Had an exhausting week. Must be the energy that is drained with all these meteor showers or something! And the early stages of panning the hardDrive Live Five Tour! It’s gonna be huge and we’re announcing one month from today! Must have sleep!….Get ready people! Alice In Chains have already posted lyrics from “Hollow,” a track off their soon to be revealed new album title. Hit them up on Instagram or at www.aliceinchains.com. Song will appear on Tuesday!….Interviewed Andy Biersack, frontman of Black Veil Brides in the hardDrive studios. Talked about the upcoming album, Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones. Produced by John Feldmann, the album drops Jan 8th and the single, “In The End” comes sometime in mid-January. Weird, usually it’s the other way around on a release, but ok. New sound, new look and new attitude from this band for this concept album, which includes a short film, Legion of the Black, which is screening in movie theaters in LA Dec 21-23 and NY on Jan 24. You can also see the film for $4.99 on the BVB Facebook. The tour kicks off Jan 4th, dubbed Church of the Wild Ones Tour. See Road Rage for the dates (and see the Black Veil Brides Facebook for more.) …Was over on Blabbernouth and saw an item on Jason Newsted! He’s got a new band and you can check him out on his new website which launches today (Dec 14), www.newstedheavymetal.com ….Sevendust launched a trailer for their 9th album, Black Out the Sun. Check out the cool trailer. Album drops on March 26. The single is called “Decay.” That’s coming Jan 22….Yo! Rap metal fans! Ice T is coming back with a new Body Count album! Those guys haven’t been around in like a decade! The band will begin recording in January. Would totally be into seeing those guys tour again!…Our Canadian pals Finger Eleven have a new website, www.fingereleven.com. Check them out…..Happy 63rd today to Cliff Williams of AC/DC and on Sunday, Happy 63rd to my childhood friend, Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top!
