Since “Du Hast” was the first song I heard by Rammstein, I think it appropriate this be the album of the week while they are artist of the week.
heavy metal
Weekly Focus: Rammstein, Day One
Of course this song was my introduction to Rammstein…

Let’s Talk Covers (Pt. 6)
1. HIM: “Rebel Yell” (Billy Idol cover)
2. Deathstars: “White Wedding” (Billy Idol cover)
I’m actually not that crazy about this version. I don’t think his voice works.
3. Children of Bodom: “Oops! I Did It Again” (Britney Spears cover)
Avenged Sevenfold to Release New Album…Tomorrow
I’m not going to write some long-winded announcement about this, but it was confirmed today that Avenged Sevenfold’s new album, entitled The Stage, will hit stores tomorrow (October 28th). This is a rather abrupt change, considering I had read that the record wouldn’t be out until early December.
Tonight, Avenged will be streaming live from Hollywood. You can watch it here, or via VRTGO or on Avenged’s official website.

New Music: Avenged Sevenfold’s “The Stage”
Well, this has been a great week! Alter Bridge dropped their latest album, The Last Hero, this past Friday and now, six days later, Avenged Sevenfold’s new single has been released.
As I’m sure many of you know, it has been a hectic three years for Avenged. Following the release of Hail to the King, they did a lot of touring, then there were legal issues with their record label and the band parted ways with drummer Arin Ilejay.
Now, however, they are back! With former Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman taking over for Arin, and the legal troubles seemingly settled, Avenged Sevenfold can give us what they’ve been working on.
I have only listened to “The Stage” once. My initial response is that the track is brilliant musically, but I’m not crazy about Matt’s vocals. I’m sure it will grow on me, though. Stuff from Avenged usually does. Lol.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
