Former Ghost Members Are Suing Papa Emeritus

It Seems Logical

The decision of Papa Emeritus aka Tobias Forge to fire all band members was unexpected and got us all confused ! Why to fire all the band members that helped the band get the recognition it got! Those members where a part of ghost that cannot been replaced ! So I totally agree with the former member that they suing Papa .
A report from the Swedish newspaper, Corren, states the former members are suing Forge to get him to disclose the band's revenue and expenses between 2011 and 2016. Should he fail to do so, they are asking the court to penalize Forge for 200,000 SEK, which is about $22,000 US, or whatever the court deems reasonable. The former members allege that Forge was withholding money from them and tried to get them to sign contracts that amounted to, what they called, "slave labor."


The members allege Tobias made decisions for the group without consulting the rest of

them, yet also say that a partnership agreement  exists between them and Tobias which put Tobias in charge of the management of the band. They claim he has been collecting all the royalties and revenue from the band's merchandise and touring but never provided other band members with any financial statements. Forge instead insisted that the band was not yet profitable, according to court papers.
The former members claim they did not receive any compensation in 2012, and the dire situation resulted in Forge, under pressure, to pay the members sporadic amounts while still claiming there was no money in their company bank account.
Interestingly, Martin Persner, who recently outed himself as a former Ghoul, is not a part of the suit. In December, Forge, through his lawyer, contested the claim that Ghost was a partnership.

Dimmu Borgir New Album Is Almost Ready

We Should Brace Our Selfs

We should brace ourselfs cause the new Dimmu Borgir album is in the mixing stage and the band will release the new album later this year ! Its been seven years since the last album so the fans should be really excited about it . In an interview with Metal Wani(FULL INTERVIEW DOWN BELOW) , guitarist and vocalist Silenoz says :

"Well right now I’m calling from the studio in Sweden and we’re in the mixing stages—last final stages of the mixing of the album so that’s where were at at the moment. We’re attacking it now with surgical knives and, you know, the small, extremely small, microscopic stuff that we feel is necessary to put the last pieces on the album."
"As far as the live orchestra goes, we have decided not to use the live stuff this album. But the orchestral portion of this album is of course built up by real orchestral sounds. I think this album is sounding even more orchestral in the orchestral parts than the previous album even.
"So it hasn’t lost anything in that aspect from the previous album. To me it’s of course a bit difficult to analyze at the moment; probably will be for the next couple years anyway. It’s definitely a diverse, very much varied sounding album. Every song stands perfectly on its own feet. It offers so much stuff, there’s tons of layers as usual, but more control, maybe? So I can’t wait…"

In the meantime, Dimmu Borgir's Forces Of The Northern Night live DVD/CD is due out April 28, and features a very real orchestra.

“The first time we met up with RAS and Colin, they said that 2000's Infest was on constant rotation when they were growing up and they wanted to bring back some of that fire.”
Furlong adds: “The whole idea was to take the classic elements of Papa Roach that everyone loved and revamp them into a modern version of the sound through the creative process – and we ended up with a bold, courageous and more adventurous version of Papa

Guitarist Jerry Horton reports that they didn’t go into the studio with the intention of writing and recording “radio singles” and drummer Tony Palermo adds:

  “This collection of songs was really about bookending everything that we’ve done prior to this album and reintroducing Papa Roach to people who didn't realise the depth that we have.”

The cool thing is that all of my favorite bands have released an album so i am super excited another one will in a month !!

Queens Of The Stone Age New Album Finished

Finally...

Infos leaked via Actor and podcaster Dean Delray on the latest episode of his Let There Be Talk podcast, saying the new QOTSA album is "finished."
During the chat - which featured Mark Lanegan - Dean asked (transcribed by UG):

"Did you sing on the new Queens at all or no?"
After Mark said "I did not," Dean noted: "Have you heard it? I know they just finished, I'm dying to hear it."

Delray is in good terms with the QOTSA gang, and has had numerous members of the fold on his show, including Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri, Joey Castillo, Troy Van Leeuwen, Jon Theodore, and producer Chris Goss.
It was on this podcast that Homme announced QOTSA was back in work mode with no lineup changes back in June. It seems like the band will keep everything secret and they have manage to do it . We know nothing . No artwork no singles no nothing just like Avenged sevenfold latest album .So new Mastodon and QOTSA album this year ?? This is f*cking amazing !!

First Ghost New Lineup Live Appeance (Video)

It Seems Like Nothing Changed

New Ghost lineup made their first appearance 2 days ago Friday, March 24 at Norwich UEA in Norwich, England . It is their first appearance and we really don't know who are the people behind the masks .So a new game begins in media . Guess who ghouls really are ! It doent really matter in my opinion . That's just childism . The mystery is what makes the band what it is . As for the singer's decision to continue with an all new lineup is that this is wrong . The identity of the new Ghouls will sometime be reviled end then they will change again their lineup . It doent make any sense. As for the new member most of the fans agree that the new member are not as good as the old ones and I agree too! Video of the new ghost lineup down below!

