There's certainly lots of new music coming out within the next month.  As you may have heard, All That Remains have their ninth studio album Victim Of The New Disease coming out on November 9th via Fearless Records. 

Before the record was announced, the band premiered the new song "Fuck Love" to a pretty positive reception from many people, including those who wrote them off after the last few albums.  Now we have another taste of the record, and the band have premiered not one, but two more new songs for our listening pleasure, which you can listen to down below.

To balance things out, there's a melodic song and a heavy song.  There's "Everything's Wrong", which is the melodic song, and "Wasteland" is the heavy song.  While "Wasteland" is heavy, it's still got a great melodic chorus.  Just from the teasers of all the songs on the band's Facebook and the three tracks they've released so far, this record sounds promising.

We're a week away from the release of the new Disturbed album Evolution.  So far, we've heard the songs "Are You Ready" and "A Reason To Fight".  Today, we get one more song to listen to before the album comes out next week.  Down below, you can listen to "The Best Ones Lie".

If you were one of those people that was let down by "A Reason To Fight", you'll be happy to know that "The Best Ones Lie" is more familiar territory.  Heavy and catchy.

Check out the song and see if you like it, and pick up Evolution, out next Friday.

If you remember a few years back, two of thrash's Big Four bassists:  Frank Bello of Anthrax and David Ellefson of Megadeth, formed a side project called Altitudes & Attitudes, and released a self-titled three-song EP in early 2014.  Since then, while they've been busy writing, recording and touring with their respective bands, they've been writing for a full-length Altitudes & Attitude debut album, and it's finally ready to see the light of day.

The album will be titled Get It Out, and will be released on January 18, 2019 through Megaforce Records.  The cover artwork is also available.  The official track listing is yet to be revealed.  The album will also feature a bunch of guest musicians like Ace Frehley, Gus G., Nita Strauss, Christian Martucci and Satchel.  The songs from the EP:  "Booze & Cigarettes", "Here Again" and "Tell The World" will be featured on Get It Out as bonus tracks in remixed and remastered form.

Down below, you can check out the lyric video for the album's first single called "Out Here".  The track also features a guest solo from Frank's Anthrax bandmate Jon Donais.  If you enjoyed the songs on the EP, you'll really enjoy this track.  You can also catch Frank and David live with Altitudes & Attitude at the shows they have booked for the new year, which includes an appearance at the ShipRocked cruise.

Altitudes & Attitudes 2019 tour dates:

Jan 26-31 - Galveston, TX-Yucatan, Mexico - ShipRocked
Feb 07 - Nottingham, England - Rescue Rooms
Feb 09 - Manchester, England - Academy 3
Feb 10 - London, England - Underworld
​Feb 12 - Norwich, England - Waterfront

There's a month left to go before the release of the second Nordic Union album Second Coming, out November 9th via Frontiers Records.  Nordic Union is the side project between Pretty Maids frontman Ronnie Atkins and Eclipse guitarist Erik Martensson.  To get us excited, the band premiered the first single "Walk Me Through The Fire" back at the end of August, and today, the band premiered the first music video for the track "Because Of Us", which you can watch down below.  The video sees Atkins and Martensson walking in the woods and they meet a demonic entity, who was also walking in the woods, at the end and get possessed by the entity.

I can certainly speak for so many people when I say that we all missed Matt Barlow's vocals.  It's been five years since Ashes Of Ares released their self-titled debut album, but the good news is that the band's much-anticipated sophomore album is ready to see the light of day.  The new album will be titled Well Of Souls and be released on November 9th through ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.  Today, the band have released a lyric video for the album's first single "Soul Searcher", which you can watch down below.  The track itself isn't a heavy hitter if that's what you're expecting, but it's rather really soulful melodic tune.  Check the song out for yourself down below.

Over the last year, there have been some changes in the U.D.O. lineup.  The second guitarist spot became vacant in early 2017 when guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen left the band.  He was then replaced by guitarist Bill Hudson, who only lasted a little over a year before he left the band earlier this year.  Former guitarist Stefan Kaufmann stepped in as a temporary fill-in for the band's Dirkschneider summer dates.  Then just a few weeks ago, longtime bassist Fitty Wienhold announced that he would be departing from the band.  Fitty's last show will be the final Dirkschneider show in Mallorca, Spain this month.

Today, the band have announced the new guitarist and bassist.  The new guitarist is Dee Dammers and Tilen Hundrap is the new bassist.  The band comments on the new members:

"We are extremely proud and happy to finally be able to introduce you to our two new Band Members!  Dee Dammers on guitar and Tilen Hudrap on bass. Both are very talented Musicians and we are really excited to have them in U.D.O.!  We hope that you will enjoy the new line up, and that it will be around for a very long time.  The new line up will start rehearsals for the upcoming U.D.O. tour of Russia very shortly. We will, as always, keep you updated on our progress via social media.  And of course, our very best wishes to Fitty, who has been much, much more than just the band’s bass player for all these years."
