GLORYHAMMER Surprise With New Single “He Has Returned”; Official Music Video Posted

Fantasy metal titans, Gloryhammer, end 2024 by unleashing surprise single, “He Has Returned”. Expanding on the story of the fan-favourite character of the Robot Prince of Auchtertool, the song sees the band revisit a familiar theme whilst treading new sonic ground, seamlessly combining pounding heavy metal, uplifting electro-synths, and devastating dual guitars with the masterful songwriting and singalong choruses the band has made their trademark for the past decade.

The band also takes a retrospective look at their history and evolution with two bonus tracks, new versions of “The Unicorn Invasion Of Dundee” (hearkening all the way back to their first 2010 demo) and “Hootsforce”, the breakout hit from 2019’s Legends From Beyond The Galactic Terrorvortex. With a fresh production from the dream team of George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token) and Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Powerwolf, Volbeat), these two classics take on a new lease of life.

“He Has Returned” is Gloryhammer like you’ve never heard them before. With a calendar of shows across the globe, and a new record in the works, the stage is set for Gloryhammer to dominate the modern power metal scene yet again!

GOTTHARD To Release Stereo Crush Album In March; “Boom Boom” Single And Lyric Video Out Now

Posted on by u0zp4y

GOTTHARD To Release Stereo Crush Album In March;

Nearly five years after the release of #13, Swiss rockers, Gotthard, are making a powerful comeback with their new album, Stereo Crush, set to release on March 21 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

To mark the announcement, the band have unveiled their latest single, “Boom Boom”. This high-energy anthem not only celebrates the album announcement but also offers a dynamic preview of the signature sound fans can expect from Stereo Crush.

Guitar duo Leo Leoni and Freddy Scherer ignite the track with heavy riffs that haven’t been heard in the Gotthard realm for quite some time. The remarkable rhythm section, powered by bassist Marc Lynn and drummer Flavio Mezzodi, propels the Swiss express forward with relentless energy, while frontman Nic Maeder masterfully commands the journey through hard rock territory with his powerful and charismatic vocals. Building up to an irresistibly catchy chorus, it’s clear to all that this is a new Gotthard classic in the making.

Stream/purchase “Boom Boom” here, and watch a lyric video for the song below.

Leo Leoni explains the personal meaning of the song: “I wrote it when I found out that we were expecting a child. The birth of my son Gabriel was a moment that completely changed my life. When I hold him in my arms, look into his eyes or see his smile, I feel an indescribable love and deep gratitude. This song is my way of expressing all these feelings for him.”

Produced and mixed by long-time partner Charlie Bauerfeind, who’s known for his work with the likes of Helloween and Blind Guardian, alongside founding member Leo Leoni at Yellowhouse Studio, and mastered by Sascha “Busy” Bühren (TrueBusyness), Stereo Crush promises to set new standards which will additionally come to shine on the band’s forthcoming touring cycle: Gotthard will open it with a tour in May, accompanied by special guests Y&T, before the quintet head to select festivals as well as the stages of their home country at the end of 2025. The band’s current live schedule can be found below.

Fans should also mark January 17 of next year in their calendars as Stereo Crush pre-orders will officially be launched on that date. One thing’s for sure: Even in 2025, there won’t be a way around Gotthard for the worldwide hard rock community.

“It’s really very disrespectful… the artistic value is zero.” Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser blasts his former bandmates Max and Iggor Cavalera for their decision to re-record the Brazilian band’s early albums

Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser has made his feelings known on Max and Iggor Cavalera’s decision to re-record the Brazilian band’s earliest releases, and he’s evidently far from impressed.

In July 2023, Cavalera released their newly-recorded versions of Sepultura’s first EP, Bestial Devastation, and their first full-length album Morbid Visions via Nuclear Blast Records. And in June this year, the pair completed the third of their re-recordings of what Max Cavalera called “The Third World Trilogy with the release, on the same label, of a new version of 1987’s Schizophrenia, the first Sepultura album to feature Andreas Kisser.

Revisiting his mindset when the original album was released, Max Cavalera stated in June, “I was inspired to take on the world and this recording shows my commitment is relentless!”

Asked for his thoughts on this in a new interview with IMPACT Metal Channel, Andreas Kisser makes it clear that he doesn’t share his former bandmate and friend’s take.

“I don’t think anything,” says Kisser, who is currently leading Sepultura on their final world tour. “I mean, it’s a weird choice that they had. I think artistic value is zero. Maybe they’re going for some money or something, but there’s no reason to do something like that…

“But if they’re having a good time, so let it be,” the guitarist continued. “I don’t care, man. I just think it’s totally unnecessary. It’s really very disrespectful from themselves, for their own selves in the past, you know?”

Not quite ready to let it be just yet, Kisser added, “It’s weird to see a guy [Max Cavalera] who always says, ‘Oh, I did this,’ ‘I did all that,’ ‘I’m so creative,’ and ‘I did everything by myself,’ and doing this shit, like re-recording riffs that we did 30, 40 years ago, it doesn’t click, the rhetoric with the example. But whatever. I just think that the artistic value is zero.”

