Today, Revolver is pleased to reveal an excerpt from The Ocean's Pelagial DVD. The DVD, which is being screened as live video projections during the band's current Pelagial world tour, is a conceptual movie by Craig Murray, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails, Converge, etc. This movie, which offers up a year's worth of shooting, cutting, and editing, visualizes the journey into the depths and completes the holistic music and visual-art project that defines the Pelagial concept. The film is inundated with spectacular oceanic footage, parts of which The Ocean's own Robin Staps, an avid scuba diver, filmed himself in Australia. In addition, Pelagial features a female protagonist (who ironically goes by the name "Arielle" in real life). The girl is seen enduring various stages of fear, lust, terror, pain and joy, as she sinks towards the inscrutable depths of the Hadopelagic zone at the end of the album, and metaphorically, deeper and deeper into the depths of her own psyche.

Comments Robin Staps: "The album concept follows two separate but related strains: One is the obvious journey from the surface towards the depths of the sea, crossing the five Pelagial depth zones. The second one is loosely based on Andrey Tarkowsky's movie Stalker, which is also a journey through zones, but an inward journey, form the surface into the depths of the human psyche, towards the origins of our wishes and desires. This is the central theme that the lyrics of the album are orbiting around. The Pelagial movie takes up themes from and makes reference to both of these conceptual strains, and fuzes them together, in an abstract, artistic way."

The Pelagial DVD also comes with a 5:1 Dolby surround mix of the instrumental album and is currently only available along with the special limited-edition acrylic box set versions of the album, which were released through the band's own Pelagic Records, on both CD and 4x10" vinyl formats, in April. These special acrylic boxes contained the CD digipak or the two vinyl gatefolds respectively, which were "buried" underneath five thick, silk-screen printed acrylic layers colored in different hues of transparent blue, again reflecting the individual pelagic depth zones. The vinyl box sets sold out within nine days in February 2013, by direct preorder only. A second edition, including a repress of the vinyl on three-color split wax, will be made available for preorder shortly, and released in December through Pelagic Records. The CD box sets are still available through Pelagic-Records.com/CDs.

Without taking too long to recover from their Monday-morning visit to the Howard Stern Show, Metallica visited Comedy Central's The Colbert Report last night.

As you can see below, the crew sat down for an entertaining interview (bottom video) and performed two tracks, "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Master Of Puppets," both of which you can see and hear below.

Of course, Metallica are deep into promotional mode for their new 3D movie, Through The Never, which opens Friday (September 27) on IMAX screens before expanding to more theaters on October 4.

Look out for more Metallica updates!

Michigan rhymer Prozak recently released his new album of dark and sinister rock-infused hip-hop, We All Fall Down. Today, he has teamed with Revolver to premiere the music video for the track "Distress Call."

"The song 'Distress Call' is just that: a call of distress," Prozak says. "Take the lyrical content and machine-gun-patterned drums as an omen for the impending social and economical collapse on the horizon. 'Distress Call' is indeed a wake-up call for the masses who have over slept for far too long. This is an S.O.S signal, this is a ship sinking at sea, this is a plane going down with complete radio silence. Can we find our way, will anybody be there to rescue us, can we take control of our own destiny before we all fall down?"

Check out the clip below, and let us know what you think in the comments. We All Fall Down is available on iTunes and Amazon.

Today, RevolverMag.com presents the exclusive premiere of a new live video by Flying Colors, a band featuring guitarist Steve Morse, drummer Mike Portnoy, bassist Dave LaRue, singer/guitarist Casey McPherson and keyboardist Neal Morse.

"All Falls Down" is from the band's upcoming CD/DVD/Blu-ray, Live In Europe, which will be released October 15 through Music Theories Recordings.

Live In Europe captures the quintet performing in Tilburg, Holland, on September 20, 2012. Directed and edited by Bernhard Baran (Guns N' Roses, the Cure, Porcupine Tree), the concert presents songs from the band's studio album plus favorites by individual band members.

It includes "Blue Ocean," "Shoulda Coulda Woulda," "Love Is What I'm Waiting For," "Can't Find a Way" (Endochine/Casey McPherson), "The Storm," "Odyssey" (Dixie Dregs), "Forever In A Daze," "Hallelujah" (Cohen), "Better Than Walking Away," "Kayla," "Fool In My Heart," "Spur of the Moment" (Dave LaRue), "Repentance" (Dream Theater), "June" (Spock's Beard), "All Falls Down," "Everything Changes" and "Infinite Fire."

"What a band, what a tour," Portnoy says. "The magic that we captured on the debut album was only further developed and cemented on Flying Colors' 2012 tour. Each night on stage I felt like I was part of something very special and cherished every moment of it. As it was such a brief and limited tour, I'm so glad we captured it here to now share with fans all around the world that didn't get to see this special band in person. Enjoy!"
