Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has released a music video for the title track of his latest solo album, “For The Love Of Metal“.
Says Dee: “‘For The Love Of Metal’ — the song and the new video — is a love letter from me to the music and fans that have lifted me up and been my life for the last 45 years. To still be able to perform for audiences like the 40,000 plus at Forcefest in Mexico (shown in the video) is truly an honor and a privilege. I thank you all! Heavy metal forever!”

The official music video for “Untethered Angel”, a brand new song from progressive music titans Dream Theater, can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming 14th studio album, “Distance Over Time”, which will be released on February 22, 2019. The disc showcases a newfound creativity for Dream Theater while maintaining the elements that have garnered them devoted fans around the globe. The album also marks the first for the band’s new label InsideOut Music. The artwork was created by long-time cover collaborator Hugh Syme (Rush, Iron Maiden, Stone Sour). “Distance Over Time” was produced by guitarist John Petrucci, mixed by Ben Grosse and mastered by Tom Baker.
“During the writing and recording process of ‘Distance Over Time’, ‘Untethered Angel’ was known as ‘Song 4’ to all of us as it was the fourth song written during the sessions,” explains Petrucci. “However, there has always been something about this track that just begged for it to be the album opener, even long before all of the songs were written.
“Fear is something that rears its ugly head at some point or another in all of our lives. Fear of the unknown, fear of taking chances, fear of making mistakes. If we are not careful, it can be debilitating and sadly prevent us from realizing our true potential. The world we live in can be a scary place and the thought of an uncertain future a terrifying notion, especially for today’s young people. Untethering from that fear and giving yourself up to the future’s countless possibilities is what will ultimately set you free.”

“Reason To Believe“, the new music video from extreme metallers Arch Enemy, can be seen below. The clip was once again directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Lacuna Coil, Amaranthe and Kamelot, among others.
Guitarist and founding member Michael Amott comments on the motivation behind writing “Reason To Believe”: “Growing up, I guess I was what would be considered the ‘different kid,’ the odd one out at school etc. I fled into my own shell and the music that I loved. Not having a lot friends and not being popular made me who I am today. My passion for music is really where I found my identity and also the strength to pull through those not always so easy times as a young teenager. Luckily, I was always obsessed with music, I had a lot of ideas for starting a band even before I hit puberty! When I finally saved up enough money to buy my first guitar at the age of thirteen, I started creating my own songs immediately and started my first band soon thereafter. I haven’t stopped since. Music has been with me every step of the way through life and is still, to this day, my best friend and greatest passion. I’m sure a lot of people out there feel the same way. ‘Reason To Believe’ is a song that was born out of reminiscing about my own youth and also the stories from our fans around the world. This one’s for you… Always keep on fighting, my friends!”
