As part of the promotion for their 2014 release ‘Monuments To An Elegy’, The Smashing Pumpkins have issued a new video for ‘Being Beige’, which can be watched in full below.
‘Monuments To An Elegy’ – the fourth part of the Pumpkins’ ‘Teargarden By Kaleidyscope’ song-cycle was released in December 2014 [full review here]. A new album is expected in the first half of 2015.
Hardcore punk/metalcore band Cancer Bats have confirmed a huge run of dates for a 2015 tour. Stretching from March until May, the Canadian band will visit various countries with Until She Sleeps and Exalt. All confirmed dates are listed below.
Following the return of vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan, Corrosion of Conformity went back into the studio. A new album is due at some point this year.
Before that, the band return to the UK for a short run of dates in March:

February 2015 sees the release of ‘Now Your Ships Are Burned’, a four CD anthology of work recorded by Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. The set covers his years with Polydor Records from 1984-1990.
The set will be a domestic budget priced reissue of the previously Japanese only collection which included the first six albums. Like similar sets from Saxon (‘The Carrere Years’) and Tangerine Dream (‘The Virgin Years’), the length of the albums is such that six releases can easily be condensed into a 4CD package.
