Another new video interview with progressive metal god Devin Townsend has been posted on YouTube.

The 15 minute chat with Metalluminati took place in San Francisco on September, during the Epic Kings & Idols Tour which features Townsend alongside Katatonia and Paradise Lost.

The complete video has been embedded below.

‘Epicloud’, Devin’s new studio album, is released on InsideOut Music on September 18th in the US and September 24th in Europe. A special edition CD includes a bonus disc, while a vinyl edition includes an exclusive bonus track. Those who care not for the idea that an album is an artform and only want mp3s will get two extra demos if purchasing from iTunes.

Alternative rock/ska legends Fishbone are on the road again before the end of the year. In addition to a run of US shows, the band are also set to play two UK shows and a long run of dates in France, as part of a two and a half month trek.

Traveller, raconteur and sometime musician Henry Rollins recently appeared on the Danko Jones Podcast. This resulted in over forty minutes of new Rollins interview material which can be heard via the stream below.

Rollins is now 51. The one time Black Flag frontman has not recorded any new music for approximately a decade now, preferring instead to travel, seeing parts of the world some of us will never see. In 2011, he released a photographic book, ‘Occupants’, detailing parts of his many adventures. The book forms the most recent chapter in Henry’s already extensive library of writings and journals.

UK alternative/math rock band Antlered Man have confirmed more European live dates, as follows:

What’s more, they’re currently working on a follow-up to their ‘Giftes 1&2’ album [review here] and also have a new video clip which you can view below.
