Dream Theater, Anthrax , Dragonforce and other members photographed in 3D - Gallery Available!

Italian photographer Paolo Bianco has uploaded a gallery of musicians (including members of Dream Theater, Anthrax, Katatonia, Dragonforce and Backyeard Babies) photographed with cutting-edge 3D technology, to give the viewer the feeling that the devil's horns or the middle fingers are right "in your face" and popping out of the PC screen.

In order to correctly the see photos, a pair of 3D blue/red glasses is required.

Commented Bianco: "I've been working on this project for quite some time, and every interview I did in person, would end with the question 'Can I please take a photo of you to turn into a 3D object?' — which was met by the musicians with quizzed looks on their faces, but quite some interest too. Finally, I have a small gallery to share with the world. I hope you like them!"

Here some of the pictures and a video on how on make 3D glasses:

Machine Head records cover of Pantera’s “Fucking Ostile”!

Machine Head records cover of Pantera’s “Fucking Ostile”!

Guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn of San Francisco Bay Area metallers Machine Head has issued the following update:

"After two-and-a-half years of touring, we're (finally) two months into a three-month break, and let me tell you, it's been awesome!!! I've been out camping/wakeboarding a ton, Adam [Duce, bass] is taking flying lessons and just did his first brief solo flight, Dave's [McClain, drums] hanging in Alameda enjoying his new Yamaha drum kit (amazing!) and was hanging in L.A. with the Korn dudes and his longtime buddy Ross Robinson [producer and McClain's former Catalepsy bandmate, and Phil [Demmel, guitar] was most recently 'best man' at his best friend Shack's wedding. We've also found time to hop into Trident Studios with Juan Urteaga and record a Pantera tune for a b-side. We're doing 'Fucking Hostile'!!! Dave is done with drums (nailed it on the second take!), and I finished guitars yesterday and got vocals in the bag. Phil comes in tomorrow, then Adam, then it'll be mixed and mastered by the end of the week. Mike Sloat has been documenting, so we'll probably have video snippets up when the whole thing gets closer to release. We also just announced our sole U.S. headline date on November 6 in NY, so FUCKIN' A!!! Come make a road trip to N.Y. for some raging metal!!!"

Machine Head will team up with Megadeth, Slayer and Suicide Silence for the "Canadian Carnage East" tour beginning on November 8 in Moncton…yeah Montreal is November 11th (you shouldn’t miss that!!!). A U.S. tour with Megadeth and Suicide Silence will follow starting November 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

New interview with Corey Beaulieu!

New interview with Corey Beaulieu!

Musicianstop Magazine's Sahra Joelle conducted an interview with guitarist Corey Beaulieu of Florida metallers Trivium when the band played the Majestic Theatre in Ventura, California on October 2, 2009. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

In a recent interview with The Daily Rock, Trivium guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy stated about the songwriting process for the band's next album, "Yeah, we have some stuff — not as a whole band, but each individual guy has maybe ten to twenty songs. I have done about fifteen, but I have gotten rid of all but six because I kept the good ones as I kept going on, the newer songs I was writing were stronger and better so I got rid of the ones that weren't as good. Paolo [Gregoletto, bass] has a bunch of songs, like twenty or so, but he keeps cutting back as well. Everyone keeps writing as many as they can, but then cutting back the weak ones and not worrying about trying to make them better songs. . . We have all loose ideas right now. Musically, it is getting closer to finishing a more realized idea but lyrically and generally, with the entire record not being written and purely in the developmental stages, we are thinking of it as something that we want to be recognized by any kind of fan, whether you like metal or not, whether you speak English or not, 'cause we are definitely a band that travels internationally around. I have done a style of words that is almost hard to interpret even if you speak English, so I'm not saying we are dumbing ourselves down, but I want it to be universally translatable no matter where we are. I don't know how to make that happen, but we definitely want it to sound like Trivium but with the best possible songs. We always try to keep true to what our heart is as a band but we want to diversify, and not diversify for the sake of ourselves, but to find where we are going as a band. Nowadays, we know more of what is right for our sound. If we look across all four records, we know what kind of parts should be there for the next thing and what shouldn't be there."

Trivium has announced that they are one of the first major acts to team up with entrepreneurial Australian company Posse in the U.K. Posse is a peer-to-peer ticketing method that rewards fans for actively promoting concerts. The partnership enables fans to recommend and sell tickets for Trivium gigs in the U.K. via their personal blogs, websites, or social networking profiles. Trivium is thrilled to chart new territory by aligning with Posse for the majority of their March 2010 U.K. tour giving fans the opportunity to help make a difference as well as getting something back.

Now the video interview…
