TRIVIUM recently gave their fans a 24-hour-only call-to-action to send in 30 second video clips of themselves discussing the band, and the end result has been posted online and is, well, pretty darn special…

“We wanted to make a quick video that could help introduce Trivium to people who don’t know much about us, or may not even be aware of our existence,” explains bassist and aspiring videographer Paolo Gregoletto. “I figured the best way to narrate a video like that would be to let our fans do the talking and tell their stories and experiences with Trivium.”

Paolo continues, “I have to thank all our fans for taking the time out of there day to share a few moments about Trivium, you all did the hard work and made it very easy to make this short video. Getting to see so many different fans from all over the world and all different walks of life was very moving and has given us even more inspiration to draw from as we are preparing to record album number 5 for you all!”

Today sees the release of the new album from KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD. The album, which was released in the USA a couple of weeks ago, and has been the top of the Billboard blues chart both weeks, his 5th number one on the chart- equaling Eric Clapton!!

Live! In Chicago was recorded in Chicago’s House of Blues during the critically acclaimed 10 Days Out: Blues From The Backroads tour and showcases Kenny and his band, Noah Hunt, Chris Layton, Scott Nelson and Riley Osbourn, along with special guests, Hubert Sumlin, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Buddy Flett, Bryan Lee and Tommy Shannon (of Double Trouble). Though an illness nearly kept Kenny from performing that night, his heartfelt commitment to the music (and quite a lot of adrenaline) ensured that he took the stage, sharing with the audience one of the most spectacular performances of his career, and one that fans can now hear in full on the album.

After 12 years in the waiting, ROB ZOMBIE fans finally get a UK tour and it’s not just the fans who have been dying for the band to return to these shores.

Guitarist Piggy D is a big fan of the UK, having toured here extensively with Wednesday 13 and Amen previously and he has been pressing for a return to Blighty. In a recent interview with Soundsphere, Piggy was asked if he was excited about the forthcoming dates and he could barely contain his excitement…

“Oh my God! You have no idea. It’s been like 12 years for Rob Zombie, and five for me. I haven’t been back since I joined this band…I have so many people I miss there. I think the UK is so much more receptive anything art related. I can’t wait to bring this show over there…I had been saying to the band for the last five years that we should do it, and now it’s happening. We are all very excited!“

When asked what fans could expect from the shows, Piggy continued, “We would love to bring the entire production over. I’m not really sure how many bands can do that, or even have the show to bring. Our show is high energy and party-like with all the bells and whistles. The pyro, video and monsters just send it over the edge…”
