Wednesday, October 14, 2020 ... EUROPE has announced "Friday Nights with Europe the Band," a series of broadcasts beginning October 16th and running every Friday through November 27th via the band’s YouTube channel (europethebandtv) and social media sites. Included will be special re-recordings of some of the band's biggest hits, recorded individually during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also to be featured are the band's 2013 Sweden Rock Festival headline performance and their 2016 The Final Countdown 30th Anniversary show recorded at London's Roadhouse. Says Europe vocalist Joey Tempest: “We wanted to do something special for our fans and rock enthusiasts. We have re-recorded and filmed some uplifting songs from our back catalog, done during lockdown and over the summer in our home studios and rehearsal spaces. We had a blast just playing together again. Knowing we would start up our 'Friday Nights With Europe The Band' on our social media this autumn made it extra special. We hope to keep these exclusive evenings going for our fans for a long time. At the same time, keeping our name out there during this non-touring era by streaming and posting exclusive material. Let the madness begin!” Schedule follows below: October 16th – Live At Sweden Rock 2013, Headline performance featuring guests, Michael Schenker and Scott Gorham – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK October 23rd - Europe exclusive session 1 – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK October 30th - Europe exclusive session 2 – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK November 6th - Europe exclusive session 3 – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK November 13th - Europe exclusive session 4 – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK November 20th - Europe exclusive session 5 – 11:00 am PT/ 2:00 pm ET/ 7:00 pm UK November 27th – The Final Countdown 30th Anniversary show 2016, captured at London’s Roundhouse.

The legendary Eddie Van Halen has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family ... Thursday, October 01, 2020 ... IRON MAIDEN will release "Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City." The long-named release will be available beginning November 20th and will also be available in a Limited Edition set that includes a limited edition Mexican flag with triple-colored vinyl discs. Says the band's Steve Harris: "When the final leg of our 2020 'Legacy' tour this summer had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the whole band was very disappointed and deflated and we know our fans felt the same. We'd been really looking forward to bringing the show to even more countries and although we've been able to reschedule most of our European own-shows for 2021, we thought we'd take a listen to the recordings from the tour so far and see if we could create a definitive live album souvenir that everyone, everywhere could enjoy. I'm very pleased with the results, especially as this set list includes songs which have never made it to a live CD before, such as 'For The Greater Good Of God' and other older songs like 'Where Eagles Dare', 'Flight Of Icarus', 'The Clansman' and 'Sign Of The Cross', which haven't been included in our live set releases for many years. We've never released a live album from Mexico before and I think this recording does justice to the passion and joy of our Mexican fans who always give us such a fantastic welcome whenever we play there." ...

The single is from the band’s new 40th Anniversary album, “Fields of Blood,” which will be available on May 29th. Says frontman Chris Boltendahl: "With ‘Thousand Tears’, we pay homage to the unforgettable Queen of Scotland, Mary Stuart. Noora from Battle Beast gives Queen Mary an incredible, warm and fragile atmosphere through her voice which, at the end of the song, turns into pure anger and despair. We couldn't have found a better voice for this song! One of the best ballads Grave Digger has ever written, maybe the best of our entire career." Add Noora: "It’s an honor to do a collaboration with the legendary Grave Digger and I’m very intrigued by the Scottish-themed songs they’ve done. Now I will also be part of their historical song ‘Thousand Tears’ as the voice of Queen Mary. I hope all listeners can hear the big emotions and get a little glimpse of her story as one of most powerful women that lived in her time." Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/hGPpsU8T8kc ...

