RIMFROST Share Lyric Video Tribute To JASON VOORHEES
 Swedish blackened death metal outfit Rimfrost have revealed a new lyric video. It's a love letter of sorts to a great man, Jason Voorhees - hero of the Friday The 13th series. The song “Voorhees” is taken from their fourth full-length album, Expedition: Darkness, released earlier this month via Ferocious Records.
Expedition: Darkness is heavily inspired by the horror movie genre. "With this album we wanted to think outside the typical black metal box we've been put in and infuse even more of our own influences, both regarding music and our love for horror,” says Rimfrost bassist Khratos.
About the album Rimfrost’s drummer Trollv comments: "The heavy metal spirit is more prominent as well, in our eyes the hardest, toughest kind of metal you can get, with a mix of black and death metal. We tried a couple of new things and we think it turned out fucking amazing!”
Tracklisting:
“Rising Of A Black Dawn”
“Damned Jaws”
“Sam-Hain”
“Dawnbreaker”
“Expedition: Darkness”
“Voorhees”
“Bloodnight”
“Natten”
“At The Blessing Of The Damned”

The 12-song-debut was recorded and mixed at Greg's Black Planet Studio between January and March 2019.

BLIND GUARDIAN TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA - Voicing Legacy Of The Dark Lands; Video Trailer
 Promising to be one of the most ambitious projects in metal history, Blind Guardian’s upcoming release will be well worth the wait. The idea of recording an orchestral album originally formed in the minds of the two leading lights of the Blind Guardian universe - guitarist André Olbrich and singer Hansi Kürsch - during the 1990s when Blind Guardian started to use orchestral elements to enhance their opulent sound.
In recent years the giant project started to take shape, and parallel to its epic sound cascades, the lyrical concept was developed. For this, Blind Guardian was able to find support in German bestselling author Markus Heitz, whose latest novel Die Dunklen Lande was released on March 1 2019. The book is set in 1629 and contains the prequel to Blind Guardian’s opus Legacy Of The Dark Lands, which will be released November 8.
This new trailer features British (voice-)actors Normal Eshley and Douglas Fielding. "Unfortunately, we lost Douglas on June 26th, in 2019.
What pleasure to have his thundering voice once again on Legacy Of The Dark Lands!," says the group:
The Legacy Of The Dark Lands will be available in the below formats:
- 2CD Digipak
- 2LP Gatefold (different colours)
- 3CD Comic book (album, instrumental, no interludes version)
- 4CD Comic book (album, instrumental, no interludes version, audiobook)
- 5LP BOX (Album 2LP, Instrumental 2LP, Audiobook LP)
Pre-order the album here.
Tracklisting:
"1618 Ouverture"
"The Gathering"
"War Feeds War"
"Comets And Prophecies"
"Dark Cloud’s Rising"

THE MURDER OF MY SWEET To Release Brave Tin World Album In December; "Tin Soldiers" Lyric Video Streaming
 Frontiers Music Srl announce sthe release of The Murder Of My Sweet's fifth studio album, Brave Tin World, on December 6. Today, the band has unveiled the first video and single from the album, "Tin Soldiers". Watch the lyric video below, and stream the single and pre-order the album here.
Brave Tin World is yet another fantastic album where the band delivers a fine slice of cinematic/symphonic metal. Often compared to musical giants such as Within Temptation, Nemesea, and Delain, The Murder Of My Sweet are Sweden’s significant answer to those revered Dutch acts.
Musically, the band’s new album follows the path of their previous record, Beth Out Of Hell, with a more straight-ahead songwriting approach, while still offering the symphonic and cinematic elements the band is now well-known for. Brave Tin World showcases a Nordic sound that the members of the band grew up listening to and lyrically takes on issues in tune with our modern day life.
"It's a more relaxed and mature album,” says producer and drummer Daniel Flores. "We're currently in transition with our songwriting, trying to bring out our identity instead of our chops. Sonically, we've taken a step further too, concentrating on more details than before."
Debuting with the first single, “Tin Soldiers”, the band is truly stronger than ever. "The song seems like it's been growing in our heads for the past ten years. We just didn't know how to communicate it properly until now. It's sort of an adventure about a mature topic that is unfortunately still very much of an issue these days,” says singer Angelica Rylin.
With Angelica Rylin carrying the vocals with her smooth, powerful voice, the wall of sound supporting the vocals is provided by Christopher Vetter on guitar, Patrik Janson on bass, and Daniel Flores on drums and keyboards. It’s easy to close your eyes while listening to The Murder Of My Sweet and imagine you are listening to a movie soundtrack. It has that musical film production value that makes movies feel bigger than life, but translated to music.
"This album has something we've never accomplished before,” concludes Daniel Flores. "It's a perfect balance between heavy and light and the immersion is so substantial no one will be able to deny it."
The Murder Of My Sweet’s aim is to create a distorted film noir vibe and experience by putting the wonder, sadness, humour and sheer zest of life into their music. By playing it to the point where the drama explodes, the music and the words become the utmost expression of the direct and ecstatic pure joy of being. The Murder Of My Sweet have arrived again with an unforgettable thrill of a lifetime album. Whatever you do, don’t miss the show.
Tracklisting:
"Tin Soldiers"
"My Religion"
"Head Of The Snake"

