Megadeth Confirm Lamb Of God's Chris Adler On New Album

(hennemusic) After months of rumors and speculation, Megadeth have officially confirmed Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler will join the band as a guest player on their new studio album.

"Chris is a tremendous talent, and an amazing person," says leader Dave Mustaine. "He is going to bring a new level of excitement and energy to Megadeth that the fans are going to lose their minds over. I have nothing but respect for my previous drummers, but this is going to absolutely KILL!

"Back in 1989, Megadeth originally worked as a three piece - guitar, bass and drums - when we laid down the framework to our Grammy-nominated platinum album 'Rust In Peace'. I want to thank the other members of Lamb Of God for allowing this opportunity to take place for all of us in the metal community."

Bassist David Ellefson adds, "Chris has been an endearing friend to us in Megadeth for many years now, and he truly appreciates our music and its legacy. His drumming has forged such an innovative and ferocious path for metal music and I'm very proud that he is anchoring our rhythm section with us on this new album. I can clearly see a new dawn of 'utmost heaviness' unfolding in Megadeth's next chapter."

Adler expressed his excitement about working with a group that inspired his own musical direction. "Megadeth was the game changer for me," he explains. "Growing up, there was no other band that meant as much to my musical interest and direction. There is no doubt I would not be doing what I have been doing for the past three decades had I not stumbled across 'Killing Is My Business' and the bible of all metal, 'Peace Sells' in my formative years. About 10 years ago, Lamb Of God toured with Megadeth and I was able to share that story with Dave and David, and we have kept in touch ever since.

"When Dave called me a while ago and asked if I was interested in making a thrash metal album with him, I felt like I must've been on a hidden camera show. I was trying to play it cool, but I was speechless other than YES! Once I called my wife and my band guys to let everyone know, I had some time to really think about it and how I can best fit into this situation. I'm coming into this on fire." Read more here.

The Who May Make New Album

(Radio.com) The Who are reportedly in talks to make a new record. Roger Daltrey revealed that his bandmate Pete Townshend is already at work in the studio, in a new interview with Rolling Stone.

"I know that Pete wants to make another record," he said. "He's just talking about it. I've heard a couple of tracks, which are great." Daltrey isn't ruling it out, especially since he and Townshend have rekindled their friendship over the years, leading up to their recent 50th anniversary tour.

"After all the testosterone of youth, all of the problems and middle age and drugs and losing people we love, in the end you suddenly realize you deeply love each other," Daltrey said. 'We are like brothers. Family is like that, aren't they? One minute you love them, the next minute you can't stand them. But as soon as it looks like they're not going to be around, they're knocking on the door."

While Daltrey revealed that the band's anniversary tour will likely be their last string of shows on that level, he talked about the future of the band's live performance, saying that perhaps they'd embark on an acoustic tour. Read more here.

Carcass React To 'Laughable And Embarrassing' Country Ban

(TeamRock Radio) Carcass have been forced to cancel a trip to Malaysia after government officials banned them from entering the country. The move affects a planned appearance in May - and comes a year after the band performed in the country without incident or intervention.

Carcass say in a statement: "Sorry, Malaysia. Seems like your government haven't updated their calendars to the 21st century. We've had our visas declined on the basis of our 'lyrical content'. Laughable and embarrassing."

Bill Steer and co add a note for officials: "If you're reading this you're too late, we already 'corrupted' your youth and played Kuching last year." Read more here.

Queen Manager's Freddie Mercury Movie Joke Taken Seriously

(Classic Rock) Reports that Queen's Freddie Mercury biopic was back on track with Sacha Baron Cohen leading the production are the result of a joke, guitarist Brian May has reported.

The band's manager Jim Beach did say Cohen had returned to the project after departing in 2013. But his quotes at a manager's convention on Thursday were meant in jest.

May says via his website: "Jim said that, in response to enquiries about progress on the Freddie film, that Sacha Baron Cohen had been re-engaged to write, produce and direct - as well as starring in all four major roles!

"I'm afraid some folks might have taken it seriously." Read more here.

Slayer's Tom Araya Reflects On Making Album Without Hanneman

(Classic Rock) Slayer frontman Tom Araya still can't get used to working without late guitarist Jeff Hanneman, he's admitted. The band are in the process of mixing and mastering their 11th album - their first without the co-founding guitarist, who died in 2013 after a two-year absence with health issues.

It was previously revealed that one track on the follow-up to 2009's World Painted Blood was written before Hanneman's death, and features his playing.

Araya tells Revolver: "The whole process of his album started three years ago, when Jeff was still a part of it. The track was completely done, except we hadn't finalised the vocals for it. So we're fortunate to have something he had participated in."

A total of 13 songs have been laid down by Araya, Kerry King, Gary Holt and Paul Bostaph, although it's likely only 10 will appear. Slayer have still to decide on the album title, artwork and other details.

Araya reflects: "Ever since Jeff's passing it's been just odd and strange - because he's never going to be there again, you know? Even when we were doing stuff without him while he was still alive, that felt strange. I missed him during the process. But the way things turned out, I think he was definitely a part of it, even if he wasn't there physically." Read more here.

Photo Of Kim Fowley's Corpse On Magazine Cover

(TeamRock Radio) Fetish magazine Girls And Corpses have granted eccentric rock icon Kim Fowley his dying wish to be a cover star. The former manager of The Runaways who also wrote co-wrote songs with Kiss and Alice Cooper died aged 75 in January after a long battle with cancer.