WITCHSKULL will release their new album, “A Driftwood Curse,” on April 24th through Rise Above Records. Says drummer Joel Green of the new album: “We talked a lot about making a record that had a live energy that was also well crafted. We did two separate lots of pre-production recording and spent a lot of time rehearsing and writing. We tried to focus on melody and strong arrangements without losing track of our sound. And it was the same lyrically. Marcus wrote and delivered the lyrics on this record better than ever before, in my opinion. He wanted to have more storylines this time around and, as always, the lyrics need to have deep meaning for him. His lyrics often come from fragments of conversations, thoughts and observations, and through his belief that patterns and waves of sound are intertwined with the environment. Being aware of that allows you to write from within, without interference from the rational conscience.” … Wednesday, April 08, 2020 … You have to love an artist who’s been called the “Godfather of Spaghetti Rock,” and that’s why it’s exciting that ROMANO NERVOSO will release his new album, “The Return of the Rocking Dead,” on April 10th.

Check out an introduction to the new album from the band at https://youtu.be/_XMWVUQ93io. You can also check out a video for the first single, “Prosthetic,” at https://youtu.be/4EmbYo65Pbs. Says the band about the single: “’Prosthetic’ was the first song we completed during the ‘Virus’ writing sessions and we always felt it would be the perfect opener for the album. It’s a very guitar heavy track with its roots in 80s thrash riffing, but with the unconventional rhythmic twists and turns we often like to explore in Haken. We sadly never had a Jeff Hanneman and Robert Fripp collaboration, but this song at least draws on inspiration from them both!” … Friday, April 03, 2020 … THE RETICENT has released their new single, a cover of Metallica’s classic TUNE “Fade To Black.” The new track will be featured on the band’s new album, “The Oubliette,” due out later this year on Heaven & Hell Records. Says the band’s Chris Hathcock about the choice of doing the cover: “The original is a timeless classic, but in listening to it I thought that perhaps the sadness of the words were somewhat attenuated by the catchy and driving riffs. It thematically fell right in line with the over concept of ‘The Oubliette’ as that blanket of loneliness and despair can fall over the suicidal and Alzheimer’s patients alike. I decided to reduce the instrumentation as much as possible to increase that sense of isolation and only used effects to increase the atmosphere. Minimalist and empty sounding like a hospital room. The result hopefully draws more attention to the stark hopelessness in the lyrics. The distance and atmosphere in the track are meant to feel not just isolated, but almost ghostly - as if we are hearing the baleful thoughts of a man void of hope trapped in a hospital bed.” Check out the new single at https://youtu.be/h4rUYRcVbys ... Monday, March 30, 2020 …The new video from AFTERMATH is a cover of the classic JOHN LENNON song, “Give Peace a Chance.” Says the band: "When we decided to cover ‘Give Peace a Chance’ it was meant to be a call for peace with a known enemy in a traditional war. It has now evolved into a call for peace among individuals, not just nations, as things get worse for the world in the days and months ahead. John Lennon’s urgent call for peace in ‘Give Peace a Chance’ is more important today than ever, and our call for peace with this cover is the perfect message to follow up our previous album. We released a dark concept album with a bleak message and felt it was important to follow that up with something positive. The visuals in the video are as important as the lyrics in a way. We live in a visual world today and this video needed to get out the message of HOPE. Having a young girl be the focus of the video was our way of getting that across. Seeing only positive acts when she puts on Lennon’s famous glasses was the perfect visual metaphor. Lennon’s message is transmitted not only through his lyrics but also through the perspective created by his unique lenses.” You can check out the video, directed by Steven Nathan, at https://youtu.be/maSlYQ5W5qI ...

The Chicago rockers also remind music fans to continue to support musicians by listening to streaming services, watching videos on YouTube, and buying merchandise online to support their favrorites. Says the band’s Rawrb: "We recently started poking around at the idea of performing over the internet, live, all while interacting with the fans and viewers. Our amazing fans showed up and supported us right back, and it's so amazing that this sort of thing can be done in such strange times. Any band can do this, and I encourage those performers out there who are unable to tour or play regular shows to look into live streaming. You just might surprise yourself at how well you'd do." Adds Joshy: "If people can't go out to shows, then we'll come to them in their homes... so heat up a bowl of ramen noodles and let's have some damn fun.
