And they’re not entering that studio because they want a tour of the studio or because they’re going to be there visiting friends who are in another band, recording an album at that studio. Nope. Hammerfall will themselves begin recording their next album one week from today. Man, can you feel the excitement? Oh wait…that Read More
I don’t believe this for a second. NME’s site is notorious for getting shit wrong, so take this report with a grain of salt. The magazine’s website claims that Guns N’ Roses are set to begin work on a new album and “have promised it won’t take the 15 years it took to release 2008’s Read More
That’s the way it’s looking according to Anthrax’s Scott Ian, who — along with Joey Belladonna, who returned to the group back in May — claims that there are three songs completed, and that the boys are “doing our best to move forward ever.” In a promotional video at the end of this post, Ian Read More
Not only is Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz a hilarious dude and beyond-gifted musician, he’s also become something of a super producer, helming efforts for He Is Legend, Shadows Fall, Overcast, and Norma Jean. Now, Unearth have tapped Adam D once again (he produced 2001’s The Stings of Conscience, 2002’s EndlessThe Oncoming Storm) for their Read More
I feel like we’ve been hearing about this forthcoming Jane’s Addiction album for years now. They’ve been working on this thing so long, original bassist Eric Avery has left and been replaced by Velvet Revolver’s Duff McKagan, who has already had enough of Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell and left the band not too long Read More
All Shall Perish — you know, that deathcore band from Oakland, California — have begun working on the follow-up to 2008’s Awaken the Dreamers. Phatness! According to guitarist Ben Orum, the band have returned from “two very successful tours at home and abroad,” and that they “are now home writing the new All Shall Perish Read More
This is exciting news. Hate Eternal — the amazing Floridian death metal troupe fronted by guitarist and producer Erik Rutan — has commenced the conception of their next LP. The band have started tracking the effort at Erik’s Mana Recording Studios. They’ve been doing pre-production on the disc for more than two months, and now, Read More
I’m sure it will be. Heavy, brutal, riff-heavy…all the usual pre-album hype these deathcore cats spew these days on their Fakebooks and their Tweeters with their Twilights and their rainbow parties. I’m not the least bit surprised these guys would use an adjective like “heavy,” because listening to their music, you can tell they’re the Read More
Like the rest of us, Wes Borland’s probably wondering when Gold Cobra, the new Limp Bizkit record, will be out. I mean, it’s been two years since Fred Durst started hyping this effort, and we’ve only heard snippets here and there of new Limp songs. Not that I’m, like, feverish for new Limp. But I Read More
Varg — not the homophobic dude who burned down all those churches and killed Euronymous, but the German Viking metallers pictured to the right in front of some apocalyptic environment wherein crows still fly the scorched skies above — will release a new disc in 2011. Called Wolfskult, the band’s third LP drops February 25 Read More
