It's a hint at just how intense the band's latest work could be - and they'll offer more details in a "major" announcement on Monday. Grohl previously revealed they recorded each of the record's tracks in a different studio, and they made a documentary episode about each session. It's due for broadcast in November, around the time of the record's release.

On Wednesday, a preview of what's thought to be the album cover was leaked via Reddit, featuring the figure 8 and a composite image of the cities the band visited while they worked.

He tells BBC Radio 1: "People don't know what to expect from us, and that's kind of the way we like it. The Negative One isn't our single. That was just a gift for the fans. Like, we wanted them to hear a piece of the album.

"The single comes out in a few weeks, and it's completely different. It's more melodic, but it's dark, it's powerful, man. It's something different. People are gonna lose their minds when they hear that.

"The thing I love is that everyone's reactions are very, very similar. They love the fact that there's new Slipknot out. They also love the fact that it feels like old school meets new school."

The Led Zeppelin singer will play three shows in New York, starting September 25th, before hitting Toronto, Chicago and Denver, wrapping the run up in Los Angeles on October 7th.

Since KISS is Ruben Velasco's all time favorite band, Springfield will lead the all-star set of KISS songs and will be joined by Kenny Aronoff (Jon Bon Jovi, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Alanis Morissette, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, a lot more), Bruce Kulick (KISS/Grand Funk Railroad) and James Lomenzo (John Fogerty, Megadeth).

The show will also include a special appearance from John 5 (Rob Zombie) with more special guests to be announced and organizers state that the show will close with a "huge surprise".

The concert will take place on August 20, 2014 at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and is being staged to raise money for Ruben's medical expenses in his battle against cancer.

"Ruben Velasco, our friend and guitar tech extraordinaire is fighting for his life," says Springfield. "He has been diagnosed with fourth stage cancer and has a lot of medical expenses coming up in his fight. Any and all donations would be loved and welcomed."

The phones, worth �9000, were taken from the crowd during Limp Bizkit's February 2014 show at Manchester's Academy and was the second time Costel had targeted music fans - he spent time in jail last year for stealing phones at the Reading festival.

It is taken from their upcoming third album Reincarnate, which is released on Monday, September 15. They have also made the full album track list available. As well as The Cradle OF Filth man's appearance, other guests on Reincarnate include In This Moment's Maria Brink and former Marilyn Manson bassist Tim Skold.

Motionless In White singer Chris Motionless says: "I think I speak for most artists of any kind when I say that it's a rarity to step back from something you created and feel 100% satisfied without seeing the flaws or things you wish you had made differently.

"This is the first time in my life I've composed an album and have departed from the studio feeling like everything I've ever wanted to accomplish has finally materialised."

The book is in paperback format, runs for 112-pages and it chronicles the back story behind David Bowie's 1971 album, 'Hunky Dory.' To write the book Sharp spoke to members of Bowie's band, producer Ken Scott, RCA Records personnel and also used archival commentary from David Bowie and the late Mick Ronson, according to the synopsis.

Trevor Bolder, bassist on 'Hunky Dory' had this to say, "Hunky Dory is still one of my all time favorite albums - it's my favorite of all the records I did with David Bowie. I have many fond memories of the making of it as this was the first recording I ever played on. Hunky Dory is unique, has wonderful songs of great warmth and feel and is beautifully recorded. Ken has really captured much of this sentiment and detail in his book, which I greatly enjoyed and highly recommend."

'Hunky Dory' drummer Woody Woodmansey adds, "I'm impressed with Ken's approach to this project. It was a nice change to have intelligent questions and to be able to recount the making of this album. It will make a good read for any fan."

The guitarist will be making the appearance in support of the release his first new solo album in five years, "Space Invader", on August 19th in North America and August 29th in Europe.

Billed as "an unrivalled peek into the world of one of today's greatest performers", "Planes, Trains And Eric" includes 13 full-length performances blended with interviews with Clapton and his band members, rehearsal and soundcheck footage, travel by trains and planes, presentations and "fly on the wall" filming of all the many aspects of being on the road.

