ways To Murder Someone’ and ‘Nursery Rhymes For Satan’s Children’ while balancing a handful of serious tracks which eventually found themselves on their 2004 debut, Total Annihilation. In 2006, the band’s direction took a turn for the serious with the release of their EP Intestinal Feast on the Defaced And Split album, which also featured Exhumation, Warface and Narsil.

Shortly after the release, the band returned to the shadows until resurfacing in early 2013. The band exploded on the scene and completely metamorphosed into a brand new beast. Fronted by Vinay Venkatesh (Bhaynak Maut), dressed in priestly robes with his face painted half black and half white and backed by a band of masked members REPTILIAN DEATH has moved out of the shadows and into the forefront of the global Metal community. The world will now see The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence.

More details to come…

Video footage of REPTILIAN DEATH performing at Domination: The Deathfest 2013 is below!

Chip DiMonick – Reveals What Album He Cannot Live Without!

Posted in Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Music, rock bands, rock music, rock music news with tags chip dimonick, halestorm, halestorm the strange case of..., Hard Rock, rock music news, the sign of a new generation on July 26, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Chip DiMonick

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ROCKS. This grand metropolis doesn’t just Rock due to their major league sports champions. Nope. Pittsburgh also Rocks cause it’s the home of Chip DiMonick. Blue-collar Hard Rock from a blue-collar city. Chip and his band have won many Rock ‘N Roll awards of their own, in the greater Pittsburgh area; while earning tidal waves of fans with their catchy original songs and DIY work ethic.

Recently, Chip DiMonick took the time to answer a question for Metal Odyssey. Thank you Chip! The question: What album (minus your own) could you not be able to live without? It can be from any genre of music and have as many words as you’d like too. Here’s what Chip had to say:

___________________________________________

“The album I couldn’t live without is “The Strange Case Of…” by Halestorm. This album is total quality from Track 1 through Track 15 (yes, I have the 15-track deluxe edition!). Very few albums in the history of rock have consistently good songs throughout. There always seems to be a crappy song in there somewhere. But not on “Strange Case Of!”

The album has so much diversity, from soft ballads to aggressive screamers. So, no matter what mood I’m in, I can find songs to match on this release. Finally, I’ll say that the songwriting is impeccable. The melodies, the riffs, the hooks…it’s just ALL THERE. I hope Halestorm can recreate the magic they conjured up with this album with their future efforts. If they can, rock fans like me will have lots of timeless music to indulge in for years – or decades – to come!”

HALESTORM – The Strange Case Of…

(Released in April, 2012, via Atlantic Records)

Chip DiMonick – Lead vocals, guitar, keyboard

Carmen “CC” Capozzi – Drums, background vocals

Joe P. – Bass, background vocals

Have a Good Time, the new and contagiously Rockin’ music video from Hard Rock Legends, KING KOBRA, is written about the Rock n’ Roll Club, Vamp’d, in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve been digging this KING KOBRA song and video like there’s no freaking tomorrow! Whoa! Hallelujah! And… Metal be thy name!! Therefore, since KING KOBRA’s music video, Have A Good Time, has been pumping-up my Heavy Rock adrenaline for a few weeks now, I shall declare:

KING KOBRA’S Have A Good Time Music Video Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Pay close attention (if you like) while this music video psyches-you-out… cause there’s some very cool and famous dudes that take part in this video: Vinnie Paul, Ace Frehley, Zakk Wylde, Ron Jeremy, Carrot Top, a hot gal dancing on the stage and (of course) Danny “The Count” Koker, to name a many few! Whoa again!

KING KOBRA II Was Released On July 9th, 2013, Via Frontiers Records.

ORANGE GOBLIN – To Return To North America This Autumn!

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, stoner metal with tags metal albums 2012, metal albums 2013, Metal News, orange goblin, orange goblin tour dates 2013, stoner metal on July 25, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Britain’s premier Stoner Metal band ORANGE GOBLIN will return to perform at venues throughout North America this Autumn. Following the band’s huge success earlier this year as main support for Clutch on their Earth Rocker North American tour, the Brits return for a full headlining run. Kicking off in New Orleans on September 27, the band will visit 38 cities around the United States and Canada before concluding in Nashville on November 9. Support on the tour will come from Holy Grail and Lazer/Wulf.

