Lacuna Coil recording new album
You know, I used to really really like Lacuna Coil back when I was 16. Well, I say I liked them… Actually I was just at that age where I was thinking with dick; by which I mean, I “liked” Cristina Scabbia. Once I went past the puberty stage, I realized their music was dull and bored me rigid.
So, if you’re male, and between the ages of about 14 and 17, you may be interested in this news. No, Cristina isn’t about to pose nude you pervs, but the band have begun recording a new album. You can get all the information here.
Decapitated are back
Fucking brilliant news. Yeah, I know, you’re all going to tell me that Decapitated never actually went away, aren’t you? I have to be honest though, after the tragic death of drummer Vitek, I kind of lost touch of what these guys were up to I regret to say.
So what are the Death Metal masterminds up to? Well, according to Blabbermouth, the band are back and have been working on a brand new album. The album is called Carnival Is Forever and is due for release on July 12th. The tracklisting can be found after the jump.
And now listen to ‘Spheres of Madness’ to remember why these guys kick so much ass!
Glassjaw’s lucky break
Glassjaw have announced that they are moving away from traditional album releases. Why? Because pirates made them do it. Just kidding, read this:
“People are so hung up on us not having a full-length out that they’re overlooking the fact that record labels are becoming increasingly irrelevant, that full-length records are becoming irrelevant and the whole album/tour cycle is pretty irrelevant.”
Can’t really argue with anything said right there, except… These guys haven’t put out an album since 2002. They’ve actually waited for so long, they’ve lived to see a shift in the music industry. Not many bands get away that “easy.” But it makes you wonder, if Axl waited some more to release Chinese Democracy, he could have used the same excuse logic.
I guess down the line, internet song packs and EPs are the future (while pop music will probably be reduced to singles only), and don’t get me wrong, I hate albums which have 40% of filler material just as much as the next guy and I see the good side of this, but I still really like albums. Then again, I also like to watch donkey shows, so maybe I’m not the one to pass any judgment.
Hellyeah to ‘heavy it up’
Watch out, looks like Vinnie Paul is about to hit the cheese burgers and heavy shit up.
No, but seriously, he’s actually talking about his band, Hellyeah (Why is that one word? Seriously) who have plans for another album (please no!), in which they are to ‘heavy it up’ a bit.
Sounds exciting right? Ha, no I didn’t think so. Blabbermouth have all the news and a video or something… Did I watch it? Hellno!
Talking of In Flames….
…There’s actually some In Flames news doing the rounds. If you like to think of In Flames as a good band, as opposed to being a washed up band with little purpose, you may as well go back to the previous post. Otherwise, make the jump for a third “webisode” (who coined that name BTW? It seriously sucks). I would embed it above like my previous post, but I like to pretend In Flames are still good and don’t suck, so I hide that kind of thing beneath the jump. If you do care, and missed the previous two webisodes, you can also check those out below too.
