Strap on your astronaut helmets and say sayonara to Japan! Helloween are blasting off, leaving behind the electrifying energy of their powerful lead single “This Is Tokyo” and setting a course for something even more spectacular: outer space. Written by guitarist Sascha Gerstner, “Universe (Gravity For Hearts)” is a stunning, cinematic journey that does more than evoke the vast mystery of the cosmos. It reminds us of the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our world. The universe is an endless expanse, a place where it’s easy to get lost in thought, but also where we can tap into unknown energy and find the strength to overcome life’s greatest challenges.

Slipknot Shares The Full Details of Their Debut Album Anniversary Boxed-Set – “Prosthetics” Demo Version Streaming Now
UPDATED: Slipknot has announced the full details of this boxed set and all unreleased material. The band will release 1,899 more of the limited edition boxed sets for a total of 1999 until they sell out. Buy at the link below.
As part of the digital rollout for their 25th anniversary edition of their 1999 self-titled debut, Slipknot have released a demo version of “Prosthetics.” The track is one of 59 bonus recordings featured in the deluxe set.
Slipknot have opened their vault for the 25th anniversary of their 1999 self-titled debut, revealing a huge new box version will sell out, and was curated by M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan. The set—pressed on “blood-filled” vinyl—is limited to just 100 copies worldwide and reportedly sold out instantly at $250 per set. Clocking in with 59 tracks total, the release digs deep into the band’s early days, including rare Indigo Ranch demos produced by Ross Robinson, alternate mixes, live cuts, and 40 previously unreleased recordings. Though Roadrunner Records had previously issued expanded editions, this new set was curated entirely by Clown, now dubbed the band’s “caretaker.” Their 1999 debut album—which went gold in early 2000, platinum by May, and now sits at 2x platinum—was commemorated heavily last year with a full 25th anniversary tour. The band has now announced standard versions of the set as well as DSP pre-saves. Continue reading
