Primary Wave Music You may not see Mystic Falls, Va., on Dead Sara ‘s current itinerary, but the band will be making a visit to the fictitious town that serves as home to the hit CW series ‘The Vampire Diaries.’ The group will perform their latest single, ‘Lemon Scent,’ on the March 31 episode. In addition, the band will get in a second song, covering the Patti Smith favorite ‘Ask the Angels’ during their appearance. No further details were given as to what brings the foursome to Mystic Falls, but the performance should definitely liven up the episode. In other Dead Sara news, the band will hook up with hitmakers Muse for dates this year. After announcing the pairing last fall, the itinerary has filled out a little further. The next leg of Music’s current 2013 U.S. arena tour launches Feb. 22 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The trek runs through a March 17 finale at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Metalkult Adrenaline Mob Announce ‘Coverta’ Covers EP + 2013 North American Tour Dates
January 31st, 2013 Metalkult Elm City Music Adrenaline Mob are going the covers route before approaching their next official studio album. The band’s latest EP is titled ‘Coverta,’ featuring eight rocking cover songs. The timing works out well for the supergroup, as they’ve also announced their first North American tour dates of 2013. Adrenaline Mob are comprised of drummer Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater, ex-Avenged Sevenfold), frontman Russell Allen (Symphony X), guitarist Mike Orlando (TRED) and bassist John Moyer (Disturbed). ‘Coverta’ arrives on March 12, coinciding with the opening date of the tour which takes place at Toad’s Place in New Haven, Conn. The disc includes the band’s takes on such hard rock and metal standards as Dio ‘s ‘Stand Up and Shout,’ Rainbow ‘s ‘Kill the King’ and Black Sabbath ‘s ‘The Mob Rules.’ The group also covers Badlands’ ‘High Wire,’ the Doors ‘ ‘Break on Through,’ Van Halen ‘s ‘Romeo Delight,’ Heart ‘s ‘Barracuda’ and Led Zeppelin ‘s ‘The Lemon Song.’ As for the tour, it is not known exactly how many of the covers will make the band’s set list, but it’s fair to assume you’ll hear at least a few sprinkled in among the songs from the band’s debut disc, ‘ Omerta .’ The trek runs through an April 7 finale in Richmond, Va., with support from Nothing More on the tour’s first leg. Adrenaline Mob returned to the studio in December, but it’s not known if anything other than the new cover songs were recorded during the session or when we might expect their next original release.

January 29th, 2013 Metalkult Orgymusic.com Orgy continue their return to the music scene, as the band just revealed dates for their 2013 ‘Wide Awake and Dead’ North American tour. The trek launches March 2 in Phoenix and continues through an April 2 finale in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Joining Orgy on the tour will be upstart acts Vampires Everywhere and Davey Suicide. In late 2010, Orgy’s original lineup underwent a shakeup with singer Jay Gordon retaining the rights to the name and restocking the band with new musicians. In the time since, Gordon and new Orgy members Nic Speck (bass), Jamie Miller (drums), Carlton Bost and Ashburn Miller (guitars) have sparingly toured and ducked into the studio to record the recent single, ‘ Grime of the Century .’ The band also released a video for the track last fall. In the downtime between touring, the group has been working on a new album and while details have yet to be revealed on the forthcoming disc, the return to the road is a good sign that more music may be coming from the band fairly soon.

Bad Religion, ‘True North’ – Album Review
January 22nd, 2013 Metalkult Epitaph Bad Religion are to punk rock what Iron Maiden are to heavy metal. Along with both groups brandishing unparalleled quality within their genres in over three-decade-long discographies, both Bad Religion and Iron Maiden are storytellers at heart who paint vivid visual pictures through their music. Fans are able to immerse themselves into the worlds birthed by Bad Religion with even greater intensity than their own personal realities, which is a testament to how many pairs of eyes Bad Religion are able to lend their fans for short bursts of multidimensional insight. ‘True North’ refers to the most perfect precision of one’s own moral compass, a theme that repeats itself in different forms throughout the band’s new album of that name. As Bad Religion’s socio-political foundation remains steady and without a crack, the band bursts into the album’s title track with a distinct old-school sound. ‘True North’ is an example of a perfect Bad Religion song: short and concise with profound lyrics topped off by a power chorus harnessing their trademark multipart vocal harmonies. The infinite perfection theme of one’s moral compass starts with the declaration of “ Keep searching ’til the end ” within the album’s opening track. The thesis continues into the standout anthem ‘Robin Hood in Reverse,’ which addresses the controversial laws that gift corporations the same rights as singular human begins. The line, “ Here’s the church, there’s the steeple / Open up the doors, corporations and people / Wait, what did he say? / What the f— did he say? ” forcefully tackles the subject of greed, which resonates further in ‘Land of Endless Greed’ and ‘Dept. of False Hope.’ ‘True North’ gets increasingly personal while orating topics such as the individual’s own conscience in ‘Popular Consensus’ and ‘In Their Hearts is Right,’ the latter of which seems to challenge the religious argument that the moral compass is directed by God rather than natural instinct. Bad Religion’s scientific and secular views are carried further by vocalist Greg Graffin in ‘Crisis Time’ with the lyric, “ Keep yourself in line / There’s no design .” Musically, ‘True North’ bears Bad Religion’s classic stamp, so expect no shock or surprise in the construction of the record. They’ve still got those rich vocal harmonies, guitar leads with plenty of distorted bends and choruses that will get stuck in your head for days. The album will fulfill both casual listeners and those searching for lyrical wisdom while clutching a notebook and magnifying glass, which has been Bad Religion’s M.O. for well over 30 years. ‘True North’ isn’t just another notch on Bad Religion’s bedpost. Much like their 2010 LP, ‘The Dissent of Man,’ their latest album is masterfully directed and offers a wealth of depth along with a spotlit entrance for both longtime fans and curious newcomers.
