Psychostick Announces North American Tour Dates
The kings of comedy rock Psychostick are hitting the road this coming October and November for "The Socks, Sandals & PJ Pants Tour" with Downtown Brown and Danimal Cannon (dates listed below) in support of their new album "DO".
This latest full length from Psychostick was a surprise album that the laugh masters revealed to the world this past July during a live fan engagement webcast on Twitch (watch the video here). The album was four years in the making to follow Psychostick's extremely fan loved "IV: Revenge of The Vengeance" and continues the band's genius of blending comedy, metal, heavy rock and the occasional spoof cover.
"DO" debut #1 on Billboard’s Comedy Albums chart along with ranking at #14 for Hard Rock Album, #39 for Rock Album, #39 for Independent Albums and #9 for Heatseekers Albums for the week of August 11th.

Interview
At The Gates Already Looking To Next Album
At this year's edition of the Bloodstock Open Air festival, I had the privilege of speaking with guitarist Martin Larsson, of one of death metal's most respected names, At The Gates. Now on their second reunion, the band recently released their sixth album, "To Drink From The Night Itself" through Century Media Records, to follow up the well received 2014 effort, "At War With Reality." While speaking with Larsson, the musician revealed that the band are already looking ahead to their next album, while also shedding some light on "To Drink From The Night Itself" and the legacy of Swedish death metal. You can check out the interview in full below.
Diamond Oz: The new album, "To Drink From The Night Itself" is out now. It's a very worthy successor to "At War With Reality," very strong and very dark as well. What made it such a dark album?
Martin Larsson: I'd say just the way of the world in general. These are pretty bleak times we're living in. Good times as well, but let other people write about the good times.
Diamond Oz: And where does the title come from?
Martin: There was a line from the last album that we used for the title. The general concept is inspired by a German writer called Peter Weiss, he wrote a huge novel called The Aesthetics Of Resistance, which is the main inspiration for the album concept.More...
Within Temptation Posts Making Of Video
Dutch symphonic metal veterans Within Temptation has posted a video online detailing the making of their latest music video, "The Reckoning." You can check it out, along with the video itself below. The song is the first single from the band's forthcoming new album, "Resist" which will be released on December 14th via Spinefarm Records/Universal Music.
"Resist is a true milestone for us. If it wasn't for Resist, Within Temptation wouldn't be here anymore," the band stated.
"With this record, we've taken inspiration from modern music and gave it a face - a very dark one," said singer Sharon den Adel. "Sometimes, it feels that today's pop music lacks a rebellious edge. Our main goal was to collect pieces from sounds we did like and roughen it up as much as we could, resulting in a surprisingly new musical world that is heavier, dirtier and more futuristic than we’ve ever created before. Resist is our take on metal in a new way: to give modern music its rebellious edge." More...

Orphaned Land Sheds Light On Latest Album
Heavy metal may have been born in the midlands of Britain but over the course of nearly five decades, it's become a global phenomenon, spreading across the world and finding homes in the most unlikely of places. It's also empowered musicians and activists to use this heavier and more aggressive music to spread their messages. Nowhere is this more pertinent than Orphaned Land, the veteran metal outfit from Israel whose goal of peace in the Middle East and indeed throughout the world.
At the Bloodstock Open Air festival this year, I had the opportunity to speak with vocalist Kobi Farhi and drummer Matan Shmuely to discuss their latest album, "Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs," their first album in five years, as well as artwork, the issues affecting their homeland and more. You can watch the interview in full below. More...
