The English band called time on their career with two final shows in Manchester and London. The video, shown before the London show, features clips captured throughout the life of the band.

Adler tells Eddie Trunk: "I did not know Kiko. We had a little rental house up in the hills - we set up and just talked for a while about music and all this different stuff.

"He told me about the solo record. He hands it to me, and the drummer is Marco Minnemann, one of these phenom drummers. just an unbelievable player. I'm like, 'How long is it going to take these guys to figure out I'm just a hack compared to these dudes?'"

Foley tells Louder Noise: "It's definitely a little different. Last time, it was really, really fast the whole way through. This one doesn't have quite the same speed to it - but it has a different kind of heaviness to it. A little bit of moodiness to it. I don't really know how to describe it yet. But it's coming along, and we're anxiously awaiting finishing it."

Killswitch have been playing new track Strength Of The Mind at recent live shows. Foley reports: "I think that one is a good representation of stuff that we do. It wasn't crazy different from any of our stuff, so I think it was a good song to kind of ease into new material.

Raitt had the following to say about the new effort: "The response to Slipstream was such a refreshing and unexpected boost, so going into this album, I had renewed energy.

It was recorded at the Big House in Macon, Georgia, with frontman JD Simo playing the guitar Duane Allman used on the first two Allman Brothers Band albums, and on Derek And The Dominoes' classic track Layla.

They recently said: "After only 26 shows at the time of filming, Lifesigns are firing on all cylinders. The show captures one of the key performances of our first year of touring, captivating fans with a rich visual experience and pristine quality sound."

They previously released a video of them performing Watchtower On The Moon to promote the 15-track album and they've since unveiled a video of them playing Lost In Your Memory.

Keyboard player Richard West says: "We've always loved doing power ballads, ever since our early days, with tracks like Innocent and Forever. This is a ballad from our last album For The Journey and I love how it comes across live."

Pluijmers will share vocal duties with original singer Missi Avila. The new lineup of the group is currently recording their third studio album, the follow-up to 2013's "The American Dream."

Som had the following to say about joining the group, "I'm very happy to announce I'll be joining a band again after all these years, we connect and it felt good being with them on the 'try out' tours. They're a lot of fun, great, passionate, musicians and I can't wait to start my future with Your Chance To Die."

Avila added, "Som is the missing piece I never knew was missing to the band. Having her allows us to explore so much more in our music and live shows come even more to life.

Doro tells MetalSucks: "I was rehearsing with the band before, and decided to go around the corner. There was a pub and it was my first time in one. I went in and saw Lemmy sitting there smoking, with a whiskey and cola in one hand. I was just like, 'Wow!' I couldn't speak English well back then, so I was a little nervous. But we were chain-smoking and drinking - and after a while he reminded me I had to play a gig."

Doro "had such a buzz" as a result of the alcohol, and that everyone was waiting for her when she got back to the venue. "I got up with the band, and I had had so many drinks I couldn't remember the lyrics," she says. "Everyone was staring in shock - the agencies and important people - and I just sat down and waited until the band was done.
