Former SLAYER Drummer Dave Lombardo Is Keeping Himself Busy & Stoked About His Future

For weeks already, drumming legend Dave Lombardo was ready to move out of SLAYER after the band refused to offer him a better contract (details HERE). So if there is one person who was not surprised at all in the bands decision to bring Paul Bostaph back as their full time drummer (details HERE), that person was Dave Lombardo. 

What's next for Lombardo?

During a recent interview with Greece's Rock Overdose, Lombardo confirmed that Casey Chaos from AMEN will be fronting a resurrected version of GRIP INC. A tour is in currently in the works, and the chances of a NEW GRIP INC. being recorded are very high.

You may recall that Lombardo formed GRIP INC. when he first left SLAYER in 1992. The band had been on and off since it formed, and their future was uncertain due to drummer Dave Lombardo's commitments with and the death of frontman Gus Chambers.

Lombardo is also very busy with his band PHILM (see below). They are currently recording their second studio album, the follow up to 2011's 'Harmonic'. The NEW PHILM should see the light of day later this year!

BEHEMOTH Announce NEW Album Title!

Polish extreme Metallers BEHEMOTH, who have been holed up in Hertz Studios working on their tenth full-length album, are pleased to announce the title of their forthcoming full-length album—'THE SATANIST'. The album will come out in the fall of 2013 via Metal Blade Records.

Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn't think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now” comments BEHEMOTH front man Nergal.

AS I LAY DYING: Tim Lambesis Is A Free Man For Now - Details Available!

According to authorities, Tim Lambesis from AS I LAY DYING posted bail and left the Vista Detention Facility yesterday (May 31) after being incarcerated for nearly a month. Bail for Lambesis was slashed on May 17, from $3 million to $2 million.
 
According to ABC 10 News, another readiness conference is scheduled for Lambesis's case on June 26. The exact conditions of Lambesis' release are not known and neither are his whereabouts. However, the judge in this case has stated if Lambesis is released at anytime, he must wear a GPS monitoring device, stay in San Diego and must stay away from his estranged wife and children.

Recently, Lambesis' attorney claimed that his client began using steroids, which clouded his judgement. He also said that Lambesis had gotten into body building and eating healthy, and later began taking nutritional supplements as a paid product spokesman. At some point, he also began taking steroids.

According to Warwick, "his thought processes were devastatingly affected by his steroid use".

It was also revealed by the prosecution that the cost of alleged hit on Lambesis' wife was priced at $20,000 and that Lambesis was "very willing to pay that".

As previously reported, Lambesis's band AS I LAY DYING have been forced to pull out from the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Here is a statement from the band!

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Don't Want To Hurt Scott Weiland, But He Must Pay The Consequences - Statement Available!

As previously reported, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS have a NEW lead vocalist. That's right, Chester Bennington of LINKIN PARK has replaced the bands legendary but unreliable vocalist Scott Weiland.

As previously announced, the remaining members of STP - Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz - are suing Weiland for unspecified damages. Why? Read the bands official statement:

"You may have read we recently filed suit against our former singer, Scott Weiland. We wanted to clarify a few things:

Our purpose in taking this action is not to hurt Scott.   We want to move forward productively, and Scott’s choices and actions have prevented us from doing that.  We were in the process of putting our 20th anniversary tour together to celebrate the release of our first album, Core.  The plan was for a big tour where we’d perform the album in its entirety, along with some other favorite STP songs.  So, you might imagine our shock and disappointment when, without any notice, we learned that Scott had seized this tour for himself as his solo tour, and decided to do exactly what we as a group had planned. We found out about it the same way you did—we saw an ad for it.

Without getting into legal details, the band has a binding agreement that clearly states what each of us can and cannot do outside of STP.  Unfortunately many of the decisions Scott made violate this agreement, have been harmful to the band, and prevented us from moving forward.  When our requests to Scott and his representatives that they abide by the agreement were ignored, we finally had enough.  So now, we’ve made our choice.  It was beyond time we made some new music, which was impossible in the dysfunctional environment we were in.  We’ve lived in it long enough and have decided to move forward with STP. We wish Scott well. We’re really excited about the new music we’ve been making with Chester, including the song we just released, “Out of Time.”

We love this band and respect everything it means to you. We want to always give you our best and the choice we made is completely in that spirit."

- Dean, Eric & Robert


Here is a NEW STP song called "Out Of Time":

SLAYER Is Far From Done, Paul Bostaph Rejoins The Band!

Having Paul back in the band makes that a whole lot easier."

"I'm very excited to be rejoining SLAYER," added Bostaph. "We spent a very intense ten years of our lives together, had a lot of fun, made a lot of great music, so for me, this feels like coming home."

SLAYER's 2013 itinerary will have the band playing 35 dates that will include headline shows as well as a number of major summer festivals in Europe, Eastern Europe and South America between June and October.