RUNNING WILD: Lyric Video For New Song 'Crossing The Blades'
 It's been three years since RUNNING WILD wowed its fans with its latest album, "Rapid Foray". Three years in which a lot of water has passed under the metal galleys of time and the fans' requests for new songs have become more and more vociferous. To ease the wait so that his supporters won't have to hold out until early summer 2020, RUNNING WILD captain Rock 'N' Rolf has come up with a real masterstroke: on December 6 2019 — Saint Nicholas Day! — the band will release the EP "Crossing The Blades", featuring four brand-new tracks, including an exciting cover of the KISS classic "Strutter".
First of all, the focus is on the EP's opener, "Crossing The Blades", the official lyric video for which can be seen below. What's so special about this song is the fact that it's a harbinger of the next regular album, scheduled for release in summer, but will remain unique in its present incarnation. As Kasparek explains: "This version will only be available on the 'Crossing The Blades' EP. The album will feature a different version, completely re-recorded and with a number of little changes." The EP's second track is called "Stargazed" and should be familiar to a lot of Wacken Open Air attendees; after all, RUNNING WILD had presented the song exclusively at the 2018 edition of the festival, to an enthusiastic response. Number three is "Strutter", an homage to Rolf's first idols, of course in typical RUNNING WILD style and with a little more steam than the original. Last but not least: the new EP closes with "Ride On The Wild Side", which — thanks to its powerful pace and high compositional quality — would almost have made the shortlist for the upcoming album.
Thanks to its first-rate production and a number of exclusive features, these four songs are more than likely to make up the long wait until summer 2020 and the arrival of the next full album. At the same time, they will heighten the anticipation of RUNNING WILD's new material and their upcoming festival appearances.
"Crossing The Blades" track listing:
01. Crossing The Blades
02. Stargazed
03. Strutter
04. Ride On The Wild Side
Lineup:
Rock 'N' Rolf - guitar, vocals
Peter Jordan - guitars
Ole Hempelmann - bass
Michael Wolpers - drums

SOILWORK Releases Brand New Song 'Feverish'
 Swedish metallers SOILWORK have released a brand new song called "Feverish". The track is being made available digitally along with a new version of their last album's single "Stålfågel", featuring ARCH ENEMY singer Alissa White-Gluz.
Commented the band: "We have all been feverish. We have all sometimes given in to the temperature rising inside of us, being ridden by a ghost that made us do things we didn’t want to do, but it somehow felt good afterwards, like a purging of the mortal organism that confines us.
"Some people say that our bodies were originally designed to have a higher temperature. That when humanity first evolved our bodies were constantly feverish, the warmth subduing our control mechanisms and the neurotic, nervous behaviour we seem to be so prone to these days. And that might be one of the reasons we were able to proliferate and conquer the world. and subdue its natural inhabitants. Perhaps it's time to let go again, to unleash the fire still burning within us, biding its time and still hoping to one day be able to take over."
SOILWORK will release "The Feverish Trinity" over the next five months, a trilogy of songs with accompanying videos that, according to the band, will "celebrate the Babylonian Death Goddesses that once made the world a more Feverish and exciting place."
SOILWORK's eleventh studio album, "Verkligheten", was released in January via Nuclear Blast. The first-edition digipack, as well as the vinyl versions, also contain the exclusive "Underworld" EP, containing four more songs. The digipack version also features special artwork with lavish foil print.
"Verkligheten" is SOILWORK's first to feature drummer Bastian Thusgaard, who replaced Dirk Verbeuren in 2016.

