Back in the spring when the Revolution 3 (or Rev 3) tour was announced, fans of a certain aged yelped with glee. It’s not often you get a chance to see three of the biggest bands of the 1990s in the same place, let alone the same tour unless it was a festival. And likely not in America. But that is just what happened when Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Cult blew into town to play the Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix. The rotating headliner worthy sets from each band meant no matter who your favorite band was, you would see a full set. Bush closed the show tonight, with STP second and The Cult opening, but really each could have closed it out. Check out the set list for each band and exclusive photos of each set by Isabel Uzcategui of Originate Designs Photography for Ghost Cult. Continue reading →
1990s underground metal legends The Clay People are returning with a new album later this month! Demon Hero and Other Extraordinary Phantasmagoric Anomalies & Fables on September 28th. The new 11-song album was recorded at OverIt Studios in Albany, NY. The Clay People started originally as a prominent industrial band Clay People but also had a varying style of alternative metal music that made an impact at the time. You can watch the lyric video for the first single, ‘Illuminatus’, below.
Demon Hero and Other Extraordinary Phantasmagoric Anomalies & Fables track listing:
Utopian Lie
BloodLetter
NOW
Illuminatus
genRX
Own Worst Enemy
HeX Machine
Strange Day
Palegod
Colossus
Firestarter
Singer Dan Neet described the album as “capturing us at a creative peak that was forged from what was, at times, a tenuous, cathartic and finally unifying recording process that reinvigorated and focused the band.”
The Clay People also called in extended members of its musical family to contribute to Demon Hero, with Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley, The Cult, OWL) contributing bass to the band’s reinterpretation of fan favorite ‘Strange Day’ and ‘genRX.’ Walter Flakus of Stabbing Westward and one-time Clay People member contributed keys, and programmer Wade Alin, who appeared on the band’s self-titled release, returns here as well.
