The EP is going to feature performances from Finland, Germany, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Czech Republic ( a lot). The album is going yo be mixed and mastered and whatever they do to their music in the studio, at the Manowar’s studio, Hell and Haus Wahnfried by Joey DeMaio (I love this guy, even if his old).

Below is a list with the featured tracks:

01. El Gringo 
02. Expendable 
03 Hail, Kill And Die 
04. Manowarriors 
05. The Lord Of Steel 
06. Thunder In The Sky

And great news evreyone, Joey also said that:

We are proud to be able to give our fans multiple choices: We have released a limited edition of the album in collaboration with Metal Hammer U.K., with its own artwork and special mixes as a first look at what is to come. For those who prefer digital content and wish this limited version, they have the option of getting it as download album.

The worldwide retail release [is] available with different versions of the songs and a totally different mix and master as CD and limited vinyl, both with spectacular new art by Ken Kelly. And, of course, this version [is] available as digital album as well. The fans can decide which options and configurations they prefer.

And what I like about the band is this thing, that Joey also said:

MANOWAR are a unit. Every band member brings in a unique contribution, so it was only logical for us to start over and include Donnie from the beginning of the creative process.

Some people will say its a shame to abandon something you have invested a lot of time and energy in, but that’s the way we work. It has to feel right for all of us.

The live EP is going to be release live in August this year, also the The Lords Of Steel (the non-live version) is already available on iTunes.

The Indie-Math Rock from England, officially announced on their official webpage that they released a new video for the song Bad Habit (you can watch it at the bottom of the page). I wanted to say that is NSFW, but it’s not just like that, because in the video only appears a naked lady that runs in the desert (nothing sexual about it, just nudity and art). The video has to many special effects for my taste but I can understand the whole idea, besides, the song is very cute.

The band’s song, Mad Songs, is one of the tracks from their upcoming album, and they played it at two of some Scandinavian festivals in this weekend, Hultsfred Festival in Sweden and Danish NorthSIde Festival. The quality of the video is not very good, because it was recorded by a fan, but if you are an Arctic Monkeys fan, I bet that this fact doesn’t really matter.
Alex, the band’s frontman, introduced the song by saying:

break things down, just a bit,

and also added:

keep warm by cuddling or something like that

I don’t know about you guys but I’d like to cuddle with Alex, or something like that.(joke) If you ask me, the song is not such a big deal, but maybe you’ll understand it better.

These guys are on tour, so if you want to listen to them live, go to their official page and see if they are coming in your town, maybe you’ll want to listen to this song the HD way, live.
So, what do you guys think about the song?

 

Black Star Riders came out with a new video for ‘Hey Judas’ a song featured on the band’s debut album “All Hell Breaks Loose,” which was released last week by the most dedicated metal label – Nuclear Blast.

But there’s more good news to come for people who like Black Star Riders – frontman Ricky Warwick says they’re in for the long haul, and they’re currently planning more studio releases, tours, videos – the whole 9 yards.

For those asking – what the f%*$ is going on here, who’s Black Star Riders? Well, they’re Thin Lizzy… except they’re not Thin Lizzy. The guys from the band recorded some new material and all, but they decided they just didn’t want to go along and release it under that name. While Thin Lizzy will continue on an occasional basis, Black Star Riders will be a full-time band, described as “the next step in the evolution of the Thin Lizzy story”.

“Kevin Shirley captured an energy and attitude that does not sound like anyone else. Yes, we have a connection to Thin Lizzy – but I do think we have a unique sound, which I really love and I don’t see the point of changing that. I like to think we’ll keep recording the best songs we can, keep the sound that we have and try to develop it even more.”

What do you say? Do you like this style more, or is it just a step down from their classic stuff?

The biggest news of the year, by far, is the Black Sabbath reunion; the metal giants, back in the studio after more than three decades, and coming out with a ‘satanic blues‘ kick ass metal album can’t really be topped – bar somebody coming out of their grave.

After revealing their album artwork and streaming the entire album “13” on iTunes, now it’s time for the first video. The song was featured in “CSI” Season 3 finale – which some bandmembers are fans of.

“I’ve watched every episode since it started,” enthused Sabbath bassist and “CSI” fan Geezer Butler in a behind-the-scenes clip. “‘Cause I like crime stuff, and it was realistic.”

So, not much more to say, here you have it – over 8 minutes of embedded epic video oldschool metal badassness. Enjoy!