MOLLY HATCHET Relesases New Digital Single 'Whiskey Man'
 Southern rock legends MOLLY HATCHET have released a new digital single and music video for the song "Whiskey Man". The track is taken from the band's forthcoming live album, "Battleground", which will be released on November 29 through SPV/Steamhammer as 2CD digipak, 3LP gatefold version, download and stream.
It's no secret that a lot of fans measure the artistic value of a rock band mainly by the quality of a group's live performance. THE ALLMAN BROTHERS without their legendary concerts? Unthinkable! LYNYRD SKYNYRD as just another anemic studio project? Impossible to imagine! The same goes for MOLLY HATCHET as another legendary force among these protagonists of the longstanding history of Southern rock that, alongside lots of outstanding studio recordings, the band's full potential comes into effect live on stage. Again and again, the musicians surrounding guitarist Bobby Ingram have reinforced their reputation as an awesome live act in brilliant live "battles," so it comes as no surprise that requests by their international fan base for a new live recording have been growing increasingly insistent for a number of years.
"Battleground" was recorded in Pratteln, Switzerland, in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and during MOLLY HATCHET's 40th-anniversary tour of the United States and features amazing cover artwork created by Paul Raymond Gregory (SAXON, BLIND GUARDIAN, URIAH HEEP, among others).
Ingram looks back with legitimate pride and unmistakable modesty not only at the new live album but also at the band's career to date.
"MOLLY HATCHET has now been in the mainstream of Southern rock for over forty years and still counting," he says. "That in and of itself is an honor for every band member who experienced the journey along the way." It's this honor that listeners sense in every note on "Battleground".
The upcoming shows will see Ingram & Co. not only present their greatest hits, they will also introduce their new vocalist Jimmy Elkins, who has joined the fold to replace the late Phil McCormack, who sadly passed away in April 2019. Elkins was the frontman of Florida band BOUNTY HUNTER for a number of years, an act who has shared a stage with MOLLY HATCHET on various occasions over the past two decades.
"To us it was the logical next step to ask Jimmy to become our new vocalist," Ingram explains. "You can tell that he has the Southern rock gene and is a perfect match for MOLLY HATCHET, not only on a musical but also on a personal level."

MOTÖRHEAD's PHIL CAMPBELL Teams Up With JUDAS PRIEST's ROB HALFORD On 'Straight Up' Song
 Longtime MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Phil Campbell has released his first-ever solo record, "Old Lions Still Roar", via Nuclear Blast. To celebrate, he has unveiled a brand new track, "Straight Up", featuring the unmistakable vocal talents of JUDAS PRIEST's Rob Halford. Watch the video below.
Phil comments: "'The Metal God' Rob Halford has always been an artist I admire. His distinctive vocals and stage presence have rocked millions of fans all over the world, so I count myself blessed to have written a rockin' song together with him!"

Other guest musicians that appear on "Old Lions Still Roar" include Chris Fehn (SLIPKNOT), Benji Webbe (SKINDRED), Whitfield Crane (UGLY KID JOE) and Joe Satriani.

01. Rocking Chair (feat. Leon Stanford)
02. Straight Up (feat. Rob Halford)

10. Tears From A Glass Eye (feat. Joe Satriani)
Campbell recently told Andrew McKaysmith of the "Scars And Guitars" podcast about "Old Lions Still Roar": "I wouldn't say [it was] 20 years in the making, but 20 years I've been yearning to do a solo album. Since MOTÖRHEAD, sadly, finished, I've had more time to think about [it] and to knuckle down and everything. I probably started the first recording of it about two and a half, three years ago. I wanted to make an album where I branched out a little bit. I've had some of the ideas — one or two of them — for, like, 10 or 12 years, and some not so long. Some are brand new. I just didn't want to do an album sounding like MOTÖRHEAD. I've done 20-odd albums like that."
Speaking about the album's guest stars, Phil said: "I couldn't believe the incredible players that spent some time on the record for me. I'm the luckiest guy in the world in that respect. Mega talent all the way through it, helping me out when I needed help. I've got no complaints whatsoever... Everyone did a fantastic job. I think I did really well on putting people [and] having ideas of who would be great for a certain song... All these people that I tried to put in certain songs and I had ideas for out of the blue would sound good, they all did amazingly well, because they went for the good of the song. So many players these days just play for themselves, and it's got fuck-all to do with the song. They just want to show off, but these people did amazingly well. I'm really pleased in that way... There's a great art in actually playing for the good of the song... You can ruin the song if the bassist hasn't got his shit together. A good song can be ruined. That's the foundation for the track, and it gives it a groove. If that's all gone to pot, a bloody good song can be passed by."

