From Broadway to the Highway
It took Anaïs Mitchell roughly a decade to create her Tony and Grammy award-winning Broadway phenomenon Hadestown – a retelling of a Greek myth set in The Netherworld. And with that, she became just the fourth woman to compose the music, lyrics and book of a Broadway musical (which then ran for 16 years). Now, she is looking to the future — cradling that Grammy, and eight Tony Awards no less. She has also been dubbed by NPR as “one of the greatest songwriters of her generation,” an article in Acoustic Guitar magazine called Mitchell “fearlessly emotive” and compared her to Bob Dylan, and then there was that Time Magazine 100 List in 2020. No wonder when I last spent an afternoon with her in New York, pre-pandemic she was all smiles. Then again, I think she’s just the smiling ty...
Devil Master Announce New Album, Unveil Video for “Acid Black Mass”: Stream
Devil Master have announced their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, Ecstasies of Never Ending Night. Ahead of the April 29th release date, the Philadelphia-based band has shared the video for lead single “Acid Black Mass.” The new album sees Devil Master exploring a more mystical and darkly numinous path in lieu of the self-described “childish Satanism” of their debut album. This is best exemplified in the album art for Ecstasies, which depicts an enchanting fantasy-scape. That doesn’t mean the band has dropped its core black metal and punk rock influences. Devil Master once again tap into the infernal majesty of Celtic Frost and raw street punk of GISM on “Acid Black Mass,” though the overall arrangement and playing is tighter and more atmospheric. A DIY camcorder-shot video of the ban...

GHOST’s TOBIAS FORGE On MIKE PENCE’s ‘Pursuit Of Power’: ‘It’s One Of The Most Evil Things I’ve Ever Seen’
GHOST leader Tobias Forge has confirmed to Rolling Stone that the band’s new song “Grift Wood”, from the upcoming album “Impera”, takes aim at Donald Trump-era U.S. vice president Mike Pence who led Christian evangelicals into becoming apologists for what many believe was the most destructive president of modern times, while at the same time preaching righteousness and goodness. “Let’s just say that it can be about someone like him who is ready to serve his entire life’s work in pursuit of power, and then justify it by claiming some sort of a religious connection,” Forge said. “He’s a great example of someone like that. Every basement he has reached, he miraculously finds a new one. It’s one of the most evil things I&#...
