In case you weren’t aware, Metallica are preparing a 3D movie called “Metallica Through The Never”; the film has been described by one of the actors as “a concert movie meets ‘The Wall’ meets Metallica.” “It’s in a way like a 3D concert movie but there’s also this narrative that ties together all the footage,” [...]

The Halloween release date is appropriate: Here, the ‘Frisco boys are pretending to be a metal-ized Velvet Underground. Having tried everything across this record to filter “Heroin” through their ’80s thrash, their ’90s blues-based hard rock and their 2000′s attempt at a return-to-form, they clearly want to be the ’60s legends so, so badly. But [...]

The Lou Reed / Metallica album, Lulu, can be heard in full over at the album’s official site. It’s, uh, as plodding as the cover art is confusing – which is to say, quite a lot. Think Velvet Underground + Load/ReLoad and you’re pretty close. Any by Load/ReLoad, I mean the overlong, do-nothing riffs of [...]

The Tedeschi Trucks band rolled their tour into Boston on a perfect 75 degree evening. The sunset over Boston highlighted the evening with a beautiful array of colors that made the night just that much nicer. When Susan Tedeschi walked onto stage with her husband Derek Trucks not far behind, the entire venue cheered them [...]

Usually metal bands start off simple and build in complexity. Apparently Revocation didn’t get that memo. They’ve stripped away all the progressive wankery of Existence is Futile and made a lean monster of a modern thrash record. The slow-fast start-stop solo action in “Cradle Robber” recalls heyday Metallica. The riffs are catchy and satisfying (especially [...]

Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi prove marriage and some great friends can put together an incredible album . Before the upcoming Boston show on August 17th at the Bank of America Pavilion, I asked Susan and Derek a few questions and this is what they had to say about it: ZME: With the soon [...]

The “Big Four” of of the ’80s thrash metal movement – ya know: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax – is finally touring together in America…at some point. This, of course, comes after they toured Europe last year and put out a concert DVD from the Bulgaria show. All we know so far is that it’s [...]

I first saw The Sword when they opened for Metallica two years ago and they simply blew my mind away with their hypnotic blend of stoner metal and hard banging riffs. These guys know how to stimulate your psychic, I’m telling you. Covered above is the new album art for the Austinites upcoming third studio [...]

Much like the metal category, hard rock is something that the NARAS doesn’t understand to any degree. Yes, it can sometimes -* sometimes* – pick the ‘right’ bands but its choices for songs is bizarre. AC/DC, “WAR MACHINE” Alice in Chains, “Check My Brain” Linkin Park, “What I’ve Done” Metallica, “The Unforgiven III” Nickelback, “Burn [...]

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 [...]
