This week we’ve got a welter of progressive stuff, plus solo albums from a former Megadeth and a legendary bassist. There’s also a new album form the Cavalera brothers and a nod towards the new Uriah Heep release.
This week, we cross into Canada to hear the tale of the band who were thrash before anyone else, yet never got any credit for that pioneering spirit. This is Exciter, the band whom history (and so many fans of the genre) forgot. Read all other Cult Heroes here.
The Big Four are to be the main attraction at the Sonisphere Festival on Friday, July 8.
Iron Maiden, Soundgarden, Robert Plant and Ozzy have all picked up Grammy nominations.
This week we’ve got mayhem and madness from Rose Kemp; a live milestone from Therapy?; a gothic metallic extravaganza from Alice Cooper; Motörhead delivering a patented dose of flesh-tearing viciousness; Japanese shenanigans from The Michael Scehnker Group; a quirky’n’crazed EP of Eddie Cochran covers; Megadeth rusting in peace all over again; and a candy-filled box of AOR delights from Houston.
The full track listing for the DVD The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria has now been announced.
More details have now been revealed about the upcoming DVD featuring the Big Four (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax).
