The official lyric video for Evanescence‘s song Lost In Paradise can be seen below. The track comes off the band’s self-titled third major label album, which came out last October, five years after the group issued its last effort, 2006′s The Open Door. Evanescence sold 127,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.  Check out our album review.

In a 2011 interview with MTV NewsEvanescence singer Amy Lee stated about Lost In Paradise, “That’s the one that made us cry … like, literally, just in here, working on it, there have been tears. I love that song. When I was writing it, it wasn’t anything; it was just pure, it was just for me. I was literally just writing it for me, to soothe my own feelings by expressing them. And I just thought, ‘Piano, vocals, I can record it by myself at my house, and that’ll be the track. … It’ll be a B-side somewhere or something.’ Continue reading »

Shadowside are a female-fronted band from Santos, Brazil. They released a demo EP in 2001, Theatre Of Shadows (2005), Dare To Dream (2009) and Inner Monster Out (2011). Their second album (Dare To Dream) became one of the best selling metal albums in Brazil and appearing on several “Best of the year” lists. In late 2010, they embarked on a long European tour as support to W.A.S.P. and in early 2011 they supported Iron Maiden in Rio de Janeiro.

The current line-up is Dani Nolden (vocals & keyboards), Raphael Mattos (guitar), Ricardo Piccoli (bass) and Fabio Buitvidas (drums). ‘Inner Monster Out’ was mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman [Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates, In Flames], with the artwork by Felipe Machado Franco [Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, Iced Earth].

Teodor Tuff are getting ready to release their new album Soliloquy on Nightmare Records June 19th. Recently the band completed filming a video for their song Tower of Power. The video can be seen below.

Teodor Tuff is a band in constant change. Upon the departure of three members in 2010, the band was joined by Christer, Rayner and Terje Harøy, lead guitarist, bass player and vocalist, respectively. Christer and Rayner are brothers, and also happen to play in Divided Multitude. Terje is their cousin.

The band’s sound has now changed dramatically, and Teodor Tuff comes across as a pure metal band with its own distinct style; guitarist Knut Lysklætt‘s inspiration from classical music, rock opera, musicals and even Middle East folk songs, is mixed with the Harøy clan’s thoroughbred metal. As a result, Teodor Tuff’s second album – Soliloquy – is a truly exiting release! Continue reading »

 

When I was asked to review this album, I was told that it wasn’t metal, so I was not sure what to expect. Premnath Gonesh is the keyboard player for the band Slechtvalk, and this is his first solo album/project.

Not having much information on this album, I anxiously copied the songs to my iPod and started listening. What I found, much to my surprise, was 11 tracks of beautiful and inspiring instrumental music, which I believe is mostly done on keyboards and synthesizers. So let’s step through the album 1 song at a time.

The first song, “Sounds from the Otherside”, starts out with a piano and timpani, and then some strings kick in. After listening for about 30 seconds, I find myself relaxed, and swept away to another place and another time. The song is 3:12 in length, and at the end of the song, I am wondering where the time went. Pretty much most of the song is piano, strings, keyboards, and timpani. However, the song is well composed and as I stated, took me on a journey that, when over, I immediately wanted more. Continue reading »

 

According to The Pulse Of RadioAlter Bridge and Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti‘s first solo single, You Waste Your Time, has jumped straight up to Number 10 on the iTunes Rock Singles chart shortly after being released. Tremonti said in a statement, “I am overwhelmed by the positive response the song has already received. I never imagined it would hit the Top 10 so quickly and that is a testament to the amazing fans I have. I couldn’t have gotten anywhere in my career without them and want to thank each and every one of them for their support. I can’t wait until they hear the rest of it.”

You Waste Your Time is taken from Tremonti‘s debut solo album, All I Was, which is due for release on July 10 via Fret 12 Records, a company Mark started with his brother, Daniel Tremonti, and Tom Stanley. Continue reading »

 

Mary Colurso of The Birmingham News recently conducted an interview with Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

On enduring a severe case of spinal stenosis (with herniated discs and bone spurs):

Mustaine: “Last summer during the [Rockstar Energy DrinkMayhem[Festival] tour, everything just went south. Something had broken in the back of my neck; I had a bone fragment in my spinal column the size of an eraser. The pain when I was moving my neck had me on my knees, sobbing. My son had never seen me this way. My hand went numb. My ring and pinky finger were not communicating with my brain. … But the surgery was a complete success. I had a disc fused in my neck, and the feeling has returned completely to my left hand. It shows you how God’s with me in everything you do.” Continue reading »

Evanescence released its self-titled third major label album last October, five years after the group issued its last effort, 2006′s The Open Door.
