  • Cancer Bats Premiere “Stay Stuck” Video

    Cancer Bats have premiered a new video for their new song “Stay Stuck.” That track will appear on the band’s new album, “Give Me Dirt,” which is set to be released on August 7.

    Vocalist Liam Cormier commented on the single:

    “‘Stay Stuck‘ was such a fun song for us to write. It was one of the first songs that we finished while working on the new record and we really all felt like we had tapped into the classic Cancer Bats bouncy fun element we’ve had in songs since the beginning. The lyrics explore the idea that, at any age or moment in life, we all reach a point where we realize something has to change.

    Maybe it’s the path we’re on, or just the way we see things, but there’s that instant where we say to ourselves, I’M NOT WASTING ANY MORE TIME! We’re all moving towards something bigger, chasing goals and dreams that the world can’t take away from us. That’s what keeps us going.”

    He also added the following about the video:

    “The idea is that we were always having fun and staying positive in those jobs thinking of the future that we knew was coming for us. I think lots of times those jobs can feel like a grind and we wanted to look more at the fun times and how it’s really just that stepping stone to really living your dreams. Cancer Bats as a band also just really like an excuse to make fun and funny music videos so that was our whole thinking for the concept. A great cinematic vehicle for us to all have a really good time.”

  • Jason Newsted: “The Reason I Left Metallica Is Because I Was A Horrible Addict”

    During an appearance on Dean Delray‘s “Let There Be Talk” podcast, Jason Newsted opened up about his 2001 departure from Metallica. The bassist says he left the group due to addiction issues.

    Newsted said the following about rumors claiming his exit was related to Echobrain:

    “One thing I want to straighten out, or just comment on.. the Echobrain thing. That was another project that I took to a certain level. I had had 40 projects in the Chophouse to a level of recording, composition, rehearsal, that kind of thing. This one was just more promising, and I took it to a different place. But it’s not the reason I left Metallica.

    The reason I left Metallica is because I was a horrible addict. I was way up against myself, and if I didn’t get some kind of help, I was going to die. And so I just said, ‘You guys, can I have a minute? Please give me a minute.’ And they said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘I would rather live than be in your band. I love being in your band. I think it’s kind of obvious. I wear your shirt every fucking night.’ So it’s like, you know, ‘I wear our shirt every night. I fly my colors every night. I meet every fucking person that wants to meet and represent us for all the fans every fucking night. Don’t tell me I’m not committed. Don’t tell me I’m not loyal. Don’t tell me. I’m always the first one in and last one out. I’m not saying the words. It’s fucking history.’ It’s real.

    You can’t give me that minute to get my head straight again. Then I have to go. Not that I don’t love you, and certainly not that I’m not committed to this band.”

    He also added:

    “Echobrain was a thing that I ventured into, our subject for the day, our theme for the day: Adventuring, discovering new things. Giving yourself a chance to see what’s in there. When you do a painting, step back from it and go, ‘I didn’t know that I had that in me.’ You know? That’s the best reward of all, no matter if somebody buys it or not, I don’t give a shit. It’s about, the song comes out and I’m like, ‘Dude I have that in me? Where the fuck did that come from?’ That’s the riches.

    So, if you can’t give me a minute to get myself to what I thought you appreciated me for, then [I’m gone.] But it’s not because of Echobrain. It’s just that’s the music that was happening at the time.”

  • SLIFT Premiere New Song “The Day Of Execution”

    SLIFT have premiered a new song titled “The Day Of Execution.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Fantasia,” which will be released on June 5. The group said the following about the single:

    “‘The Day Of Execution‘ is about the effect of time passing on each and every one of us, and about memory loss. It portrays the nostalgia that creeps into us as time goes by. ‘Fantasia‘ is such an ancient city that it no longer remembers itself, and this gradually alienates its inhabitants.”