The trek finds ORANGE GOBLIN continuing a year-long commitment to performances in support of their latest studio album, A Eulogy For the Damned (2012), and first live CD/DVD released earlier this year. This rigorous schedule has seen them perform in over 25 countries across the globe, ensuring that the band is firing on all cylinders and maintaining their reputation as one of the fiercest and most exciting live acts on the planet! In fact, Clutch’s own Neil Fallon was recently seen on That Metal Show wearing an ORANGE GOBLIN shirt and proclaiming them to be one of his favorite bands!

Released March 12, A Eulogy For The Fans/Orange Goblin Live 2012 includes ORANGE GOBLIN’s complete performances from England ’s Bloodstock Open Air and France’s Hellfest. The package’s DVD includes the official Tom Cronin directed videos for “Red Tide Rising” and “Acid Trial,” the latter courtesy of Scion A/V. It further includes the Matt Chance directed “Red Tide Rising” documentary and Gaetan Chataigner directed “Highway to Hellfest” documentary. Art and design was provided by Jimbob Isaac under the direction of vocalist Ben Ward.

The live album follows the release of A Eulogy For The Damned, now ORANGE GOBLIN’s highest selling album in North America. Produced by Jamie Dodd and mastered by two-time Grammy-nominated engineer Andy Jackson (Pink Floyd), the album entered the UK charts at position 96 and for the US landed on Billboard Magazine’s Heat Seekers chart at position 38. Tickets for the tour are set to go on sale via all appropriate ticket agencies and venue box offices next week.

SAMMY HAGAR “Three Lock Box” – 1982 Album Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Posted in classic rock, classic rock albums, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock news, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags 1980's hard rock albums, classic rock, classic rock albums, Hard Rock, metal odyssey, sammy hagar, the red rocker, three lock box on July 25, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

SAMMY HAGAR – The Red Rocker. Rock ‘N Roll Legend. Sammy Hagar. Back in the day, any smart dude knew enough to have a Sammy Hagar cassette or two in the car; especially Three Lock Box. Why is that Stone? Well… chicks really dug Sammy Hagar, back then, of course! Ah, those were the days. Oops… daze. Come to think of it, these same gals today (must) seem to think Sammy Hagar is still a Rockin’ cool dude. My wife (basically) melts apart at the seams whenever Sammy is on television or his Rock ‘N Roll is cranking! I don’t mind. It’s Sammy Hagar, the dude epitomizes Rock ‘N Roll cool. Metal be thy name.

I can remember this album being released, like it was yesterday. An old high school buddy of mine bought Three Lock Box on vinyl right away. We listened to this album quite a bit too. I was a sophomore in high school back in ’82, the year of this album’s release. I eventually snagged Three Lock Box on cassette and I actually still own it! It’s in a water-proof container somewhere in my basement. My prehistoric cassette collection has survived over the decades; regardless of natural disasters and downsizing!

___________________________

Admittedly, I still get psyched-out-of-my-Metal-mind from the tracks: Three Lock Box, Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy and Remember The Heroes. All three of those songs were HUGE radio hits, back when FM meant something. Since his early days with Montrose, through his Van Hagar glory years and up to the present day, there consistently has been an it-factor that Sammy Hagar has glowing from his Rock ‘N Roll persona, voice and guitar. Whatever that “it” is, none of us can walk into Walmart to buy it… that’s for certain!

My Best Metal Buddy, Scott Coverdale, had suggested to me a long while ago to pick Three Lock Box as Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day. When Scott came up with this idea, I felt it was a no-brainer! I just don’t know what took me so long to write about it! Nevertheless, I have written about Sammy Hagar’s Three Lock Box and it is forever secured as Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day! Amen and… Whoa.

Sammy Hagar (pictured above) today! Sammy is posing with his Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum Red Head. This cool rum of Sammy’s debuted on June 8th, 2013, at The Palazzo in Las Vegas. Whoa.

AUTHOR & PUNISHER – Live Rituals To Commence Next Week In Tulsa, OK

Posted in drone metal, industrial metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags author & punisher, author & punisher tour dates 2013, drone metal, industrial doom metal, industrial metal, Metal News on July 25, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

In just one week, AUTHOR & PUNISHER – one Tristan Shone – will embark upon a 19-date North American trek supporting Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals. Fittingly dubbed the Technicians Of Distortion Tour, the long-anticipated journey will commence July 31st in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Additional support will be provided by WARBEAST.