Video Premiere: BAD WOLVES' 'Killing Me Slowly'
 BAD WOLVES have released the official Nick Peterson-directed music video for the song "Killing Me Slowly". The track is taken from the band's sophomore album, "N.A.T.I.O.N.", which is being released today (Friday, October 25) via Eleven Seven Music.
BAD WOLVES have proven to be the unprecedented global breakthrough rock act of 2018 and aim to continue that momentum with "N.A.T.I.O.N." The stunning 12-track follow-up to their debut album, "Disobey", is a bit of a departure — staying in the same realm musically, but breaking beyond. As vocalist Tommy Vext explains: "We've honed it in and really delivered a more focused version of BAD WOLVES' sound. Basically, it's like pouring steroids on everything we love about the first record to create an album that's a roller coaster of emotional experience."
Founding member and drummer John Boecklin adds: "'N.A.T.I.O.N.' is definitely a big step in the right direction. We're still evolving. It's only our second record and I'm very excited about it."
BAD WOLVES will support FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH on their headlining arena tour, beginning Friday, November 1, in Las Vegas, through its 28 dates, culminating on Wednesday, December 18, in Omaha, Nebraska.
"Disobey" came out in May 2018 and included BAD WOLVES' rendition of the 1993 CRANBERRIES classic "Zombie".
Guitarist Doc Coyle spoke to Australia's Loud about the musical direction of the band's second album. He explained: "It's diverse. There's stuff that's probably heavier, as or more heavy than the last record... And then there's some really catchy, kind of more mainstream stuff to cover that end of it, and a lot of stuff in the middle."
BAD WOLVES was formed in 2017, comprised of former members of DEVILDRIVER, GOD FORBID, DIVINE HERESY and IN THIS MOMENT.

LACUNA COIL Releases AMAZON ORIGINAL Song 'Bad Things'
 Italian alt metal superstars LACUNA COIL have released an Amazon Original song titled "Bad Things". The track is only available to stream and purchase on Amazon Music.
"The spookiest time of the year is approaching, the magic night when pumpkins glow by moonlight!" says Andrea Ferro of LACUNA COIL. "Halloween is known as the end of summer and the start of winter, a season associated with darkness and frigid weather. We have decided to celebrate the fact that we will be the first Italian artists to create an Amazon Original track with an appropriately themed song called 'Bad Things'. The song has a unique horror vibe perfect for the last day of October, when the boundary between the living and the dead becomes blurred."
Earlier this month, LACUNA COIL released its ninth studio album, "Black Anima". Just as "Comalies" (2002), "Shallow Life" (2009) and "Delirium" (2016) upped the ante and rocketed the Milan-based outfit into the upper echelons of metaldom, "Black Anima" is a level beyond all that. It's both a hard look at the past and a brave sprint into the future. Two years in the making, "Black Anima" arrives the same year that LACUNA COIL celebrates its 20th anniversary as a band.
Amazon Music listeners can find "Bad Things" on the playlist "Metal Scene", a collection of loud, supercharged metal music to stir up some mayhem in your world. Customers can also simply ask, "Alexa, play the Amazon Original by LACUNA COIL" in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android and on Alexa-enabled devices. In addition to the new track, Amazon Music listeners can access hundreds of Amazon Originals featuring both emerging and established artists across numerous genres, available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music. | +1 | |

HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD Returns With New Single 'Already Dead'
 HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD has returned with a fiery new single, "Already Dead". The song marks the band's first music released since 2018's "Psalms" EP, which has racked up over 50 million streams worldwide. "Already Dead" is also the first effort from HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD's forthcoming sixth full-length album, due next year via Dove & Grenade Media/BMG. More details will be announced soon.
"It's an explosive rock anthem," says vocalist Danny Murillo recounting the new track, and affirming the group's ability to create arena-sized hits that blend a variety of genres into the recognizable HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD sound. He continues, "Humans can find pleasure in trying to hurt you. When you take away that satisfaction and become immune to it, it's empowering."
Since the release of HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD's RIAA-platinum-certified 2008 debut album, "Swan Songs", their distinctive and infectious music has incited a cult audience of millions of fans, resulting in sold out shows across the globe and huge festival appearances at Reading and Leeds, Rock Am Ring, Rock On The Range, and more. The band has shared the stage with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, KORN, STONE SOUR and CYPRESS HILL, in addition to receiving nods in the press from the likes of Consequence Of Sound, Billboard, Alternative Press, Rolling Stone and Revolver. The quintet has also garnered massive mainstream appeal, with its 2011 sophomore record, "American Tragedy", going gold and hitting No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Their 2013 full-length, "Notes From The Underground", seized the #2 spot, and in 2018, HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD crossed one billion total global streams across its catalog.
HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD is:
Johnny 3 Tears - vocals, bass guitar
J-Dog - vocals, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, programming
Charlie Scene - vocals, guitar
Funny Man - vocals
Danny - vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass

Listen To New PRONG Song 'End Of Sanity'
 American power trio PRONG has released a new digital single for the song "End Of Sanity". The track is taken from the band's forthcoming EP, "Age Of Defiance", which will be released on November 29 via SPV/Steamhammer.
PRONG leader Tommy Victor says: "'End Of Sanity' is a thrash/hardcore/crossover number in typical PRONG style which I wrote especially for our American tour with AGNOSTIC FRONT. If you're into PRONG, you'll love this track."
"Age Of Defiance", which was produced by Chris Collier, will include two new studio songs, the title cut and "End Of Sanity", along with live recordings of three tracks: "Rude Awakening", "Cut-Rate" and "Another Worldly Device".
The EP opens with the title song, "Age Of Defiance", which Victor describes as "pretty unusual for PRONG. It's extremely powerful, with a great groove, haunting chorus, everything's fresh and contemporary." "Age Of Defiance" also features three live cuts, recorded by Victor & co. during their major headlining tour at Berlin club Huxleys Neue Welt in April 2015: "Rude Awakening" from the same-named 1996 opus, plus "Another Worldly Device" and "Cut-Rate" from the 1994 major label album release "Cleansing". A total of five songs which forge an arc between past, present and future.
Track listing:
01. Age Of Defiance
02. End Of Sanity
03. Rude Awakening (live)
04. Another Worldly Device (live)
05. Cut-Rate (live)
Victor discussed the upcoming EP in an interview with France's Loud TV. Regarding his decision to only release two new songs this time, he said: "Look, in 2013, we put out 'Carved Into Stone', in 2014 'Runing Lives', in 2015 we put out 'Songs From The Black Hole' and we did 'No Absolutes'. Then I did 'Zero Days' in 2017. And then after that, we had some live stuff we did, and then after that, I went in and I wrote a whole shitload of songs. And I was, like, 'I don't wanna put all of these out.' We put out so many records."
He continued: "I don't wanna sound negative too much, but for the most part, no one gave a fuck. You make all these records, these new records, and essentially people wanna hear 'Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck'. And I liked doing those records, but I got burnt out of these long albums. So I wrote a bunch of songs, but I'm just gonna pick two out of that and put those out. Why put out a whole another album full of material and people don't even listen to the shit — they don't listen to the whole record. So this thing may do really well. It's, like, 'Two PRONG songs. Cool. I don't wanna listen to any more than that anyhow.' And then we have a live 'Rude Awakening', 'Cut-Rate' and 'Another Worldly Device' on it. So we'll see how it works out. But it's been fun so far for me, because I haven't been overworked with it.
"Making 'Zero Days' was — that was a major project, that album," he added. "There wasn't a lot of time to make it, and it was a lot of work. I was working seven days a week, sleeping four hours, trying to come up with lyrics. I think the lyrics are great on the record, because I was figuring out what the hell was going on with the song and trying to do the lyrics and making everything so perfect. And I get a little disillusioned because nobody cares. Of all the lyrics I wrote, maybe a couple of people were, like, 'What was the topic of that? What were you saying with that? That's an interesting lyric.' I've had very few conversations about it. And it wasn't released right — the record label didn't do a great job with it — so I was very disappointed with the whole outcome of that. So now it's two songs, [three] live [tracks], and then a full-length album later."
Asked about the lyrical themes of the two new songs that will be included on the "Age Of Defiance" EP, Tommy said: "'Age Of Defiance' is [about how] people feel like they've gotta be rebels, and that's nothing new to that. You have to find a way to find your own peace and to be calm and not violent. It's really an anti-violence song. People say, 'Oh, 'Age Of Defiance', it sounds like it's a rebel, a revolution song,' but it's just the opposite — it's sort of, like, 'I don't even care. I wanna be happy myself.' And 'The End Of Sanity' is the other one. It's kind of self-explanatory. I just feel like the world is going crazy. The shit that people say and the whole thing doesn't make any sense anymore to me.
"I watch the news and everything," he explained. "You have better news in Europe. But you don't get a big, broad picture of America neither. You get CNN, and that's one view of everything. But in America, there's one view and then there's another view and the other thing, and they're all just advertisements for each side. It's bullshit. It's not news. So you don't really get any news anymore. They're TV shows." | 0 | |

