  • Megadeth Premiere “Let There Be Shred” Music Video

    Megadeth have premiered a new video for their new song “Let There Be Shred.” This track is from the band’s self-titled farewell album, which will be released on January 23. Dave Mustaine said the following about the single:

    “When Megadeth started, we said we would be fast and furious…we said so on the flyers we handed out. This song is fast and furious. Know it! It has a very hooky chorus that draws you in and you can’t help but play air guitar and headbang to this one. It’s the second video from the new record that we made with Keith [Leman], who also directed ‘I Don’t Care’. It was a blast to make and it’s a tribute to my first Sensei, Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez and my professor, Reggie Almieda. Everyone on the set was really stoked to see each of us do our stunts. In the end, we got the balance of shredding and ass kicking just right!”

  • Axe Dragger (Fu Manchu, Ex-Pantera, Etc.) To Release Debut Album In March

    Axe Dragger, the new project featuring guitarist Bob Balch (Fu Manchu), drummer Pete Campbell (ex-Pentagram), vocalist Terry Glaze (ex-Pantera), and bassist Fredrik Isaksson (Dark Funeral), will be releasing their self-titled debut album on March 6. An official lyric video for the effort’s title track can be found below:

    Balch commented on the single:

    “‘Axe Dragger’ was the first song we wrote. When ex-Pentagram drummer Minnesota Pete Campbell reached out to me about collaborating on a metal record, those riffs came out of me moments later. The song pretty much wrote itself. I thought Terry Glaze (ex-Pantera) would sound great on it, so we sent it over to him. When we both heard the vocals and lyrics, we knew we had something special. I mean, he sings the words ‘heavy metal’ in the first verse! Haha. That song lit a fire under all of us and ended up spawning the entire record. Pete then mentioned bringing in Fredrik Isaksson from Dark Funeral on bass. Fredrik absolutely killed it on that track, and at that point the lineup was solidified. The riffs on this song were inspired by the early ’80s metal records I grew up on — Judas Priest, Riot, Maiden, Dio, etc., etc. Hope you dig it!”

    Campbell added:

    “This was the first track Bob sent me for the project. At first listen, I was like, ‘Okay… I see where this is going.’ I laid down my drum tracks and sent it back. He told me Terry was interested in doing some vocals, and I was stoked. When we got Terry’s vocals back, I knew right away we were onto something — and ten songs later, we had a whole record. Fredrik’s bass playing is ungodly, and he’s the perfect man for the job. Bob is a freakin’ riff machine — such an honor to jam with. I’m super excited for people to hear this band. Proud of the music and the guys involved. Hail metal!”

  • Amorphis Premiere “Crowned In Crimson” Music Video

    Amorphis have premiered a new video for their new song “Crowned In Crimson.” The track, which features frontman Tomi Joutsen’s daughter Iida, was recorded as the theme for a new action movie called “Son Of Revenge – The Story Of Kalevala.” That film will debut in Finland on January 16.

    Guitarist Esa Holopainen commented:

    “Director Antti Jokinen got in touch with us and briefly told us about his ambitious film project. We arranged a meeting with him, during which we were able to see visual material from the film and go through the script. Antti hoped that Amorphis would create the film’s theme song — a project we agreed to immediately.”

    Director Antti Jokinen added:

    “Amorphis’ music feels like strength wrapped in beauty — heavy enough to shake the landscape, yet poetic. Their music really lifts my spirit into the world of Kalevala myths and its characters. Exactly what I was looking for, when thinking about the theme song for my film. I’m very pleased they agreed to do it.”
