STONE SOUR to Release HOUSE of GOLD and BONES- Part 2 2013-02-04 13:52 CET STONE SOUR to release HOUSE OF GOLD AND BONES- Part 2 Grammy-nominated rock band Stone Sour will release House of Gold & Bones Pt. 2, the second part of their two album series, House of Gold & Bones, on Roadrunner Records , April 10, 2013. Recorded at Sound Farm Studios just outside of the band's native Des Moines, Iowa with producer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse) at the helm, House of Gold & Bones Pt. 1 of the album has met with rave reviews the world over. The first single from House of Gold & BonesPt. 2, “Do Me A Favor” will be available digitally on February 12, 2013; the video for “Do Me A Favor” will be directed by Phil Mucci whose video for “High On Fire” was named best video of 2012 by Revolver Magazine. The first single from House of Gold & BonesPt. 1, “Absolute Zero”, raced up the rock charts the world over and became a listener favorite. Singer Corey Taylor recently performed at Sundance as part of the Sound City Players, Dave Grohl’s band of musicians assembled to play the original music they created in his directorial debut documentary, Sound City. Sound City recounts the history of the Van Nuys, CA recording studio where Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Neil Young and of course Nirvana and Slipknot recorded so many of their classic works. The film also explores the human element of playing and recording music, as Grohl invites Sound City veterans to create new, original songs using the hallowed Neve 8028 recording console that Grohl purchases from the decommissioned studio in 2011. Adding yet more depth to the bands creativity, music is just one of the mediums used to tell the House of Gold & Bones story, and Taylor recently revealed details of the new project with Dark Horse Comics of the same name which follows, and expands on, the story contained within the albums. With stunning covers from Jason Shawn Alexander (Empty Zone, Batman, Abe Sapien), this limited four-issue series marks Taylor’s debut in the comics genre. The first of the series will be out on April 17, 2013. for more information about House Of Gold And Bones- Part 1 and 2 , please contact Darren Edwards.

  • LE CHAOS MAITRISE Quand on Parle De « Cogneur », Le Nom De Roy Mayorga S’Impose
    Profil ROY STONE SOUR MAYORGA LE CHAOS MAITRISE Quand on parle de « cogneur », le nom de Roy Mayorga s’impose. Ancien complice de Max Cavalera, Roy a bâti sa réputation au sein du groupe Soulfly à la fin des années 90, avant de rejoindre brièvement Sepultura en 2006. La même année, il rejoint Stone Sour, l’autre groupe de Corey Taylor (tête pensante de Slipknot), avec lequel il connaît la consécration. Sept ans et quatre albums plus tard, le combo est à l’affiche des plus grands festivals de la planète comme le Sonisphere d’Amneville où nous avons passé un moment privilégié avec le drummer en juin dernier. 24 | BATTERIE | 2013 « J’ai 43 ans, je tourne depuis 25 ans.

  • Wall of Paladins™ Delivers Overwhelming Color on Stone Sour Tour
    10-Oct-2018 Wall of Paladins™ Delivers Overwhelming Color on Stone Sour Tour Stone Sour may be the opening act on the U.S. leg of Ozzy Osbourne’s “No More Tours 2” tour but the American hard rock band is making an impression with the help of lighting designer Scott Warner and a dynamic wall of color. On the road since late August with The Prince of Darkness, Stone Sour has made a unique opening act impact with a “huge wall of overwhelming color” made up of multifunctional Elation Professional Paladin™ LED effect lights supplied by Bandit Lites. “I knew coming into this tour that I didn’t have access to LEDs and with Stone Sour I need to have my colors flash quickly,” said Warner, who also serves as the tour’s lighting director/programmer. “I could’ve done a pod of small moving heads, but with the amount of fixtures the Ozzy tour was giving me, who’d see them? So I took the original pod idea that was used on our previous tours and decided to go with a wall of bright LED fixtures that would hold their own to what was given to me by the Ozzy tour.” Warner created four upstage pods of Paladins, versatile hybrid luminaires with zoom that can function as a bright blinder or strobe, powerful wash light, or, because of its multiple pixel zone control, pixel map and eye candy looks. Each pod contains 9 fixtures in a 3 x 3 matrix for a total of 36 units that play a prominent role in the lighting design.

  • ROADRUNNER Wird 30! XXX: Three Decades of Roadrunner Records Bringt Modernen Metal Auf Den Punkt
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] ROADRUNNER wird 30! XXX: Three Decades of Roadrunner Records bringt modernen Metal auf den Punkt Ihren dreißigsten Geburtstag zelebrieren Roadrunner Records, unbezweifelt eines der renommiertesten und authentischsten Labels des Rock und Metal, mit einer umfassenden Schau über das enorme Spektrum von Musik aus dem Heavy-Bereich, dem sich das Label von Anfang an gewidmet hat. Das 4-CD-Boxset XXX: THREE DECADES OF ROADRUNNER RECORDS präsentiert 54 Tracks von dutzenden Bands, die es zu Kultstatus in der Szene gebracht haben. Darunter befinden sich Urgesteine der Metal-Szene wie King Diamond, Biohazard, Type- O-Negative und Life Of Agony genauso wie die aktuellen Größen Airbourne, Machine Head, Killswitch Engage und Trivium. Viele von den Bands haben schon lange den Sprung in den Metal-Mainstream geschafft und dürften auch dem Uneingeweihten bekannt sein, etwa Soulfly, Megadeth, Nickelback, Dream Theater und Korn. Aber es gibt auch Klassiker zu bewundern, etwa Rush und Lynyrd Skynyrd, und avantgardistische Indie-Bands wie Dresden Dolls. Ein großartiges Portfolio eines Labels, bei dem nur ein Kriterium zählt: Es muss rocken. Das Box-Set, das am 27. September erscheint, wird in einer luxuriösen, ausklappbaren-Box angeboten und ist mit Liner-Notes von Metal-Veteran Chris Dick ausgerüstet, der die Geschichte von Roadrunner akribisch aufgearbeitet hat. In den Texten findet man aufschlussreiche Zitate von Cee Wessels, dem Gründer des Labels, seinem legendären A&R-Manager Monte Conner sowie von illustren Künstlern wie King Diamond, Trivium-Frontmann Matt Heafy, Opeth-Bandleader Mikael Åkerfeldt, Slipknot-Drummer Joey Jordison, Max Cavalera (Mastermind von Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy) und vielen anderen.
