> METALLICA have entered a Los Angeles recording studio to record their forthcoming 9th record. The band recently posted on the site:
“Metallica left the comfort of HQ this week to descend upon the greater Los Angeles area to begin recording their 9th original album. This is the first time they’ve recorded outside of the Bay Area since they spent an eternity at One-On-One Studios recording The Black Album in ‘90 and ‘91. The last couple days have been devoted to each band member working out the right sounds, including Lars who remembered to turn on the snare and Kirk who played a solo! The big, shiny red button was finally pushed today – and the wait begins.”
> Mastodon's new track "Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife" can be heard online here. The song was recorded for the upcoming film "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters", with the band said to be featured in the start of the film as animated characters performing the aforementioned song. The track will also be featured on the movies soundtrack, which will arrive in stores on April 10th through Williams Street/ADA.
> SLAAAAYYYEEEERRRRRRRR are plotting another "Unholy Alliance" tour this fall with around 3-4 other as-yet undecided bands in tow.
> German high-energy thrashers DEW-SCENTED have shot a video for their new song “That’s Why I Despise You” with the help of the acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus (LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR). The song can also be found on the Myspace page of the band at this location. For a list of upcoming DEW-SCENTED-shows, visit the band’s official website here.
> Make sure to pick up a copy of THE LOCUST's New Erections. The album is in stores now, and it is the best music made by alient ants you will ever hear. Really awesome weird stuff. Check out their Myspace page to sample some music.
