Welsh legend Tom Jones is to have two new songs released via Jack White’s Third Man Records.

Jones recorded a new version of ‘Jezebel’ and a cover of Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘Evil’ during a session at White’s Nashville Studio. It is said the recordings will see release as a 7″, but as yet, no release date has been set.

The 7″ will likely be released as part of White’s ‘Blues Club’ series, which in 2011 featured a 7″ of Jack White collaborating with the supposedly controversial* Insane Clown Posse**.

*There’s nothing controversial about a couple of middle aged blokes in clown-face stomping up and down spouting misogynistic tat. It’s just sad. Also, there’s nothing insane about spraying teenage boys with soda pop.
** Surely it requires more than two people to make a ‘posse’?

French progressive/math metal band released a new track this week. The first release to feature new vocalist Alex, ‘Reality Deformed’ also features guest vocals from Jay Berast of Aliases. The track paves the way for a forthcoming EP due sometime in the spring.

‘Reality Deformed’ can be downloaded for free from Beyond The Dust’s bandcamp page. To visit, click the artwork below.

Drummer, guitarist, songwriter and all-round good guy Dave Grohl never seems to take a day off work. Taking a break from touring with Foo Fighters for the ‘Wasting Light‘ album, he’s returned to the studio.

The first fruits of his new project is a collaboration with 80s hair metal band Ratt. It is said the track will be part of an upcoming release. Grohl remains tight-lipped at this stage, but Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy seems somewhat excited.

Back in 2004 Grohl helmed an all-star release under the name of Probot, which saw the ex-Nirvana star jamming with various metal icons including Max Cavalera, Celtic Frost’s Tom G Warrior and longtime friend Lemmy.

REAL GONE says: Although Dave’s plans are somewhat under wraps at present, we hope this Ratt collaboration is the beginning of another Probot-styled release with lots of 80s glam bands in tow!