New CARCASS Song, 'Under The Scalpel Blade', Coming Next Month
 British extreme metal pioneers CARCASS will release a new song, "Under The Scalpel Blade", to deluxe Decibel subscribers. To get the track, you will need an active deluxe Decibel subscription by Monday, November 4 at 12 p.m. EST.
"Under The Scalpel Blade" is taken from CARCASS's upcoming seventh studio album, which is due out in 2020 on Nuclear Blast. The disc will be the follow-up to CARCASS's acclaimed comeback album, "Surgical Steel", which arrived in 2013.
CARCASS will perform "Under The Scalpel Blade" live when it headlines the closing night of this year's Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles at the Observatory. Tickets for the fest on December 13-14 — also featuring performances from POSSESSED, NAILS, VIO-LENCE, GATECREEPER, SCHAMMASCH, EVOKEN, INTRONAUT, XIBALBA, SPIRIT ADRIFT and more — are still available.
CARCASS guitarist Bill Steer told the WSOU radio station back in April 2018 that he and his bandmates demoed "close to 50 minutes' worth" of new music in late 2017. He added: "We're not gonna stop; we're gonna keep on writing so that we've got quite a lot of material and we can pick the best stuff for the album."
Steer also talked about the departure of second guitarist Ben Ash and addition of Tom Draper (POUNDER, ex-ANGEL WITCH, PRIMITAI). He said: "Well, I guess going back to what I was saying about five years of touring off one album, I think it's taken a toll on every one of us in one way or another. Ben was brought into the band as a live guitar player. We'd finished the album, we were booking shows and we needed to get out there with a second guitar player. This feels like an eternity ago, but we did have a Swedish friend of Jeff's [Walker, bass/vocals] who was in the frame, and then very near… it was quite near the knuckle for us, he kind of pulled out and said, 'Look, I can't do this for various reasons.' So then this frantic search began, and Ben came into the picture. And then we were off. And a lot of touring and a lot of travel [followed]. But, yeah, I gather he's quite keen to get back to some of the stuff he was doing beforehand, which is a lot of teaching, pretty much. And [Tom], our [new] second guitarist, he's a guy I've known for years. He would have been in the frame immediately [after 'Surgical Steel' was recorded], but as time would have it, it didn't work out, 'cause he'd moved with his wife to the U.S.A. It's early days, but [Tom's] been fantastic. He's taking it very seriously. He's been so methodical with how he's learned everything, and he's very self-critical. So, yeah, he's a cool guy to have around."
Draper, who is from the United Kingdom but currently resides in California, made his live debut with CARCASS in March 2018 at the Netherlands Deathfest at 013 in Tilburg.
"Surgical Steel" sold around 8,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 41 on The Billboard 200 chart. | +20 | |

GUNS N' ROSES Performs Deep Cut 'Dead Horse' Live For First Time In 26 Years (Video)
 GUNS N' ROSES performed the song "Dead Horse" live for the first time since 1993 during last night's (Wednesday, October 23) concert at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The track originally appeared on GN'R's "Use Your Illusion I" album in 1991 and was last played at the final show of the "Use Your Illusion" tour in Argentina 26 years ago.
GUNS N' ROSES' current trek runs through November 2. This leg of the tour will close out with two shows at the The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
"Not in This Lifetime" launched more than three years ago and will continue through the U.S. and play major shows in Mexico including Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara and Estadio Caliente in Tijuana in late October.
In addition, the band is hitting up several festivals, including Austin City Limits, Louder Than Life, Exit 111 and Voodoo.
"Not In This Lifetime" is now believed to be the second-highest-grossing tour of all time, having generated more than $500 million since it began in April 2016.
Since the end of the 2018 leg of the tour, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan both returned to solo endeavors.
The "Not In This Lifetime" tour features classic-lineup members Slash, McKagan and singer Axl Rose backed by guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and second keyboardist Melissa Reese.

