Having previously fronted the now-defunct black-metal band Eyes of Noctum, Wes Cage—the son of actor Nicolas Cage—is embarking as a solo artist and spearheading a style of music that he's dubbed "Ghost Metal." Today, he's teamed with Revolver to premiere his first solo single, "Tell Me Why (Matriarch of Misery)." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.
"I've always had an intense passion for music, so much so that I started my first band while still in middle school," Cage says. "As soon as Eyes Of Noctum disbanded, though, I was left alone with a vast array of melodies, rhythms, and concepts. In this time of great seclusion, my inner dialogue and muse grew louder and more impatient, this continued until a solo project was my only resort. My heart wanted this and I am proudly here to present music that is truer to my essence, direct from my core. 'Ghost Metal' has been my life's work. I have been creating this genre for years and the majority of this album's track list properly delivers the sound of a traditional 'Ghost Metal' track while others remain diverse so that we can all ease into this new genre in the family tree of metal. 'Tell Me Why' is open to interpretation, but to me, it's simply about betrayal, abuse, and being used by someone that likes to drain people's life forces. What makes my writing style unique, is that I have to insure that at least one part of the song gives me the chills. If I am haunted by my own riff, then I've reached my standard for 'Ghost Metal.' My music, like myself, is honest and gritty. With all that said, the first single off my debut solo album, 'Prehistoric Technology,' 'Tell Me Why (Matriarch of Misery),' will arrive in digital stores worldwide on September 22, 2014, with the album following suit with a pre-release in January 2015."

Grinder Blues, featuring King's X's dUg Pinnick, will release their self-titled album on October 14 via Megaforce Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song and music video for "Burn the Bridge." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Bassist-vocalist dUg Pinnick said, "I love the video! It happened so fast, it was fun, no stress."
Drummer Scot Bihlman said, "The making this video was a blast. We wrote this blues/rock song to be straight to the point. There is definitely no fat structurally to cut away on this tune. Heavy riff, and heavy topic. We filmed it in Los Angeles at a cool warehouse that set the tone for the song. For the look of the video I added a 32 inch kick drum that is big, proud, and fits the production of the record. The sound is massive! We all agreed that we wanted to push a lot of air, on this record, and kept it very raw."
Guitarist Jabo Bihlman said, "The sunglasses look, which dUg loved, was a happy coincidence. He decided to wear these crazy new shades he bought, because he rarely does that and wanted a different look for Grinder Blues. I had the same idea—so I brought these obnoxious shades I'd bought the week before in Florida. It might become the look of the band…"
