Taking on the next leg of their ‘Supercollider’ tour, Megadeth have announced a run of US dates shared with industrial metal titans Fear Factory.
The confirmed US dates for November/December can be seen below, but since it’s not too long since Megadeth crossed the pond, fans in the UK/Europe seem unlikely to witness this touring union in 2014.
Tying in with their current tour, The Boomtown Rats’ first six studio albums are released at the end of October as a mid-priced box set.
Each of the six discs are housed in card sleeves depicting full album artwork, while each one also features bonus tracks as presented on the previous issues*.
At the time of this EPs release, it barely feels like weeks have passed since Tintagel’s finest alternative rockers Dead Wolf Club released their second album, ‘RAR’. …And yet, with boundless enthusiasm, they’ve found time between touring that release to record more new material. Their first release for the independent Big Tea Records, most of ‘Healer’ represents their best material yet. Within the grooves of the green and white twelve inches of plastic – or somewhere within the soul-less digital file, if you’re reading this and under thirty – DWC bring more howls of rage, more shimmering guitars and thunderous rhythms disguised by bursts of feedback, and for those who liked them previously, there’s much more to like here than ever.
Ahead of his biggest ever headling tour, folk-punk troubadour Frank Turner has released a video clip for his song ‘Oh Brother’, which can now be seen in full below.
In the 1990s, a deluxe edition (or special edition) album invariably meant a double disc set, ie: the original release plus bonus disc of rarities, b-sides and/or live tracks. In the 21st century, the big record companies have really expanded on this concept, with the “deluxe edition” now meaning multi-disc packages, in some cases retailing at a three-figure price point.