DRESS THE DEAD Reveals New Video for Emotionally-Charged Single "You Only Get Off When I Cry"
 Bay Area-based metal band Dress The Dead has revealed a new video for the cathartic song, "You Only Get Off When I Cry".
"This song hits home particularly hard for me," says vocalist Kayla Dixon. "When writing the lyrics for 'You Only Get Off When I Cry', it seemed more as if another part of me had completely taken over the process. That part of me said, 'I'm in control now,' and I had no other choice but to flow with what it was trying to tell me."
The 23-year-old vocalist is the newest addition to Dress The Dead, which was originally formed by former Forbidden and Spiral Arms guitarist Craig Locicero in 2017 along with The Haunted vocalist Peter Dolving. After Dolving's departure and the ensuing struggle to find a suitable replacement, the young vocalist, who also fronts the band Witch Mountain, reached out to Locicero and recorded sample vocals for the song "1969". From that point forward, Dress The Dead's lineup was complete.
Also featuring guitarist Mikey Rowan (Insolence), bassist James Walker (Manmade God) and drummer Mark Hernandez (Forbidden), the collective pedigree of Dress The Dead lends itself to a sound that is anthemic and soulful, as well as accessible.
The video for "You Only Get Off When I Cry" was directed by Mike Sloat and the track was produced by Machine Head's Robb Flynn, who says, "'You Only Get Off When I Cry' blew me away the first time I heard it. The groove was so hard. Kayla dug down deep to come up with lyrics about a disturbing subject matter, and delivered it with a vocal performance that was quite frankly jaw dropping!"
Kayla Dixon adds, "When we entered the studio with Robb Flynn to record this one, the song was completely different and the lyrics were vague at best. Robb really inspired me to bring specificity to my suffering. So, I sat down and let the darkness consume me. This song is one last purge of all the negativity I've encountered in my life from childhood and through my adult life. We chose to release this song with the highest hopes that it reaches someone who needs to hear its message. If you are experiencing domestic violence, please call the national domestic violence hotline at 1-800-799-7233."
In live news, Dress The Dead will perform at The Ivy Room in Albany, CA on October 26th.

