DIAMOND HEAD’s BRIAN TATLER Names His Favorite METALLICA Album
In a new interview with Rustyn Rose of MetalNation.com, guitarist Brian Tatler of British metal veterans DIAMOND HEAD was asked to name his favorite METALLICA album of all time. He said (see video below): “I’ll probably say the ‘black’ album is my favorite, because — partly, the production is incredible, and it’s chock-full of good songs. I saw them quite a few times on that tour as well — the ‘black’ album tour in ’91 and ’92 — so I’d get to hear things like ‘Wherever I May Roam’ or ‘Through The Never’. I think they did ‘Through The Never’ live. I like ‘Through The Never’. And, obviously, they played ‘[Enter] Sandman’ and ‘Sad But True’ and ‘Nothing Els...

Genesis XIX – SODOM
It’s hard to believe that Germany’s SODOM have been around for damn near 40 years. But the Teutonic thrashers are on top of their game with album number 16, the rabid and manic “Genesis XIX”. Simply put, “Genesis XIX” is the act’s best album in years. It’s high-octane, to say the least, and the passion is simply overflowing. The songwriting as well is impressive and considerably more subtly nuanced that what we have heard from them before. Founder and frontman Tom Angelripper marches forth with yet another lineup, one that is a quartet for the first time, on the recording front. This time around, the bassist/vocalist is accompanied by drummer Toni Merkel, rhythm guitarist Yorck Segatz, and lead guitarist Frank “Blackfire” Gosdzik....

Guitar Center Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy In Wake of Debt Restructure
Guitar Center, the nation’s largest retailer of musical instruments, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the company announced Saturday. The bankruptcy filing came just one week after the Guitar Center, which had been struggling to compete with online retailers even before the pandemic, announced it had reached a debt-reduction deal with its key stakeholders. The approved restructuring support agreement (RSA) intends to reduce Guitar Center’s reported $1.3 billion debt by nearly $800 million, including $375 million in Debtor-In-Possession financing from some existing note holders and lenders. It also intends to raise $335 million in new senior secured notes. {“nid”:”9485240″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Guitar Center R...
Watch John Legend Dance to ‘Magical’ Battle on ‘The Voice’
You just know it’s a heavyweight battle when the opposing coaches are up and dancing. That happened Monday night (Nov. 23), when Team Gwen’s Carter Rubin and Chloé Hogan went toe-to-toe for a dynamite knockout on NBC’s The Voice. Rubin, the cherubic teen from Shoreham, went first with a performance of Lauren Daigle’s “You Say.” It was a home run, with high notes aplenty. Gwen Stefani was clearly moved, and the mics caught her yelling, “my baby!” {“nid”:”9485886″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Tamara Jade Takes \u2018Higher Ground\u2019 With \u2018Ridiculous\u2019 Knockout Performance on \u2018The Voice\u2019: Watch”,”relative_path”:”\/articles\/news\/9485886\/tamara-jade-knockout-perfo...
BTS Challenging For U.K. No. 1 Album With ‘BE’
BTS have a mountain to climb if they’re to snag a third U.K. No. 1 album. Consider it a challenge for the K-pop group and their loyal ARMY. On the midweek chart, BTS come in at No. 2 with their fifth Korean-language studio album BE (BigHit Entertainment). It’s the most downloaded and streamed album of the week so far, the Official Charts Company reports, though its well adrift of the pace-setter, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe’s Together at Christmas (Decca). Ball and Boe’s holiday set is the best-selling CD in the first half of the week, and races to No. 1 on the Official Chart Update with a lead of 7,000 combined sales. If it holds its ground, Together at Christmas will be the pair’s third U.K. No. 1 album. {“nid”:”9487403″,”type”:”post”,...
