The Dead Daisies’ excellent new album Make Some Noise, released today August 5th, on Spitfire Music / SPV, way more than lives up to the legendary ‘classic third LP syndrome’ epithet. Packed with killer tunes, (and defiantly no ‘filler’), ‘Make Some Noise’ grabs you by the musical throat from the moment the opening bars crash out of the speakers, never letting go until the very last notes fade away.
Visionary swedish metallers Soilwork have released the second “Inside Death Resonance” video trailer in which singer Björn “Speed” Strid talks about the band’s special collection of rarities, ‘Death Resonance‘ (out August 19, 2016 via Nuclear Blast).