The team is hosting a Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Night, with a portion of the tickets sold to benefit the Northwest Chapter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA).

The new music video is for the song "Alive And On Fire" which is the latest track released from the band's most recent studio album "Delivering The Black". The clip also features founding member Tom Naumann, who has been filling in for the band's regular guitarist Magnus Karlsson.

The decision to transform the 2.5-acre site in the city's central district into a community focused music park has officially been given the green light, and work will now begin to create an area which will celebrate Hendrix's life and music.

Hendrix was born in the city in 1942 and his sister Janie, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC, says the new park has special significance for the Hendrix family.

Organised by Heavy Metal Truants in association with TeamRock.com, the auction offers the largest-ever assembling of rock and metal bands memorabilia and exclusive signed merchandise for a charity event.

Featuring more than 80 items representing the biggest names in metal, alongside some wonderful donations from the likes of Peter Gabriel and comedian Bill Bailey, and donated by both bands and a wide array of music industry professionals, the auction launches at exactly 11.58pm tonight - Thursday, August 7 - and runs for two weeks on eBay.

The veteran guitarist was flown home by air ambulance earlier this week and had tests at London's Royal Brompton Hospital, where it was discovered a graft from his quadruple heart bypass in 1997 had become furred. The 65-year-old underwent surgery to have a stent inserted which corrected the problem.

Speaking to Metal Kaoz, Wartell says work on the follow up to 2013's The Distortion Field was in "full swing" and the band hope to release the album in late 2015.

"The Distortion Field took a long time for a lot of reasons other than the writing process - we went through two vocalists and we lost tracks during the recordings," he says. "For the new release, we began writing right after we finished the last album, so we're kinda ahead of the game.

It's the band's first full-length outing since 2001's Hymns, and follows their 2010 reunion after eight years apart. They launched an EP entitled Decline & Fall in June.

Justin K Broadrick recently said: "It's getting straight back to the core of what this is all about. I think having a break from it has us probably even more inspired. It's a really interesting record - extremely minimal and very, very brutal. Fairly unforgiving, I think."

The video, shot in the swamps of Florida, was produced by Death Wolf's Valentin Mellstrom and Stian Roenning, and is the latest promo from the band who changed from Entombed to Entombed AD in January, following the departure of Alex Hellid.

Guitarist Nico Elgstrand says: "Alex claimed the name Entombed belongs to him, which it doesn't. But instead of getting into a lawsuit that would have gone on for a long time and wouldn't have made anyone happy except a bunch of lawyers, we decided to add AD and get on with making music and touring as a band."

Along with Elgstrand, the band now consists of vocalist Lars Goran Petrov, bassist Victor Brandt and drummer Olle Dahlstedt, who will appear at Bloodstock on Aug 8 before heading to mainland Europe for a 12-date tour.

So far Adams has only revealed the title and cover art for the new album. The new album will be entitled "Tracks of My Tears", which is the title of a hit by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

Amazon has listed a September 9, 2014 release date on their pre-order page. The page also includes the cover art which features a photo of Adams just before he turned 16 years old.

"I've always loved musicians like Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins, who have the balls to do spoken word performances," explains Ian. "It's just them and the mike. There's no band to make them look good or cover up their mistakes. They're alone, naked. It's seemed like a really cool thing to do, but I'm not especially political and while I'm interested in a lot of different subjects from good food to great comic books, I'm not enough of an expert in any one area to get onstage and talk about it like I know any more than anyone else."

According to CBS Washington, D.C., a 31-year-old man was savagely beaten by 33-year-old Paul Martin Hurst and 35-year-old Cary Lee Edwards on Monday morning (Aug. 4) in his home near Hebron, Maryland.

Court documents state that the man suffered from fractures to his nasal area and face, brain bleeding, swelling around his eyes, 11 broken ribs and a liver laceration.

