Artist

According to a post on Tool's official Facebook page, drummer Danny Carey will be appearing on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' as the 8G Band's guest drummer throughout the week of September 26.

"I must be living in cave because it was just brought to my attention that Danny will be the guest drummer on the 'Late Night with Seth Meyers Show' starting on the week of Monday, Sept 26. Now that I mention it, this place could use some new wall paper," the brief post stated.

The band still has not issued any tangible updates on the mysteriously elusive new album. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your speculations, predictions, and conspiracy theories regarding when you think the album might be released!

Opeth have premiered "The Wilde Flowers," the third and most progressive single yet from forthcoming album 'Sorceress.' The 12th studio album from the Swedish metallers is due September 30 via the band's imprint label Moderbolaget Records with Nuclear Blast

Layered with a mix of morbid, cosmic, and even renaissance-centric imagery, the accompanying lyric video provides an enticing visual element for the melodic, yet heavy, tune. The song and video can be streamed below.

In his track by track breakdown of 'Sorceress' for Metal Hammer, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt said "The Wilde Flowers" was the first song that he penned for the album. "It's kind of an Opeth standard, in a way, like from the last two albums. It's very dynamic. It has a chorus, I guess. Then there's a big Queen-sounding bit in the middle just before this massive solo… oh, and harps! They're hidden in the mix but they're there. The title comes from the band Caravan – they were originally called Wilde Flowers. I always liked those weird spellings."

Let us know what you think about what you've heard from 'Sorceress' so far!

The following is a preview of what's in the October/November 2016 issue of Revolver. You can check out the cover below (which was photographed by Jimmy Hubbard) and can pick up the new issue on newsstands October 4 or at the Revolver Online Store.

108 Rock Star Guitars book
The rich saturation of color in Lisa S. Johnson's ground-breaking photographic vision documents not only some of culture's most important rock star guitars, it also recounts how the instrument itself has become the essential symbol of rock. Johnson accompanies her images with text cultivated from her experiences and interviews that personify the musician who plays the instrument. Here, the guitar is made exotic, sensuous, and evocative - it transforms from an instrument into an artwork. Some of the guitars included are those of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Rick Nielsen, Zakk Wylde, Chrissie Hynde, Ace Frehley, Keith Richards, Eric Johnson and many others. Foreword by the late, legendary Les Paul.

Carvin V3M 3 Channel All Tube Micro Head
The V3M amp was a huge hit at the 2011 NAMM Show, with players raving about the amazing sound and versatility. It was awarded Best of Show.  The small size and selectable power output makes the V3M ideal for dorms, apartments, as well as live performances and recording when mic'd or connected directly to the board. The 50-watt V3M amp is the musician's dream, delivering awesome power with incredible tone including lush reverb. Nearly half the size of the V3 100w head, the V3M offers nearly the same features. Its powerful 50w output easily drives a 4 X 12 half stack, while the 7 or 22-watt setting delivers sweet saturation at low levels. The all-tube channels can be engaged with your footswitch for normal shimmering highs and deep bass. Switch the channel to classic rock with the deepest metal crunch or continuous sustain. Never before has there been so much tone and power from a micro series.

Lollar  – Raw Power Pickups
The Stooges Raw Power album released in 1973 with guitarist James Williamson eventually gained a cult following. Like its predecessor, 1970's Fun House, it's generally considered an influential forerunner of punk rock. James left the Les Paul Custom used on Raw Power at the Lollar shop for a number of weeks during which they took the '60s T-Top pickups apart and recorded detailed measurements. With James' permission, Lollar are offering duplications of this original pickup set. According to James, "My 1969 Les Paul Custom was used to record Raw Power with Iggy and the Stooges and pretty much every other record I've ever made. I sent this guitar to Jason Lollar and he matched the characteristics of these pickups so that I could get the same sound in all of my touring guitars (I never take this one on the road). Jason did an incredible job of replicating these pickups and I have told him he could sell them with my blessing to anyone who wants to get my kind of sound."

Walrus Audio – 385 Overdrive  
Dynamic, responsive, tube-like, and amp-like. Walrus Audio is extremely excited to announce the new 385 Overdrive that is boastfully responsible for all those adjectives. For decades now, guitarists in search of pure tone have been taking the tube-powered audio sections of vintage film projectors and using it as a guitar amp. Head's up – it sounds amazing. After endless hours of research on vintage Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound projector, Walrus has created a fantastic new overdrive modeled after the projector's tone. The Bell and Howell 385 gracefully lends itself to create an amazing guitar amp. Its simple, but effective controls, plus dual 6V6 output section make for a simple and extremely responsive amp that has an amazing compressed overdrive when cranked.
 
This was the sound and feel Walrus needed to shoot for in an amp-like pedal. The 385 was developed to have the same simple but effective tone control as its grandfather. The amp has this as well, but bass and treble are stacked behind the single tone knob. With our design breaking them up, we allow for a much wider array of tones to be achieved. The user is able to boost and cut bass and treble, allowing them to be creative with mid-frequency scoops and bumps. The pedal is internally running at 18v, which helps us nail the same dynamic feel of the amp in a stomp box. This means it is extremely sensitive to how hard you dig in – just like the amp.

Heavy metal and horror movies go together like studs and leather, which makes it no surprise that Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has an affinity for classic horror and sci-fi films. The horror aficionado has spent years cultivating a collection of thriller-related memorabilia, including a wealth of posters which will be featured on display at the Peabody Essex Museum located in historic Salem, MA – the town known for its famous 1692 witch trials.

The exhibition will feature close to 100 different Hollywood prints from the shredder's personal collection. In addition to the artwork, other collectibles, such as sculptures and guitars, will also be featured on the display. Clips from the posters' corresponding movies will also be included to tell a cohesive story about each of the bodies of work.

When asked what he believes the relationship between metal and horror to be, the guitarist said "Ah man, they're just made out of the same ingredients. It's just the darker side of life. Heavy metal, you know, doesn't work if you're singing about flying elephants. You have to have a subject matter to fit the mood. I've said this before: A good horror movie is like a good song and a good song is like a good horror movie. That's the way I look at it."

The exhibition is being held at the Peabody Essex Museum located in Salem, Massachusetts and runs through November 26 – just in time for Halloween. For more information, visit PEM.org.

Do you plan on checking out the exhibit? What movies do you hope to see featured?

Back in April, Vikings Amon Amarth asked fans to submit videos of themselves "raising their horns" for a chance to be featured in the music video for "Raise Your Horns." The band has debuted the official video which features a montage of live Amon Amarth clips as well as cameos from fans around the world, including some surprising stars!

As it turns out, some of Amon Amarth's fans happen to be huge names in metal including Zakk Wylde, King Diamond, Dave Mustaine, various members of Black Label Society, Slayer, Disturbed, Machine Head and Behemoth, 'Orange is the New Black' actress Jessica Pimentel and even several athletes such as Olympic swimmer Paul Biedermann, NHL goalie Mike McKenna and MMA fighter Shayna Baszler.

"Raise Your Horns" appears on 'Jomsviking,' the latest album from the band which is available now via Metal Blade Records.
