“We’re really looking forward to returning to Rock on the Range with a batch of brand new killer Alice tunes to play for everyone!” says Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains.
“Head is back!!,” Korn singer Jonathan Davis comments. “Rock On The Range is going to start it all off!! Get ready, we are going to hit it hard!!”
“Bush are thrilled to be playing Rock On The Range with such great bands,” Bush frontman Gavin Rosdale says. “We look forward to seeing you all out there.”
“This massive lineup has scratched our seven-year itch!” says Gary Spivack, co-executive producer of the event for Right Arm Entertainment. “Getting Soundgarden for their first Ohio play in two decades and having seminal acts Alice in Chains, Korn, Volbeat, and Papa Roach return along with bands new to Rock On The Range that include Smashing Pumpkins and Bush, and everything in between—the spectrum of rock n roll is covered…three days of constant energy. Rock On The Range is truly where rock lives.”
“Our goal with Rock On The Range is to constantly create new and interesting ways to expand the event and give even more value to our fans,” comments Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the event for AEG Live. “In 2013, we’ve added a comedy tent within the site that will be curated by The Funny Bone comedy club. Having a slate of incredible, up-and-coming comedians to riff on the rock experience will be a great change of pace for the weekend. The site layout is also changing dramatically in 2013 to create better event flow, to add more interactive fan activity to the festival, and to allow even more people to experience the higher caliber of talent on the second stage this year.”

Leading up to the end of the year, Revolver has asked some of our favorite artists to pick their Top Albums of 2012 and tell us why each record rules. Here, Jake Pelzl (pictured left), vocalist of the deathcore band Defiler, selects his faves.

4. Papa Roach, The Connection
“The bands addition of electronics and new soundscapes has breathed fresh life into an already amazing band. Five stars.”
3. Whitechapel, Whitechapel
“I feel like the band is really coming into a sound of their own, and this album has a very high replay value.”

It’s finally October, so we can start counting down the days until Halloween. Hell, we love Halloween so much we have a special issue called Rock! Shock! and Horror on newsstands now and available for purchase online right here. Because good scares often intersect with great metal, we asked Jacoby Shaddix (pictured left) of Papa Roach about his favorite on-screen zombies.
Night of the Living Dead
“The original. I saw this at a very young age and it freaked me the fuck out! I was afraid to be in my room alone after I saw this movie. But, for some reason I started watching it obsessively. That’s when I got over my fear and realized that I had a true love for the macabre.”
By a huge margin, the voters have declared Papa Roach’s The Connection the Album of the Week. This hard-rock band won our poll, but check out the other top five vote-getters:
1. Papa Roach – The Connection
2. Three Days Grace – Transit of Venus
3. Muse – The 2nd Law
4. AxeWound – Vultures
5. The Amity Affliction – Chasing Ghosts
Stay tuned for this week’s poll, which will be live on RevolverMag.com on Wednesday, October 10. Until then, you can check Papa Roach’s “Still Swingin’” off The Connection below:
