Deftones’ Chi Cheng dead at 42:

Chi Cheng 1970~2013

Deftones bassist Chi Cheng has died at the age of 42, his family has confirmed.
He’d been in a semi-comatose state since a traffic accident in 2008, but had shown signs of improvement in recent months.
Cheng’s mum Jeanne – who was instrumental in setting up oneloveforchi.com – says: “He was taken to the emergency room at 3am today. His heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear.
“He fought the good fight. You stood by him sending love daily. He knew that he was very loved and never alone.
“Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you.
“It is so hard to let go.”

Megadeth: ‘Super Collider’ Artwork Unveiled

Megadeth: ‘Super Collider’ Artwork Unveiled:

Stand by for ‘Super Collider’

Megadeth’s new opus finally has a cover!

Super Collider will be released this June via Dave Mustaine‘s new label, Tradecraft.
“It was a real thrill for us to learn there was an opportunity to join Universal,” said Mustaine during a break in the sessions. “It seems like every time you see a great band or music video, it comes from a Universal label. Being with Universal is by far the most exciting and prestigious home for Megadeth ever! We are electrified with what the future holds and the possibilities such a powerhouse like Universal will bring for us all. We have worked with some great people over the years, and it is amazing to see so many of them on the Universal team for our new record, Super Collider. If Megadeth being here isn’t satiating enough, having Tradecraft as my own label is going to be really amazing for metal bands around the world.”
Dave‘s crew will play the following venues:
Jun 3 Newcastle Academy

Jun 4 Glasgow Cademy

Jun 5 Manchester Academy

Jun 6 London Brixton Academy

Free Stone Sour Track

Grab Your Free Stone Sour Track:

Looking for a free Stone Sour track? You’ve come to the right place. Here’s Gravesend from House Of Gold & Bones Part 2.
Corey Taylor says of the song: “The protagonist is being assaulted by a lot of different memories and different things. He finds himself in a cemetery, Gravesend. He’s given the answers slowly but surely – and he’s not so happy with the answers he gets.
“In one way it’s retroactive as far as seeing things for the first time. On the other hand he’s having to fight the reaction he’s having. In a lot of ways it’s the culmination of the journey, and it leads to the final act.”
House Of Gold & Bones Part 2 is out on Monday April 8 – and if you preorder you’ll receive an instant download of Do Me A Favor.
Stone Sour will play at this year’s Download Festival on June 16 as part of a European tour.
