Busta Rhymes ft. Linkin Park - We Made It

I don't see a point in this collaboration.. they should have just put both the vocalists name instead of Linkin Park.. i don't think i saw the drummer there... and the guitarist is missing too.. the only part of the song that i can hear the guitar properly is at the ending.. which sounds like the intro for one of Linkin Park's song.. i forgot which one...

this song - sucks ....

All Ends - Still Believe

great band with 2 female vocals.. not growling .. no screaming.. just nice strong female vocals.. with the backing of rock solid hardrockish guitars and drums...songwriting was done mainly by Björn Gelotte of In Flames fame... it should be good... not so sure if their album is out already or not.. if it's not out yet... its coming soon...

here's something from wikipedia about them..

"alternative metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, founded in 2003. It started as a side project of the In Flames guitarists Björn Gelotte and Jesper Strömblad, but currently they are no longer playing with All Ends.

With the initial line-up of Jesper Strömblad and Björn Gelotte handling guitars, Emma Gelotte and Tinna Karlsdotter doing vocals, and Joseph Skansås playing drums, they recorded a 5-song demo. The demo was recorded at Studio Fredman and produced by Fredrik Nordström and Patrick J. Sten.

In the spring of 2005, Michael Håkansson took over bass duties and Fredrik Johansson took over guitar duties. In August of 2005, Peter Mårdklint joined the band as the second guitarist.

The most notable feature of All Ends is the duet vocals provided by the two female singers in the band, Emma Gelotte and Tinna Karlsdotter, against a background of heavy melodies.

All Ends signed a worldwide contract with Gun Records, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment. On May 11, 2007, they released their debut EP, Wasting Life.

This is their second 'single' Pretty Words

great to be back in the studio, and we feel really psyched to lay these
new songs down. They are some of the best stuff we have come up with,
and [we] can't wait for all of our fans to hear the new stuff." ... The
JonBenét have been touring the U.S., road-testing some new
material, which they plan to record later this year. The band will be
rolling through Anthony, Texas, Friday night (May 16), and dates are
booked through June 14 in Austin, Texas. ...

It Dies Today have set Lividity as the title of
their next album, which they'll be self-producing for a fall release.

album, Continent. The disc is being produced by Zeuss, who has worked with the likes of Hatebreed and Shadows Fall.

Slipknot "our new album will rip your face off'

Slipknot are currently on a two week "studio lock-down" putting the
finishing touches to their as-yet-untitled fourth album which is set
for release in September.

According to frontman Corey Taylor, the follow-up to 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is "going to rip your face off."

"I don't think the world will be ready for this album," Taylor told
US mag Billboard. "It's a cross between Vol. 3 and [2001's] Iowa. It
has so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for
melody. It's a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate."

When asked about the album's lyrical content, Taylor said:

"Instead of bitching about what went wrong in my life, I'm bitching about what's wrong in life, PERIOD."

Taylor also says the album will have more melodic vocals:

"I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn't
sing every time I made a Slipknot album," he said. "So this time I'm
going all out."

But melodic vocals doesn't mean that this record will be any less
menacing. Taylor refused to go into specifics, but he did say that the
record is "very dark and will fit in everything image-wise that we're
making with this album."
