THE APOCALYPSE BLUES REVIVAL, the Florida-based psychedelic rock side project of GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin and guitarist Tony Rombola, will release its self-titled album on December 11. The official music video for the disc’s second single, “The Doorway”, can be seen below. The nine-track album loosely follows an autobiographical narrative centered around a protagonist on the left-hand path, embracing dark magic rituals that begins on “Waltz Of The Antichrist/Impure”, and later changes his ways to ascension concluding with the seven minute-plus track, “A Gecko (Part 2) – The Endless Possibility Of Water (666 Reprise)” that stretches towards a fiery musical catharsis. Larkin stated: “When you listen to the album, I’d love it ...
New Book Explores How KISS, CHEAP TRICK, AEROSMITH And STARZ Laid Foundation For Hair Metal In ’80s And Grunge In ’90s
Due on December 1 via Hachette Books, Doug Brod‘s “They Just Seem A Little Weird” offers an original, eye- and ear-opening look at a crucial moment in hard-rock history, when the music became fun again and a concert became a show. It’s the story of four bands that started in the ’70s and drew from the same seminal sources but devised vastly different sounds. It’s the story of friends and frenemies who rose, fell and soared again, often sharing stages, producers, engineers, managers, and fans — and who are still collaborating more than 40 years later. In the tradition of books like David Browne‘s bestselling “Fire And Rain”, “They Just Seem A Little Weird” seamlessly weaves the narratives of the mega-selling KISS, CHEAP TRICK...
Original LYNCH MOB Bassist ANTHONY ESPOSITO Says ‘Reimagined’ Version Of ‘Wicked Sensation’ Is A ‘Joke’
Original LYNCH MOB bassist Anthony Esposito has slammed the recently released “reimagined” version of the band’s debut album as “a joke.” Issued in late August via Rat Pak Records, “Wicked Sensation Reimagined” is a reworked and re-recorded version of the original LP, featuring a more soulful, funkified take on LYNCH MOB‘s bluesy hard rock songs. Esposito, who played on “Wicked Sensation” and is credited as a writer on five of the album’s tracks, was asked in a new interview with the “Focus On Metal” podcast if he was approached by LYNCH MOB leader George Lynch about taking part in the “reimagined” version of the effort. He said: “No — hell no. He never called me about the remastered reissue of ...

Old Danzon Gets Cool Makeover With Latin Grammy-Nominated Orquesta Failde
Failde spoke to Billboard from his home in Matanzas, Cuba. Your great-great-uncle, Miguel Failde, is credited with having created the danzón rhythm. Was that legacy always present in your life? I started dancing the danzón when I was six years old, thanks to a teacher I had at school. But I am the only musician in my immediate family, and I really just found out the whole story of the Failde family a few years ago. In the past, artists were often looked down upon, and music was seen as a hobby. My grandfather Candido, for example, was a great violinist, but all I knew about him was that he was a tailor by profession. When I started studying music, I got to the conservatory and realized I was “a Failde,” that my name was the same as that great Cuban musician. It ignited a passion in me for ...
Foo Fighters Announce New Album Medicine at Midnight, Share First Single “Shame Shame”: Stream
Minutes before they took the stage at Saturday Night Live, Foo Fighters confirmed the release of their next studio album. It’s called Medicine at Midnight and will be released on February 5th, 2021. As a preview, they’ve let loose the first single, “Shame Shame”, which you can stream below. Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, engineered by Darrell Thorp, and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, Medicine at Midnight spans nine songs spanning 37 minutes. As Dave Grohl detailed in an interview earlier this year, the new album is “filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs. It’s kind of like a dance record, but not an EDM, disco, modern dance record. It’s got groove. To me, it’s our David Bowie’s Let’s Dance record. That’s what we wanted to make, we wan...
Dave Chappelle: “You Have No Problem Wearing Them at the Klan Rally, Wear Them to Walmart Too”
Nearly four years to the day of his first time hosting Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappelle returned to Studio 8H to once again headline the sketch comedy show’s post-election episode. As to be expected, the comedian’s opening monologue proved to be the highlight of the evening. Chappelle began his monologue by noting how the events of the day had him reminiscing about his great-grandfather — a former slave who taught himself how to read and who then committed himself to a life of education, civil rights, and religion. “It was a pretty amazing story my great-grandfather had, and I thought about him all day because I wish I could see him now,” Chappelle remarked. “And I wish he could see me. Because I wonder what he would say.” In particular, Chappelle predicted how his great-grandfathe...
