SixFeetUnder-GraveyardClassicsIV

On May 27th, SIX FEET UNDER will release, via Metal Blade Records, the fourth installment of their Graveyard Classics series, this time paying tribute to two of metal’s most heralded legends: Iron Maiden and Judas Priest! Entitled “Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest” and mixed by Jesse Kirkbride at Kirkbride Recordings in Cape Coral, FL, the album is comprised of five Judas Priest covers (side A), and six Iron Maiden covers (side B), handpicked by Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel. For a preview of the record, DecibelMagazine.com is now streaming the cover version of “Murders in the Rue Morgue”, alongside an exclusive interview with front-man Chris Barnes: decibelmagazine.com

Chris Barnes comments: “Achtung Motherfuckers!!! Today we release ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’, a ‘Killer’ track (pun intended) from our upcoming album, ‘Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest‘, for your listening pleasure!! Hope you enjoy it!! Hope the haters choke on it, choke on it, choke on it…Also in other Six Feet Under news – Graveyard Classics The Tour will be invading your European community this summer, be sure to check these dates off on your calendar…This will be the first and only time we will be playing an entire set list of cover songs – something we haven’t done before – so come experience something groovy and brutal motherfuckers! See you soon, Europe! Love, Dad.”

For another preview, fans can hear the first track – Six Feet Under‘s cover of “Invader” – at: metalblade.com/sixfeetunder , where the album can also be pre-ordered in various formats. The second single, “Never Satisfied”, can be heard here: soundcloud.com

In regards to this new serving of death metal tributes, Chris Barnes asserts: “Get ready to have your ears violated and your mind blown! ‘Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest‘ just crawled out of the Heavy Metal Cemetery! Having a good time playing music is what it’s always been about since day one, and that’s what the ‘Graveyard Classics‘ albums are to me… a good fucking time! On this trip down memory lane, we cover songs from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden; the two greatest metal bands of all time. Ray Alder from Fates Warning did a guest background vocal appearance on ‘Invader’, our first single. Ray is a great friend, and an awesome vocalist, and I felt our differences in styles blended well together for the middle section and added some harmony to the rawness.
I hope you all enjoy the band’s twist on these legendary songs!”

ROCK AND ROLL FANTASY CAMP CELEBRATES IT’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY WITH TWO AMAZING SUMMER CAMPS:

ROCK ICONS PAUL STANLEY ALONG WITH DON FELDER formerly of THE EAGLES -LOS ANGELES, JUNE 23-26, 2016 and JUDAS PRIEST -HELL BENT FOR HOLLYWOOD   August 4-7, 2016

Rock-And-Roll-Fantasy-Camp-1

As headliners at Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, attendees will jam and perform with PAUL STANLEY and members of JUDAS PRIEST at the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp facility, as well as at the legendary Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood.  They will also jam with Don Felder at the RRFC facility on some of the biggest rock and roll songs in history.

“We had such a blast last time with the fantasy camp it’s time for an encore! Four of Judas Priest are primed to bang out some more metal adventures at this one of a kind experience!” – Judas Priest

Over the course of four days, attendees will be placed into bands led by rock star counselors including Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Whitesnake), Vinny Appice (Dio, Black Sabbath) and many more.  Musicians will hone their stage presence, learn to play some of music’s greatest songs, get tips and hear stories of life on the road from their rock star counselors, attend master classes and jams rooms with these renowned musicians and then perform live with their band in front of a packed house at the infamous Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip.

“To be part of  Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp isn’t just a fantasy for the people who are here, it’s my fantasy too, it’s really a gift to me as much as anybody else” –  Paul Stanley

For more than 30 years, Paul Stanley has reigned supreme as one of the single-most recognizable front men in the history of rock and roll. He continues to be thechief songwriter, driving force and unwavering voice of KISS.

Don Felder is renowned as a former lead guitarist of The Eagles, one of the most popular and influential rock groups of our time.  A member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1998, Felder served as a member of The Eagles for 27 years. Felder originated the music and co-wrote The Eagles’ biggest hit – the iconic, Grammy-studded smash “Hotel California”.

Judas Priest has sold over 45 million albums to date. MTV ranked them the second greatest metal band of all time. This hard and heavy camp features four members of Judas Priest including vocalist Rob Halford, bassist Ian Hill, guitarist Richie Faulkner and drummer Scott Travis.

“Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp is where adults come to live their rock and roll dreams and jam with their musical heroes, and where our Jr. Rockers come to begin their rock and roll dreams.  The camp is open to all levels of musicians, vocalists, from beginners to expert. There is a spot in a band for everyone.”   David Fishof, owner of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp.

Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp is a non-competitive atmosphere designed for all levels of musicians and music enthusiasts. Participants are placed in bands with like-minded people and skill level to make for an off-the-charts experience.

About Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp

For our attendees, this is a life changing experience. Some of the campers play well and even gave up careers as musicians to become CEOs and lawyers. Some campers can’t play at all. What they all have in common is passion for rock music. At Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp they all get to pursue their passion – and meet, and play with the artists who became the soundtrack of their lives

David Fishof is the founder and creator of the famed Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp where rock dreams become reality. Past rock star camp headliners have included Jeff Beck, Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Def Leppard, and many more.

The Metal Voice Interview: MICHAEL SWEET Would Like To Produce And Sing On Next AVANTASIA Album

TheMetalVoice-MichaelSweet

Lead singer and guitarist Michael Sweet of STRYPER recently joined Jimmy Kay and Alan Dixon on Canada’s The Metal Voice to review the new album by Avantasia entitled Ghostlights and to give a first impression on the new live DVD/CD/Blu Ray by Judas Priest called Battle Cry

On Michael Sweet’s review on the new Avantasia album Ghostlights

“My first impressions, there are good and bad. The good being there is no denying the talent that is involved in that makes up the band, everybody, the musicianship levels are high, the vocals levels are high. Everything is obviously top notch in that regard . What didn’t do it for me, I guess as a producer,  I wasn’t 100% floored by the production. As I kept listening to it, I kept thinking gosh I would have loved to produced this, just to see what it would have sounded like.   My first impression it almost sounds like a modern day Meatloaf, that rock opera Jim Steinman, very complicated songs, parts and structures. I just felt like the production was lacking a little bit. I wanted to hear a little more punch, a little more crispness, it just sounded flat in that regard. ”

On Sweet’s first impression on Judas Priest’s new live album/dvd

“My first impression was how great the band sounds, how great the guitar tones sound, the drum tones. Rob being who he is and how old he is, what he has done. I’m thinking gosh this guy sounds amazing, he sounds incredible and I just love Priest. There is an energy, the minute you hear them start playing there is this energy they have that not very many bands have. So I love it, I love Priest.  For a live album for what it is it’s awesome.”
