  • Mark Tremonti On New Creed Music: “I’ve Been Working Real Hard On Trying To Put Together New Ideas”

    During a recent interview with Cutter’s Rockcast, Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti discussed the band’s plans for new music. He said the following:

    “Yeah. When we did all this touring [over the course of the last couple of years], we were so busy that there was no way for us to really put new music together. And the tour was already on sale, so to jump off tour to record an album wouldn’t have been the right move. But now that we have all the time going forward, I think promoters and agents and managers are all, like, ‘All right, you gotta have something, a driver for the next tour. You can’t just go out and do the same thing. So there’s either gotta be some incredible package you put together or new music.’ So, I’ve been working real hard on trying to put together new ideas so I can get together with Scott [Stapp, CREED singer] and start working. But, it would probably have to be the middle of next year before we start doing that.”

  • Katatonia Release Cover Of KISS’ “A World Without Heroes”

    Katatonia have released a new cover of KISS’ “A World Without Heroes.” You can check that out and Karin Park’s new remix of “Wind Of No Change” below. Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse commented:

    “A final single from the ’Nightmares…’ session, a cover of KISS’ ’A World Without Heroes’ which is one of the songs we usually listen to in the dressing room before going on stage. For us, it now also serves as a memory of Ace Frehley’s legacy. Nico’s rendition of his solo is nothing short of amazing! Also, this release includes Karin Park’s outstanding remix of ’Wind of No Change’. Enjoy, and come see us in Europe this fall/winter!”

  • Caliban Release Cover Of Suicide Silence’s “You Only Live Once”

    Caliban have released a new cover of Suicide Silence’s “You Only Live Once.” The band said the following about that:

    “‘You Only Live Once‘ has always been more than just a song to us – it’s a reminder of what connects this scene: honesty, intensity, and brotherhood. Suicide Silence and Mitch [Lucker] shaped an entire generation of heavy music and inspired countless bands. We played many shows together over the years and always had a great time — on stage and off. Mitch was one of those rare people who carried both relentless energy and genuine kindness wherever he went. Covering this track is our way of paying respect to him and to the legacy he left behind – a legacy that reminds us to live loud, without regret. For Mitch. You only live once.”
