new music release

Despite its reputation, summer isn't exactly one of the busiest seasons for music.

Want to scare the little kids in the neighborhood? Then take a listen to Bleeding Through’s ‘Faith in Fire’ and crank your speakers to the highest possible level while near a window. That’s how terrifyingly fast and brutal the Orange County band’s latest slab of blackened, keyboard-laced metalcore is. ‘Faith in Fire’ will live on ...

The Smashing Pumpkins‘ legacy will be honored later this year when their first two albums — 1991′s ‘Gish’ and 1993′s ‘Siamese Dream’ — will be reissued in a variety of formats, including CD, deluxe two-CD/DVD, vinyl LP and digital configurations.

After a four-year layoff, Machine Head recently stormed back with their seventh album, ‘Unto the Locust,’ and fans immediately responded by giving the band the highest-debuting release of its career. Riding high with a top 30 album, Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn recently sat down with Loudwire to discuss the creative process behind the new record, the band’s impressive longevity, and some of th

Throughout the ’90s, Korn were one of the most celebrated bands on the planet. The nu-metal pioneers pumped out hit after hit to their rabid fan base. A true testament to Korn’s auditory power was when ‘Freak on a Leash’ came in at No. 1 on MTV’s ‘Total Request Live,’ beating out N’Sync and the Backstreet Boys after the two boy bands had been the only artists to top the ‘TRL’ countdown for six mon

Undaunted by the departure of members Josh and Zac Farro, Paramore kicked off 2011 by promising new music for its fans. Now they’re getting down to the business of delivering on that promise. With a full-length album on the horizon for 2012, the band has announced plans to tide fans over in the meantime by releasing three brand new tracks between now and the end of the year.

Back in the day, the release of a concert album used to be a sure sign that a band was not going to be putting out a new studio effort anytime soon. Chevelle fans can rest easy, however. Even though the Chicago-bred group released the live collection ‘Any Last Words’ in the spring, a new studio disc is on the way, just in time for the year-end holiday season.

This fall is going to be a memorable one for Disturbed, particularly singer David Draiman. According to the tweet-happy Draiman, his hard-hitting band will release the 16-track B-sides, rarities and covers album ‘The Lost Children’ on Nov. 8. But before that, Draiman will reportedly tie the knot with his model/actress fiancée, Lena Yada, on Sunday (Sept. 25).

There’s no mistaking Metallica‘s thick guitar attack and Lou Reed‘s spoken, attitude-driven vocals in ‘The View,’ a 38-second sample of which can be heard now online in advance of their joint album, ‘Lulu.’

Given the choice of touring for another year or more behind 2009′s ‘War Is the Answer’ or “jump right back in the studio” and make another album, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook and his band mates chose the latter option. The result is ‘American Capitalist,’ due Oct. 11, and the faster-than-usual follow-up is all part of 5FDP embracing the evolution in and around the music industry in

Parting ways with a major record label can devastate or invigorate a band. For the Used, it seems to be the latter. Singer Bert McCracken says his Utah-bred group will release its near-finished fifth studio album, ‘Vulnerable,’ in early 2012 on its own Dental Records.

First it was Sept. 27, then it was Oct. 4. Now the latest release date for the new Jane’s Addiction album, ‘The Great Escape Artist,’ is Oct. 18.