It was also reported that the two men tried to unsuccessfully carve a tattoo from the victim's arm before dousing his arm with a flammable liquid and setting fire to it. "This burning was in an attempt to remove a tattoo that Edwards did not believe that Swanson earned," police documents state. No word if the tattoo is Insane Clown Posse related.

McCready's appearance as part of the Sonic Evolution series will see the Symphony celebrates Seattle's musical legacy of innovation with brand-new symphonic compositions inspired by musical icons Pearl Jam, Nirvana and others.

The clip combines footage filmed at three recent shows: the Hydrogen Festival in Padova, Italy, the Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, and the UK's Glastonbury Festival.

Due September 5 in Europe and September 9 in North America, "lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar" was recorded at Helium Studios in Wiltshire and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Bath, UK.

The two tracks, "If The Devil Made Whiskey" and "Trouble At Hom.e" were recorded in London on May 17, 2007 at a concert originally aired by Planet Rock radio.

This is the first time that the audio of the complete show has been made available outside of the original broadcast. The concert features a number of tracks from Gary's then newly-released "Close As You Get" album, such as "Eyesight To The Blind" and "I Had A Dream", many of which he rarely played live after this, alongside classics from his extensive back catalogue, such as "Don't Believe A Word", "Walking By Myself", "Still Got The Blues" and many more.

The first-ever release of this show contains several tracks that are not available in live versions anywhere else. Moore died February 6, 2011 at the age of 58 from a heart attack following a night of heavy drinking while on vacation in Spain.

The album will feature six new songs plus an 11-track live recording from their Between Dog And Wolf tour from late 2013 and is scheduled for release on September 8.

Directed by Jonathan Demme, who later won an Oscar for The Silence Of The Lambs, the film concentrated on using dramatic lighting, lingering close-ups and very little in the way of audience footage. But that innovation came at a cost, as Frantz explains to Rolling Stone.

"One thing nobody every mentions is the fact the band paid for the movie," he says. "Yes, we got a loan from Warner Bros, but it was against our royalties so the four of us coughed up the money.

The Canadians brought her on board after Alissa White-Gluz left to join Arch Enemy. She makes her debut on Eye of Providence, the follow-up to 2012's Prisoners, set for launch on November 10.

Guitarist Danny Marino recently said: "Vicky has breathed new life into the songwriting process. The songs represent a culmination of the past 10 years, as well as a new beginning."

The Ghosts Of Pripyat is to due in September, featuring guest appearances by Steve Hackett and Don Airey. Work was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign, which the Marillion guitarist admitted exceeded all his expectations.

'Universal You' was a fun song in the writing process. I've always been a huge fan of reggae and the reggae bass. Besides air drums, I'm always pretending to do air reggae bass. (Laughs). We are not a reggae roots band, and of course many bands like 311 have mixed roots and rock, but we wanted to do this with our sounds on this track, maybe it's because we are from a tropical island?

We decided to have a heavy bass driving the song with this constant groove. You can really hear this in the verse where we used a Gibson Les Paul bass with Bartolini active pickups to get that heavy mahogany low end. Then we added trippy guitar delays. Mixing the right amount of reverb with the right delay can be a challenge. To have that reggae delay we set the time to 1/8 notes. Then we added some chorus. Mixing palm muting picking with tremolo picking with a whole note at the end helped accent the effect of the delay. This was so much fun to record, it never got old. JuanMa [JuanMa Font, drums] puts the icing on top with the ghost notes and rim shots. We also use a lot of open power chords on this track, it gives the song that big wall of sound in it. We tried to keep the song simple except we had to put that little breakdown at the end, it's just so much fun to do live!

The vocals of 'Universal You' are very melodic and have a hurtful sound because of the lyrics. This is probably the 4th track M2V ever recorded. The song is about having a deep regret losing someone close, and not being able to carry that weight on your shoulders. Feeling guilt and blame for this loss inspired this song, lyrically. That's what "this is my execution" means. It's all pretty clear in the verses.

Besides the sadness of the theme, this is a great song to rock out and sounds great on your local jukebox. So crank it loud!
