Day in Rock Part 2

Video From AC/DC With Axl Rose Hamburg Show Goes Online

Guitarist Olof Morck says: "We have entered Top Floor studios with Jakob Herrman in Gothenburg to record our fourth album. It is extremely exciting to be back in the creative zone after spending two years traveling the whole world in support of Massive Addictive.

It was originally due to launch this month, but the band decided to push the release back to ensure they delivered the best product they possibly could.

They say in a statement: "We have been quite overwhelmed by the amount of pre-orders we have received. It's very humbling to know that you lovely lot have faith in what we are trying to do. You really are a special and wonderful, bunch.

The follow-up to 2012's Dead End Kings launched earlier this month - and Renkse credits new members guitarist Roger Ojersson and drummer Daniel 'Mojjo' Moilanen for helping in the recording process.

He tells Metal Underground: "It was the first album to feature our new drummer Daniel Moilanen. This recording was actually one of the smoothest we have had so far. The vision was strong and we all worked hard to reach the goal that we had set up for ourselves.

"Lyrically my aim is always to make them go hand in hand with the music, so every song needs to be as complete as possible before I finalize the lyrics - but it's pretty much the same topics I have always used: contrasts, darkness, the inner struggle that we all can relate to from time to time.

The six-minute production tells the story of a small bird that lives on a beach, and must challenge herself to find food while avoiding treacherous waves. It will be screened before Finding Dory, the full-length sequel to 2003's Finding Nemo.

This week, Bowie's son Duncan Jones appeared on the Nerdist podcast and explained that before his father died, they both had time to connect and make peace with the icon's failing health.

"I'm OK, I'm good," he said. "I was very fortunate, we got a chance to say our goodbyes. It's a weird one for me, I don't really know how to talk about it or what to say about it - other than the fact that we got a chance to say our goodbyes.

Motorhead mainman Lemmy was quick to loan Maines one of his Rickenbacker basses, saving the day for the US rockers. Lemmy died in December of last year, just days after being diagnosed with cancer.

Hval says: "Blood Bitch is also a fictitious story, fed by characters and images from horror and exploitation films of the 70s. With that language, rather than smart, modern social commentary, I found I could tell a different story about myself and my own time - a poetic diary of modern transience and transcendence."

The move to a bigger venue will allow the addition of a string of new features, including a Motorhead Museum which includes the band's Bomber lighting rig, which featured on the cover of 1981 live album No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith and has dominated their live production since the late 70s.

They say: "Opeth are pleased to announce a new European Tour that will start this November in their home country's capital of Stockholm. Keep an eye out for a handful of other dates to be announced soon."

Some fans have questioned why VIP packages include general admission tickets for some venues, while others require fans with VIP passes to also buy a general admission ticket.

Keyboard player Joakim Svalberg explains: "Some promoters allowed the VIP seller GA tickets so this is included in the Milan package for instance and some promoters did not allow GA tickets so those shows require a GA ticket purchase on top.
