MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine took to band’s social media to simply post message “I’m back” accompanied with a new photo of him.MEGADETH has recently started rehearsing for their upcoming European tour as the support act for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH.It will mark MEGADETH‘s first shows since Mustaine received treatment for throat cancer, with which he was diagnosed back in May, 2019.In November, Mustaine spoke about his battle with throat cancer in an interview with Rolling Stone.“I’m on the other side of the majority of the treatment, and I feel really strong,” Dave said. “After the radiation, the guy said all of my test results looked amazing. ‘You look like you’re in a stage 1 and you’re supposed to be in stage 3 right now.’ And then the oncologist said the same thing: ‘You look really strong.’ So we kept moving through the process.”Mustaine also revealed that the band will release at least two songs prior to embarking on a European tour with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH this month.“All we need to do is get in the studio and capture them,” he noted. “We’ve got scratch drum tracks. We just have to get Dirk [Verbeuren, drums] to play through the songs once or twice and then it’s up to me and David [Ellefson, bass] and Kiko [Loureiro, lead guitar] to finish.” I'm back. pic.twitter.com/UBCGTZTGtd — Megadeth (@Megadeth) January 17, 2020 Via MetalAddicts Less

Hedra have released a charity single for WWF to raise money for the wildlife preservation in Australia.Hurricane is a song about natural disaster and the need to change as a matter of urgency.The song steps back in time and represents a moment of 80’s sound score where we may not have cared for the conservation of the planet .“We can’t change the past & seeing those emotional pictures of animals escaping the fire in Australia I wished a hurricane would come and pick them all up and take them to safety, that’s when the chorus lyrics came in. I didn’t really want to point to the Fire as the destroyer of all these lives.I didn’t want to focus on Australia either in the lyrics as there are many other natural disasters happening that are not currently in the media eye too but I do want this single to point to that charity as one of the biggest disasters for a long time for the donation aspect”. Jim“I really just wanted to send a message that we do need to care more about those around us, again going back to those good times of the 80’s where I was young and innocent I remember that people also came together much more than we do now”.

Dutch thrash metallers Hallowed Fire have released a lyric video for the title-track of their upcoming second EP “Pillars of Lies”, set to be released on January 24th 2020. This follow-up from their debut EP “Decade of Darkness” features four brand new tracks and a bonus live track for “Hatchet”, recorded live in Amsterdam.Watch here "Pillars of Lies": [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="38UXhPSPsZc"]   The EP has a modern “in your face” sound without losing the old school thrash bite. This sound was possible thanks to the incredible mix by Mendel bij de Leij (ex-Aborted guitarist).   Every instrument has the opportunity to shine with the guitars delivering fast riffs and melodic solos, while tight drums drive the songs. The bass cuts nicely through the mix and last but not least diversed vocals ranging from low growls to high pitched screams including some cleaner vocals too.    A release show is planned at P3 in Purmerend (The Netherlands) on the EP’s release date (January 24th 2020) together with Distillator and Degenerate.   Links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HallowedFireOfficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hallowedfireofficial/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3O627nuQvaF67Fn2j6pDQBandcamp: https://hallowedfire.bandcamp.com Less
