Tri-State Rock - Latest Updates

 

 

Former Korn guitarist Brian 'Head" Welch has recently opened up to discuss his latest musical project, Love and Death, a band which he is fronting.  

David Silveria, former and original drummer of Korn, was arrested for a DUI at 10:45 am on Sunday morning in California. Huntington Beach cops were called to the scene after he accidentally rear-ended someone on his way to breakfast. After allegedly blowing a 0.0 on the Breathalyzer, cops decided to put him in cuffs after learning that he had taken a sleeping pill the night before for his insomnia.  He did not realize how tired he still was. He admits to TMZ, “It was an honest mistake.”

Korn will be invading the Paramount on May 8^th in Huntington, NY and they’ll be bringing some interesting company along for the ride. Jonathan Davis, Korn’s lead vocalist, has been declared commander general as he provides most of the entertainment for the “Path of Totality” Tour. Opening up for Korn will be his disc jockey alter-ego, “J Devil”, and dub-step sensation “Sluggo”.  

Heavy Metal legends Prong will be releasing their 8th studio album, "Carved into Stone", on April 24th through Long Branch Records and produced by Steve Evetts.  This will be their debut album with Long Branch and their first album since their last studio release "Power of the Damager" in 2007.

On March 20th Prong streamed the world premiere of the opening track entitled "Eternal Heat". If this single is any kind of reflection of what to expect on the rest of the album then, metal heads, you're in for a treat.  Loud, hard and fast, thrash metal all the way, it has a certain Anthrax feel to it.  Prong has been a part of the metal scene since 1986 and has been kicking ass ever since, influencing bands like Korn and Nine Inch Nails.  Frontman and native New Yorker, Tommy Victor recruited bassist Tony Campos of Static-X and drummer Alexei Rodriguez of Trial and 3 Inches of Blood three years ago for touring, opening up for Soulfly on two tours and later for Fear Factory and kept them on for this album and follow up tour.  Prong will be hitting the road the next couple months so be sure to check them out - I know I will!
