British heavy metal vocalist Blaze Bayley, who fronted IRON MAIDEN more than 20 years ago, spoke to Metal Pilgrim about how the rise of grunge in the early 1990s forced most hard rock bands off the radio and MTV, with album and tour sales plummeting. Addressing the cyclical nature of trends, he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “For a few of is, metal never went away. And we didn’t want grunge. I think largely the journalists said [about grunge], ‘This is the next big thing.’ “When I was in WOLFSBANE, we are happy-go-lucky guys, trying to be positive and enjoying life. Grunge comes, they’re all looking at their shoes, they’re miserable, they’re suicidal — the opposite of WOLFSBANE, and the opposite of a lot of bands at the time. R...

Odesza and Bettye LaVette Share New Song “The Last Goodbye”: Listen
Odesza have shared a new song called “The Last Goodbye.” The song credits Bettye LaVette as a featured artist due to its prominent sampling of 1965’s “Let Me Down Easy.” Hear Odesza’s track below. “This song was born out of the concept of trying to bring these lasting, defining musical pieces like the 1965 release of ‘Let Me Down Easy’ by Bettye LaVette into a modern and contemporary electronic setting,” Odesza explained. “The idea of bringing two worlds together, that at first seem distant, has always been something we’ve been drawn to. It was an absolute honor to be able to work with Bettye’s voice over the course of writing the track. She’s able to convey emotion with her vocal work unlike any other. To date, this has been one of the more fulfilling songs we’ve had the chance to work on...
