Eyehategod Gives Bristol A Revelation/Revolution

Eyehategod a truly a law unto themselves. Celebrating their thirtieth anniversary this year, the influential band from New Orleans has fought through addiction, violence and even death to be here today. They've been hitting the road heavy this year, touring with the likes of Black Label Society and Corrosion Of Conformity and this week have been performing throughout the United Kingdom. I was able to catch their show at The Fleece in Bristol and witness first hand what an Eyehategod show is all about.

With no more than four support bands on the bill, I entered the venue in time to see the third, Beggar. Beggar are great for fans of doom and Black Sabbath, as unlike many others in the field, they don't merely imitate Sabbath, rather they take just as much influence from the blues as Birmingham quartet did. Following on from them was DVNE, from the Scottish capital of Edinburgh with plenty to offer. At first, they sound like most doom bands but as time goes on, one begins to notice and appreciate the progressive nature and sounds on display, as well as the post metal tones. Both bands are well worth checking out if you like your metal slow but interesting. More...

Alice Cooper To Release New Live Album

Following the release of the 2017 studio album "Paranormal," which was the best chart-performing album by Alice Cooper in decades, the American rock legend took his exciting live show all over the world, accompanied by "the best band he has ever had."

After an entire year spent on the road, the Paranormal Tour ended in Paris on December 7th, 2017 at the world renowned Olympia, a theatre that is iconic in the truest sense of the word. The Olympia, since opening in 1888, has witnessed changes in entertainment and pop culture for 130 years from the can-can through Édith Piaf to Johnny Hallyday and the Beatles and now... Alice Cooper!

This 90-minute rock show is a journey through Alice Cooper's timeless creations: classics like "Poison," "School's Out," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" are alternated with hand-picked gems for the joy of true Cooper connoisseurs like "Pain," "Woman of Mass Destruction," and "Paranoiac Personality," the first single from the album "Paranormal."

The album captures a rock 'n' roll show at its peak and is one of the best live releases by Alice Cooper, featuring his longtime band guitarists Nita Strauss, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, bassist Chuck Garric, and drummer Glen Sobel in front of an excited audience.

The album will be released on August 31st on earMUSIC as 2CD digipak, 2LP Gatefold (white and red LP), and digitally.
