Swedish metallers SABATON have released the official music video for their new single, “Soldier Of Heaven”. The track is taken from the band’s tenth studio album, “The War To End All Wars”, that will be released on March 4 via Nuclear Blast Records. Written and recorded during the COVID-19 global pandemic, the concept album of 11 brand-new songs once again dives deep into the atrocities, miracles, and events tied to the early 20th century’s World War I. The tenth album of the Falun-based five-piece will be available in an impressive variety of exclusive formats, including CD, vinyl, and cassette, with most available in limited editions. Between the several battlegrounds of WWI, there was no scene as hostile as the feared alpine front that involved a seri...

QUEENSRŸCHE‘s Casey Grillo has confirmed to SW Wall Music in a new interview that he will be the featured drummer on the band’s upcoming album, which is scheduled to be recorded later this month. “We’ve actually been doing writing sessions here in Florida,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “We’ll get together and do the writing and stuff.

In a new interview with The Rock Experience With Mike Brunn, former MÖTLEY CRÜE singer John Corabi was asked how he measures success. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I learned a very hard, valuable lesson when I was in MÖTLEY. Obviously, everybody knows what the [1994 self-titled] record did or didn’t do. The tour was a nightmare. I was the new ingredient, and then I left. And the one thing that I learned was when I left the band, my phone stopped ringing. And it was kind of a harsh reality.
