Mob Rules Unleash Music Video for brand new single “Trial and Trail of Fear”

Seven long years since their latest studio offering, North German power metal collective MOB RULES returns with their eagerly awaited new album, entitled “Rise Of The Ruler”, that is slated for a release on August 22nd via ROAR. The follow-up to 2018's successful album “Beast Reborn” (which reached a sensational #37 in the German and #59 in the Swiss album charts) is not only a work brimming with creativity, wit and quality, but also the conceptual continuation of their two early albums “Savage Land” (1999) and “Temple Of Two Suns” (2000), with which MOB RULES laid the foundation for their career. Both albums are linked by an exciting concept story about life in a dystopian, hostile end-time world in which resources are becoming scarce. This is exactly where the band's new offering “Rise Of The Ruler” comes in and keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt (who is responsible for all the lyrics) continues the thread. After previously-released songs, “Back To Savage Land” and "Future Loom", today, MOB RULES are  premiering an epic video clip for their new single “Trial and Trail of Fear"!  "The song 'Trial and Trail of Fear' is based on lumbering heavy metal riffs and creates an epic atmosphere," comments singer Klaus Dirks. "Lyrically, it deals with a scenario that many can relate to: one knows the feeling of diving headfirst into a new challenge, only to feel completely overwhelmed and fighting with all one's might to keep going."

Original Alice Cooper Group Share New Music Video For “Wild Ones”

On Wednesday, the reunited Alice Cooper Group released a music video for “Wild Ones,” the latest single from their upcoming album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which is set to be released on July 25. The song and video draws inspiration from the rebellious spirit of Marlon Brando’s 1953 film, The Wild One, with the band – featuring surviving original members of Cooper’s classic lineup from his celebrated 70s albums – shown recording the rousing track in the studio together. The 14-song record will also feature a posthumous appearance by original guitarist Glen Buxton, who died in 1997, via the previously unreleased song, “What Happened to You.” While a box set edition will include a rediscovered 1970 version of “Return of the Spiders,” which was remixed by producer Bob Ezrin. This fall, Cooper will hit the road for a 22-date co-headlining tour of North America with Judas Priest. (Rolling Stone)
