Last year, we saw the surprise release of Avenged Sevenfold's seventh studio album, The Stage. The band is now expanding upon its recent body of work by releasing brand new tracks over the course of the next several months. The first new single is a cover of the classic Mexican folk song "Malagueña Salerosa," making it the band's first-ever song in Spanish. The track and its accompanying studio video are available below.

Produced by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool), "Malagueña Salerosa" features contributions from horn players Sarah Bauza and Rachel Tate Herrmann.

"We've said all along that we want The Stage to be a different and exciting listening experience," said vocalist M. Shadows. "For us, the idea of turning an album into a living piece of art and adding new installations is really intriguing. It expands the journey. We wanted to do the song justice and that meant singing in its original language. It was difficult, but I worked on it for weeks and had a Spanish-speaking friend come over daily to go over pronunciation. I also brought him to the studio to produce the vocals. It was important to me to get it right."

Added guitarist Synyster Gates about the new release, "I've always loved that song. There have been a few interesting interpretations over the years, including Chingon's version from the Kill Bill Volume 2 soundtrack. That's a great example of how a timeless song can be made relevant with a creative modern take. The structure, arrangement and incredible vocal work of their rendition was inspiring."

Avenged Sevenfold are currently on tour with Metallica.

Upcoming animated series, The Olympians, will feature voice-over work from a wealth of rock and metal musicians, including Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under, ex-Cannibal Corpse), Jimmy "Urine" Euringer (Mindless Self Indulgence, Guardians of the Galaxy 2), Stevic Mackay (Twelve Foot Ninja), Bill Gaal (Nothingface, In for the Kill, Knives Out), Rob Kersey (Psychostick), Sean Zatorsky (Chimaira, Daath, Sinsaenum), Richard Thomas (Mushroomhead, Ventana), Matt Foran (Circus of Dead Sqirrels, Ventana), and Charred Walls of the Damned guitarist and producer Jason Suecof who has mixed bands such as All That Remains, the Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel and others. A trailer for the pilot episode can be seen below.

"Lending my voice for an animated feature is something I haven't had the privilege of attempting or being involved with ... So I feel pretty lucky and excited to be involved with The Olympians!!" said Barnes.

According to the official summary of the pilot, "the Greek gods have been quietly living on Mount Olympus, but they now face foreclosure. They will be forced to try and join a more popular religion to find a new home."

The Olympians is a comedic cartoon series about the Greek gods falling on hard times and struggling to find a place in modern society. Directed by Bob Spang (Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear), the pilot was recently screened at the Portland Comedy Film Fest where it was met with critical acclaim and awarded the title of "Best Animated Comedy." The series is scored by Cormac Bluestone (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and will also feature voices by actor Jon Etheridge (Battlefield Friends, Doraleous and Associates).

There is no official date or location where the series might air at this time.

On June 8th, 1992, Faith No More dropped the giant WTF bomb known as Angel Dust on an unsuspecting world. The follow-up to 1989's The Real Thing, the genre-busting Bay Area band's platinum-selling breakthrough, the brilliantly warped Angel Dust aggressively defied industry and fan expectations alike by serving up a dark, difficult and occasionally disjointed set of 13 songs (12 originals, plus a cover of John Barry's theme from the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy). None bore the slightest resemblance whatsoever to "Epic," Faith No More's Top 10 hit from 1990 — or to anything available in record stores at the time. "We wanted to make the most [of The Real Thing's success] by putting something interesting out there while we had people's ears," bassist and co-founder Billy Gould explained to The Guardian in July 2015.

It was interesting, all right, though it wound up severely alienating — or going completely over the heads of — many of the folks who initially heard it. "I thought that it was a great record [but] it was dense and probably too clever for its own good," singer Mike Patton told Kerrang! in March 1995. "We made it more difficult for everybody, even ourselves!" 

Indeed. Though Angel Dust peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, it moved significantly fewer copies than its platinum-selling predecessor, and received some markedly less-than-enthusiastic reviews, especially from the American press. (Entertainment Weekly called it "probably the most uncommercial follow-up to a hit record ever.") As the years have passed, however, the album has been positively re-evaluated by critics and embraced by FNM fans as a masterpiece, while younger bands like the Deftones, System of a Down and Dillinger Escape Plan have praised the album for (and followed in the footsteps of) its fearless juxtaposition of stylistic and sonic elements. Faith No More's most recent tour, in 2015, saw the band incorporating over half of Angel Dust's songs into their ever-changing set lists, with "Caffeine" and "Midlife Crisis" included nearly every night.

