Turns out a lot of Metallica's heavy metal peers aren't really digging the whole Lulu project. Alex Skolnick of Testament took to his personal blog to give a review of the album and he is not a fan.
‘Assassin’s Creed Revelations’ is a game for history buffs, lovers of 16th century Constantinople, conspiracy theorists and anyone who would like to shank Adrian Peterson and Derrick Rose in the streets of 16th century Constantinople.
November 10, 2011 Tuesday night, Northern Lights was alive with a nearly sold out show of co-headliners Anthrax and Testament, and supporting band Death Angel. The line was non-stop for almost two hours as classic, old school thrash metal fans and lovers of all ages packed the venue from corner-to-corner and everywhere in between.
November 10, 2011 Queens, New York City's newest rock quartet Eve to Adam, released their debut album, Banquet for a Starving Dog, on September 13, 2011. I've given it a thorough listen and am impressed. By the sound of them, and their success thus far, I can see the band becoming pretty big in the rock world within the next few years.
November 2, 2011 Recently, a video of new, local heartthrob artist Frank Palangi's song "Love" was posted on the website, and received lots of positive attention. The acoustic and rock artist hails from Queensbury and does all of the writing and creating on his own. His self-titled debut EP was released on August 31, and by the sounds of it, he's headed on the path to musical success.
October 25, 2011 LA-based quintet Jane's Addiction have certainly had their ups and downs since they formed in 1985. They've gone through a number of band members and years of non-existence, as well as some very successful years and coinciding albums. Their newest album, The Great Escape Artist, is the first since 2003's Strays, and with another big time lapse between records, it's inevitable to wonder if this band will last much longer.
September 15, 2011 If you've never been to one of Brown's Brewing Company beer suppers then you have to make sure the next one becomes an addition to your calendar. One of the greatest things about beer is pairing it with the right foods and having a perfect supernova of flavors. Brown's does frequent beer suppers and always impresses - including last night which featured a good deal of locally grown food. Check out some pictures and a review after the jump.
I had the very great pleasure of witnessing one of my favorite bands take the stage at SPAC last night. Here follows an account of the supreme awesome power of a band called Incubus.
After a four year absent, Hooters of Albany opened for business Friday at 11am. Stop by the new restaurant for ice cold beer, wings and of course to meet Amanda, Ashley, Liz, Brittany, Erica, Rachael, Sarah, Dominque, Victoria and the many other new Hooter Girls. Q103 broadcasted live for the grand opening and here is a review.
Godsmack front man Sully Erna brought his solo tour in support of his project 'Avalon' to the Egg Sunday Night. Avalon showcased the other side of Sully - a softer, gentler, and spiritual side of the singer. His show at the Egg certainly didn't disappoint the 800 plus in attendance.
May 6, 2011 Tuesday night, Alternative Press's AP Tour took place at Northern Lights in Clifton Park. Five bands took the stage: Conditions, Versa Emerge, I See Stars and Black Veil Brides, who were the headliners. The co-headliners and other performance was by one of my new favorite bands (who I've written several blogs on already), D.R.U.G.S, or Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, who were so completely amazing that I cried, no lie.
May 2, 2011 Saturday night, three awesome bands rocked the stage at Albany's Times Union Center. Sevendust, Three Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold all performed and put on an amazing show individually and as a whole.