IRON MAIDEN Change "Trooper Beer" Label In Sweden Because Of The Skull & Crossbones Design?!

Recently, IRON MAIDEN launched the "Trooper Beer", the beer was developed by Bruce Dickinson who is a real ale enthusiast and as a result developed a beer which has true depth of character.

Independent U.K. brewer Robinsons (the brewers of the beer) have announced that they have been forced to change the label of the "Trooper Beer" because of the skull and crossbones design (the design above). Here is their official statement:

"Due to local Swedish government alcohol and marketing act which do not allow elements of war, weapons or aggression to be featured on alcoholic product, we were unable to sell 'Trooper beer' to our fans in Sweden unless we modified the label artwork.

"As our first and foremost priority is for our Swedish fans to be able to enjoy 'Trooper beer', we amended the label by simply focusing purely on [IRON MAIDEN mascot] Eddie's face and are now very pleased to advise that the NEW label, currently exclusive to Sweden, has now been approved (see the label below).

"Our distributor, Brands For Fans, advise that 'Trooper' premium British beer should be available in bottles in Sweden towards the end of June and delivered via orders at Systembolaget nationwide. Trooper will be also listed at restaurants and pubs all over Sweden.

"Meanwhile, 500 ml bottles with the original 'Trooper' label can be ordered directly from Robinsons U.K. via this web site."

In other IRON MAIDEN news, the band will make a brief return to the USA this September, playing seven specially selected shows en-route to Latin America where they will once again headline at the legendary Rock In Rio Festival, Brazil, on September 22, their show there having recently sold out to 70,000 fans in just a couple of hours! Iron Maiden's tour dates available HERE!

MAIDEN fans: always drink responsibly!

Kurt Cobain's baby is not a baby anymore and is not fond of her mother Courtney Love

Kurt Cobain's baby, is not a baby anymore. The 20 year old Rock N' Roll royalty, is resembling her dad more and more not just physically but also emotionally. Frances Bean Cobain is not one to bite her tongue, just like her dad. If you follow her on Twitter, you know exactly what we are talking about.

Frances also doesn't like her mom Courtney Love. She actually has an extreme restraining order so that her mom stays away. During an interview that took place yesterday (May 29) on The Howard Stern Show, Love told Howard that she hasn't seen her daughter in over three years but that things are "really good" between them.

“I’m really good with my daughter now — we’re e-mailing and tweeting,” Love said, adding she thinks that her 20-year-old daughter’s aggressive team of lawyers and assistants were primarily responsible for the “extreme” restraining order Frances got against her in December 2009.

Love also said that while she hasn’t met Frances Bean’s fiance, musician Isaiah Silva, she has also talked to him online, and that he seems “really, really nice.

“I don’t want to get too into [Frances'] private stuff … she’s really private,” Love said.

Can you say delusional? How can you be "really good" with your own daughter without having a personal relationship with her? Leave your comments below!

SLIPKNOT Is Ready To Get Back On Top In 2014; Corey Taylor Is Finally Ready!

Up until now, the musical future of SLIPKNOT was very opaque. Today (May 29), we have good news regarding the future of the band! Corey Taylor is ready to rejoin the "KNOT" and to start jamming with the rest of the band. As you probably know, the rest of the band has been waiting for Taylor to get back on board the SLIPKNOT machine.

During a recent interview with the Pulse of Radio, Taylor said that the band is likely to return to the studio next year.

"I know everybody is pretty keen on getting together and seeing what happens next year, so I mean, if it takes us a year to write an album, so be it," he said. "The main goal is to just get us in the room and just see what happens, you know. If we can get past that first day, I think it'll come together. Now that we're all kind of in better places in our lives and whatnot, it's making it a little easier to be excited about it again. It's just starting to feel like it's time."

We recently chatted with 3/8th's of SLIPKNOT about the future of the band. Watch these interviews below.

ORANGE GOBLIN To Return To N. America; Help Them Pick Support Bands!

Last year, ORANGE GOBLIN released their seventh studio album 'A Eulogy For The Damned' via Candlelight Records, and haven't stopped touring the world in order to present their music to the masses. The bands latest offering continues to reap praise for its pure, sonic awesomeness from fans and critics nationally. Popdose called it  "…pretty damn fantastic. Rockin’, riff-tastic and possibly the best record from start to finish that they’ve released yet".

Today (May 29), the band has announced that they are returning to North America this September/October and want your feedback in regard to the bands you want to see them support them. Here is a word from the band:

"OG FANS IN NORTH AMERICA!!!

"Orange Goblin will return to do a headline tour of the USA & CANADA in September and October 2013.

"We are asking you (and be realistic!), which band would you like to see support Orange Goblin when they come back??"
