In a new interview with Decker of Wisconsin’s WZOR (Razor 94.7/104.7) radio station, TRIVIUM guitarist Corey Beaulieu was asked if he and his bandmates have begun working on material for the follow-up to 2021’s “In The Court Of The Dragon” album. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “No. There’s always material. During our downtime, I wrote some stuff, just ’cause I needed something to do and I had a couple of riffs, and I was, like, ‘Screw it. I’ll just kind of start working on it.’ And then there’s fragments of songs or demos of songs that maybe someone… I know I have a couple of things I wrote and demoed for the last record, but when you have three people in the band writing song ideas and riffs and stuff, b...

ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti spoke to Niclas Müller-Hansen of RockSverige about the progress of the recording sessions for the band’s new album. He said: “Drums are done and bass is starting today [April 19]. I go in next week. We all went in to do pre-production. Myles [Kennedy, vocals] and I write demos and then one by one we’ll go through the demos until we’re satisfied with the record.

He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Ah, I don’t care. It’s the same thing as the Grammys to me. To me, when [SHINEDOWN‘s third studio album, 2008’s] ‘The Sound Of Madness’ had six Number One songs on one record in the year that it came out, when that hasn’t been done since… I think Adele did it, and it really hasn’t been done since. It hadn’t been done in probably 15 years before that. And it didn’t get nominated for a Grammy. [So] I was like there’s not a physical way I could care ...

THE DARKNESS singer Justin Hawkins has weighed in on PUDDLE OF MUDD‘s cover version of a NIRVANA classic which went viral two years ago. The 47-year-old British-born rocker who currently lives in Switzerland offered his assessment of PUDDLE OF MUDD frontman Wes Scantlin‘s 2020 rendition of “About A Girl” via his YouTube series “Justin Hawkins Rides Again” where he shares a mixture of serious musician analysis and fun hot takes to his 112,000 subscribers. PUDDLE OF MUDD‘s acoustic performance of the track at the SiriusXM studios was uploaded to YouTube in January 2020 but didn’t blow up on the video-sharing platform until three months later, with detractors blasting Scantlin‘s off-key take on the iconic song.
