QUEENSRŸCHE Singer TODD LA TORRE To Release Debut Solo Album ‘Rejoice In The Suffering’
As global touring came to a sudden and unexpected halt earlier this year, QUEENSRŸCHE frontman Todd La Torre has been using his recent pandemic downtime to put the finishing touches on his debut solo album, “Rejoice In The Suffering”. The LP is scheduled for release globally on February 5, 2021 via Rat Pak Records. The idea for a solo album was always in the cards for Todd.

Todd teamed up with longtime friend and collaborator Craig Blackwell, alongside producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris, to create a diverse heavy metal album that draws influence from different styles. These styles will surprise fans who only know La Torre from his previou...
BRAVE THE COLD Feat. NAPALM DEATH’s MITCH HARRIS And MEGADETH’s DIRK VERBEUREN: ‘Apparatus’ Music Video
BRAVE THE COLD, the new project led by longtime NAPALM DEATH axeman Mitch Harris, has released the music video for its latest single, “Apparatus”.

The video is a collaboration with Italian filmmaker Donato Sansone adapted from the original animatio...
Watch Pro-Shot Video Of KIRK HAMMETT And BILLY GIBBONS Performing FLEETWOOD MAC’s ‘The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown)’
Professionally filmed video of METALLICA‘s Kirk Hammett and ZZ TOP‘s Billy Gibbons performing a cover version of the FLEETWOOD MAC classic “The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown)” can be seen below. The footage was filmed on February 25, 2020 — mere days before the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in the United Kingdom, as the ongoing pandemic necessitated the suspension of modern society — at a very special concert at the legendary Palladium in London celebrating the songs of Peter Green and the original incarnation of FLEETWOOD MAC. The audience at that sold-out show witnessed something unique at what would be the last live concert anyone would attend until further notice. This show also now takes on a particularly poignant meaning, with the unfortuna...
Torii Wolf’s Dark Trip-Hop Embraces the Bright Side of Creation
One of the most important lessons an artist can learn when the world is shut down is how to create a new one. That’s never been a problem for Torii Wolf. Prior to the pandemic, Wolf’s stylistic contortions as a singer-songwriter revolved around blending, burning and rebuilding genres. The Long Island native’s uniquely powerful, rage-filled rasp was the catalyst for Wolf’s breakout collaboration with legendary producer DJ Premier on their moody, trip-hop debut “Flow Riiot” in 2017. It was a launchpad that most new artists dream of, culminating in years of touring the world with ‘Preem while breaking barriers as a non-binary, LGBTQ artist. “It was a moment where I realized that massive shows are not as frightening to me,” Wolf tells SPIN of the three years they spent on the road, inclu...
