Disturbed unveil artwork for new album

Disturbed have unveiled the artwork for their new album, The Lost Children.

The verdict? Disturbing… By which, I mean it’s as shit as all their other album covers. Make the jump to see it for yourselves.

New Kittie video interview posted

You can watch a new video interview with Morgan Lander (guitar, vocals) and Mercedes Lander (drums) of the Canadian Metal band Kittie, above. It’s not as hot as a Katy Perry video, but at least it’s Metal and not quite as shit.

The interview was conducted by El Muerte of Capital Chaos. For more on Kittie and their new album, check out Blabbermouth.

Sebastian Bach still loves making records…

The AU Review recently conducted an interview with the former Skid Row singer, Sebastian Bach.

I guess it’s like one of those vicious cycle things, huh? Sebastian Bach likes making albums (*cough* likes money *cough*), I don’t like listening to them, but yet I end up writing about it. Seb hates me, so he continues to torture me with his crap albums, and I continue to write, because I’m a sadist masochist. Which came first, Sebastian Bach‘s shit music, or my shit writing? Mind = blown, I know.

Anyways, I think I found the reasons for Seb’s shitty music:

“Yeah, well, I want to keep on making records. I don’t just listen to singles, I listen to albums. I love the Black Veil Brides new album, Set The World On Fire, it’s a great album. I like Hellyeah when they put out records, I think they put out great albums”

Tell me that doesn’t explain a lot.

Review: Machine Head – Unto The Locust

Four years after the phenomenal success of The Blackening, Machine Head return with Unto The Locust. As one of the most eagerly awaited albums of the year, the ‘Head have everything to prove. Can they follow up with a similar successful album or will they lose steam, just like they did after their second studio album The More Things Change?

The band like to act as if The Burning Red, and especially Supercharger, never happened. I can understand that, because as a huge Machine Head fan, I like to act as if that never happened as well. But these two Nu-Metal albums actually did get released, therefore a lot of people doubt the band is able to keep up their momentum.

As much as I love this band, I’ve got to admit that I expected a lot from this album, but feared for the worst. These guys might be the ones that wrote the amazing ‘Descend The Shades Of Night,’ but they’re also the ones who wrote the abysmal ‘American High’ — with the exception of Phil Demmel.

So after all, Unto The Locust could be absolutely killer or it could make me kill myself. Make the jump to read my review of Machine Head’s seventh studio album, and let’s hope it’s not my suicide note.
