Weekly news roundup for the week beginning January 15, 2023
"Metallica" releases its second single, "Screaming Suicide", from "72 Seasons", due on April 14. The single comes with an official video directed by Tim Saccenti. Listen to Kirk Hammett's solo at 3:32. Is that a rip-off of, or a tribute to, Deep Purple's "Speed King"?
Singer-songwriter David Crosby has died at 81. A separate post is linked through his name.
Israeli rock princess Ninet Tayeb releases "Ma Yihye Itcha" (What Will Become of You), a song she wrote, composed and performs, produced by Yossi Mizrahi. It is another step towards her next album, which will be entirely in Hebrew.
Ninet says: "Ma Yihye Itcha is a kind of road song exploring the eternal question of what home is, and whether home really means four walls and a roof, or a place we must keep finding within ourselves."
The camels are coming back to Israel! After the 2018 shows sold out within hours, the wonderful progressive-rock band announces a single Israel show. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, "Camel" offers fans in Israel and around the world another chance to hear those unique, moving sounds from the treasure chest of 1970s progressive rock!!
A third new single from "Pierce The Veil", "Even When I'm Not With You", from "The Jaws Of Life", due on February 10.
Singer Vic Fuentes says this is the first song the band has made using the same looping riff through nearly the entire track. He had wanted to try this approach for years, and this time it worked!!
After an intense year of more than 30 European shows alongside American hardcore giants "Sick Of It All" and "Death Before Dishonor", plus shows across Israel, "Eternal Struggle" decides it is time to return to home turf with the huge, unforgettable hardcore celebration only they know how to deliver!!
Just looking at the poster has us fainting!!! Look at those guests. We have already bought tickets!!
Tickets for Saturday, March 4, at Gagarin, Tel Aviv. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Bassist Van Conner, a co-founder of "Screaming Trees", has died this week at 55 following an extended illness, with pneumonia ultimately taking his life. Conner formed the band in 1984 with singer Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner (Van's brother), and drummer Mark Pickerel. The band helped lead the Seattle grunge scene and was among its influential names in the 1990s.
The band "Shredhead" plays a show with some especially wild guests!!!
If you do not know them, "Daisy's Fasulia" is a wonderfully unhinged musical phenomenon, and pairing them with "Shredhead" is pure madness!!!
The stage at Gray has surely never seen anything like this, and it is going to explode. Hurry up for the Saturday show at Gray Tel Aviv. This is one not to miss!!! Tickets.
The band "All Time Low" releases the second single from its ninth album, "Tell Me I'm Alive", due on March 17, 2023. Singer Alex Gaskarth says that once they had written and recorded this song's demo, the pressure lifted: they could feel the creativity and inspiration were there, and everything began to flow!
"Iron Maiden" teams up with The Guitarwrist, a not-for-profit business that recycles bands' used instrument strings into jewellery. The aim is to keep metal, particularly guitar strings, out of landfill while raising money for charity: 100% of the profits from each sale go to charity. The company makes custom, handmade bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings, giving each piece both an emotional and physical connection to the artist whose used strings supplied the materials, and to their fans.
An epic launch show!
After more than three years working on its EP, releasing two singles and a video for "Epiphany Star", "Serpentale" comes to shake HaEzor with an energy-filled show that will rock the whole Tel Aviv area,
alongside its mighty partners: "Scardust", "Desert" and "Vessel".
Saturday at HaEzor, 7 p.m. Tickets.
