AC/DC
The 2015 AC/DC world tour is coming and they could contain the band's last ever dates.
Brian Johnson said back in April: "That would be a wonderful way to say bye bye," when it was revealed that the band were planning a tour to mark their 40th anniversary, which would involve 40 concerts in 40 different venues.
And the UK and Ireland dates are out now and they'll play Glasgow's Hampden Park on June 28th, Dublin's Aviva Stadium on July 1st and London's Wembley Stadium on July 4th. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 17th December.

AC/DC

The band released their 17th studio album, 'Rock Or Bust' last week of one of the bad periods in their history - remember that guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young was forced to retire due to dementia and drummer Phil Rudd is scheduled to appear in court in New Zealand in February, accused of threatening to kill and possession of drugs. He may get up to seven years in jail if found guilty of all charges.

For the history - the festival  is the  old  Fury Fest, which was held in 2002 and 2003 in Clisson and Nantes , and 2004 and 2005 in Le Mans.In June 2009, religious and right-wing groups asked the festival sponsors to disengage from Hellfest. Coca-Cola announced a later that they will no longer support the festival.

In March 2010,  Prime Minister François Fillon and the leader of the MPF Philippe de Villiers in front of 1,500 people attacked the metal music festival Hellfest: "Our values are not like those of the Regional Council (PS); to be funding a satanic festival!"The same month, former minister and leader of the Parti chrétien-démocrate Christine Boutin wrote to Kronenbourg asking them to stop supporting the festival.


Arch Enemy

"To be able to share the stage with Michael, Sharlee, Daniel and Alissa is something I'm really looking forward to. 2015 is going to be a great year... See you all on tour!"

After a great year of intensive touring in support of their critically acclaimed album, War Eternal, Arch Enemy are parting ways with guitarist Nick Cordle who states: "With War Eternal I believe we wrote an album together which will stand the test of time, and I wish them well for the future."

W.A.S.P.


Press peleased that W.A.S.P. is "about three weeks away from finishing" its new studio album, titled Golgotha, for an early 2015 release. During a press conference on  Friday, June 6 before the band's performance at this year's edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, W.A.S.P. main man Blackie Lawless stated about the lyrical inspiration for the upcoming CD (see video above): "'Golgotha' is Hebrew for place of the skull, and it's the hill where Christ was crucified. And it's interesting, when you see a lot of bands going around using Satanic images or images of death and things like that, and I'm thinking, all they need to do is look at the source, 'cause it's right there. I mean, if you want death, there's enough to go around there."

Pointing the musical direction of W.A.S.P.'s new material, Lawless said: "It sounds probably more similar to the last two that we've done (2007's Dominator and 2009's Babylon). And we've been working on this thing for four years now."

About some time breaks he said: "I don't know if you guys heard, I had a little hiccup last year, and that delayed recording for almost a year. I broke my leg. And that, too, was an interesting trip."

Lawless was also asked about his statements in past interviews that he will never perform W.A.S.P.'s classic song (edit out song title with nasty four-letter word) live again because of his "religious faith."

"I look at it like this: I'm a representative of the most high God," he said. "But I have to be very careful about the things I say and do," he said. "I mean, I'm gonna answer one day for the things that I've done. And I wanna make sure that when I do, that my slate is clean. But equally as import as that, I think, is I've been given an opportunity to stand in front of people, and you're either gonna say something positive or you're gonna say something mindless; there's no in between - you're either one or the other. And I'm just trying my best. And I'm not saying that I'm doing it all the time, but I'm trying my best to say something that I think could help somebody's life."

He told about some important event from the past : "I remember on the first album (1984's W.A.S.P.), we had a song called “B.A.D.”. And a girl came up to me one day, and she says, 'I wanna thank you for that song.' And I said, 'What for?' And she says, 'Well, I used to be a really bad heroin addict. And when I heard that song, it changed my life and I don't shoot heroin anymore.' Now, that song had nothing to do with heroin; I don't know what she heard in those lyrics. And at the time, I really didn't wanna hear that, because, to me, I knew enough about what a statement from her like that meant. To me, that was the 'R' word, and I didn't wanna know about… The 'R' word, to me, was 'responsibility,' and I didn't wanna hear it. And I ran from that as far as  I could. And then over a period of time…''

OUTLOUD
'Let's Get Serious'
(AOR Heaven)
Release Date: 26th May 2014

 The keyboardist and other guitarist from Greek Metal mainstays Firewind, Bob Katsionis keeps working  with  melodic rock band Outloud.Their third album becomes to build on their previous work.  They are offering up ballads, hook-laden upbeat rockers and a cover version. 
The good performances is 'Bury The Knife' and 'Like A Dream'. Other highlights like 'It Really Doesn't Matter', their cover version of the OMD classic 'Enola Gay' and 'A While To Go' are exellent too .


 OUTLOUD , the band
OUTLOUD

Listen out for special guest drummer George Kollias from the band Nile laying down a respectable performance throughout this album which will do more than satisfy fans of Outloud. On 'Toy Soldiers' the band rev up those rockin' engines and batter the walls of the studio with what some are speculating is their heaviest moment committed to any of their recordings yet.
The title track interestingly enough is an instrumental which to be honest is alright; fast and melodic it does the business.

