NEW Music releases are virtually non-existent this time of year so I may not be doing many of these betwixt now and early 2014. There are a couple I want to highlight though. Are you putting together a list of your favorites from 2013? I am...

I didn't post last week for this feature so I'm combining two weeks in one. This time of year gets pretty sparse for NEW releases anyway but we will have some awesome greatest hits, live and expanded editions of albums you already have. YES...

Just a hair prior to the one-year anniversary of singer Mitch Lucker's tragic death, Suicide Silence will enter the studio during the week of Nov. 4 to record their next album. The new disc will be the first to feature new vocalist Eddie Hermida (ex-All Shall Perish) and is sure to be a landmark moment in the band's career. Producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, the Dillinger Escape Plan, Warbringer) w

Testament guitarist Eric Peterson shows off his vocal chops on the new song 'Dreamland.' It's a collaboration with Celtic metal singer Leah, and appears on her new EP 'Otherworld,' which was released yesterday (Oct. 31). The EP is available at iTunes, and you can listen to the track 'Dreamland' here.

As you well know, music is released on Tuesdays (for the most part) but I typically post about New Music Tuesday on Wednesday so I can have some time to check out the week's new releases and maybe unearth something cool from a band I didn't know before...

As of March 10, 2013, Tool's debut EP, 'Opiate,' is now old enough to legally drink in the United States. To commemorate the 21st anniversary of 'Opiate,' Tool are set to re-release the EP on March 26 with a limited-edition string of CDs along with new artwork from guitarist Adam Jones. In a new interview with Jones, the guitarist talks about writing and recording 'Opiate,' how the album holds up

The Dillinger Escape Plan are ramping up to their latest album, 'One of Us Is the Killer,' by delivering a new track 'Prancer' for fans to check out.

All signs point not just to a full recovery and return to the road for Eddie Van Halen, but some forthcoming new music, as well. The guitarist, who was sidelined by a nasty case of diverticulitis last year, has posted a photo to Facebook of himself in the studio.

The list of January 2013 new music releases prove it's shaping up to be a Happy New Year indeed for classic rock fans. Some of our favorite groups and artists are kicking off the year with a bang, and though it's not exactly "out with the old, in with the new" -- this is classic rock, after all, so it's more like "update the old, in with the remasters" -- we're still getting so

Buckcherry are back with the sort of blistering high-energy honesty that we've come to expect from the band.

Our August 2012 New Music Releases calendar features the long-awaited return of Lynyrd Skynyrd, who are back with a new studio album filled with fresh material.
