FOSCOR Drops Uniquely Haunting Cover Of ALICE IN CHAINS’ “Dirt”

A good cover song (to me) is one that takes a composition and reimagines it in a totally new way, while still retaining what made the original so good. Foscor has done exactly that with their uniquely haunting cover of Alice In Chains‘ “Would?” which they’ve released a few days prior of Dirt turning 30 […]

WENDY DIO Says A RONNIE JAMES DIO Museum Is In The Works

Souvenirs once belonging to the late Ronnie James Dio are very much in vogue of late.

HE IS LEGEND’s New Songs Have Some Chunky, Aggressive MESHUGGAH Riffs

He Is Legend is now streaming their two new singles “Lifeless Lemonade” and “The Prowler” from their upcoming record Endless Hallway. He Is Legend shreds pretty hard on “The Prowler” after bringing some initially chunky riffage, but “Lifeless Lemonade” just goes full on Meshuggah throughout the whole intro and it kicks all kinds of ass.