Earlier this month, Kisser invited the Cavalera brothers to be a part of Sepultura’s last ever show, which the band hope to play in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2026.

“We like to invite all the ex-members, including the brothers, Cavalera brothers,” he said. “Let’s see what happens. We’re working towards that, to have a big celebration for the fans.”

“Scream for me Long Beach!” One of the best live albums of all time is currently 27% off for Black Friday

Posted on by u0zp4y

Iron Maiden’s Live After Death is undeniably one of the greatest live albums of all time – and it’s currently available on Amazon at a reduced price of £35.06.

The heavy metal legends celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2025 with the Run For Your Lives tour – in which they will be performing classic songs from their first nine studio albums.

As singer Bruce Dickinson tells Classic Rock: “We’ll be presenting things in such a way that people will be blown away – not just by the music, but by the whole spectacle!”

Fans are already speculating about which songs will be in the setlist for the Run For Your Lives tour, but pretty much everyone agrees that they’ll have to play Run To The Hills, 2 Minutes To Midnight, The Trooper, The Number Of The Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Flight Of Icarus, Phantom Of The Opera, Running Free and the band’s calling card Iron Maiden.

All of these classics are of course featured on Live After Death.

The album was recorded on the band’s World Slavery Tour, a 13-month marathon which began in August 1984 and ended 331 days and 189 shows later in July 1985.

The stage show was based on theme of ancient Egyptian mythology that inspired the title track and the cover of the band’s then-current studio album Powerslave.

A four-night stint at Long Beach Arena in Orange County, California in March 1985 would – along with earlier shows at London’s Hammersmith Odeon – provide the basis for the Live After Death album.

As bassist Steve Harris told Classic Rock: “We wanted to record all of [Live After Death] from Hammersmith, but we ended up recording three sides from LA because by that time we were just playing that bit better.”

The World Slavery Tour helped turn Maiden into one of the biggest metal bands of the decade, but at a cost. The punishing tour schedule pushed the band members to their mental and physical limits, almost bringing the group to an end.

“That tour fried everybody,” Harris said. “Bruce in particular. Christ, he had to get up and sing six nights a week for 13 months, and that took its toll. Our schedule then was insane. It wasn’t like anyone twisted our arms, we were totally up for it, but perhaps we took on more than we could deal with.”

Bruce himself recalled: “At no point on the tour did we ever get to the point where anybody hated each other. We held that end of it together very well. Because we all realised what each of us was going through, and if someone threw a wobbler – which we all did at some point – it was, ‘Shall we leave the room and let him wreck the place and come back later?’ Because everyone was going through it.

“But it was the first time I really thought about leaving. I don’t just mean Maiden, I mean quitting music altogether. I really felt like I was pretty much basket case material by the end of that tour, and I did not want to feel that way.”

If that tour was a test of human endurance, what came out of it was a legendary double-live album comparable to such classics as Deep Purple’s Made In Japan, UFO’s Strangers In The Night, Thin Lizzy’s Live And Dangerous and Kiss Alive!

So if your old copy of Live After Death is worn out – or you’ve never heard this masterpiece – now’s the time to grab a copy.

“I blagged my way into this band from the beginning”: Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan on tricking his future bandmates into letting him join

Depeche Mode in 1980

There was something in the water in Basildon in the late 70s, where the members of bands that would become Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, the Vandals plus solo star Alison Moyet all crossed paths as teens, sometimes in the same class together at school. The well-worn tale of how Dave Gahan came to be the singer in Depeche Mode goes that his bandmates, then in a group called Composition Of Sound, were rehearsing and could hear Gahan singing Bowie’s “Heroes” in the next room and decided his voice was strong enough that he should be their vocalist.

But, speaking to this writer in 2017, Gahan threw some doubt on the tale. “I blagged my way into this band from the beginning,” he said. “They were already a band before me – Vince, Fletch and Martin – and they needed a front guy. I was an Essex lad. Vince thought he heard me singing “Heroes” by David Bowie in a rehearsal room next door with this other band. I was singing it, but so was a couple of other people too. We were all on the mic, just jamming along. But when he asked me if that was me, I was like, ‘That was me, yeah’. I had nothing else going on.”

Gahan would go on to be one of the most captivating and exuberant frontmen of his generation, but he said the role never came naturally to him. “I felt very awkward,” he said. “I would say for the first ten years or so. You’re always just trying to fit in. We were very lucky, we worked with some amazing people. We got a lot of creative, amazing people, all due to [Mute boss and band mentor] Daniel Miller. If Daniel hadn’t have found us and took us under his wing, god knows what would’ve happened. We would’ve been some awful fucking Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran-type thing.”

Gahan knows where he belongs these days, though, and you can see him do his thing in London next week. He’ll perform at a tribute show for ex-Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan at the Roundhouse on December 5 alongside Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Soulsavers, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart and more.

