Emmure and Whitechapel are set to head out on a 2013 North American tour completely filled with all things ‘core.’ The two co-headlining bands will be joined on the road by Unearth , Obey the Brave and the Plot in You beginning in early January. The ‘Brothers of Brutality’ tour will be presented by Revolver Magazine and Rockstar Energy Drink and will begin on Jan. 8, wrapping up on Feb. 11. Whitechapel guitarist Alex Wade shared his excitement for the upcoming tour in a recent press release. “We are really excited to announce our co-headlining tour with Emmure,” says Wade. “We have been friends with them for quite some time now, and this is something we have always talked about doing, so it’s awesome to see it finally come to light. Our first show ever was with Emmure in Nashville, TN before either of us were signed, so it’s incredible to see how we have both grown so much in the music industry and are able to come together and put together this co-headlining tour!” Whitechapel are currently riding high from their 2012 self-titled album, with Emmure still buzzing after the release of ‘Slave to the Game,’ which also dropped this year.

Metalkult Down Talk Possible New Musical Directions, Recording While Still Alive + Being Handsome
November 19th, 2012 Metalkult Independent Label Group Down recently visited Loudwire’s offices when they were on tour in New York City. The entire group swarmed on our little studio room to talk about their four-part series of ‘Down IV’ EPs, all the while anointing themselves the most handsome band in the history of handsome while knocking back a few beers. After releasing ‘Down IV Part 1 – The Purple EP’ in September, the band refused to put a timeline on the next EP. Frontman Philip Anselmo intimated that perhaps he might not be in the right mood to record another EP at this point, and that he may find himself inspired by flute music or technical death metal in the future. Guitarist Pepper Keenan then joked that it’ll take them 20 years to release all four EPs. Since the members of Down have so many other projects going at once, we had to ask them how they manage to hunker “Down” and and actually do Down. “We all know when it’s time to do Down, it’s time to do Down,” Anselmo said. “Down has a core audience that surpasses any of our current singular audiences.” ‘Down IV Part 1 – The Purple EP,’ featuring the single ‘Witchtripper,’ is currently available at iTunes . Down will return to the road this winter with Warbeast on ‘The Weed & Speed Tour: West Coast Throwdown in the Year of XIII.” Tickets for the tour are available here ; check out the dates below the video.

No Comments »Kid Rock to Play Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show
November 10th, 2012 Metalkult Mary Ouellette, SheWillShootYou.com Kid Rock ‘s love affair with Detroit will continue this Thanksgiving as the vocalist has signed on to perform at the Lions halftime show to kick off the United Way holiday campaign. The timing is perfect for Rock, whose ‘ Rebel Soul ‘ album will have arrived in stores earlier in the week. Billboard reports that Rock will perform his new song ‘Detroit, Michigan’ at halftime of the Lions game against the Houston Texans. Rock also performed at the halftime event of the 2010 Thanksgiving Day game, rolling out his track ‘Born Free’ for the national audience. Rock says, “It’s great because I’m home for Thanksgiving, number one, and it’s a huge television audience. I get to be in front of the hometown fans and it’s great to have my family down there and then go eat some turkey and watch the next football game. It’s such a tradition.” The singer recalls going with his father and brother every year to catch the Lions Thanksgiving Day game, and he adds, “To be part of it now, musically, is great — especially when you’ve got a record coming out. It’s a win-win.” Rock’s charitable spirit isn’t just limited to the United Way campaign. As in recent years, Rock is giving back to the Detroit community by offering $30 Meijer gift cards to 1200 families in need. The musician is teaming with local radio stations to give away the gift cards.
