Lana Del Rey Recites ‘Salamander’ Poem in Candid Video
Lana Del Rey released the digital audio version of her poetry collection, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, on July 28 and over the weekend shared a candid video for one of its entries via social media. In the grainy clip, the singer-songwriter recites an abridged version of “Salamander” while collaborator Jack Antonoff’s sparse instrumentation plays in the background. “Get out of my blood, salamander,” she reads from a manuscript. “I can’t seem to blow off enough steam to get you out of my head/ Soul cycle you to death, run you out of my blood to San Pedro/ And yet, everywhere I go, it seems there you are/ And there I am.” Watch Del Rey recite “Salamander” below. pic.twitter.com/Mir1RIVVdD — Lana Del Rey (@LanaDelRey) August 1, 2020 Violet Bent Back...

DECAPITATED Vocalist Launches LUCY BURNS
LUCY BURNS is a fresh project from Rafał “Rasta” Piotrowski, frontman of the polish death metal band DECAPITATED, and his friend Mr. G, an electronic music maker. The band will release its first music video and single, “Ocooltica”, on August 7. The beginning of LUCY BURNS goes back to 2019.

Tribute Singer Who Auditioned For AC/DC In 2016 Tells His Story In ‘Beyond The Thunder’ Podcast
What’s it like to stand in the shoes of Brian Johnson, or Bon Scott, for that matter? Season 2 of “AC/DC Beyond The Thunder” podcast asks that very question, exploring a once-in-a-lifetime audition with AC/DC tribute band singer Lee Robinson, just one of four known vocalists to try out for AC/DC. It turns out AC/DC‘s search for a new singer, back when Brian Johnson‘s hearing loss forced him to leave the “Rock Or Bust” tour, did not begin and end with Axl Rose, who was eventually announced as the replacement for Brian on the rockers’ final stadium tour dates. In fact, AC/DC came close to doing what JUDAS PRIEST had done before them, plucking a new frontman from the obscurity of the AC/DC tribute band circuit in the form of Robinson (a.k.a. Bon...
