Progressive metallers Sirens have released a lyric video for their new single “Drone”.
Drummer/singer Zakk Huff had this to say of the new single, “We are excited to present our fans with what we consider to be our heaviest, most demanding, and softest song yet. ‘Drone’ pushes our boundaries in all directions; intricate rhythmic work, experimental orchestration, distinct vocal lines, dense harmony, massive guitar, and drastic style changes that push the genre ‘progressive metal’ to the limits.”

In a classic dick move some jerks have stolen Jeff Loomis and his bands gear out from under them while they were eating in St. Louis. You can read the official press release below as well get the details so you can throw the band a few dollars and hopefully they can continue on the tour.
Official press release: “Last night after our show in St. Louis, our tour van was broken into as we were grabbing a bite to eat before our drive to Dallas. We were parked in a well lit area in front of the restaurant. In the ten to fifteen minutes that it took for us to order our food and eat, all of our personal items such as laptops, cameras, musical equipment, cell phones, passports and money were stolen. We came outside to find the lock on the driver side door popped out of the van, and promptly called the police. A report has been filed and the van was fingerprinted, but the leads don’t seem promising. The police stated that this is apparently a common occurrence for the area. We are all in disbelief, but are very fortunate for everyone to be ok.
After discussing the situation as a group, we would like to try to continue on with this tour. But to be able to do this, we will need your help. We have all taken a huge hit financially, and we cannot continue on without some sort of support. We have set up a paypal account for any amount of donations to assist us for the duration of the tour.
Below is the paypal email to make donations to.

Any and all support will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.”

Norwegian progressive metallers Leprous have released the first single from their upcoming album Coal. The album is due for release May 28th in North America and May 20 in Europe via InsideOut Music and is the band’s fifth full length album. The record was produced by Heidi Solberg Tveitan & Vegard Tveitan of Mnemosyne, and Jens Bogren & Tony Lindgren mixed and mastered the album at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Symphony X, Kreator).
You can find the first single called “Chronic” streaming at HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com by clicking right here.
Leprous singer/synth-player Einar Solberg had this to say about the song:
“We’re delighted to finally be able to give you the first taste of our upcoming album ‘Coal’! ‘Coal’ is a melancholic, soulful and very dynamic album. Where ‘Bilateral’ was playful and ‘in-your face’, ‘Coal’ is subtle and floating. ‘Chronic’ however, is of the more dynamic songs of the album. With a heavy basis, the song pinches a nerve LEPROUS has never before explored.”

Bulgarian progressive metal act Wartime has posted a new music video for the track “Palette of Grey,” which is taken from the band’s latest album Solar Messiah, which was self-released last December. The clip, which was directed and edited by Denitza Kirilova, Silvia Shuleva, and Nikola Koparov, can be viewed here.
Orange Goblin are pure rock n' roll... feared, respected and mentioned in whispers by awed rock fans and youngsters across the world. Orange Goblin are the modern UK metal heroes who never give up and always keep kicking ass. Back with their first live album, the pants-seat scorching A EULOGY FOR THE FANS (Candlelight), "The Goblin" just get better with age. Seriously, could this band be any more awesome? I think not.
