PHILIP ANSELMO & WARBEAST: Split EP 'War Of Gargantuas' Crushes The Senses Without Caution!

As previously reported, Anselmo and Housecore Records thrashers WARBEAST have a NEW split album entitled 'War of the Gargantuas'. The split, which is a total tease, includes two songs from each artist. This album serves as the first release of any solo work by Anselmo. Also, the two WARBEAST tracks on the split feature former bassist Alan Bovee before his amicable departure from the band. Since then, Dre Karst has joined on bass. Get it HERE!

See what other press sources are saying about 'War of the Gargantuas':

“Veterans of the scene, WARBEAST don't simply rely on the '80s template. Rather, they blow it up and rebuild it into an even more vicious and vital monster… This is everything ANSELMO fans and metal fans have been hoping for and so much more. As with all of his projects, you've got to hear it to believe it.” – ArtistDirect.com, 5/5 Stars

“The combination of PHILIP ANSELMO and WARBEAST make War Of The Gargantuas a vicious, brutal onslaught of Metal that creates the ultimate teaser for both bands.”- Bloody-Disgusting.com

 

In addition to this week’s release of 'War of the Gargantuas'', DOWN and WARBEAST will head out on “The Weed & Speed Tour: West Coast Throwdown in the Year of XIII” this Friday, January 11^th, starting in Houston, TX at Warehouse Live.

THE CULT'S NEW Song "Honey From A Knife" Drops At Radio This Week!

"Honey From a Knife," the lead- off track from The Cult's critically-acclaimed NEW studio album 'Choice of Weapon', hits radio this week. The song, rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, has been singled out in numerous media reviews for its raw energy, sexual rhythms, Duffy's knife-edge guitars and Astbury's impassioned vocals, all woven around the song's mesmerizing chorus, "We got the drugs, the drugs in here."

HONEY FROM A KNIFE by THE_CULT

As one reviewer put it, "'Honey From a Knife' is pure rock and roll, as catchy as it is shocking."

"Honey From a Knife" will also be available as a ringtone via all carriers in the U.S beginning Tuesday, June 26.

'Choice of Weapon', released May 22, has received stellar press reviews, the consensus being that it is The Cult's best album in years. The UK's Mojo gave it a Five Star review, Entertainment Weekly tagged it with an A-, Magnet said it was "as epic and compelling as nearly anything in The Cult's catalogue," The UK's Q magazine called it "brilliant," the Phoenix New Times wrote "everything clicks," and MSN stated simply that it was "their best album in 20 years."

The Cult's recent live performances also created a stir with the Hollywood Reporter who observed the band live in New York as having "returned with a vengeance," and referring to Astbury as "a menacing tyrant of cool." The band - Ian Astbury/vocals, Billy Duffy/guitars, Chris Wyse/bass, John Tempesta/drums - completed its initial assault on the U.S.A. at the Los Angeles Palladium this past Saturday with alt/rockers Against Me! in support. The Cult heads to Europe later this week for a three-week tour of headlining dates and festivals where the band will share stages with Patti Smith, Garbage, Wolf Mother, and Jack White, among others.
