Black Label Society’s forthcoming new album Catacombs Of The Black Vatican is scheduled to be released in April.
Def Leppard have confirmed that they will release an extended version of their groundbreaking 1996 album Slang next month.
The deluxe edition, released via their own Bludgeon Riffola label, includes a second disc of previously unreleased tracks, demos and alternative versions.
Slang was their first record with guitarist Vivian Campbell following the death of Steve Clark in 1991. The album saw Def Leppard reacting to the grunge era by moving away from the ultra-polished sound masterminded by Mutt Lange – and although it didn’t sell as well as had their previous records it has come to be regarded as their most underrated work.
The new version comes in CD and digital formats, both including the album’s 11 original tracks plus the additional material. An iTunes edition contains more bonus tracks, while a double-vinyl version also contains exclusive songs.
The Slang Deluxe Edition goes on sale on February 10th.

Just got back home after a nutty 24 hours in NYC. Had a massive snow storm here that started by me in NJ around Noon yesterday. But because we are doing TMS weekly we had to do a new episode last night for air this Saturday. So everybody battled the elements and made it in for what was a fun show but not without it’s challenges. For me a nearly 4 hour ride in what usually takes around an hour. Thankfully all our guests are NY area based, and they all also put in the effort to make the show happen as well as our great crew and audience. Huge thanks to Morgan Rose of Sevendust (who was also in NJ yesterday) as well as Corey Glover and Vernon Reid of Living Colour (who came from Staten Island and upstate NY) and guitarist Joel Hoekstra (lives in NYC). Turned out to be a fun show despite all the drama of the weather. We had a little less audience than normal due to roads being closed and travel being so difficult, but the people that did make it were really troopers and grateful for your incredible support for TMS! Hope you had fun and got home safely. I ended up staying in NYC and just getting home now and digging out my driveway. See this episode premieres this Saturday night at 11P ET on VH1 Classic and also features an appearance via Metal Modem from Joey DeMaio from Manowar (who will also be on my radio show to premiere new music this Friday night).
Next Tuesday’s taping will feature Frank Bello, David Ellefson, Bumblefoot (on guitar) and Halestorm.
I’m going to go thaw now. More soon.
Pantera reached a major milestone in 1994 when the legendary metal band’s seventh studio album, Far Beyond Driven, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, becoming the fastest-selling album of the group’s career and its second consecutive platinum release. Not only a commercial success, the album also earned positive reviews around the world for the beautiful brutality of its all-out sonic assault.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of that landmark album and Rhino is celebrating with a special two-disc version that includes a newly remastered version of the album, along with a live performance from the 1994 Monsters of Rock Festival. Far Beyond Driven: 20th Anniversary Edition will be available on March 25th for a suggested list price of $19.98. A digital version will also be available.
Following the breakthrough success of 1992’s Vulgar Display of Power – which has since been certified double platinum – singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist Dimebag Darrell, bassist Rex Brown and drummer Vinnie Paul returned in March 1994 with Far Beyond Driven. Following its #1 debut, Far Beyond Driven remained on the Billboard album chart for seven more months and many still regard it as the heaviest album to ever top the chart.
Its 12 songs represented a continuation of the previous album’s relentless musical onslaught with hard-hitting tracks like the first single I’m Broken as well as the mosh-pit classics 5 Minutes Alone and Slaughtered. Another standout track was the group’s swirling acoustic cover of Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan, which became a live favorite when Pantera hit the road to support the album later that year.
Fans already familiar with Far Beyond Driven are in for a treat with the second disc of the 20th Anniversary Edition. Dubbed Far Beyond Bootleg-Live From Donington ’94, the disc contains Pantera full live set recorded at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Donington, England on June 4th, 1994. The 40-minute show comprises nine tracks taken from the band’s three most recent albums including: Use My Third Arm and Strength Beyond Strength from Far Beyond Driven, Walk, Mouth For War, and This Love off of Vulgar Display of Power, plus the title track from Cowboys from Hell as well as the live staple melding Domination and Hollow.
