The Defiled to support Coal Chamber on UK tour

INDUSTRIAL metallers The Defiled have stepped in to replace American Head Charge as support on Coal Chamber's UK tour.

Soil and Dope also make the line up for the shows which begin in Leeds on May 20th before taking in Norwich, Warwick, Nottingham, Glasgow, Bristol, Exeter, Brighton, Wolverhampton, Manchester and then London on May 31st.

Londoners The Defiled have recently been holed up in Dave Grohl's 606 Studios in Los Angeles working on new material with producer John 'Lou' Lousteau (Foo Fighters, The Birds Of Satan, Against Me!).

Frontman Stitch D said: "Getting to record at 606 has been such an insane experience. My two favourite bands of all time are Foo Fighters and Nirvana, so being able to record at Dave Grohl's place is utterly incredible.

"Not only to be surrounded by all the guitars, drums and memorabilia that I grew up watching on TV and looking at in magazines, but to record on the famous Sound City desk which the greatest albums of all time have been recorded on.

"I actually used to have a picture on my wall in my bedroom when I was 13 of Kurt's smashed guitar on the desk where Nirvana were recording Nevermind. Crazy how some things turn out."

Tribes return with second album

TRIBES are back with their second album, ‘Wish To Scream’ on May 20th. 

The first single proper to be released will be How The Other Half Live and the band can reveal the video above.
 
‘How The Other Half Live’ is one of two tracks written by Dan White on the album. It compiles his run-ins with police, bouncers, ticket inspectors and other institutionalised bullies into a brash Sreamadelic blues rocker condemning power-hungry authority figures in all their forms.

‘Wish To Scream’ was produced by Kevin Augunas and recorded at the famed Sound City Studio in LA, where Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ and Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ were brought to life and was recently the subject of a documentary by Dave Grohl.
 
Their next run of live dates for the band in the UK will come in two waves – kicking things off regionally from April 6th-12th, followed by a second run the week ‘Wish To Scream’ is released from May 21st. All dates will culminate in the band's biggest London headline show to date at the 3,000 capacity Roundhouse in Camden on May 29th. See full dates below.

Elton John appears on new QOTSA

ELTON John has confirmed he plays on the forthcoming Queens Of The Stone Age album.

The 65-year-old made the revelation to sometime QOTSA drummer Dave Grohl, who was guest presenting the US TV show Chelsea Lately.

But the singer/songwriter/pianist/diva admitted the experience was a little unusual, having joined Josh Homme and the boys after recording with Engelbert Humperdinck.

He told Grohl: "I went down and sang with him and then drove three blocks, in the Valley, I went from Engelbert to Queens of the Stone Age, which was, you know, a bit of a mind-fuck."

Grohl told of how the dry-witted Elton asked the QOTSA guys whether he would be playing a ballad and also said he is not often asked to contribute to other artists' albums because they assume he will turn them down.

But he pointed out that he played on Alice In Chains' Black Gives Way To Blue in 2009.

The new QOTSA album is due out this year.

Grohl and Taylor unite on Sound City track

A COLLABORATION featuring Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl with Slipknot and Stone Sour's Corey Taylor has been released on YouTube.

From Can To Can't is taken from Grohl's directorial debut Sound City, a documentary on the legendary recording studios of the same name in California.

Scott Reeder of Kyuss and Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick also feature on the track.

Taylor takes lead vocals on the track, which is reminiscent of Foo Fighters track I Should've Known from their most recent album Wasting Light.

The much-anticipated Sound City soundtrack also features Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Man, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Rage Against The Machine's Brad Wilk, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Trent Reznor, Chris Goss and Alain Johannes.

Grohl's former Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear also appear, as do Foo Fighters cohorts Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett.