"We just decided that no matter what, we would try to follow our instincts as much as possible, and do what feels right, with the hope that it would make a connection somewhere," Gould told the Faith No More Blog in 2012. "In the beginning, it felt like the gamble didn't work. But now… it's extremely validating to feel like, in the end, we did make the connection and that our original instincts were correct."Here are 10 things you might not know about Angel Dust.

1. Angel Dust was the first Faith No More album where Mike Patton had a hand in the music.
While the success of The Real Thing turned Mike Patton into a star, few people realized at the time that the singer hadn't had any creative input into the album's music. Having parted ways with singer Chuck Mosely following a difficult 1988 tour of Europe, the remaining members of the band — Gould, keyboardist Roddy Bottum, guitarist Jim Martin and drummer Mike Bordin — had written the music for The Real Thing before bringing Mr. Bungle frontman Patton into the fold; Patton then wrote the lyrics for all of the album's songs in two weeks. "The Real Thing had been like someone else's, someone else's band, it had felt like an obligatory thing," the singer told journalist Steffan Chirazi in 1992. But on Angel Dust, Patton was able to stretch his creative wings, contributing music for six of the album's tracks, including "Caffeine," "Midlife Crisis" and "Malpractice."

2. Mike Patton's lyrics for of "Land of Sunshine" combine fortune cookies with questions from a Church of Scientology personality test.
Ever one to take inspiration from unusual sources, Patton literally pulled several of lines for "Land of Sunshine" from fortune cookies. "I bought bags and bags of fortune cookies and took phrases from them," he told Reflex magazine in June 1992. "You are an angel heading for a land of sunshine," read one of them; "Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake," read another. Patton then juxtaposed these positive affirmations with several questions lifted from the Oxford Capacity Analysis test, a personality test of dubious worth that the Church of Scientology has offered to potential converts for decades: "Do you sing or whistle just for fun?" "Do others push you around?" "Does emotional music have quite an effect on you?" The creepy combination made for an appropriately unhinged opening track to the album.

3. "Midlife Crisis" was partly inspired by Madonna.
The first single released from Angel Dust, the ominous and eerie "Midlife Crisis" had the working title of "Madonna" during the album's recording sessions. There was a reason for this, as Patton revealed at the time: "The song is based on a lot of observation and a lot of speculation," he said. "But in sort of a pointed way it's kind of about Madonna ... I think it was a particular time where I was being bombarded with her image on TV and in magazines and her whole schtick kind of speaks to me in that way ... like she's going through some sort of problem. It seems she's getting a bit desperate." Twenty-five years on, it's hard to argue with his assessment.

4. "Midlife Crisis" is the only song in pop music history to sample both Simon and Garfunkel and the Beastie Boys.
Faith No More utilized a number of samples on Angel Dust, something that didn't sit well with guitarist Jim Martin (see No. 9) or their record company Warner Bros., the latter of whom thought that the band's rock-oriented audience might be confused by the use of a production technique that was still primarily associated with hip-hop. But while "Midlife Crisis" employed samples from Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia" and the Beastie Boys' "Car Thief," it still sounded unmistakably like Faith No More. Using "Cecilia" to set the song's groove was Roddy Bottum's idea: "It was one of the first songs I heard when I was a kid," the keyboardist revealed in a 2013 Q&A with the Faith No More Blog. "And I think I sampled it 'cause I had a funny relationship with it. The song was kind of built around the rhythm of that sample."

5. "Be Aggressive" is about man-on-man oral sex.
The only song on Angel Dust that Mike Patton had no role in writing, the hard-chugging "Be Aggressive" was penned entirely by keyboardist Roddy Bottum, who wryly juxtaposed a cheerleader chant popular at sporting events with sado-masochistic lyrics about oral sex between men. Though Bottum wouldn't officially come out of the closet until several months after the record was released, his sexual orientation was already known to his bandmates when he presented Patton with the song's lyrics. "It was a pretty fun thing to write," Bottum told The Advocate in 1993, "knowing that Mike was going to have to put himself on the line and go up onstage and sing these vocals." Patton, to his credit, took it like a man. 

