October 29th, 2012 Metalkult Spencer Kaufman, Loudwire As singer Billie Joe Armstrong remains in rehab for substance abuse treatment, Green Day have announced that they’ve canceled all of their remaining 2012 club shows and have postponed their entire 2013 North American arena tour set for January and February. Bassist Mike Dirnt explains, “Obviously the time for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern. We are happy to say the Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you for all the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.” New dates for the January and February performances will be announced shortly, and all previously purchased tickets will be honored. The band also revealed that because of all the schedule maneuvering, they will go ahead and push up the release of their ‘¡Tré!’ album to Dec. 11 from Jan. 15. Drummer Tre Cool added, “We feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned. If we couldn’t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.” ‘¡Tré!’ is the third of the band’s new album trilogy, which also included the recently released ‘¡Uno!’ and the Nov. 13 release ‘¡Dos!’ One of Green Day’s missed performances came over the weekend as they were scheduled to headline the Voodoo Arts + Music Experience in New Orleans. However, their Bay Area pals Metallica stepped in to deliver a stellar show .

October 29th, 2012 Metalkult A&M/Octone ‘New Horizons’ is the third studio album from Flyleaf , and the final one for vocalist Lacey Sturm. Just a few days before the album’s release, it was announced Sturm would be leaving the band and would be replaced by Kristen May. Sturm explained her departure. “I am very thankful to have recently become a mom to one of the greatest blessings of my life, my son Jack. You may have also heard that we recently lost our brilliant sound engineer, Rich Caldwell, in a devastating car accident. Now, more than ever, I understand the phrase Memento Mori. I understand that, for me, living life to the fullest in this season means to step down as the lead singer for Flyleaf.’ Sturm is exiting on a high note with ‘New Horizons.’ It’s packed with melodic and catchy rock and hard rock. It’s also a focused effort, just 11 songs clocking in at 36 minutes. That’s considerably shorter than 2009‘s ‘Memento Mori,’ which had an expanded edition that was an hour long. The brevity on ‘New Horizons’ works to Flyleaf’s advantage. The filler is minimal, and it’s always good to leave them wanting more. There’s a variety of styles on the album as well, giving it plenty of diversity. The title track is straight ahead pop/rock, very accessible and instantly memorable. As with Flyleaf’s previous albums, Howard Benson produced ‘New Horizons.’ He has worked with bands such as Halestorm , Skillet and Three Days Grace , and knows how to blend pop hooks with guitar based rock. Tracks like ‘Call You Out’ have a bit of a Halestorm vibe, with Sturm singing more aggressively. The harder-edged tracks are where guitarists Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann excel. Flyleaf approach metal territory with ‘Green Heart,’ which is probably the most aggressive track they have done. The guitar duo is able to shift smoothly from gritty riffs on that song to more shimmering tones on mellower songs such as ‘Cage on the Ground.’ Sturm’s strongest performance is on ‘Freedom.’ She transitions from earnest to aggressive and back again, showing both vulnerability and attitude. Her voice has a unique and distinctive sound, which will be hard to replace. ‘New Horizons’ ( available at iTunes ) is a bittersweet album for Flyleaf fans. Sturm’s exit is a bitter pill to swallow, but the band has delivered some of the strongest songs of their career. It’s a great legacy for Sturm, and provides ample hope for for the future of the group. ?
