CANNABIS CORPSE have announced a December tour. The tour kicks off on December 8 in West Virginia, and continues throughout the month. A full list of confirmed tour dates can be found below.

CANNABIS CORPSE have released a special video announcing the tour, which can be found below:

CANNABIS CORPSE are touring in support of their new album, ‘Left Hand Pass’. The album sees the band, led by the imitable Phil “LandPhil” Hall (MUNICIPAL WASTE) and his twin brother Josh “Hallhammer” Hall joined by SIX FEET UNDER guitarist Ray Suhy and his prodigious six-string talents.

Under the influence of the genre legends who preceded them, the trio give rise to unrelenting piece of crushing, weed-themed death replete with their signature, THC-fueled, horror fiction lyrics. As tracks such as “The 420th Crusade”, “Chronic Breed”, and the title track illustrate, ‘Left Hand Pass’ is another massive step-forward for the band and a monumental piece of U.S. Death Metal.

ACE FREHLEY Releases New Video “Rockin’ With The Boys”

AceFrehley_RockinWithTheBoys_web

Founding KISS guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member ACE FREHLEY has released the music video for “Rockin’ With The Boys” Filmed live in Detroit Rock City, this is the first music video we’ve seen from The Spaceman since he released the video for “Fire and Water”.

Watch the video here:

This is the second song Frehley has released this year, from his forthcoming all-new Spaceman album, due October 19, 2018, via eOne/SPV. Frehley previously released the track “Bronx Boy” in April.

Spaceman, Frehley’s eighth solo LP, features nine new original tracks, plus a cover of Eddie Money’s “I Wanna Go Back,” a ripping power pop makeover of the original.

“No need to worry, I’ll be home soon, ’cause I’m rockin’ with the boys,” Frehley sings on “Rockin’ With the Boys,” which tells the tale of life on the road. Ace says he wrote the original version of the song back in KISS’s heyday in the ’70s. Both “Rockin With The Boys” and “Bronx Boy” are available on all streaming platforms today, and are iTunes instant grat tracks for fans who preorder the album.

In addition to Ace’s distinctive guitar sound on each track, Ace played bass on all of the songs on Spaceman except for two. The listener might recognize the mighty dinosaur growl of a bass tone belonging to Gene Simmons on the album opener, “Without You I’m Nothing,” which Gene also co-wrote, and “Your Wish Is My Command.” Both songs were recorded at Frehley’s home studio in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

Ace’s reconnection with Simmons and fellow KISS vocalist-guitarist Paul Stanley (who joined Ace on a cover of Free’s “Fire and Water” for 2016’s covers LP Origins, Vol. 1) might be chalked up to the fact that Frehley has been sober for more than a decade (he celebrates 12 years of sobriety in September). Ace’s clean living no doubt has a lot to do with his productive streak, which began with the release of his Anomaly album in 2009.
Spaceman (a title suggested by Simmons, himself) serves as the first collection of all new Frehley-penned material since 2014’s Space Invader.

Widely known as the original “Space Ace” and founding guitarist for 16 cumulative years (over 2 tenures) of the multi-platinum selling rock band KISS, Frehley is demonstrably the most popular original member. In addition to having the best-selling solo album career (vintage or current) among the original foursome, Frehley’s self-titled Ace Frehley, released in 1978, went on to sell over one million copies, producing the only Top 40 single, “New York Groove,” from any of the legendary KISS solo albums (peaking at #13).

Spaceman will be released in Europe through Entertainment One (eOne)/SPV with an exclusive European cover artwork on October 19th, 2018 as CD DigiPak and LP version: https://acefrehley.lnk.to/Spaceman

Tracklisting:

1. Without You I’m Nothing 4:07
2. Rockin’ With The Boys 4:15
3. Your Wish Is My Command 3:38
4. Bronx Boy 2:51
5. Pursuit Of Rock N’ Roll 4:32
6. I Wanna Go Back 4:01

AVANTASIA To Release New Album “Moonglow” On February 1st, 2019

The wait is finally over! Tobias Sammet is pleased to announce the release of the upcoming AVANTASIA masterpiece “Moonglow” on February 1, 2019 through Nuclear Blast. Comprising 11 tracks, the new opus once again features several guest vocalists. This time round, Tobias worked not only with well-known faces such as Ronnie Atkins, Jørn Lande, Eric Martin, Geoff Tate, Michael Kiske or Bob Catley but also with new singers like Candice Night, Hansi Kürsch as well as Mille Petrozza who help to vitalize the new AVANTASIA record. Its cover artwork was created by Alexander Jansson.

Comments Tobias Sammet, “It’s alive! After more than two years of hard work – and what felt like 71 overnight shifts back to back recently – we’re ready to unleash »Moonglow« upon the universe. I believe it’s the most adorned and detailed album we’ve ever produced. Not over ambitious, but there is a lot of love for detail in there. AVANTASIA is the ultimate playground for a musician’s wildest fantasies to come true: Celtic elements, world music elements, big choirs, atmospheric stuff, amazing guest vocal performances and of course all that wrapped up in what I consider to be the typical AVANTASIA sound. Someone in the music business just told me that the embellished nature of the sound makes it hard to market it, it doesn’t fit in the contemporary musical landscape and “if you take a look around, no one really sounds like that.” – EXACTLY! THANK YOU! I can’t wait to release »Moonglow«, take my friends of the AVANTASIA family and hit the road for the big »Moonglow World Tour«.”

Tobias Sammet, hailing from Fulda, created the rock event AVANTASIA in 1999 and celebrated its live premiere in 2008. With over 3,5 million records sold, he is one of the most successful musicians from Germany and has worked with Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker (THE SCORPIONS), Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer (KISS), Eric Martin (MR. BIG) as well as many other stars from the international music business. For a long time Tobias Sammet’s AVANTASIA has been considered an insider tip. But after countless headline performances at some of the world’s largest rock festivals (Sweden Rock Festival, Québec Music Festival, Barcelona Rock Fest etc.), gold awards and several top 10 positions in the world charts, the upcoming AVANTASIA – »Moonglow World Tour 2019« can only be considered the biggest rock event of the year!

MelissaVanFleet-cover

On October 13, 2018, American alternative metal artist Melissa VanFleet released her highly anticipated and hauntingly spellbinding new project “Ode To The Dark”, available now at all major digital retailers.

“Ode To The Dark” was recorded in February 2017 at BRX Studio in Milan with the team behind Italian gothic metal band LACUNA COIL‘s 2016 album Delirium – bassist/producer Marco Coti Zelati with engineers Marco Barusso (Thirty Seconds To Mars, Coldplay), Dario Valentini and Marco D’Agostino – and features guest musician Douglas Blair of W.A.S.P. on lead guitar.

From the opening song “Raven”, released last year as a single to underground critical acclaim, to the liberating and transformative closing title track, “Ode To The Dark” consistently showcases VanFleet’s emotionally intense signature vocal delivery and powerful songwriting ability accompanied by Coti Zelati’s atmospherically dark orchestration and trademark bass tone.

Watch “Ode To The Dark Part I: RAVEN” Official Trailer here:

About Melissa: A vocalist and musician who crafts dark songs with haunting melodies and intense messages, Melissa VanFleet brings a true singer/songwriter element to alternative metal music. She has powerfully and effectively established her own unique sound by presenting her signature vocal prowess at the forefront while incorporating her classical and orchestral influences with heavy, melancholic undertones.

Watch below a special unplugged version of “Raven”:
