  • Fire From The Gods Cancel Three Shows Due To Extreme Weather

    Fire From The Gods have cancelled their shows in Haltom City, TX, Oklahoma City, OK, and Tulsa, OK. The concerts were scrapped due to extreme weather.

    The group commented:

    “Update for Haltom City, OKC and Tulsa Only.

    Out of an abundance of caution and desire to keep all of our fans and artists safe, the Promoter and tour have decided to cancel the shows in Haltom City, Oklahoma City and Tulsa due to the extreme winter weather. We were hoping to reschedule but the bands already have a full calendar for the year so at this time it is just not possible. Any online sales will be refunded automatically. We are sorry for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding. Stay safe and warm!

    Much love,

    FFTG”

  • Terminal Sleep’s Todd Tombleson To Undergo Spinal Surgery, Band Cancel Immediate Live Shows

    Terminal Sleep drummer Todd Tombleson will soon be undergoing spinal surgery. As a result, the band’s Immediate shows have been cancelled.

    The group commented:

    “UPDATE ON UPCOMING SHOWS

    We are very sad to share that we will not be appearing at Froth and Fury or Life’s A Beach over this coming month. Our drummer Todd has a long-term spinal injury that has deteriorated significantly recently and he requires surgery.

    As a band we believe in prioritising health and wellbeing, and with some time we will be back at full strength.

    We appreciate your understanding and look forward to playing again (with new music…)

    SWIPE TO SEE THE MRI OF TODD’S CURSED BACK”

  • Exodus Premiere “3111” Video

    Exodus have premiered a new video for their song “3111.” The clip was released through X/Twitter after being banned from YouTube due to graphic violence. The track is from the band’s new album, “Goliath,” which will be available on March 20. The group had the following to say about the single:

    “We decided to go hard with the leadoff single, ‘3111‘. The song is about the narco killings in Juarez, and ‘3111’ is the estimated number of murders for 2010 alone.”

  • Opeth Premiere “§7” Video

    Opeth have premiered a new video for their song “§7.” That track is from the band’s latest album “The Last Will And Testament.”

    Vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt commented:

    “That track was scary to play live at first. Most of our songs are challenging, I suppose, and this one is no exception. I believe we all love playing this one. There are a myriad of details that could go wrong though, but it’s fun. It keeps you on your toes. And of course, then there’s Ian Anderson‘s narrations, which is the only thing in our set that isn’t ‘live’.

    Since we don’t play to a click track, it’s dragging or pushing depending on the tempo of the evening. Again, it’s fun and I love the unforeseeable character of this song in a live setting. That’s a bit odd since I normally want to feel completely secure and really know what I’m doing. I generally don’t like surprises on stage.”

  • Leaves’ Eyes Premiere “Song Of Darkness” Video

    Leaves’ Eyes have shared an official video for the title track of their new EP “Song Of Darkness.” That effort will be released on March 6.

    Vocalist Elina Siirala commented:

    “‘Song Of Darkness’ is like a play with contrasts: it combines the mysterious and dark with light and angelic. In the midst of a dark story, there’s a feeling of hopefulness! The opposing elements create once again a perfect canvas and drama for a Leaves’ Eyes song!”

    Keyboardist/vocalist Alexander Krull added:

    “Our ‘Song Of Darkness’ transports you to a world of dark dreams and inner turmoil, where mystical spirits from ancient times guide your destiny. A tragic love story, but no happy ending.”

  • Def Leppard Premiere New Song “Rejoice”

    Def Leppard have premiered a new song titled “Rejoice.” You can check that out below:

    Singer Joe Elliott commented:

    “This song’s been an amazing journey from concept to conclusion. I said to Phil [Collen] one day, ‘I’ve got this idea for a lyric where the narrator is at absolute rock bottom and wants to rise up to a higher level. Do you have a musical piece that might match with that?’ And he said, ‘As it happens, yes I do.’”

    Guitarist Phil Collen added:

    “I had this riff, this idea for a song a while ago actually, so when Joe came to me I created this drum loop based with a tribal sound and it fit perfectly with this other arrangement I had. I sent it to Joe and it was like magic — he sang straight over the top of it. And that’s how the song was formed. Then we gave it to Ronan [McHugh] who’d done a proper drum loop with different sounds. It all started gelling and just sounded like a powerful chant. We love it. It’s hard rock for us. It’s got a bit more of an ‘oomph’ than stuff we’ve been doing for a while. It’s kind of magical.”
