Fall Out Boy Release Creepy American Beauty/American Psycho Video

The clip, directed by Syndrome, seems to take the title pretty literally, juxtaposing a ballerina and a face-painted child stuck in a room. The look of the video has the damaged film quality, giving a sort of grittiness to images that wouldn't be troubling when presented in a different format, with different lighting.

As a group of men surround the dancer, no lighting or look is needed for things to get worrisome for the young girl. Then things take a turn for the Shyamalan as the young boy coughs up black liquid and the girl faces her aggressors.

Watch the clip to see what happens to the ballerina here.

Dark Angel's Gene Hoglan Offers Advise To Young Players

He reunited with Dark Angel in 2013 and the group are writing music for their first studio release since 1991's Time Does Not Heal. He recorded for Pitch Black Forest's, As the World Burns, and found time to help out his former colleagues in Death by filling in for Sean Reinert on the road.

Hoglan tells BeatIt: "I've been preaching this for years: the most important thing for a young player to do is find guys that you like to hang out with - more so than the best musicians in town. You're going to grow and evolve as a musician and also as a friend."

"Bands do become families. They become teams, and if you've got some really good teammates, really cool family members, everybody's always going to improve as a musician, especially if you're a young dude. Everybody gets better."

He adds: "Say, your guitarist is not the best or your bassist isn't the best in town. But if he's a really cool guy and he's dedicated, that's another thing." Read more here.

Jason Aldean Makes Revelation About 'Just Gettin' Started'

In an interview with Radio.com, Aldean admitted that his first pick for an album title was new single "Just Gettin' Started," but the more he considered other tracks on the release things became clearer.

"We had 'Just Gettin' Started,' which I felt like, here we are on our sixth album and I feel like we're getting warmed up good," he tells Radio.com. "I felt like that was a fitting title. [Then] we started kicking around Old Boots, New Dirt. From all aspects of everything in my life at this point, that seemed like a really good title for everything musically, personally. [I've] been around for a while but [I'm just] getting a fresh start on a lot of things here."

Aldean says that Old Boots, New Dirt was the perfect way to sum up where he is now in life. "I think we made the right choice." He also thinks he made the right decision by choosing "Just Gettin' Started" as his second single. Read more here.

Essence Release The Climb Video

The Climb according to guitarist Maarten Houben is about "about getting over hard times, picking yourself back up again and making 'the climb' towards better things."

"The narrative of the video reflects this, showing the central character of the girl ascending to the top of a hill," he continues. "The song really embodies what Smoke And Mirrors is all about for us. It has a positive message and encourages people to be positive and strong, so we thought it's the perfect song to introduce people to the EP and to Essence."
