Commented the band: “Somewhere between innocence & decadence is where you will find GRAVEYARD. Hard at work trying to figure out which apples that will fall from what tree. Can you see us? We’re that little hopeless case of a fly in denial – since forever stuck between the piles of shit that your ever repeating life keeps lining up for you.”

It’s gonna be an album filled to the rim with a little bit of this – and for all of those who might wonder or worry – there will be quite a lot of that on it as well. We’ve had a great time recording the album at the “gemytliga” Atlantis Studios in Stockholm together with Janne Hansson and Johan Lindström. And after kinda being away from our daily routine as a touring band and the thrill of a new album on its way ….. we wanna leave you with. Good to be gone, great to be back and let there be September!“ – Axel, Joakim, Jonathan & Truls aka GRAVEYARD

Electric Light Orchestra have signed a deal with Columbia Records to release their first new material in 15 years, say Prog.teamrock.com.
And mainman Jeff Lynne has vowed he’ll stick to his original values with the fresh work.
The news comes after Lynne led the first ELO concert in 30 years at London’s Hyde Park in 2014 – and later confirmed he was writing again.
In November he told Classic Rock the band were a “going concern,” adding: “It really felt nice to finally have my name in it, and not just by hiding behind those letters all the time. It gave me a lot more confidence.”
The band’s website says: “At the time of ELO’s formation, Lynne said the goal was to create modern rock and pop songs – a goal that remains true 30 years later with the creation of new material.”

QUEENSRŸCHE just launched another video for their highly anticipated new full-length offering, “Condition Hüman”, set for a release via Century Media Records on Oct 2nd.
The epic album opening track, ‘Arrow of Time,’ performed at Wacken Open Air 2015 in front of over 50K fans can be viewed here:
“Condition Hüman” is now available for pre-order! Head over to CM Distro to view all new pre-order items: http://smarturl.it/chCMDISTRO
Against the formidable obstacles of an ever-changing cultural landscape, the rise and fall of various musical trends, and the near collapse of the record industry itself, QUEENSRŸCHE secured a triumphant legacy as one of hard rock’s most respected and celebrated acts, selling 30 million albums around the world across a 30-plus-year career.
The much-anticipated new offering, “Condition Hüman”, sees LaTorre deliver the performance of a lifetime on what is now his sophomore recording effort with the band. Produced by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Sanctuary) in the band’s native Washington, “Condition Hüman” is a new mountain towering over many of the peaks and valleys of the hard rock landscape.

By now you’ve probably about the girl who faked stage three cervical cancer to get money from friends and family. You probably also heard that she fronted a hardcore band in Pennsylvania. What you probably don’t know is that she is from my hometown! Normally, Erie make the news for the amount of snow we get, but now it’s for fraud, reported Substreammagazine.com.
I personally don’t know Hali Etie, but I’ve seen a lot of people who are or were in the local music scene commenting about it. I thought instead of posting what you can easily find on another music news website, that people would be interested in knowing how musicians and fans in that music scene (which has produced such notable musicians as Patrick Monahan of Train, Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails and War of Ages) feel about this.
Hali Etie had fronted the Erie based hardcore band COUNTERFEIT, who had actually broken up in April, but got back together for the benefit show to support Etie. The flyer for the event can be found below.
Derek Ski, who was the drummer for Counterfeit and put together the show, explained the reasoning behind the benefit happening in the first place:
“I had a friend’s band from Boston coming out to do a four-day tour with my other band, and we needed a first date. Cleveland fell through and then she subsequently announced she had cancer, so I set up the show to help her out and have an opening show for the other guys.”
Archway, a band from the Jamestown and Meadville areas of Pennsylvania just simply posted on their Facebook, “Hey, don’t fake cancer.”
Rochester band Lights Out Paris, who were supposed to play the show but ended having van problems which caused them to miss it, has a very strong opinion about helping out Etie. “This is exactly what’s wrong with the music scene. To anyone that’s ever seen us live, they will tell you, we constantly preach about money-hungry fucks that want to take your money in this industry and this just goes to show why. I’m ashamed that I ever even thought to myself, ‘This girl is bad-ass fuck. A girl fronting a hardcore band that’s rad as hell, and beating cancer, talk about an inspiration.’ We’ve all been in bigger bands and find out our heroes are not always what they’re cracked up to be. So when you find heroes in smaller places, and find out truths like this, it just makes you believe heroes don’t exist at all. I know people who would kill to have their parents back or loved ones back, who have passed from cancer. I see GoFundMes all the time for people struggling to pay for chemo, who really actually mean it. She didn’t just take away from the music scene, she insulted cancer survivors and people who have lost loved ones to cancer everywhere. She’s a terrible girl and she’s dug her grave, I just hope someone makes her lie in it.”
Nathaniel Heinrich, who appears to be a regular that Erie shows according to his Facebook, posted on the benefit show’s event page, “If I knew then what I know now.”
So where does Hardcore Cares come into play, considering they’re the ones who brought the fraud to the surface for the internet world to grab onto? They threw a show for Etie on August 15 in Detroit, Michigan, which included a BBQ and bake sale.
The organization had known Etie for a while, and according to Ski, they had set up the show. “We [Counterfeit] had played a lot of shows they set up and she was tight with the owners of that organization. So they would have wanted to help her out too, as she was like a sister to them.”
In HCC’s statement that was posted on Facebook, they said, “About a week prior to the benefit show we started to see cracks in the story. Things just were not adding up. But she still had the support of key people close to her, so based on that and her presence in HCC we motored on,” via Lambgoat.
Ski says that he never really questioned the story. “I never thought anyone I called a friend would stoop that low.”
KAMELOT‘s new video ‘Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)’ featuring Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) is here! From KAMELOT‘s new album “Haven” available on Napalm Records.
The video takes off where Kamelot‘s ‘Insomnia’ video ends and takes the listener into the outside environment of this dystopian world. Where the citizen is zero and only the privileged live in a lavish lifestyle. Surveillance over society is everywhere, even a fly on the wall can be the watching eyes of the Monarchy. Only a Revolution will make a change!
Celebrate the exclusive video premiere together with KAMELOT at this location.