Redefine your wardrobe with 25% off watches, hats, wallets and more at Nixon

Is any gift more universally well received than a good wristwatch? The answer’s no (probably). To wit, Nixon Watches have launched a sitewide Black Friday deal, deducting 25% off the price tag for everything they sell. Everything.

Nixon have been selling top-quality watches since 1997, and their website boasts a rich array of timepieces for both him and her. If none of them seem to grab you (not even the designs inspired by rock legends Nirvana and the Rolling Stones?!), then no sweat. They also sell a host of accessories, from wallets to duffel bags and hats to vegan-friendly belts.

Few of Nixon’s mens items look as sleek as the 51-30 Chrono watch, especially when it’s chosen in all-black. The company say it “bridges the gap between fashion and function”, thanks to its bold indices and an ability to keep on ticking up to 300m underwater. The universal Black Friday sale has taken more than £100 off the price tag, slashing this standout pick from its RRP of £455 down to £341.25.

For women, Nixon have the stylish and understated Confidante, available in entirely gold or a more dynamic fusion of gold and silver. It’s “fine jewellery first and a precise timepiece second”, say the manufacturer, with the watch’s small face able to be hidden beneath a butterfly clasp. Whether you want to tell the time on a good-looking piece or just make a fashion statement, it’ll do the trick. Around Black Friday, you can get it for £172.50, down from its original £230.

Fan of rock music? You’ll be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t check out Nixon’s unisex watches with styling inspired and officially licensed by the famed bands Nirvana and the Rolling Stones. Wear your fandom boldly with a timepiece displaying the Nirvana logo and their iconic “smiley face” logo (down from £160 to £120). Or, go for a subtle but gorgeous option with a second hand inspired by the Stones’ generation-spanning “tongue” symbol (now £187.50, was £250).

Extend your Nixon collection beyond your wrist with their catalogue of accessories. Two of their vegan belt options, the all-black “Americana” and brown and gold-coloured “DNA”, are now just £18.75 apiece. Their mixture of wallets, several of which are also vegan-friendly, start at £18.75. With backpacks, coolers, duffel bags and more also available, it’s obvious watches are just the beginning.

Having already revealed Zeal & Ardor and Elder as two of the festival’s three headliners, the Desertfest team have announced that Dylan Carlson’s legendary drone-doom postrockers Earth will headline the Electric Ballroom on Sunday May 18. This will be the Olympia, Washington band’s first UK show in five years, as well as their first time on the Desertfest London stage.

Arkansas doom quartet Pallbearer will join the Saturday night line up at the Roundhouse, and the event will also see the UK debut of Chöd, an audio-visual collaboration between Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless), artist Arik Roper, and Doc Kelley (Psychedelic Sangha).

In total 20 artists have been newly announced for the UK’s premier doom/stoner/sludge metal fest: alongside Earth, Pallbearer and Chöd, the list includes Conan, Elephant Tree, Hippie Death Cult, Castle Rat, Avon, Greenmillk from the Planet Orange, Servo, Mr Bison, Kind, El Moono, The Hazytones, King Botfly, Lust Ritual, Slump, Witchorious, The Summit Fever and Dresden Wolves.

Desertfest 2024 featured headliners Masters Of Reality, Suicidal Tendencies and Godflesh, alongside Cancer Bats, Brant Bjork, Ozric Tentacles and more.

As Metal Hammer‘s Matt Mills noted, “These days Desertfest is as much a celebration of the riff as it is a mecca for UK stoner, doom and psych fans, and over the years its bills have evolved to reflect a wider spectrum of guitar-slinging brilliance.”

Sting and Snoop Dogg Rework ‘Message in a Bottle’ on New Single

Snoop Dogg has recruited Sting for his newest single, “Another Part of Me.” The song’s musical track draws heavily from the distinctive bass line, guitar and melody of the Police‘s 1979 hit “Message in a Bottle.”

You can listen to the new song below.

In addition to occasionally punctuating Snoop’s verses, Sting gets a brief vocal spotlight near the end of the track: “In a moment jump up on it, see the ocean, stay in motion /You’re not broken, know I’m chosen, I just gotta have faith / Time is passin’, I stay active, mamis laughin’, movies, rappin’ Millions stackin’,  / Look what happened, life just isn’t the same..”

“Another Part of Me” is taken from Snoop Dogg’s upcoming Missionary album, which features the ubiquitous rapper / Olympic commentator teaming up with legendary rap producer Dr. Dre to (somewhat belatedly) celebrate the 30th anniversary of 1993’s Doggystyle.

The Missionary track list also includes a cover of “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” with vocals from the late Tom Petty and current country favorite Jelly Roll. The album is due to arrive Dec. 13.

Sting will resume his Sting 3.0 power trio tour in 2025 with shows in both North and South America. You can get his complete tour itinerary at Sting.com.
