Two years after Carmine Appice and Catcus dropped ‘Temple Of Blues’ the band is back at it with a sequel to the album featuring a stacked list of legendary musicians. The band has dropped a new song from the album ‘The Little Red Rooster’ that features Dee Snider and LA Guns Tracii Guns.

The bands new album sees the likes of Ted Nugent, Billy Sheehan, Bumblefoot, Dee Snider, and Pat Travers from volume one, alongside an all-new wave of heavy hitters including Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot), Alex Skolnick (Testament), and a whole lot more! 

Vinyl and CD pre-orders for Temple Of Blues II are available now HERE, while pre-orders on all digital outlets are available HERE.

“It was great working on ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Dee and Tracii,” says Appice. “I arranged it with the drums first, then sent it to Artie Dillion and Ed Terry for their feedback. We created the demo with Ed’s amazing vocals for Tracii, Dee and James Haslip who finished the song. Ed was gracious sitting on the sidelines for this one so Dee could sing the lead vocals. It was such an honor to have Dee on the song and to have him make an appearance in the video, especially since he’s retired now. The song Rocks!” 

“Cactus! The name conjures such amazing memories for me,” exclaims Dee Snider. “An inspiration for the rock I would play in the years to come. Can you imagine what it was like to ‘get the call’ that your heroes want you to rock with them? Mind blowing! And now to be asked for second time!? What a treat to dig into a blues classic like ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Cactus!!! Hell yeah!!”

Fit For An Autopsy have dropped a ridiculously heavy new song with ‘The Wretch’. The song comes just as the band kicks off their tour supporting Lamb Of God.

Driven by relentless galloping riffs and punishing percussion, ‘The Wretch‘ features the band’s trademark earth-shattering breakdowns balanced by haunting, melodic layers in the chorus. It’s the definitive soundtrack for their return to the stage.

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY‘s Will Putney states, “True to our general nature, “The Wretch” is another relatively pessimistic and grim glimpse into our worldly outlook.  In a time where nothing seems to be getting any better at home or abroad, we find there can always be a moment of comfort in the thought of burning it all down.  We hope this song is that temporary oasis for you as well.  Thank you for listening.”

Hot metal act Roman Candle has dropped another new track with ‘Blasphemous Act’ and have announced their debut album. ‘Unadulterated‘ will drop April 24th via Sumerian Records.

The title came from a Magic: The Gathering card. The song went somewhere darker. Piper explains:

“‘Blasphemous Act’ was the last song we wrote for the record, and it hit with such ferocity that it forced its way onto the album in the eleventh hour. The name came from a Magic: The Gathering card, but the song took on a life of its own — this unhinged, teeth-bared spiral of obsession and retribution. Lines like ‘your neck in my teeth is all that I need’ and ‘karma is owed, paid in full’ captured a darker, more primal side of the band that we didn’t even know we were still capable of tapping into. By the time it explodes into that repeated ‘run for your life’ refrain, it felt clear: the record wouldn’t be complete without this song.”

Singer of legendary rock band Boston Tommy DeCarlo has passed away at the age of 60 after a battle with brain cancer. The singers family made a statement yesterday of the singers passing on Facebook.

DeCarlo joined Boston after the original lead singer, Brad Delp, died in 2007 and has been a touring musician playing the bands music both in Boston and solo since then. In 2011 he released a book detailing his life leading into joining Boston.

Our thoughts are with his friends, family, fans, and loved ones in these times.