Song list :
I Was So Blind
One More Time
Bury The Knife
Like A Dream
It Really Doesn't Matter
A While To Go
All In Vain
Another Kind Of Angel
Let's Get Serious
Toy Soldiers
Enola Gay



MOTÖRHEAD With Support From GRAVEYARD
Warfield Theater, San Francisco
Friday 18th April 2014
Lemmy Kilminster led his band to the scene once more. Long live Lemmy.The sold-out crowd at San Francisco's Warfield Theater is an experienced, well-dressed rock audience. Everyone was here for the music. No one knew exactly what to expect from Motörhead. What we got was an amazing performance from start to finish.


MOTÖRHEAD , the band


                                                                      MOTÖRHEAD

First, Graveyard on stage, and they tear through their set of intertwined melodic psychedelic blues rock. This band is a great collection of British blues rock around Kossoff and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, a solid rhythm section and melodic songs. 
Their new album, "Lights Out", is proof that the group develops. If you can see this band -  see them. Their name would indicate more metal approach, but they are closer to Cream.

Motörhead Setlist:

Damage Case
Stay Clean
Metropolis
Over The Top
The Chase Is Better Than the Catch
Rock It
Lost Woman Blues
Doctor Rock
Just 'Cos You Got The Power
Going To Brazil
Killed By Death
Ace Of Spades
Overkill



REALITY GREY
'Define Redemption'
(Baker Team Records)
After a long period since the release of their EP 'Day Zero' in 2008, Italian melodic metal outfit Reality Grey have returned with their second full length, entitled 'Define Redemption'.
A collection of nine new songs that the band hope will redefine their sound.
'Define Redemption' is fast and at times brutal, more so than their previous work, particularly from a melodic Metal perspective.

There is also a modern facet with the inclusion of technical elements in the guitar work.
Most of the tracks fitted into a specific niche, fast with a mix of technical and melodic 
It still had all those other elements they have been trying to encompass, the technical and the melodic but here it slotted together in a very dynamic easy way.
'Define Redemption' is okay, solid and well produced .


 EDGUY 'Space Police - Defenders Of The Crown'
(Nuclear Blast)
Release Date: 18/04/14
Tobias Sammet - man who when not touring the world for concerts with Avantasia, he's out doing the same with his original band Edguy. This is their tenth studio album.
'Space Police' has a humourous sounding title but is a mid-paced rifferama with added keyboards and a serious sub text about freedom . The  title track 'Defenders Of The Crown' is a Sabaton like battle anthem with chantalong chorus about defending Heavy Metal . 



















EDGUY


The most impressive parts of the album for me is  to come to the  'The Realms Of Baba Yaga'.This is a heavy mini-epic song and sounds amazing. 'Shadow Eaters' has a great melodic guitar hookline over the double bass beats and riffing guitars and closing track 'The Eternal Wayfarer' is a nine minute epic about the search for the immortal soul sounding 'Kashmir'-like.'Love Tyger' is a melodic metal celebration. 'Do Me Like A Caveman' is obvious tongue in  Metal humour but is a good song to hold it all together. The cover of Falco's '80s hit 'Rock Me Amadeus' is a step for humour stakes.

Tracklist:
1. Sabre & Torch 5:00
2. Space Police 5:59
3. Defenders Of The Crown 5:39
4. Love Tyger 4:26
5. The Realms Of Baba Yaga 6:06
6. Rock Me Amadeus 3:19
7. Do Me Like A Caveman 4:09
8. Shadow Eaters 6:08
9. Alone In Myself 4:36
10. The Eternal Wayfarer 8:50

SCORPIONS with Mark Cross 

 The Scorpions will fire drummer James Kottak when he is released from a Dubai, United Arab Emirates jail in Saturday, 3rd May.
The 51-year-old American was convicted  of insulting Islam and sentenced to a month in jail. The sentence includes time already spent in detention. He was also fined 2,000 dirhams (approximately $545) for drinking alcohol without a license.
Kottak had consumed five glasses of wine on an April 3rd flight from Moscow to Dubai while flying to Bahrain with Gulf Air to perform two days later at the country's Formula One Grand Prix but after taking a wrong turn and entering the transit hall, the drummer started swearing and talking about "non-educated Muslims before he flashed his middle finger at passengers," according to witnesses. Police said he also lowered his trousers and showed people his behind.

                                                                      SCORPIONS

Because of his arrest, Kottak did not perform with his bandmates at the April 5th show at the 2014 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix and was replaced at the gig by Mark Cross (Tank, Tainted Nation, Firewind, Outloud, Helloween, Metallium).
The Scorpions will fire Kottak as his behaviour and conviction are unacceptable to a band of their stature and social conscience. The Scorpions have written many songs over the years promoting peace and tolerance for the world over and this incident will jeopardise any future opportunities the band may get to play in Islamic countries.Former Helloween, Tank and Firewind drummer Mark Cross is likely to replace Kottak full time.Cross stepped in at very short notice to replace Kottak for the Bahrain Grand Prix show.
