Excitement in the Music World!

Yeah......so now that we are over all the excitement caused by the biggies in 2010, it's now time to get a peek at what's to come in 2011 and 2012. Last year turned out to be a dream come true for music enthusiasts a busy one for artists.Almost everyone put out a record- Linkin Park, KoRn, Poets Of The Fall, Avenged Sevenfold, you name them.

The only band conspicious by their absence were Limp Bizkit. They were suspiciously quiet about what they were upto, doing the odd show in Russia and Europe. We should've guessed! Their new album "Gold Cobra" will be out 28.6.2011! What's more, it'll will be with their original line-up since the block-buster 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water' in  2000. This will also be their first album after the hot-cold 'Results May Vary' in 2003 with ex-KoRn guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch & Mike Smith, which did not feature Limp Bizkit's eccentric genius Wes Borland on the guitar.

WES BORLAND!!

Gold Cobra costumes...Love it!

All songs have been mixed, and are ready.The band is now in discussions with their producers about Singles & music videos.There was a 0:19 sec clip of probably their first single 'Douchebag' on the internet, and to tell you the truth, although I was happy with the direction Fred Durst was taking with his vocals, the lyrics seemed to be a let-down. But then, hey, how much can you tell in 19s?

Moving on, we can expect a MOVIE based on 'American Idiot', Green Day's revolutionary and wildly-successful album.It will be produced by the one and only Tom Hanks, and it is yet to be known whether Billie will be acting. According to me, this was a path-breaking album and everyone needs to listen to this one, because of what it tells you through music, and because you will come out a wiser person.
'American Idiot' has already been adapted into a Broadway-musical and was a huge-hit.

If you haven't heard this one yet, you have no idea what you are missing!

Julien-K will be releasing their sophomore album this year, and after 'Death To Analog', I can only expect them to blow my mind away for the second time. They will be starting their Europe tour soon, to promote this album.It will be their first without Brandon Belsky [bassist,keyboards] and with Anthony 'Fu' Valcic[keyboards,programming,samples]. No information on any bassist, if there is going to be one.

Poets Of The Fall have released a compilation album of some of their huge hits and all music videos, titled 'Alchemy Vol.1'. It features two brand new songs- 'Can You Hear Me' and 'No End, No Beginning'. As is the tradition, both of these tracks are absolutely wonderful and definitely worth a listen.
Their next album is in pre-production and will be out in 2012.Waiting for their next masterpiece!

Avenged Sevenfold are trying out drummer Arin Ilejay on tour. Whether or not he'll be made permanent is not known. The only thing we know is that The Rev is irreplaceable, may his soul rest in peace.

Now, this is the one buzz I'm most interested in. There have been various rumors about Orgy getting back together after their critic-bashed but MusicManiac-approved 'Punk Statik Paranoia'.While band members continue to say that 'work is in progress', I, for one, am not too optimistic.
There was even an April Fool joke releasing totally fictional information about Orgy's next 'Psychotic Disillusions' with some totally unbelievable details.Had a good laugh.

That's all for now. I'm leaving you with 'Forever', an amazing song by Julien-K, and especially Ryan Shuck. Hey girls, you think Bieber is so great? Try this track, you'll fall in love all over again with Ryan and his velvety voice.Enjoy!!
