GHOST B.C. CONCERT REPORT AND LIVE PHOTOS FROM D.C.
Posted May 22, 2013
|
Now online, a full review of GHOST B.C.'s recent show from the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C., complete with three dozen live photos and set-list.
As the title track of the band’s newly released second album, Infestissumam, segued into “Per Aspera Ad Inferi,” the face of GHOST emerged from the fog: Papa Emeritus II, appearing as a demonic pope, brandishing a staff, his face painted into the visage of a skull, his countenance at odds with the smooth, melodic tones of his voice. The sizable Monday-night crowd responded with maximum fervor; all had come for a singular purpose: to worship at this unholy church of rock ‘n’ roll ... Read more |

Posted May 7, 2013 |

Posted April 23, 2013
|
| It’s been nearly two years since DISTURBED started its planned hiatus after more than a decade at the top of the hard-rock heap. Frontman David Draiman has kept busy during that time, producing the forthcoming album from TRIVIUM, working with Mr. Mustaine on a handful of songs for the next MEGADETH record and launching a new band of his own, DEVICE, which obviously features Draiman’s unmistakable voice but adds electronic, industrial-like sounds to the mix. On Tuesday, April 9, the day the self-titled DEVICE album (which debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200) hit stores, Draiman discussed his new project and more with Live Metal’s Greg Maki ...
