Opeth, live @ The Monarch, Austin, Texas - 16.10.08. Photo by HeadovMetal. Opeth, and their future tour mates Enslaved, have both delivered same of the best new metal material of the past year, in the form of “Watershed” and “Vertebrae“, respectively. Fans of the bands, and good metal alike, should be happy to know the two [...]

Let’s face it, rock it’s not living its best years yet; what’s more, it seems fewer and fewer bands with legendary potential are appearing with every year that passes, and if such a band appears, the odds are it splits right after they make it big. The biggest concerts are still held by the likes [...]

![Led Zeppelin carry on…without R. Plant [?]](http://www.zmemusic.com/wp-content/themes/flashnews-dev/thumb.php?src=http://www.zmemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rock-led-zeppelin.jpg&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=95)
I may piss some people off with this post, but this sounds pretty…notable, to say. We’ve written I think douzens of posts about the alleged Led reunion, speculating rumors and officials press releases alike, but we’ve still yet to see any palpable. Today, Jimmy Page’s manager confirmed that the band is set to go on tour [...]

Communism, comets, moving dead zombie meat, nostalgic old school animations and so on. You know, the usual Manchurian candidate stuff that Metallica have oh so often used it as a motif - like on their latest video for “All Nightmare Long.” Now if the song was on something like the Red Alert soundtrack, the video would’ve [...]

If there was even a single doubt in your mind, it has to be shattered NOW. AC/DC fuc*ing rocks. After everything they’ve done, after releasing just dozens of massive classic hits, they just come back and ripped everything apart with their latest release, Black Ice. My fingers are just itching to write a review for that, [...]

The latest scandal in the rock scene erupted a few days ago, after it was shamefully discovered that the latest Metallica record, Death Magnetic, released just this Friday, sounds a lot, lot better on Guitar Hero 3, then on the actual CD. That’s what mastering engineer Ian Shepherd discovered when, on a tip from a [...]

When we unveiled Metallica’s first single off the new album, “The Day That Never Comes,” a few days ago the song was met with mixt feelings both by me and you, the readers of ZME. A part of me feels the song is quite good with some awesome pre-black album metal hooks, but the other [...]

Last week, we got indulged to a new Metallica song, Cyanide, albeit the live version, during it’s first showing during the band’s Ozzfest performance. Today, we greet another song off the highly anticipated Death Magnetic, the 8 minute ballad/shredding rocker “The Day That Never Comes.” It starts really slow, in a Unforgiven kinda way, with some [...]

We’ve certainly gone overboard with anticipation for the new Metallica album, over the last few months, but ever since they announced the record’s name and we got to see them live 2 weeks ago, anticipation has slowly turned into obsession. The band’s had some difficulties with new material leakage over the internet, but it now [...]

Monday, August 4th. A day that will forever remain in my heart, and that of over 22,000 people gathered in the Cotroceni Stadium of Bucharest to hear icons Iron Maiden play. What a show, what a band, what a night… Let’s start from the beginning, though. I embarked with Andrei on a 2 hour train ride [...]
