High on Fire Join Anthrax, Exodus + More on 2013 Metal Alliance Tour Lineup

Metal Alliance Already boasting a stellar lineup, the 2013 Metal Alliance Tour has just gotten crunchier. Off the heels of releasing their latest full-length masterpiece, ‘De Vermis Mysteriis,’ Californian sludge masters High on Fire have hopped on board the third installment of the trek. This year’s tour is shaping up to be absolutely insane. The previously announced bill already consisted of thrash masters  Anthrax , Exodus and Municipal Waste , with a bit of heavy metal peppered in thanks to Holy Grail. Now, High on Fire will round off the lineup a bit more while melting the walls of each venue they hit with their brand of time-traveling, hallucinogenic sludge. Last year, High on Fire were scheduled to invade the 2012 Mayhem Festival but backed out of the trek when frontman Matt Pike chose to  enter rehab for alcohol issues. After completing treatment and taking a break from the road, High on Fire embarked on a solid club tour with Goatwhore , Primate and Lo-Pan at the tail-end of 2012, which we were lucky enough to check out on its Brooklyn, N.Y, stop . As previously reported, the 2013 Metal Alliance Tour will feature Anthrax performing their classic 1987 album ‘Among the Living’ album in full. Be sure to check out this tour, as it is definitely shaping up to be one of this year’s must-see events. Check out the entire list of tour dates here .

AC/DC End Longtime Digital Holdout by Reaching Deal With iTunes

Columbia After years and years of holding out on releasing their music digitally, legendary rockers   AC/DC have now made their music available via iTunes. The band’s entire discography is now available, including every live album, contributions to soundtracks, box sets and a series of official AC/DC ringtones. The band’s holdout hadn’t seemingly affected their album sales in an extreme matter, as their 1980 ‘Back in Black’ album regularly sells more copies than many albums on the Billboard Top 200 at any time, while their 2008 album, ‘Black Ice,’ sold 784,000 copies in its first week. “From their 1976 debut ‘High Voltage,’” begins a press release issued by Apple, “to seminal classic ‘Back In Black’ and 2008 smash hit ‘Black Ice,’ every one of AC/DC’s 16 studio albums, along with four live albums and three compilation albums, are available for the first time ever on the iTunes Store. All tracks are mastered for iTunes, and fans have the ability to download full albums or simply purchase their favorite individual songs. Fans can also choose from two specially packaged digital compilations: The Complete Collection, the complete iTunes-exclusive AC/DC catalog; and The Collection, which includes all 16 studio albums.” For those about to rock digitally, we salute you! Check out the entire AC/DC catalog along with special deals on iTunes .
