Nine Inch Nails’ Christmas presents
It’s Christmas time in Nine Inch Nails camp, so former and present band members have both released some tidbits for their fans. Former Nine Inch Nails keyboard player, Alessandro Cortini, has released his Sonoio project (how does it sound? Well, much like his former band, minus the gimmicks instruments), and you can download four songs for free, and a complete remix album on their website. Why remix, when industrial sounds like a remix already? Well, he must have heard you like a remix, so he put a remix in your remix…
The current Nine Inch Nails (which are on hiatus) have not been as generous, posting just a video from their farewell tour online. But, at least here, you have (the illusion of) a band. Check it after the jump.
Black Sabbath’s Christmas message
Black Sabbath, or the two parts that make it, Ozzy on one side, and the three guys on the other side, have separately released their Christmas message to the followers of the band.
Speaking on behalf of Heaven & Hell and/or Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi thanked their fans:
“I want to thank you all for your brilliant support in what has been a difficult year.
I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a 2011 in which you achieve something you’re working towards.
See you at a show soon.”
Ozzy on the other hand took a more critical approach, in his weekly Sunday Times column. He is a journalist after all, right?
“All this ’10 more shopping days to go’ bullocks is such a wind-up. I ain’t exactly Mr. Holy, but what’s that got to do with Baby Jesus being born?… The faster we get to New Year’s Day 2011, the better.”
…said Ozzy, while counting the money he made from advertising iced tea.

Pantera piss on you
So Pantera released a Deluxe Edition of ‘Cowboys from Hell’ this year, including a previously unreleased song, called ‘The Will to Survive’. While said song was more Glamtera than Pantera, we’ll definitely get a previously unreleased Pantera song next year, when they’re releasing a Deluxe Edition of ‘Vulgar Display of Power’.
How do I know that it’s going to be Groove instead of Glam this time around? They premiered a 15-second snippet of the song on Headbangers Ball a while ago. At the time, I couldn’t listen to it because I don’t get Headbangers Ball over here but thanks to YouTube, you can now listen to the song no matter where you are.
Check out the 15-second snipped of the previously unreleased song ‘Piss’ after the jump.
