Maiden Crooner Does Not Have Anthrax

RNRU : Several months back there was an online petition started by fans of Anthrax to get the members of that band to consider you as the next vocalist for the band. What's your opinion regarding that, and if you were asked by the band, would you consider joining?

PD : I don´t mind. Anthrax is a great band, and Scott is a great bloke. But I don´t think I´m the man for the job.

RNRU : You've been in the business for over three decades now. Are there any goals, musically or otherwise that you'd still like to achieve?

PD : I really want to make a classic crooner album...some old Elvis tunes, Sinatra...I´m not kidding!- Read the full interview here

Bad Brains Recruit SOAD Shavo for Video

Thus, the main punk video "Give Thanks And Praises" is seen merging into the dub reggae of "Jah Love." It's a concept Shavo felt did justice to the band as being innovators of punk rock:

"I really wanted to respect this band and bring out and capture what they are about, which is a certain intensity...yet, also bringing out all sides of the band. So, the brutal fury of the first video merges into this beautiful dub song. It is some of the most stunning cinematography from DP Danny Hiele I have ever seen. Glorious film style," says Shavo.- Still shots from the video shoot at Sasquatch Festival

Working with Jade on the new songs, there is so much diversity and signature drumming to the melodies and riffs.- He's not done yet and also drops a hint on when the new CD will be out.

Nothing Left for As I Lay Dying

The bleak, futuristic clip was shot in Van Nuys, California at Sound City Studios with Brian Thompson (Killswitch Engage, Angels & Airwaves) lending his directorial talents. "The high concept storyline mixed with the bands ripping performance should make this video a metal favorite," says Thompson.

The story, which was conceived as a collaboration between the band and Thompson, follows a female character through a series of events which takes place within a decaying, future landscape.- comments?
