Legendary heavy metal band Metallica have confirmed that they have begun work on their tenth studio album.
Bassist Robert Trujillo says "We've got a couple of new songs we have been working on the past couple of weeks. The writing process for the new Metallica album has begun. We've been in the studio with Rick Rubin, working on a couple of things, and we're going to be recording during the most of next year."
This will be the first studio album released by the band since their popular Death Magnetic released in 2008, and also since the poorly received Lulu, their controversial collaboration with Velvet Underground singer Lou Reed, which was released in October 2011.

The popular Boston post-hardcore band has announced the departure of longtime guitarist/vocalist Evan Pharmakis and drummer Chris Campbell on amicable terms.
Statement from Evan Pharmakis (guitarist/vocals):
"I'm sad to say that as of now I will no longer be a part of Vanna. I've decided that due to my current situation and not being able to fully support myself after seven years of hard work, it's time to start taking responsibility for my life, and move on. This band has grown a lot over the years and with growth comes change. When we started Vanna it was because we loved playing music, and once it developed it was this balance of writing what we loved while still creating music that all our fans would enjoy. Mixing business into that equation is a difficult task, and with five completely different personalities it's a hard act to balance. I've been struggling for the last two years trying to make it work for me and my life, and as much as I love i ...more

British atmospheric rockers (and former doom metallers and just about everything else inbetween) Anathema are set to release their new album, Weather Systems on April 16th.
Weather Systems is the follow-up to 2010’s We're Here Because We're Here. That album featured prominently in numerous end-of-year polls and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as 'definitely among the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.'
The bar for Weather Systems has been set pretty high then but Daniel is certain that the album will exceed these lofty expectations, ‘it feels like we are at a creative peak right now, and this album reflects that. Everything from the production to the writing to the performances are a step up from our last album.’
He continues, ‘This is not background music for parties. The music is written to deeply move the listener, to uplift or take the listener to the coldest depths of the soul.’ ...more

Asheville electro-rockers, The Nova Echo, announced via Facebook today that they're going on an indefinite hiatus:
Hello everyone... it is with a somewhat bittersweet refreshment that I'm writing this post, but the time has come for us to put The Nova Echo on an indefinite hold. I would just like to say, first and foremost, thank ALL of you for the support you've given us over the years. Words cannot really express how much we all appreciate it, and we love each and every one of you. This has been a positive experience for all of us, and we're most definitely ending (for now) on a positive note. At this point in our lives, we've come to the conclusion that this project has to take a backseat to our personal careers. We've had the privilege of sharing this experience with lots of amazing friends, and we are very grateful for that. We will most likely continue to play some shows off and on, but need some time away for now. If you're in Asheville and would like to see us, tonight at ...more

Guitarist/vocalist Dan Arnold announced A Static Lullaby will be no more via the band's facebook page:
Hi, Dan here, I'd like to thank everyone who supported the band for the past 11 years, i'ts been an amazing ride. It's
very bittersweet to say that A Static Lullaby will not be making a new record, we are comfortable with what we have done
with our music and have decided that "if it aint broke don't fix it". DON'T FRET THOUGH, i'm sure there will be plenty of
music to listen to from most of the members. From Joe Brown, Dan Arnold, Brett Dinovo, Matthew Faulkner, Dane
Poppin, Tyler Mahurin, John Martinez, Phil Pirrone, Nathan Lindeman. Thanks for helping us to become who we are
today, make sure you click on the links above to check out what some of the guys have been creating over the years.
Love, Dan Arnold

Disney has halted sales of a Mickey Mouse shirt, after its comparisons to Joy Division drew web and public attention. Details of the shirt included a silhouette of the iconic cartoon character's head filled with raised black-and-white lines, which instantly echoed the cover of the post-punk band's 1979 album "Unknown Pleasures".
"As soon as we became aware there could be an issue, we pulled it from our shelves and our online store to review the situation further," a Disney representative said, according to reports.
Former bassist, Peter Hook made light of the situation by replying "I take it as a compliment," he told the Los Angeles Times. "If I had a pound for every time someone bootlegged Joy Division, I'd be as rich as Disney. But it's interesting in a kitsch way. It's this cross between something very adult and this well-known image of childhood."
