How are we all doing this lovely Wednesday afternoon? Summer has started for most of us; not me, I stupidly took 2 summer classes, I know, blasphemous! So I haven't blogged lately, well I think in almost 6 months..I swear, I had like 12 drafts, I just never got to completing them. What did ya miss? Well nothing really, except I sadly dropped my precious two year old in a lake- my Mp3 Player. No kids for me I'm dating a hockey player, so that is a bit out of the question, hmm, except now [...]

Deftones can't stop touring behind Diamond Eyes ; They're playing festivals, solo, with Alice in Chains and Mastodon , and now with Baroness . The rising prog metal band from Georgia has just announced a late-summer tour with Deftones, supporting last year's Blue Record (which you can stream here ). The three-week U.S. tour is concentrated on a bunch of small-market towns that often get ignored by major tours. Case in point: the tour begins August 12th in Spokane, Washington. Deftones and Baroness will take the longest possible diagonal [...]
By Ben Apatoff The cover art suggests that they've missed ALICE IN CHAINS' comeback. The title is taken from a a poem that's almost as over quoted in the metal community as anything by Nietzsche. Don't count on Germany's HEAVEN SHALL BURN for originality on their sixth album, Invictus, but musically it's a very enjoyable set ...
Velkommen til tredje del af Frekvens' store Roskilde guide, i denne del vil vi gennemgå den gruppe af bands som vi har valgt at kalde mellemgruppen, dvs. den gruppe af bands som er blevet fremhævet på plakaten men som ikke helt er hovednavne, og faktisk synes jeg ofte der er her man finder de mest interessante navne. I år er ingen undtagelse og man finder bl.a. sværvægtere som LCD Soundsystem og Pavement i mellemgruppen. Læs mere for at se den komplette gennemgang af alle navnene. Husk også at læse første og anden [...]

Wow - did I ever just the gun on 'at. See, I didn't even think [...]
La semana pasada la organización del festival Sonisphere anunció a dos nuevas incorporaciones al cartel. Son dos grupos de Getafe: Quinta Enmienda y Tao Te King . Una iniciativa que, por cierto, me parece todo un detalle para ayudar a los grupos locales, que van a compartir escenario con los pesos pesados del metal internacional. Estos últimos grupos en incorporarse se suman a W.A.S.P, Porcupine Tree, Annihilator y Anathema , que anunció la organización para suplir el enorme hueco dejado por Heaven and Hell , que tristemente no podrán tocar debido a la [...]
Stone Temple Pilots Stone Temple Pilots Atlantic Records 24 May 2010 by Andy Parker March 27th 2008. After a 40 minute wait, in true egocentric rock'n'roll style, Velvet Revolver finally took to the stage at the Brighton Centre for what proved to be their final performance, and this reviewer's eyes bore witness to something quite magical. Sadly, Velvet Revolver was [...]

Last year, Gillian Welch's longtime musical collaborator Dave Rawlings released his first solo album A Friend Of A Friend under the clever moniker - Dave Rawlings Machine . The album, which made my Top 6 Of The Last 6 , features Welch, along with members of OCMS, Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes/MoF), and was recently nominated for four Americana Music Association Awards, the most of any nominee this year. Rawlings will hit the road with the Machine for a 14-date run, which includes [...]

In the last few years, something seemed to happen and I barely noticed. Suddenly, I'm no longer the young kid at the show. I'm one of the guys hiding out by the bar. I'm not crowd surfing, not covered in sweat with my shirt off, and I'm certainly not moshing. I'm also not randomly yelling [...]

Tickets go on pre-sale shortly and to celebrate whoever conceived this beauty, I wanted to shoot up some videos [...]

This fall, bringing the rawk to a city near you, it's Alice in Chains, Deftones, and Mastodon! Combining the titles of each band's latest album, the "Blackdiamondskye" Tour has many in the metal and rock communities excited. For those keeping track, Black Gives Way to Blue is the latest offering from Alice in Chains, Diamond Eyes is the title of the up-coming release by the Deftones(to be released May 4th), and Crack the Skye by Mastodon is an excellent selection to blare while driving down the freeway with the windows [...]
BlackDiamondSkye tour dates New song from Interpol Plastic Beach sequels? The Led Zeppelin experience
Sometimes rumors never come to fruition. Other times they do, and make for the greatest news of the day. This is certainly the case for metal heads, who can now do a collective fist pump: the Alice in Chains + Deftones + Mastodon North American tour is official. Dubbed the "BlackDiamondSkye" tour - the name is a mish-mash of the bands' most current releases: Black Gives Way to Blue , Diamond Eyes , and Crack the Skye [...]
