Lamb Of God - Hellevator Trailer on Game Show Network
Be afraid. Be very afraid. From the twisted minds that brought you the "Paranormal Activity" franchise, comes HELLEVATOR: a terrifying new show that dares three friends to ride a haunted elevator into the depths of an abandoned warehouse. One player must get out on each floor and conquer a frightening challenge in order to earn money for the team. But if they don't make it back in time, the elevator moves on without them. Two comedic masterminds pull the strings throughout the game - taking delight in the horror. Who will make it back to the surface with the prize, and who will be trapped forever? HELLEVATOR is produced by Matador and Blumhouse Productions in association with Lionsgate Television. Executive Producers are Jason Blum ("Paranormal Activity," "The Purge," "Sinister" and "Insidious"), who won a 2014 Emmy® Award for "The Normal Heart," and was nominated for an Academy Award® for "Whiplash," and Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin of Matador.

Coheed and Cambria release 'Island' video
Watch the new video for Coheed and Cambria's track 'Island':
New album "The Color Before The Sun": The ten-song album marks a bold departure for the NY-based band, who pause the beloved Amory Wars, a seven-album science fiction saga that also bore a comic book empire, in favor of a more personal outing. “It’s very much a time capsule of my last two years,” Claudio Sanchez said in a Mic.com interview. “I created The Amory Wars in 1998 because at the time, I didn’t understand what a frontman or a singer entailed. And I was sort of afraid to share my stories, and I didn’t want my stories to be judged. So I created fictitious ones to essentially hide behind.”
Coheed and Cambria are also giving fans an opportunity to learn more about the individual songs, with a series of behind-the-scenes videos. Clips for “You Got Spirit, Kid,” “Here to Mars” and “Eraser” can be seen via the band’s YouTube page (www.youtube.com/officialcoheed) with new videos rolling out throughout the week.
Rolling Stone declared The Color Before The Sun “a dramatic departure,” Noisey said the new album proves “there are no boundaries for a Coheed and Cambria album” and Alternative Press, in a four-star review, added “the album pops and pulsates with signature Coheed wails and riffs.” The Nerdist, who premiered the band’s ode to the ‘80s video for “You Got Spirit, Kid”, said the new music “features much of what has made Coheed and Cambria a force for the last two decades.”

BUTCHER BABIES release new video for 'Igniter'
The BUTCHER BABIES released their latest full-length offering, Take It Like a Man. earlier this year on Century Media Records. The video for 'Igniter' perfectly captures the frenetic, high-energy of their amazing live show. Check it out now:
Heidi Shepherd (vocals) states: "We've all been in that different state of consciousness where rage over takes over your body and mind. ‘Igniter' is about these emotions and about that last straw that breaks you. We were so lucky as to film this video during our live performance at The Download Festival, Metal Hammer Boat and The Metal Hammer Golden God Awards. As it shows our intense live energy on the stage, it also shows our goofy off stage personalities.”
Carla Harvey further adds: “'Igniter' is a song about the anger and frustration that we can let consume and even destroy us at times. When we first started Butcher Babies, I was in a much darker place and often let that rage overtake me, but after 6 years of having a healthy outlet for those feelings through our music, I'm a completely different person. I love that the video for Igniter, shot while we toured the UK this summer, shows a juxtaposition of on stage rage and our off stage fun personalities. It speaks volumes to the release that music provides not only for the listener, but the creators."
BUTCHER BABIES are:

RAMMSTEIN MARK THE BAND’S 21ST ANNIVERSARY WITH THE RELEASE OF “XXI”
RAMMSTEIN MARK THE BAND’S 21ST ANNIVERSARY WITH
THE RELEASE OF “XXI” – THE FIRST VINYL BOX SET OF
THEIR CAREER, INCL. ALL OF THEIR SIX STUDIO ALBUMS
PLUS RARITIES DOUBLE LP
Release Date: December 4, 2015
If Rammstein’s music is the perfect soundtrack for building large monuments in the desert, then somewhere in the wilder world stands an imposing edifice some 21 years in the making – the length of time the six East Berliners have been collectively mining the Rammstein seam…
In the course of these two decades, the band have risen to the apex of the great rock pyramid, achieving album and DVD sales in the millions, headlining major festivals and bigger venues around the world (including New York’s Madison Square Garden, a show that sold out its 18,200 tickets in under 30 minutes!), and establishing themselves as peerless master showmen with an approach to their art – and ‘art’ is the word – that is dramatic, epic in scale and capable of touching all of the senses; a dark and spectacular fairy-tale laced with controversy, don’t-try-this-at-home theatrics, plus the all-consuming aroma of benzine.
For Rammstein, and it’s the same line-up now as at the start, it’s always been a case of marching to their own beat, gleefully torching the industry rule-book… and everything else! They sing in German, they side-step those visuals typical of the rock ‘n’ metal world, and they present an incendiary, everything-hotter-than-everything-else live experience the like of which hasn’t been seen beneath the popular music banner… Some call it ‘Rammstein-esque’.
This 21st Anniversary Box Set – a numbered, career-wide collection – not only features the six studio albums, produced by Jacob Hellner and re-mastered onto 180gr heavyweight double vinyl by Svante Forsbäck, it also comes complete with a separate rarities double LP, ‘Raritäten’, incl. a previously unreleased version of the track ‘Los’.
In terms of additional content for ‘Raritäten’, Rammstein have taken the thoughtful approach, and there is certainly a choice selection on offer; 16 tracks taken from previous singles, ‘fan edition’ releases and special album formats.
However, it’s the six studio albums that are the centre-piece here, a bona fide body of work bound together by attitude and intent. When it comes to defining precisely what Rammstein stands for, band and brand, it’s the catalogue as a whole that speaks the loudest.
Even the overall presentation of the Anniversary Box lives up to the bands longstanding reputation for quality and detail. The result is a tactile, high-end package that – as well as representing the band across the board, mirroring the scale and ambition of their music – successfully spotlights the character of the individual releases; each comes complete with gatefold sleeve, original artwork and lyrics. Four of the six albums have not been released on vinyl before: Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Reise, Reise and Rosenrot.
With the vinyl weighing in at a full 180 grams, the sonic capacity is there to properly represent a group capable of shifting from a whisper to a roar without being slowed down by the gears in-between.
From pin-drop to fusillade, from ‘Stirb nicht vor mir’ to ‘Rammlied’, the Anniversary Collection is a carefully-crafted, stylish, authentic celebration of Rammstein 1995-2012, leaving the door ajar for Studio Album Number Seven…
When and if that arrives is in the hands of the ‘Kollektiv’ itself, but one thing’s for certain: the cake honouring their 21st Anniversary won’t be short on candle power.