Comments Shone of the upcoming adventure: “I knew I had to step it up when Phil asked me to join this tour…the result is my most ambitious live undertaking. I have worked myself to a bloody pulp soldering, rewiring, building, to make things stronger, louder and more devastating. I also am bringing a small team along with me as well to help with live video streaming, cameras etc. This will for sure be a raucous affair not to be missed….”

AUTHOR & PUNISHER mercilessly manipulate the principal conventions of doom, industrial and heavy bass music relying on cold steel and soulless machinery to sonically replicate the despondency of life. Described most succinctly as “industrial doom,” this one-man project utilizes primarily custom designed and fabricated machines and speakers, devices that draw heavily on aspects of industrial automation and robotics and focus upon the eroticism of interaction with machine. Through his maniacal audio decomposition, Shone paints an often disturbing soundtrack of a world gone rotten.

AUTHOR & PUNISHER’s latest long player, Women & Children, was unleashed via Seventh Rule Recordings last month and continues to raise the eyebrows of fans and critics alike for its cold, mechanical, inexplicably cathartic audio menace.

Women & Children is currently available via Seventh Rule Recordings. Order your copy at http://shop.seventhrule.com.

CRITICAL PRAISE:

“…heavy and disturbing like a nightmare you suddenly wake from but aren’t quite sure you fully escaped…” – Metal Injection

“Shone’s apocalyptic noise blends elements of industrial, doom, and dubstep, and contorts that mass into some chilling, unrecognizable form…” – Stereogum

“…a remarkably bleak and sinister record that explores the depressive and psychedelic in entirely new ways.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

WORLD TOUR TO LAUNCH U.S. LEG ON AUGUST 29th IN SAN DIEGO

LIVING COLOUR JOIN OCTOBER 22 IN SEATTLE

14TH Album – Unstoppable Momentum – Out Now

__________________________________

(Los Angeles, CA) Joe Satriani has just confirmed the dynamic ground breaking hard rock outfit LIVING COLOUR to the bill supporting the West Coast leg of his upcoming U.S. tour. Living Colour will join the world-renowned guitarist when he hits Seattle, WA on October 22nd and will continue through Salem and Paso Robles before winding up on October 26th in SATRIANI’s home base, in the Bay Area, with a show at the Fox Theater in Oakland.

The U.S. tour launches on August 29th in San Diego with Steve Morse as support on the first leg. Joining Satriani on the road are veteran band mate Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai) on keyboards, along with an entirely new rhythm-section, featuring bassist Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Dweezil Zappa) and drummer Marco Minnemann (Adrian Belew, Steve Wilson).

SATRIANI has just concluded his hugely successful two-month European tour, the critical praise is overwhelming. Hitting seventeen countries in all, the tour has played to sold-out venues throughout the continent. It was also recently announced that Satriani will be honored to perform the National Anthem at this year’s Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

The multi-platinum guitarist is set to serenade the grid this year as he performs the Star-Spangled Banner at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix on Sunday, July 21st. Satriani will perform from the track just prior to the three-day event’s premier contest, the MotoGP™ World Championship race.

Tracii Guns’ League Of Gentlemen “The Sound” Music Video: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Tracii Guns’ League Of Gentlemen

The First Record (Shrapnel Records)

______________________________________________

Back on June 18th, Tracii Guns’ League Of Gentlemen – The First Record was released via Shrapnel Records. What a record it is! Classic Rock is solidified, within the gilded-lined and melodic songs on The First Record; the glorious spillover of retro sound from this must-own record is captivating!

The First Record is easily one of the very best in Rock and Hard Rock albums in 2013. The vocals of Scott Foster Harris are always instantly memorable for me; he truly is one of the finest vocalists in Rock music today, in my honest opinion.

Then there is Tracii Guns. This Rock ‘N Roll legend should take his rightful bow; for this band he has assembled have created musical magic together that’s called The First Record. I pray it’s a first of many more to come. Metal be thy name.

Tracii Guns’ League Of Gentleman The Sound – Is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!
