They unveieled their first new album in 9 years last week in NYC at a private listening party. The so-far-untitled album is set to be released June 1st, 2010.
This is the title of the band's new compilation in honor of the Pantera's 18th Anniversary of the release of "Vulgar Display of Power" album. And from what I hear...there are some vinyl reissues in the works too....
Apparently so....the band led by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde has officially announced that they've taken on Evenescence drummer, Will Hunt. Hunt is going to be touring with the band and recording their next studio album with them. BUT he will also remain a member of Evanescence, who got back into studio recently working on a new album themselves....
Dave Mustian, via his Live Line service- where he leave phone messages that fans can listen to, says that police were called to set of a video shoot because Megadeth were using a tank in their promo film. "We're on location making the video for Right To Go Insane. We've got an M68a tank. The cops are here - it can get pretty hairy with this video shoot."
According to HeadbangerNYC.com, A Manhattan federal judge ruled last week that Ozzy Osbourne can proceed with his lawsuit against guitarist Tony Iommi over use of the Black Sabbath name. Iommi, back in May of 2009, took sole ownership of the band's name when he filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. Ozzy is now suiing for 50% interest in the "Black Sabbath" trademark, along with a portion of Iommi's profits from use of the name. The judge ruled that Ozzy's "signature lead vocals" are largely responsible for the band's "extrodinary success."
From Antimusic.com:
Mudvayne are the latest band to drum-up publicity by producing a controversial video that was guaranteed to be banned by major video outlets. Here is the official announcement about the ban: Mudvayne continues to push the envelope with the video for their second single "Beautiful and Strange" off their self-titled album Mudvayne. "Beautiful and Strange" is directed by Frankie Nasso and is the latest installment of three conceptually linked videos that were filmed to promote the band's self-titled album. "Scream With Me", the first single off the album saw great success becoming #2 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Chart. With the release of the video for "Beautiful and Strange" came the unwillingness of networks, and media sources to play the video due to its disturbing and thought provoking imagery that is meant for mature audiences. The video contains sexually explicit acts that take place in a graveyard and some scenes that involve acts of sadism that is part of a storyline that is linked to the other two videos. The exact definition of the video is left to interpretation and flows beautifully with the other two videos that complete the concept. It has been banned from every outlet except for one; the only place where this video can be seen is on the social networking site vampirefreaks.com. Mudvayne has been praised for changing the landscape of metal music through their songwriting and now they continue to broaden that landscape with their provocative new video for "Beautiful and Strange". The song is extremely dynamic and is an example of the bands technical abilities as musicians. The release of the third and final video "Heard It All Before" is set to premiere next month.
