  • Avoid Premiere New Song “Sour Apple”

    Avoid have premiered a new song titled “Sour Apple.” This track is from the band’s new EP, “Creature Of Habit,” which will be released on November 14. Vocalist Benny Scholl said the following about the single:

    “We’re so stoked to release our new track ‘Sour Apple.’ What’s funny is this name initially came up just as a demo name. ’cause there was a Sour Apple-flavored vape in the room. We worked out the instrumentals, and then when we finished the vocals and the lyrics, we were trying to come up with what the song will be called. The song is about reflecting on the past and letting go, but also being able to be upset when things haven’t always gone your way. In a way, kind of being a ‘Sour Apple’ about things sometimes and we realized that the name ended up representing the song perfectly.”

  • The Undertaking! Premiere New Song “All Smiles”

    The Undertaking! have premiered a new song titled “All Smiles.” This track will appear on the band’s upcoming EP “Only Left Alive To See The End.” The group commented:

    “Imagine Jerad Leto in ‘Fight Club’ giving the biggest grin possible despite a mouth full of blood and a couple missing teeth (the less we talk about Leto the better, okay? just got with the imagery). That’s the vibe of ‘All Smiles’ the new single by The Undertaking! Ripping from start to finish, the song ends with this admission: ‘Had a bad habit of eating teeth.’ At some point in life, we’ve all been punched in the mouth, literally or figuratively, and ‘All Smiles’ reckons with the idea that despite our best intentions, sometimes it’s best to just smile and go on with your day.”

  • Max Cavalera Says The Tapes For Soulfly’s First Album Were Buried To Give Them “Indigenous Power”

    During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Soulfly’s Max Cavalera explained why the band’s first album features a photo of Chino Moreno (Deftones) holding a pickaxe. As it turns out, the picture was related to a decision to bury the tapes for the record to give them “indigenous power.”

    Cavalera said the following:

    “We buried [the recordings] in Indigo Ranch. We knew there was a burial ground there — like, [an] Indian burial ground [from] 300 years ago. So, I wanted to capture the essence of the land, of the Indigenous power. So, me [and] Chino from the Deftones, we dig big holes, we put the tapes there. We closed it, let it spend the night. The next day, dug them up. It was cool. It was kind of crazy, but fun at the same time.

    “That’s why in the album, there’s a picture of Chino with a shovel, and the shovel is from when we were digging the holes — that’s why he has a shovel. People are like, ‘Why is he holding a shovel in a picture?’ That’s why. Because we’re digging holes in Indigo Ranch, in the Malibu hills.”

    He went on to say that he thought it would “help the record somehow.” He also added:

    “There’s not really an explanation for it. Just fun and the madness of metal.”

  • Conjurer Premiere “All Apart” Video

    Conjurer have premiered a new video for their new song “All Apart.” This track is from the band’s newly released album “Unself.” Guitarist/vocalist Dani Nightingale commented:

    “I approached this song with the idea in mind of the first bricks that make up the metaphorical wall someone might put (or find) between them and their surroundings, the world they inhabit, both physical and metaphysical. For many people in a similar or comparable position to mine, those initial instances of disassociation and alienation begin at school, when one is first integrated into a social and educational environment with their peers and those who watch over them. I can’t describe what it’s like to be vilified for behaviours and traits that are just normal and natural to you, but because no-one understands you – not even yourself – you’re forced to adhere to things you don’t understand and become something you’re not.”

  • Slash On The Possibility Of Guns N’ Roses Performing At The Las Vegas Sphere: “I’m Real Trepidatious About Playing There”

    During a recent appearance on “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash was asked about the possibility of a Sphere residency in Las Vegas, NV. However, the musician says he is “trepidatious about playing there.”

    Slash said the following:

    “I haven’t been [to the Sphere] yet, but just everything that I’ve seen, or most everything that I’ve seen of it, looks amazing. I’m real trepidatious about playing there, because… It’s a great visual show. I think that in almost every case for a band, it becomes a visual show as opposed to seeing a rock and roll show. So there’s that. And also, from talking to Joe Walsh about it, ’cause obviously The Eagles have been doing a residency there since forever, is that it’s not really sort of rock and roll friendly, the way that it’s set up. So it’s just one of those things where it seems like a really cool thing, and conceptually there’s probably a lot of cool things that you could do, but I don’t think it would be the right environment for a proper rock and roll show.”

    He also commented on the rumors of Metallica performing at the Sphere next year:

    “I’d be interested to see [the first hard rock/metal show there] too. And I heard about Metallica doing it. I could see them doing it because I can imagine them… Because you have to prepare your mind to put on not just a band performance, but 50 percent of what you’re doing is going to be the projection, or whatever you call that — the outer wall [laughs], what you’re putting on as content. And so that is something that’s gonna be the main focus of your show and the main focus of what everybody’s gonna be looking at. And so you have to sort of getting to that mindset, and I think that’s hard for us to go that far into it. But we’ll see. Maybe down the road.”
