Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gary Rossington Suffers Heart Attack

The Statesman Journal reports Castronovo, 51, pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree assault constituting domestic violence, two counts of menacing constituting domestic violence, unlawful use of a weapon and coercion.

The drummer received a suspended sentence and four years of probation after pleading guilty in court on Monday. While on probation, Castronovo cannot enter into a romantic relationship without permission from his probation officer, use controlled substances or alcohol, contact the victim, leave Oregon or enter into any bars unless for employment purposes, among other things.

Following their show at The Forum on April 15, the group will now perform at the famed venue on April 16. The Iron Maiden Fan Club presale for the April 16 show starts on October 14 and tickets go on sale to the general public on October 17.

The Atlanta band announced that the cancellation was "due to a personal family matter", which Sanders is now sharing with fans. "Although I generally keep to myself and am very private with my personal life, I recognize this as something bigger than me and needs to be shared," posted the bassist on the group's social media sites.

"My wife Jeza was diagnosed with breast cancer in July of this year. She has already begun treatment and her prognosis is very, very good. Early detection saved her life! It may save your life, too. Please encourage the ladies in your life to get screened today."

On November 12 at The Forum in London, scenes from the movie will be shown at a fan event while star Henry Rollins and Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes will appear live on stage alongside the Gutterdammerung band. After the screening, a Q&A will be held, with Tagemose, Rollins and Hughes taking part.

The film's synopsis reads: "Much in the tradition of classic movies of 1920s Hollywood, the film is mostly silent but instead of a lone piano, a live rock band express the emotions and action while special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience.

"Think of a deafening rock'n'roll version of Secret Cinema taking place in hell and you might just begin to have an idea of what Gutterdammerung is."

A spokesman for North Wales Police tells the Daily Post: "We can confirm that this matter has been investigated fully and no further action is being taken."

They've been working on tracks for the follow-up to 2013's Now What since last year, with bassist Roger Glover confirming they'd been holding writing sessions in Spain.

Both bands have been on tour together across North America this summer, and the Leppard man and the Californian outfit have decided to get together to record a song tentatively titled Save That Goodness.

Sullivant will be playing with singer/guitarist Parker Gispert and drummer Julian Dorio for the first time since 2006 when they take the stage for the special anniversary show on January 23, 2016 at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Ga.

Gispert had the following to say, "Holy moly we are so pumped to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our debut album. The 40 Watt may well be America's greatest club and we plan on bringing the rock to Athens, Ga., the city that gave us our start."

The current lineup of the group, featuring Gispert, Dorio and Timothy Deaux, have announced a special two night engagement at Aisle 5 in Atlanta on December 18th and 19th which will feature a career spanning set list that the band plans to film and record for a forthcoming live release.

The short North American trek will be kicking off on December 11th in Boulder, CO at the Boulder Theater and concluding on December 20th in Fresno, CA at the Woodward Rotary Amphitheatre.

He's previously streamed the tracks Tomorrow Seems So Far Away and Almost Gone. The album reflects on Trout's battle with liver disease and the transplant that saved his life.

Danzig says: "These are my skeletons. You may or may not know that I dig these songs. You could say that some of this music is the actual basis and skeleton of what I listened to growing up - ultimately informing the kind of music I like.

"It's the foundation. If you took Elvis and Sabbath out of my life, I probably wouldn't be the Glenn Danzig you know. I'm glad both sides are represented on this record."

Vocalist Ashley Costello recently told Metal Hammer that her approach to songwriting has changed dramatically over the years - and admitted she had a "love-hate relationship" with the process.

She said: "In the early days, I wrote a lot about heartbreak, breaking up with your boyfriend, the typical stuff. Then a year or two ago it was more about family. My dad is estranged, so I finally opened up about that in Let Me Down.

Von Hausswolff says: "Evocation is a poetic journey into a memory. It's about trying to understand a place better by remembering its history. It's about the terror, fascination and beauty that comes with the recollection of the past."

She'll also tour in support of the follow-up to 2012's Ceremony, with nine December dates planned including a show at London's Oslo on the 8th of the month.

The Tool and A Perfect Circle frontman tells Metal Hammer: "From the time we started recording our first album until we released it, the industry disappeared.

"So Puscifer, as an independent band, we've fought an uphill battle to develop an identity. Because there's no longer that machine to plop us in front of you to say 'this is a thing.'

"You don't see it because there's no longer that beaten-path formula. We're not in Billboard, so we don't exist. We don't exist to most people because we don't appear in those boring, archaic spaces."

"We are very happy to be debuting our new single, Born To Be Free, through Metal Hammer UK," says band leader Yoshiki. "We are excited and very pleased with how the new album is going and the single is a really good taster. As soon as I started composing Born To Be Free, I knew it was going to be a special song for X Japan. We want people to interpret the song as a reflection of their personal journey. All of us are born free to dream what we want without any limits."

Born To Be Free is taken from the band's forthcoming album - their first in 20 years - which will be released on March 11 2016 and is the follow-up to 1996's Dahlia. The album was recorded at Yoshiki's home studio in Los Angeles and mixed by engineer Chris Lord-Alge, who has previously worked with the likes of Prince, Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.

It'll be their first work since the death of founder Daevid Allen. Meanwhile, Gong have named the support acts for their UK tour which kicks off on October 20 at Bilston's Robin 2. That night's show will feature Progoctopus and Here & Now, while Teeth Of The Sea will be in support for the October 21 date at London Dingwalls.

The San Francisco Bay Area thrash heroes kick off the trek in Birmingham on February 26 and follow up the British Isles leg with shows in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany.

Speaking to Metal Hammer about the songs, vocalist Jim Grey says the song is dedicated to "those we've lost." He says, "It's a reminder not to dwell in mourning and melancholy, but to celebrate life in all its fragility.

The song is the lead track from Cornell's recently issued fourth solo album, "Higher Truth." The follow-up to 2009's "Scream" was recorded earlier this year in Seattle with producer Brendan O'Brien.

The official video for the single - directed by Jessie Hill - sees Cornell make his acting debut in a Wild West setting alongside cameos by Eric Roberts (Runaway Train, Heroes, The Expendables) and W. Earl Brown (Deadwood).