Is New Tool Album Ready??

Tool Fans Brace Yourselfs

In the latest new we learnt that, Tool is reportedly in talks to finally make their entire musical catalog available on streaming services ahead of their upcoming fifth studio album.
According to Bloomberg, Maynard James Keenan and Co. are in talks with multiple streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music, about the best way to release their music online.


The long-anticipated untitled fifth album will be Tool's first album in over a decade, and the release marks the first time that fans will be able to legally download and stream the greatest rock band of the 90's. With Metallica giving in and allowing their catalog to be streamed via Spotify in 2012 (wow, it's been that long already?), Tool is the last big metal band that continues to refuse joining the digital age.
Not surprisingly, Bloomberg could not reach Maynard for comment and the music streaming services declined to comment altogether. It is kind of crazy to see Tool, of all bands, make Bloomberg's financial radar, but I guess that happens when your arena dates sell out in 60 seconds or less.
Tool is no doubt trying to capitalize the best way possible now that the revenue from streaming services is giving the music industry growth for the second consecutive year in a row since the pre-Napster era of the 1990's.
Bands and musicians in other genres have almost all given in to the lure of streaming services, as Prince's catalog was put online in February. Whoever manages The Beatles' music gave in several years ago. Garth Brooks and Church of Satan clone Taylor Swift are the only two artists that come to my mind that are still refusing to join Spotify, although I think you can stream the latter on another platform.

What do you think? I think new tool album is on the way cause we learn that frontman Maynard James Keenan is spending his time in a studio !!! I think now its the right time for a new Tool album !

New Infos For New Stone Sour Album

Bands Bassist Share Some Infos

I have written a couple of times about the new Stone Sour album that will be released in June via Roadrunner Records . Bands bassist JOHNY CHOW

Speaking to Meltdown of the WRIF radio station in Detroit, Michigan, Chow stated about the "Hydrograd" songwriting process (hear audio below):

"[STONE SOUR singer] Corey's [Taylor] been out doing SLIPKNOT, so the whole time while he was out doing that, we'd all get together every six months or so and record about six songs over at Roy's [Mayorga, drums] studio, and came up with eighteen songs, and we recorded all of 'em."

He continued: "Everybody in the band wrote on this album. People would have their song ideas kind of in demo form, and we'd all exchange them, learn them, and then when we would meet up at Roy's, we would work 'em out and lay 'em down. Then Corey would come in and lay down his vocals. There was a couple of songs on there that were just acoustic guitar and him singing that turned into full-band songs."

When time came to lay down the songs in the studio, "We recorded the whole album live," Chow explained. "We didn't do it piece by piece in Pro Tools and chop it up. We wanted to not have a sterile feeling; we wanted the energy to translate from our demos onto this album, and we really were able to capture that raw, aggressive feel and tone. Roy would get a click, and then the click would be pulled out after we started, and that way, it gives it a little bit of room to breathe and adds some life to it. We had three days in rehearsal, and went right in there, and, man, we were doing about a song every day, day and a half for a little bit. We really had a great momentum going there, and it was a great experience doing it that way, man. In the years that passed, everything's just cookie cutter, chopped up, put to the grid, perfectly played, and you go over and punch in a million times over, where most of the drums and the bass were recorded live and the guitars, obviously — solos and stuff — would have to be overdubbed."
According to Chow, "Hydrograd" will contain "about fourteen songs, fifteen tracks, being that we wrote an intro as well. But that's kind of up to the record label. But we're hoping for fourteen songs. We don't wanna go less, just because we don't wanna shortchange our fans on waiting for as long as they have and just throw 'em ten songs. We don't think that'd be fair."
Regarding the musical direction of "Hydrograd", Chow said that "this album is just a straight rock and roll album. There's some kind of FOO FIGHTERS-meets-CHEAP TRICK, but there's also groove-heavy stuff. It's not heavy in the way of SLAYER; it's more heavy in the way of [BLACK] SABBATH — not sounding like SABBATH, but not that super-heavy, super metally. It's just very groove-oriented, very melodic [with] big choruses. We've got some mellower songs on there too, which are equally just as amazing and have a lot of groove to them."

He added: "This album is a little bit of a departure from previous STONE SOUR albums. We think it's the best one yet."
Chow was a bit less clear about the origin of the "Hydrograd" album title, explaining that "that's more of a Corey question. It was his idea to name it 'Hydrograd'." But, he added, "it has to do something with him being in an airport, going to the wrong gate, but the gate he thought he saw said 'Hydrograd,' and it just always stuck with him for some reason — that word 'hydrograd.' So I don't know if it's an actual true word or not."
The bassist also confirmed that "Hydrograd" will once again feature special packaging, although details have not yet been finalized. "Corey's got this [artist] that we work with that drew up a few different ideas for us, and there's one that's sticking right now, and I really can't say much about it, but it's pretty cool, man, it's pretty cool," Chow said. "It'll be different.
