    Corgan commented:

    “The success of translating ‘Mellon Collie‘ into operatic and classical form has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. Where on each of the 7 sold out nights in Chicago we’d finish within the raucous wave of a standing ovation. So to now take it on the road, and to Europe, too says this magical dream doesn’t have to end.”

  • Yngwie Malmsteen Plans To Release New Album “Hell Or High Water” In November

    During a recent interview with The Metal Voice, Yngwie Malmsteen offered an update on his new album “Hell Or High Water.” According to him, the effort will arrive in November.

    Malmsteen said the following:

    “It’s done. It’s in the can.”

    He continued when asked if it’s instrumental:

    “No. No. No. It’s four songs I sing on it. I’m really happy with it. [it’s gonna get] a November release.”

    He went on to discuss the musical direction:

    “I would say it’s very Malmsteen-esque. It sounds like Yngwie Malmsteen… You will definitely hear the similarities. I would say some of the instrumental stuff is really, really nuts. But there’s some cool metal — I’d say, like, not metal, but whatever you wanna call it now.”

    He also shared more details:

    “The album’s called ‘Hell Or High Water’. And I made it specifically to fit on the vinyl record. Nine [songs], [with] one bonus track, but it’s 46 minutes [long]… I deliberately [made it] like that. I had a lot more ideas, a lot more songs, but I made it so it’s exactly that.”

    He added:

    “This album I just made now — most of my albums, I would say — you couldn’t just take one song and it’d be representative of the record. They all complement each other. They all have their own thing. ‘Oh, that’s what the album sounds like.’ No, because the next song doesn’t sound like that. You have to hear it as an album. It’s made as an album, like a movie. ‘Oh, yeah, look at that scene. Yeah, three minutes.’ No, that’s not enough. You have to see the whole movie. You read the whole book. And I made it that the sequence of the songs and everything, they’re following —I think about tempos and key signatures and stuff like this. And I’m really happy with it.”

    He also confirmed that it’s not a concept album:

    “No, I wouldn’t call it that. I mean, if you wanted to, you could analyze it any way you like. You can go, ‘Yeah, it’s a concept album,’ but it’s not meant to be. But it could be, I guess.”

  • Imminence Sign With Sumerian Records, Premiere “The Sword That Never Bends” Music Video

    Imminence have signed a new deal with Sumerian Records. With this news, the band have also shared a new video for their new single “The Sword That Never Bends.” You can check that out below:

    The group commented:

    “We all knew from the start — this was a single. Everyone who heard it felt the same. ‘The Sword That Never Bends’ came alive in a way that immediately defined both the sound and the themes of where Imminence is headed next. It introduces a new dimension to our identity and carries a relentless energy that pulls you out from the shadows of ‘The Black.’

    The writing process can best be summed up in one word: flow. Everything began in our home studio, where each piece fell into place almost effortlessly. It felt unmistakably like Imminence, yet shaped into something new — exactly the kind of song we’ve been striving to create for years.”

    Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen added:

    “Imminence is a band that has such presence, depth and world building to their music that I was instantly captivated when I first heard them. They are prolific story tellers of emotions. I have been pursuing them for years and am deeply honored they have chosen Sumerian for this next era of their career.”

  • Allegaeon Premiere “Dark Matter Dynamics” Video

    Allegaeon have premiered a new video for their song “Dark Matter Dynamics.” You can check that out below. The track, which features Adrian Bellue, is from the band’s latest album “The Ossuary Lens.”

    Guitarist Greg Burgess commented:

    “‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ is a very special song for me. Having the opportunity to explore my love for steel string acoustic music, and bringing it into the fold with Allegaeon, will forever be a source of pride. Not only that but exploring this marriage of two styles with an acoustic heavy weight Adrian Bellue was equally special.”

    Vocalist Ezra Haynes added:

    “‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ is here and I am pumped! Over recent years, we’ve grown close with our good buddy, Adrian Bellue, and I’m thankful Greg introduced us! He rips on the guitar and he’s an even better friend. We’re especially excited to play ‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ Saturday night at Flatline Fest in Denver with Adrian himself!

    The chorus gets me hyped! I think it’s the most jump-worthy Allegaeon riff ever written! This song has that classic, science-based Allegaeon vibe and theme, and it sonically showcases the album’s range, letting the track breathe with a soulful, atmospheric instrumental piece that contrasts perfectly with the heavy riffs surrounding it. Please enjoy ‘Dark Matter Dynamics.’”
