Last night (April 10) in Los Angeles, Black Sabbath threw a party for a hand-picked group of media members and VIPs to get the first listen to their upcoming album, '13.' Although Ultimate Classic Rock received an invitation, we were unable to attend. However, our sister site Loudwire and fan site black-sabbath.com were there. A recap of their impressions follows.
Fans lucky enough to attend last night's taping of ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' were treated to an outdoor gig by Alice in Chains. The televised portion of the show aired AIC's performance of their current single 'Stone' off their upcoming album 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.' However, the band also rocked out their classic track 'Man in the Box' and their new album's first single, 'Hollow,' with the video of both posted on the official 'Kimmel' website. Watch all three performances below.
April 10, 2013 High Octane was formed when Jacob, Josh, and Ben split from their previous bands and came together to write high energy, in your face, rock n roll. Heavily influence by the 80's hard rock/heavy metal genre, this rock trio is full of aggressive, dynamic, and lively original music. In short, this band can be best described as 'High energy, High Octane'!
Killswitch Engage have just announced their first headlining tour to support the band's newest full-length album, 'Disarm the Descent.' If Killswitch alone doesn't quench your metalcore thirst, As I Lay Dying will join the band for the string of dates along with Miss May I and Affiance.
Due to recent legal issues, Satanic Swedish heavy metal band Ghost have been forced to adopt the moniker Ghost B.C. for albums and merch sold in the United States. Despite the change, one of the band's nameless ghouls borrows a line from country-pop starlet Taylor Swift by declaring in a new interview that Ghost will "never ever ever ever ever ever" call themselves Ghost B.C. through speech.
