SEPULTURA announced that their new concept album, Quadra would arrive early 2020 – and today the Brazilian metal veterans have revealed plans to release the album on February 7 via Nuclear Blast Records. Additionally, the band has issued the album’s lead single “Isolation.” You can check out the official music video above.

Sepultura debuted the song live at Rock in Rio Festival last month. The performance was recorded and turned into a live video.

Legendary BLACK SABBATH vocalist, Ozzy Osbourne, has unleashed “Under The Graveyard”, his first new solo music in almost 10 years. A massive ballad that builds into a searing rocker, it’s the first single from Ozzy‘s forthcoming album, “Ordinary Man”, slated to hit stores via Epic Records in early 2020.

“This album was a gift from my higher power — it is proof to me that you should never give up,” Ozzy says.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (GUNS N’ ROSES) on bass and Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) on drums.

“It all started when Kelly [Osbourne] comes in and says, ‘Do you want to work on a Post Malone song?'” Ozzy explains. “My first thing was, ‘Who the fuck is Post Malone?!’ I went to Andrew‘s [Watt] house and ...

MAYHEM, whose sixth album, Daemon, is available digitally, with a physical release arriving tomorrow, share a video for “Falsified & Hated.”

“This is the first official music video we have released, so indeed some thought went into this,” explains Teloch. “Instead of having us filmed at some dodgy location with instruments not even plugged in, we did something different, in the true tradition of the band. We hired Johan Baath (Watain, Lucifer, etc.) to direct the video and we also were lucky enough to get the infamous Swedish graffiti artist Ziggy Jonas Rasmusson to do his ritualistic paintings for the video.”

“When I was asked to do the very first Mayhem music video, I thought I really had to do something more than just a plain Black Metal video, I wanted to take i...

It’s about and for the wild ones, the ‘crazies’ so to speak. The creative wave makers and game changers who have all been dismissed along the way but vindicated in the end...
