Back at me desk post a fagulous interview with the PERFUME GENIUS, and the EVANESCENCE have me LOST IN PARADISE with their new lyric video.
Marvel's The Avengers is in theaters right now. So on today's Rock it Out! Blog episode, I reached out to the superheroes to see if they would review the soundtrack for their own movie. Here are their thoughts. What did you think of the soundtrack? Leave a comment and feel free to share this video with everyone you know.

Evanescence is back out on a headline spring tour in support of their self-titled album. Last Tuesday, the hard rock band came to Stubb's in Austin. Our photographer Jennifer Murtha was there to get some great shots of Amy Lee and the band. Check them out inside and head over to evanescence.com

Evanescence with Amy Lee (far right) showed up to sign autographs for Record Store Day in Houston. What happened where you live? I still have a bit of a hangover from Record Store Day yesterday ... what about you? The fifth annual event, staged to help music fans remember their independent music stores, took place yesterday at record shops across the country, and people walked away with armloads of exclusive, rare vinyl and CD items made just for the occasion. As someone who's faithfully patronized RSD every year since [...]

There's not denying it - for UK rock fans, the cancellation of Sonisphere 2012 was the biggest news story this week. Unless something incredibly dramatic happens later this year, we'd put good money on it being one of - if not the - biggest news story of the entire year . It's because it's such a momentous news event that we're dedicating this week's Sunday Slaylist to the acts that were supposed to be performing at Knebworth this Summer...only with an extra little twist.... [...]

Yesterday we heard a small snippet of brand new music from Soundgarden from their brand new song called "Live To Rise" from The Avengers soundtrack. Now we've got the rest of the line up for the OST...and I am a sad person. While bands like Soundgarden, Rise Against and Kasabian are on this album, unfortunately there are bands like Black Veil Brides, Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach on it as well. Seriously, why do all the big action movies need to reach out to bands like these for a [...]
Epica Requiem For The Indifferent Nuclear Blast 09 March 2012 by Tom Dare Proving that heavy metal still has much further to go than it thinks in shedding its chauvinistic image, Epica have for some odd reason been clumped under that dreadful "female-fronted metal" definition. It's a label so meaningless it geta applied to everyone from Nightwish to Arch Enemy. And it's stopped Epica for getting credit as widely as they should for quite how distinct they are. [...]
