Anathema – new album update
Andrei Mihai
Anathema pleased us all again when they announced that they have finished the “Hindsight” album – it’s already been sent to the record company by the masters. As you may (and should have) heard, “Hindsight” is a semi acoustic album of classic Anathema tracks, and includes one new song. They made this public (or at least I read it) at metalstorm.ee. Also, their new album, “Horizons”, is well underway. What surprised me was that they…
Apocalyptica: ‘I Don’t Care’ Video Posted Online
The Finnish quartet has delighted us once again with another great video: “I Don’t Care”. This time, they worked with Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier, which also appears in the clip. The video can be watched here. But if you think this is the only thing they’ve been up to, you’re really wrong. They enlisted the help of Fuel frontman Toryn Green to handle the lead vocals for their North American tour, which began…
Red Hot Chilli Peppers are “disbanded”
Whoa there just for a minute; they didn’t break up or anything, they just decided to take a well deserved break, of at least a year. With the situation being as it is, Anthony Kiedis has taken on a new role as festival curator for Pittsburgh’s New American Music Festival August 8 – 9.

Tom Waits to play THE Devil in upcoming Terry Gilliam flick
There’s no doubt about it, Tom Waits is a very cool cat. Few people are as slick and sharp as Mr. Waits, a man who’s virtually portraits the perfect entertainer role, but when you can successfully entertain yourself you reach a whole other level, and seeing how Tom Waits is the depiction of coolness there’s no doubt about we’ll be in for some fun. What I’m talking about is the latest interview that had Tom…
Download: Death Cab For Cutie – ‘I Will Possess Your Heart’
I’ve been really digging Death Cab For Cutie’s latest studio effort, Narrow Stairs, a very diverse record, with a lot of sound layers and a somewhat, new musical direction, as the band treads deeper into darker territory, a lot darker then anything DCFC has put out. All the songs are pretty awesome, with a personal emphasis for their first single, off the record, the stalker-like anthem, 8 minute long epic “I Will Possess Your Heart.”…