Ex-FLYLEAF Vocalist LACEY STURM Confirms She Is Talking To BREAKING BENJAMIN's BENJAMIN BURNLEY About Starting New Band
 Former FLYLEAF vocalist Lacey Sturm recently spoke with Brandon Woolum of CCM Magazine. The full conversation can be seen below. A few excerpts follow (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On filling in for SKILLET drummer/vocalist Jen Ledger during the band's recent tour with BREAKING BENJAMIN:
Lacey: "It was weird. I have a 14-month-old baby, and I haven't really been touring since I had him. The guys in SKILLET, me and Korey [Cooper] have written a lot together. We've toured a couple times. We're really good friends behind the scenes. I think they're really cool people, and we have a lot in common that not a lot of people do, like touring with children and being Christians in the mainstream and playing heavy rock festivals. Jen started her band LEDGER and booked some dates, and there came this opportunity to tour with BREAKING BENJAMIN for SKILLET. Jen was, like, 'I would never think they would do those dates without me, but if anybody's going to do it, I'm so happy it's you.' I'm just so thankful that I get to be a part of what they're doing. I love SKILLET as people. I love their music. My kids listen to their music all the time in the house. They're huge SKILLET fans. They don't even think I'm that cool, but when they found out I was playing with John 'Doggy' [Cooper], they're like, 'What?' They became fans of me after that. [Laughs]"
On her ongoing devotional series:
Lacey: "It was burning in my soul to address some things that are so simple about what it means to walk out your Christian life. So many people would tell me the story of how when they were at a show or a concert, something came over them without me talking directly and giving an altar call or anything like that. They would just say, 'Something came over me, and I just knew there was a God and I knew I needed to give my life to Jesus.' That's exactly what we prayed for before the show – people that don't know which way is up or that feel that lost sense and that are anxious or struggling with depression or suicide, things that I walked through, that they would have an encounter with God like I had an encounter with God... As I see these people and see them online and wrote 'The Reason' and a couple books about stuff, I just remember thinking, 'There's a lot of stuff out there about how much God loves us, but there's not a lot out there about what does it mean [and] to look like to love God back.' For the audience that we have, they need to know that God loves them, but they also need to know that there's actually a response that happens that can change your life. The thing that got through me depression even after I became a Christian, and suicidal moments even after I became a Christian, was learning how to read the Bible every day, in the morning and at night. It changed my life. I was hungry for it, because I was such a smart-aleck atheist before... I was like, 'How can I show people that this will change your life?' I thought, 'We'll make a devotional that's a video,' so you can just push play, and then they can have the Bible word for word — somebody looking you in the eye and saying it to you. We look in the camera and say it like somebody's telling you a story, or like somebody's talking to you. That was really important to me, because I seem to remember things better when somebody's looking me in the eye... It's less about me and what I have to say. It's more about you learning how to have a time with God every day, and how that changes your life."
On the challenges of playing to audiences featuring a mix of believers and secular fans:
Lacey: "I just remember who I am. I guess I try to just be myself. I have this philosophy when I look at anyone, anywhere in their life journey and I ask God to help me see them the way He sees them. A lot of times, I think when you ask for that, you start to see something more than even what the person sees in themselves. Just talking to them as if they're that person makes you free to not have to try to tiptoe around anything. You just get to be free to be yourself and free to honor them for God sees them as — this person for whom Christ died. To be able to just come with honor and connection over the things we struggle with, that's just fascinating – looking at them as fascinating works of God's art. It makes it easy."
On her future plans:
Lacey: "There's definitely things we're thinking about, like a new album. There's been talk about starting a band with the singer from BREAKING BENJAMIN, Ben Burnley. That's exciting... I saw Ben and his wife on the road, and we had a conversation. I actually showed him 'Reflect Love Back', the soundtrack, the acoustic album, and he loved it. Then he talked with me about singing on his acoustic album, which just came out — singing on 'Dear Agony', which I think is one of their best songs... when I listened to the lyrics, I just was like, 'This is Jesus in the Garden,' and I just started crying. That's how I knew I should do it. When I was in the studio with Ben, I was like, 'Let me tell you about your song.' He goes, 'Are you going to preach to me?' I'm like, 'Do you want me to preach to you?' He's, like, 'Yeah.' I'm like, 'No, I'm not going to preach to you. You preached to me. Let me show you the lyrics in your song,' and I went through the lyrics and showed him what it said to me. He goes, 'How'd you turn my rock song into a Jesus song?'"
Sturm left FLYLEAF — a group with which she recorded three albums — in 2012. Since then, she has released two solo albums — 2016's "Life Screams" and this year's "Reflect Love Back: Soundtrack Vol. 1" (written and recorded by Lacey and Josh Sturm as a soundtrack for a 12-week video series, "Reflect Love Back") — and authored three books.

Exclusive: TYGERS OF PAN TANG Premiere “Damn You” Video
 Tygers Of Pan Tang will release their new album, Ritual, on November 22 via Mighty Music. "Damn You" is the second single from Ritual and BraveWords is premiering the new lyric video for the single.
A few quotes from the band:
Jack Meile / vocals: "Sometimes what sounds like a straight forward, hard rocking, headbanging song is not that easy to write. Robb had been working with Gav on this song for a while but only when we started jamming it, it finally became what you hear. My favorite part is the bridge, with that '80s vibe and Robb solo on this one is a Killer!"
Robb Weir / guitars & founding member: "Classic hard rock, no messing... big guitar riff, juggernaut rhythm section and foot on the monitor, broadcast vocals. You'd be hard pushed to find a bigger anthem this year. Pass me a cigar, I feel a moment coming on..."
Gav Gray / bass: "...No Tygers album would be complete without a classic slab of old school heavy metal. That's ‘Damn You’! Timeless Riff-o-Matic guitars slayed over a stampede of rhythm and straight ahead vocal made for the headbangers out there... This track really is bulletproof."
Fans can preorder the Ritual album on vinyl, limited edition red vinyl (500 copies worldwide), CD and t-shirt bundles here.
The album was engineed & recorded by Fred Purser, mixed by Soren Andersen, and mastered by Harry Hess. Artwork by Roberto Toderico.
