Weekly Music News 16.10.22
A roundup of music news for the week beginning October 16, 2022
Remember the trilogy of videos we told you about from "Megadeth"'s 16th studio album, "The Sick, the Dying... And the Dead!"??? The series began with the wild video for "We'll Be Back", the first installment in the story of Vic Rattlehead. Well, it is no longer quite a trilogy: the band has decided to release a fourth video, this time for "Life In Hell".
Tomorrow, Saturday, October 22, "King Crimson" will host a special screening of the documentary "In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50". The event will stream live from London with an introduction by Robert Fripp, followed by a live Q&A after the film. The worldwide livestream will also be available on demand for 24 hours at https://nugs.net/kingcrimson
The band "Jimmy Eat World" is releasing a new single, "Place Your Debts", with a video directed by and starring frontman Jim Adkins. It was filmed on tour and features footage from different places across the US. Jim explained the song: "The 'debt' you rack up is the time you spend avoiding doing the work to know yourself. You're buying an ending every time you start something, and the cost is determined by how much attention you pay to your personal situation."
We still have not recovered from the physical reaction we had when we saw this poster!!! We thought this year's festival might be a one-off, something that would not last. But we were very wrong: "When We Were Young" has already announced its return in 2023, with an even wilder lineup. If Hellfest sold all its tickets in three hours, we think this one will do it in three minutes.
The band "ANY", a new Israeli act formed in 2022, is releasing its debut album, "Hey Sham, Mishehu". The lineup features Lev Kraziner on vocals, Roman Mishko and Boaz Orman on guitars, Adam Maor on bass and Yonatan Alter on drums.
This excites us because the local rock scene is strong and varied, but most of its bands sing in English. Now we have ANY doing it in Hebrew. The band will play its debut show on October 29, 2022 at Wunderbar in Haifa.

"Nekamat HaTraktor" is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its debut album, "Nekamat HaTraktor". To mark the occasion, the album is being reissued in a deluxe edition on purple and black vinyl. There will also be a special show at Barby featuring members from across the band's history, including Green and Makov, with the album performed in full. The show takes place on Saturday, December 3 at 10 p.m.
"Arctic Monkeys" is releasing its seventh album, "The Car". It was written entirely by frontman Alex Turner and produced by James Ford. Its 10 tracks include the singles "I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am" and "There'd Better Be a Mirrorball".

Singer Joni Mitchell is returning to the stage!!!! As you may remember, she made a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival this past July. Now she has announced a headline concert at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington on June 10, 2023, her first headline show in more than two decades. After she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015, her musical future was uncertain.
