I like Disturbed’s version a lot, but the addition of Myles Kennedy rockets this to an entirely different level. His voice is absolutely inhuman and combining it with David Draiman’s? It just gives me chills.

Mark Tremonti Reveals New Project + New Single
Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge/Tremonti) has finally shared what his new project is: an entire album of Frank Sinatra covers. He will be backed by surviving members of Frank’s orchestra, and included will be all the well-known songs and a few deep cuts from Ol’ Blue Eyes’ career.
The record, entitled simply Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra, is set to be released May 27th and is available for preorder at tremontisingssinatra.com. Mark has given the album to the National Down Syndrome Society, meaning that 100% of the proceeds go to the organization to help those with developmental disabilities. If you’re interested, you can read the full story about why Frank Sinatra and why NDSS here.
Check out the first single, Mark’s rendition of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”

My Three Current Obsessions
Hello! It’s been a while… Life just sort of took over. I’m sure y’all know how that is. Anyway, I have a little free time today and I wanted to share the three songs that are topping all my playlists right now.

2. Skynd: “Michelle Carter”
3. Young Classic: “King of the Damned”
New Music + Forgive My Absence
I’m actually going to start with the second half of my title. I haven’t posted in almost four months. Things have been really hectic since the start of Covid-19, as all of you know. In my case, I got a new job right as everything was shutting down. Lucky, right? I’ve been working a lot and the hours have been fairly steady, but the shifts aren’t very consistent. I’m tired more often than not, and I don’t do much on my days off. I guess this site just fell to the wayside. I would love to say that I’m back; however, I can’t promise that at the moment.
Now, for the important part of this post: NEW MUSIC!
Today, I woke up to a couple of songs from artists I adore (and have mentioned here frequently) — Third Realm and Aesthetic Perfection. The first is a collaboration between Vizion X and Third Realm, entitled “Joker,” while the second is Aesthetic Perfection’s ode to spooky season: a cover of “Pet Sematary,” originally by the Ramones. I will post the videos below.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to tell y’all about the new EP from my favorite Canadian duo, Strvngers. They have used their time in lockdown to record and the result is an EP that will drop December 15th. For a taste of what’s coming, keep an eye out for the first single/video, “Vita Brevis,” which will be released October 9th. And of course I will share it on my blog!
I hope this entry finds all of you well! Happy first day of Halloween! 🖤🧡
