The Atlantian prog metalists of Mastodon are growing ever closer to releasing their latest LP, under the fine production skills of Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine). , which now finally has a title: ‘Crack The Skye.’ I still haven’t had the chance to track down the etymology of the name, but what I know for sure is that it’s gonna be another concept album, this time, however, while the previous three…
After his recent, tumultuous ride with Velvet Revolver ended (for him, of course), Scott Weiland’s future became highly uncertain. He then eventually, and a bit surprisingly to be honest, got his old band, Stone Templer Pilots, back together and toured extensively, with a new album in the making being on the horizon, too. But for a man who’s ego’s hardly overthrown, not even by his own shadow, going solo is the best solution. “Happy In…

Last year’s “Alone,” by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, was pretty awesome, of course, in a geekish, fun way. You know, it’s Weezer, more or less. Anyway, I was pretty much exited when I heard I will get the chance to hear some new, unreleased materials from Rivers this year, as he’ll be releasing a new solo compilation record in the form of “Alone II.” I’ve always loved compilations of unreleased tracks, B-sides or various band…
It’s official, folks! No bullshiting any more from behalf of Mr. Axl. He’s lived up to his word and delivered, “Chinese Democracy,” Guns ‘N’ Roses’ first single in almost ten years, to the airwaves and interwebs yesterday, on October 22. How’s the song you ask? It’s OK. For a single that’s been expected with high anticipation by million of fans all over the world, it’s a bit disappointing. For those of you who’ve downloaded the…
In April, of this year, the modern progressive band, Muse, played an one off performance of one of their most rarest tracks, “Fury.” The song was played live in front of a very intimate crowd, at London’s Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. I’m a pretty big Muse fan, but, to be honest, this is really the first time I’ve heard the song. I’ve heard of it, yeah. I knew it…
This goes to show that Feist can also release more deep and artistic videos, as she just did with the Anthony Seck directed music video for “Honey Honey.” It’s far from sophisticated work art, but it’s damn well no iPod commercial. The melancholic, weary vibe of the song suits the video’s dreamy atmosphere perfectly, making time fly by in heart beat. To end this little post with a somewhat sad note, Feist just announced she’ll…
I didn’t want to believe it when I first heard “Chinese Democracy” was gonna finally go live sometime this year, but it seems more and more veridic that the fact is, indeed, happening! The 14 years album in the making by what’s left of the Guns N’ Roses, just a shadow of its former, glorious self, is, as previously reported a while back, going to officially hit BestBuy stores (where the album will be released…
Lost is definitely my favorite song off “Viva la Vida,” Coldplay’s latest record, released at the beginning of the summer. It’s somewhat dark vibe, amplified by the beautiful dark church-like organ, makes it beautifully haunting and melodic. “Lost+” is one of the four tracks featured on the Lost single out on November 10 (the other songs are “Lost-” and “Lost@,” and instrumental and a live version, respectively). The song is basically a remix of the…
The Las Vegas native pop/rock quartet’s latest album, Day & Night, is fastly approaching its highly anticipated release date of November 25th. The video for the album’s first single, “Human”, just got out yesterday and can be viewed right bellow. I’ve already told my opinion about the song, in a previous installment, here, so I’m not gonna repeat myself with a review. As for the video itself, there’s not much to tell either. It basically…
