...this gives a new meaning to the term, "Heavy Metal Babies". Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star, the company which creates "beautiful lullaby versions of your favorite artists," has just released "Lullaby Versions Of Iron Maiden" via iTunes. The 12-track set features reworkings of metal classics such as "Run To The Hills", "The Trooper" and "Fear Of The Dark". In its mission statement, Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star says, "We feel our lullaby line fills a vacant musical niche. There are other lines of pop music lullabies but we decided to take the approach of being high end musically rather than simply doing these as a novelty. After all, just because the music is for a baby it doesn’t have to sound unsophisticated. We feel we owe it to the artists that we are covering to do their music justice and our standard of quality transcends the lullaby genre. In fact, in addition to soothing babies our fans use our music for yoga, massage and sleep therapy or just general relaxation. We like to call them 'lullabies for all ages' and the diversity of use is testament to that." "Lullaby Versions Of Iron Maiden" track listing: 01. Run To The Hills 02. The Number Of The Beast 03. The Trooper 04. Hallowed Be Thy Name 05. Aces High 06. Fear Of The Dark 07. Wasted Years 08. Can I Play With Madness 09. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son 10.

...YOUTUBE TIME. VAN CANTO has posted a video clip for the song "The Seller of Souls." The track is taken off the "Break the Silence" album through Napalm Records. VAN CANTO is an a cappella metal band from Germany, founded in 2006 and composed of five singers and a drummer. Although the group is often classified as an a cappella ensemble, they use real drums in their music, instead of vocal percussion or beatboxing. VAN CANTO fuses a cappella with heavy/power metal, creating what they call "hero metal a capella". While only two of the five singers perform the lead vocals, the other three will instead use their voices to imitate the guitars and the bass, with the help of amplifiers, in an attempt to sound closer to the original instruments. Now that you know what you're in for, click the link. http://www.undergroundvideotelevision.com/2011/music-videos/van-canto-the-seller-of-souls/

...ROB ZOMBIE gets all soft and cuddly!?!? The ZOMBIE has directed a WOOLITE Commercial. Although Rob Zombie is most known for his horror film making, he even directed a CSI: Miami episode, maybe you didn't know that, but some critics think that he has "sold out," "I hadn't even thought about [a fan backlash], it hadn't crossed my mind. "Whenever anyone talks about selling out it's the most absurd statement anyone could make. I've never done anything I didn't want to do, to me selling out is changing your music, your image, everything based on some sort of corporate manipulation to become rich and famous. I've never done that. "When someone says I've sold out I say, 'What do you do for a living?' and maybe they'll say, 'Oh, I work at Walmart.' So they're corporate whores for the largest corporation in the world but have the nerve to [call me a] 'sell-out?"' The guy is talented in front of the camera and behind it, the phrase "sell out" comes from the lips of haters but "SOLD OUT" will be seen on the marque of his show...

Skynyrd will also play there several times each year. Frontman Johnny Van Zant told Billboard: “It’s been in the works for about a year now, and they just broke ground about a month ago. It’s kind of between the Luxor and Excalibur, so it’s right here on the strip in a pretty good spot. We hope that when bands come through they’ll go and visit and it’ll be a place to hang out. It should be a cool thing.” Find out more at http://www.lynyrdskynyrd.com/

His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band."...

...SYMFONIA — the new melodic metal project featuring Timo Tolkki (STRATOVARIUS, REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE) on guitar, André Matos (ANGRA, SHAAMAN, VIPER) on vocals, Jari Kainulainen (STRATOVARIUS, EVERGREY) on bass, Mikko Härkin (SONATA ARCTICA, KOTIPELTO) on keyboards, and Uli Kusch (MASTERPLAN, HELLOWEEN) on drums — has issued the following update: "We would like to thank all of you who have supported us and our 'In Paradisum' in the last months. We have received a very good response both in sales and in reviews for the album. "We are sorry for the lack of news but we have had a good reason for the silence. We have been waiting for our friend Uli to get better with his hand [after suffering from nerve damage]. We knew we took a risk in waiting, but we considered it best for the band. This is why there has not been any shows so far apart from Helsinki Metal Meeting in February. "A few weeks ago, we received more news from Uli's doctors and they were very bad. They said that it is not likely that he could play drums this year at all. After talking with Uli and in mutual understanding, we agreed to continue SYMFONIA without him. It is a painful decision for all of us, but after Uli told us it is best for us to go on without him and not to wait anymore due to uncertain future with his hand, we decided to do this. And the truth is, we simply cannot wait any longer."...