6. The band covered "Midnight Cowboy" because Billy Gould was obsessed with easy listening music from the 1950s and 60s.
With its wistful melody and stately tempo, the John Barry-penned instrumental "Midnight Cowboy" (originally featured in the soundtrack of the 1969 film of the same name) was an inspired and unexpected choice to close Angel Dust. But while Mike Patton's love of 1960s soundtracks would subsequently inform his work with Mr. Bungle and his 2010 solo album Mondo Cane, the idea to cover "Midnight Cowboy" actually came from Billy Gould. "I went through some strange period where I was listening nonstop to an old San Francisco pop radio station called Magic 61, that played stuff like the Mills Brothers, Gogie Grant, Tony Bennett," he told the Faith No More Blog. "'Midnight Cowboy' was a byproduct of this."

7. The video for "Everything's Ruined" looked cheap, because Warner Bros. couldn't (or wouldn't) give the band enough money to make a better one.
One of the most controversial videos in the Faith No More catalog, the Ken Kerslake-directed clip for "Everything's Ruined" shows the band goofing around in front of a series of absurdly unconnected video projections. Some fans love the clip for the way it highlights the band's sardonic sense of humor, while others find it irritatingly half-assed and cheap-looking — but according to Billy Gould, the cheapness of the clip was partly out of necessity. "Warner's spent the video budget on [the clips for 'Small Victory' and 'Midlife Crisis'], so that when it came time to 'Everything's Ruined' there wasn't much left," he told the Faith No More Blog in 2012. "It was our idea to take this further and make a video as cheap as humanly possible, in one of those video booths like they had at county fairs, where you sing and dance in front of a blue screen. We didn't quite get to do that, but we got it as close as possible."

8. The band has (almost) never played "Smaller and Smaller" live.
While Faith No More have played nearly every song from Angel Dust at least a handful of times in concert — and several of the songs have continued to feature regularly in their set lists — the band has been exceedingly reluctant to play the majestic "Smaller and Smaller" live. According to Setlist.fm, they've only played it once, during their October 14th, 1992 show at Burruss Hall in Blacksburg, Virginia. "For some reason or another, we tend to gravitate towards what is called 'mid-tempo' in our writing … In other words, songs that are not fast, but not exactly ballads either," Billy Gould told the Faith No More Blog in 2012. "This is all great to listen to, but when it comes to playing live, too many mid-tempo songs make the set really boring, for us, and for the crowd … "Smaller and Smaller" while pretty grandiose in concept, always felt too long and too plodding to even consider doing live. And truth be told, we were never quite as attached to that one as some of the others."

9. Angel Dust was the last Faith No More album with guitarist Jim Martin — but not because he didn't like the music.
The most unabashedly metal-oriented member of Faith No More, guitarist Jim Martin seemed like the odd man out on Angel Dust; he only received writing credits on two of the album's songs — "Kindergarten" and "Jizzlobber" — and there was far less overtly-metallic guitar featured across the record. So when Martin began to visibly lose interest in the band, many believed it was because he was unhappy with the album's musical direction. But according to an interview that the semi-reclusive Martin gave to a Faith No More fan site in 2012, his discontent had less to do with the album's music than with the stressful vibe of the recording sessions.

"I wanted more of the record to happen in the studio and Bill wanted every last tack nailed down before we went in," he explained. "I wanted to spend time with it, management and the record company wanted to rush it out the door. There were a bunch of journalists in the studio. We were paying for a bunch of sampling that we could have created. [Co-producer] Matt Wallace was calling me on the phone complaining about Mike Patton's performance. Management and record company were calling me complaining about Mike Patton's performance and desire for outside projects … The pressure was on, and everyone wanted to be in the studio with me while I recorded, endlessly tinkering and fucking with me and fucking with Matt, and Matt is a really fucking wound-up guy already." Martin's unresolved resentments over the recording sessions (and various band business decisions) would continue to fester, eventually resulting in his firing in the fall of 1993.