It was reported after his death that Fowley had expressed an interest in appearing on the cover and indicated he wanted former girlfriend Snow Mercy to be involved in the photoshoot. However, publishers were unable to contact her and now claim they've gone ahead and given the icon his final wish.

They say in a statement: "This is a truly historic moment in publishing because it is the first time a corpse has been photographed in a body bag with a fetish model and put on a magazine cover.

"We also have the last mad writings of Kim Fowley which we have exclusively published in this diseased issue and it will make your head spin and pop off." See the cover here.

Porcupine Tree's Gavin Harrison Tried To Avoid Cheese On New Album

(Prog) Porcupine Tree and King Crimson drummer Gavin Harrison says he was careful to avoid sounding cheesy on his upcoming solo album. Harrison issues Cheating The Polygraph on April 13 via Kscope. It features reimagined, big band versions of eight classic Porcupine Tree songs.

The idea first came about in 2009 when he was asked to take part in a memorial concert for the late drum icon Buddy Rich. Rich's daughter Cathy planted the seed for what eventually became Cheating The Polygraph.

Harrison tells MusicRadar: "Cathy said to me, 'You're welcome to play any of Buddy's tunes, of course, but what would be really fun is if you did a song from your band.'

"My band's music isn't anything like Buddy's, obviously, so I thought about it, and then I got together with Laurence Cottle, a big band arranger, to see what might work.

"I told Laurence, 'I don't want this to be funny. It couldn't be comedy, cheesy, 'rock does swing' or anything like that. I thought it should be serious music. We went with that approach, and it came out great." Read more here.

He adds of Holy War: "I was really pissed off at Dave. He kept messing with me, and I got pissed off and played that solo. You can hear it's like, 'F*** you, Dave!'" Read more and listen to the track here.

Adimiron Release Animated 'Ayahuasca' Video

Adimiron have released an animated music video for the song "Ayahuasca." the track comes from their fourth studio album, "Timelapse," which was released in November of last year. We were sent these details about the new video:

Named after the hallucinogenic brew used by indigenous tribes of South America that allows them to commune with the 'spirits' and even to travel to different dimensions, the band describes ayahuasca as "the perfect concept for the final track of Timelapse, which was born with the desire to gradually carry the listener on a mystical and visual journey to the end of the album."

Czech artist Monika Janouchova, responsible for the "Ayahuasca" video animations, states: "'Ayahuasca is an inspiring song. It has the power to take us to unreal places, and I just wanted to transform its potential into images.

"Each scene and situation brings us, together with the music, to a long surreal trip. Our mind opens and we are enabled to see more...It's like a vivid dream in which we cannot tell whether it is real or not and if everything will be normal once woken up."

Ozzy Osbourne's Infamous Haircut Minimation Video Released

(Radio.com) In Radio.com's Minimation, where they comb through the archives of legendary New York radio station WNEW-FM and animate interviews with legendary rock artists, they revisit a 1987 interview where Ozzy Osbourne explains why he'd gotten a crew cut a few years earlier.

In the 1980s, being shocking was part of Ozzy Osbourne's bag of tricks. There was the bats, the doves, not to mention lots of drugs and alcohol. But one of the most shocking things he did, at least as far as the metal community was concerned, was to cut his hair. And he was asked about that in this interview (by which point, his long locks had returned).

"At the end of the tour, I was so down and miserable," he said, and he decided to go on a road trip across America. Of course, that's easier said than done if you're the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne.

He, quite reasonably, figured that if he cut his hair, no one would recognize him. And to hear him tell it, his trip - which took him to Toronto, Minneapolis, Seattle and Los Angeles, undisturbed by fans.

Singled Out: The Breton Sound's Illuminate

Today The Breton Sound singer and guitarist Jonathan Pretus tells us about the song "Illuminate" from their forthcoming EP "Don't Be Afraid of Rock & Roll, Vol. 1." Here is the story:

"Illuminate" is one of those songs that just kind of fell out of the sky and into our laps one day during a rehearsal. Just playing with melody and different feels, it just appeared. Within about 15 minutes, the bones of everything was there, melody, arrangement moods. Some of my favorite songs happen like that, just a lightening quick moment of inspiration.

We've been playing it live for a while and it's always gotten a great response. Our bassist Joe [Bourgeois] was kind of a hero on this record. He joined the band a week before we went to Ardent Studios to start working on the record. He learned the song as we'd been doing it, but once we got working in the studio, he really rebuilt the part completely and put a great groove into it that wasn't there before.

The lyric of the song is about feeling trapped, frustrated, and beat down where you are, and looking to that person next to you that you love and saying "wouldn't it be great to just run away and get the hell out of here together?" There's a real tension in the verses musically, especially in the 2nd verse where the drums, bass and guitar lock in a driving, pushing groove, and then as it gets to the chorus (the escape), the playing opens up, it's a really neat movement we put together that we're really proud of.

This was the first song we did for this EP, and the first thing we recorded in Studio A at Ardent. It's the room where all the Big Star records were done, which are some of my favorite albums. I actually ended up using the old Hi Watt amp and cabinet that was used on "Radio City" and "Third", which was a thrill in and of itself, but it's one of the best sounding guitar tones I've ever had. That room has an amazing vibe and sound, and we tracked live in there, so the energy really comes out in the recording. It's one of the best things we've ever done, and we're so proud of how it came out.

As a side note, playing this song live taught me a great lesson. A few people had come up to me and said how much they liked our song "Lemonade." The first time I heard that, I had to stop and think about what they were talking about it. Then I realized that maybe I ought to annunciate better when I sing.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the album right here!
