Ryan Adams Covers a Danzig Classic, Dark Funeral Starts New Chapter + More

Posted on May 16th 2012 5:30PM by Amy Sciarretto Comments

Ryan Adams

Mother!!!! Audio of alt country crooner Ryan Adams delivering a killer rendition of Danzig's "Mother" is circulating. Adams has apparently been offering up his version during encores at European shows and the Paris edition is available for your listening enjoyment. Before you scoff about a non-metal artist covering the 'Zig, take a listen. It's fucking awesome and Adams puts his stamp on the song. It proves what a good songwriter that New Jersey boy born Glenn Anzalone really is, since the song lends itself to such malleability. [YouTube]

Those lords o' chaos in Dark Funeral have signed to Century Media for a three album deal. Guitarist and founding member Lord Ahriman expressed his happiness about the deal, so yes, a grim and kvlt black metal band can express something other than anger or a scowl. He stated, "Our bad luck with labels in the past has for sure been very frustrating. So it is with great pleasure to finally be able to turn the page, move on and start a new dark chapter in the Dark Funeral saga, as we join the great Century Media family. Century Media has more than enough proven to be a stable and highly professional label. And we are totally looking forward to this new cooperation, which I'm sure will prove to be very satisfying and successful for both parts. Hail the goat!" The band will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2013 with the new album In the Sign of the Horns. [Via Century Media Press Release]

Huntress Siren Says the Suffering Was 'Worth It' for 'Spell Eater' Video

Posted on May 16th 2012 4:15PM by Carlos Ramirez Comments

Noisecreep has been singing the praises of Huntress for the better part of two years now. The Southern Californian metal group just released Spell Eater, their long-awaited debut album. Huntress has also unleashed a fantastic video for the album's title track.

"Our video for "Spell Eater" was directed by Simon Chan of Artificial Army, the same wizard who created our video for "Eight of Swords" last year," Huntress vocalist Jill Janus tells Noisecreep. "We were on location in the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree for two days shooting "Spell Eater." The scenery is stunning, but the environment is brutal. Those two days were bitterly cold and windy, it snowed and rained, I broke down into tears at nightfall. Huntress wanted this video to be a bit more raw, with less effects than "Eight of Swords." We think it's tight, and the suffering was worth it. Enjoy my pain!"

Check out the "Spell Eater" video below.

10-Year-Old Rocks Out to Alice Cooper's 'School's Out' (VIDEO)

Posted on May 16th 2012 11:45AM by Amy Sciarretto Comments

YouTube.com

School might not be out until next month, but that won't stop 10-year-old Sara from Motion Device from fully preparing for summer by getting into character and full Alice Cooper stage regalia while covering the shock rocker's signature song.

In the video below, little Sara looks adorable with her leather jacket and her Cooper makeup. She barely cracks a smile, which Noisecreep also loves. She is in character from start to finish.

We also love the band's banner, which is hanging behind the aviator shades-wearing drummer. It's the mark of a true garage/basement band. While Sara is the face of the band, according to the comments below the YouTube video, Motion Device are indeed a band and all the members have equal footing.

There's also another chick in the band playing bass. Totally righteous!

Listenable though they may be, Jack Black says, the recent offerings from Jack White, Tom Waits, the Foo Fighters and Gotye all share one thing in common: They're not as good as the new Tenacious D album, Rize of the Fenix.

"I do love [Jack White's] "Blunderbuss," I love the Foo, I love Tom Waits, his new record is incredible ... and Goyte ... but our album is better than all of those, and because we're clowns, we don't get that kind of love," Black said in an interview with Reuters, talking up his comedy-rock duo's third full-length.

"In a hundred years' time, no one will remember Gotye or the rest, but the shining beacon of The D -- they're going to start religions after us," he added.
