• Type O Negative’s Johnny Kelly On Upcoming Live Album: “I’m Almost Done Editing Everything”

    During a recent interview with Loaded Radio, Type O Negative guitarist Johnny Kelly offered an update on the band’s new live album. According to him, he is “almost done editing everything, getting everything compiled together and simplified.”

    Kelly said the following:

    “I’m almost done editing everything, getting everything compiled together and simplified. And right now we’re going to give it to… Well, it looks like we’re going to give it to Mike Marciano, who was the original mixer for Type O Negative all those years. So, he’s got a studio he built in his house in Pennsylvania. We sent him ‘Love You To Death’. He mixed it. It sounded great. So, we’re gonna be moving forward with that. But I’m gonna give him all the stuff all ready to mix, you know what I mean? I can’t give him a mess. So that’s just about done anyhow. And so hopefully we’re looking at first quarter next year [for it to be released]. Because you can’t just release it when it’s done, obviously. You need three months [to set it up properly]… You gotta put in for the vinyl. We’re making the vinyl. That stuff, it takes months.”

    On another note, he also discussed the track he unearthed from the “October Rust” sessions:

    “‘Prometheus’, I think it was called. It’s something ‘Prometheus’. Yeah, I think it’s just ‘Prometheus’. I have it in my phone. I love it. And I don’t remember it at all. [Laughs] It was a long time ago. I remember some of the parts, but it’s really cool. Yeah, of course we’re gonna release it at some point, in some format, in one of whatever reissues we do.”

    He added the following when asked if the track is short or a magnum opus:

    “Mm, it’s kind of a medium opus. But it was in the works, so all of [Peter’s] stuff would start medium and then just grow. I’m sure if it ended up being on the record, it probably would’ve been a lot longer, a lot bigger.”

Please check on those around you. Big Em Up!!”

  • Alien Ant Farm Premiere “Gaslighter” Music Video

    Alien Ant Farm have premiered a new video for their latest single “Gaslighter.” That track is expected to appear on the band’s upcoming album.

    Vocalist Dryden Mitchell commented:

    “With hints of Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine, we wrote a razor-edged gem that calls out the liars and manipulators in our lives. Do the ones we love the most end up burning us all in the end? This anthem rocks steadily and races toward a hopeful resolution. Light the fuses and burn all the liars!”

    The song initially started out as a play on words, about how liars always speak in code. Native American service members who used their traditional tribal languages to send secret, unbreakable tactical messages during World War I and World War II. I found that interesting. And getting information from a lying loved one almost felt like this. Then Howard really liked ‘Gaslighter’ over ‘Code Talker’. Str8 to the point. I went back in and honed the lyric to cut to the quick and hopefully reach as many people as possible, as I’m sure everyone has dealt with a gaslighter. Telling you you’re crazy, when you know the truth.”

  • Battlesnake Premiere New Song “Bog Bringer”

    “For two thousand long years, The Bog Bringer remained in exile within The Lake of Mud, waiting restless for his holy task. Only God himself had the power to raise him from the swamp, for he is Jehovah’s ghastly servant.

    A foul unnatural procedure was used to resurrect The Bog Bringer. God and God alone, knows the secrets to this process. Once the blood moon eclipses on the twelfth hour, the summoning commenced and The Lord of Swamp rose from his mud dwelling.

    Upon his revival, God revealed his task for The Bog Bringer: To lead the APOCALYPSE OF PLANET EARTH. Bog Bringer is Horseman number four. He was gifted The Pale Steed and sent to deliver judgment to the sinners of the world, to kill with sword, famine, death, and beast.”