10. Angel Dust sold much better in other countries than it did in the U.S.
Less than three months after its release, Angel Dust achieved gold status — selling 500,000 copies — in the U.S., but sales quickly dropped off thereafter, and the album was widely considered a commercial disappointment compared to The Real Thing. In Britain, however, Angel Dust actually outsold The Real Thing (thanks in part to the presence of "Easy," a cover of the 1977 Commodores hit, which wasn't included on the album's original American release), and the record has gone on to sell roughly three-million copies overseas, compared to less than a million in U.S. Not that Faith No More have ever been about album sales … 

"You can look back and rack up your gold records on the wall and it doesn't mean a fucking thing if you know that at some point you had to pretend to be someone you weren't," Billy Gould told Metal Hammer in 2015. "Faith No More, for all the huge crowds we played to, for all the albums we sold, for all the acclaim we got — we really didn't behave like or believe in the same things that a rock band was supposed to. I don't recall money or 'business' shit ever getting talked about. I don't recall arguments about anything but the music and that was just the way we made music. To be able to keep that focus, to see through the shit and try and gain your immortality through music — that's something that I think we stuck to and never lost sight of. I'm totally proud of that, totally proud that I was part of something that never compromised and never took the easy way."

Progressive metallers the Contortionist have shared the official music video for the song "Reimagined," which is taken from their upcoming fourth studio album, Clairvoyant. The clip can be seen below.

The video, which was directed by Erez Bader, sees the band performing in a flooded room along with surreal, mind-bending visuals.

Speaking with Revolver about Clairvoyant, keyboardist Eric Guenther said, "A wise person once said that you're never really finished — you just have to stop. We definitely understood that saying on this record, because even though we've had more time to make it than in the past, we've still been obsessing over the details until the last possible minute.

"People who have heard it have said that it sounds like a natural progression for the band. What we're doing does feel new for everyone in the band, in a way that's super-exciting. We are making some strong-arm decisions to go in certain artistic directions, and the fact that we're stretching some different muscles is encouraging to me. There's always that lingering feeling of, 'Are we going the right direction with this?' But we're really going for something here that's a little different."

Vocalist Mike Lessard added, "I think some bands get caught up in thinking that they've got to stick to the same sound as their last record," adds Lessard, "but we've always been a band that's embraced change. We don't phone it in at all; we definitely go in there and try to make the best thing we possibly can. We wanted to write a record that we could be proud of—and at the end of the day, I think we did that."

Clairvoyant will be released on September 15th via Entertainment One Music/Good Fight Music. The albu can be pre-ordered digitally at this location or physically here and here.

Rock Im Park Festival took place over the weekend, June 2nd through June 4th, in Nuremberg, Germany. During Prophets of Rage's June 3 performance at the fest, System of a Down singer Serj Tankian joined the band to perform Audioslave's "Like a Stone" to pay tribute to late singer Chris Cornell. Video footage of the performance can be seen below.

Tankian and Cornell both contributed music to the soundtrack for the film The Promise, the latter of whom penned the movie's title track and main theme song. During an interview with Rolling Stone, Tankian spoke of the last time he saw the late singer, which was during the film's red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on April 12. "He was doing great, doing press – fighting the good fight", Tankian said. "We had this long chat, sitting next to each other." He commented that Cornell was "one of those guys," who "tried to make everyone in the room feel comfortable with themselves. He was generous that way, with his emotions and time."

He added that Cornell told him, "'I'm really excited. I'm doing this tour with Soundgarden. I've got these other ideas.' He had plans, man."

The Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman died by suicide on May 18th.

CKY have shared "Replaceable," the second new single from their upcoming fifth studio album, The Phoenix, which is the first studio album from the band since 2009's Carver City. The song can be heard below.

"Replaceable is a rockin track. Fucking solid," said guitarist and vocalist Chad I Ginsburg. "I would say it is generally about anyone that gets in your way, holds you back or slows your potential with their own blatant insecurity, fears or sickness. Individuals that you are ultimately and knowingly covering for as they selfishly sabotage you. And then realizing how much better you can be without any losers or life suckers as obstacles. Rock n roll power.  Onward. Strength from within."

Speaking about the band's approach to the new album, Ginsburg explained, "We're grown adults now with an eagle-eye perspective on who we are, what we do, and how to do it right. None of us are out there in the clouds. We're pretty well-grounded people that have an honest perspective on where we're at."

The Phoenix, which was engineered and mixed at Rancho De La Luna studios in Joshua Tree, C.A., will hit stores on June 16th via Entertainment One. Physical copies can be pre-ordered here while digital pre-orders are available at this location.

CKY will hit the road this summer on this year's Vans Warped Tour lineup. The trek kicks off on June 16th in Seattle, Washington at CenturyLink Field and will conclude on August 6th in Pomona, California at the Pomona Fairplex.
