JDEVIL JOINS ROB ZOMBIE AND MARILYN MANSON ON “TWINS OF EVIL” TOUR LAUNCHING SEPTEMBER 28 RELEASING DEBUT EP ON DIM MAK

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, New Music, News, Releases with tags Dim Mak, JDEVIL, Jonathan Davis, Korn, Marilyn Manson, music, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com, Twins of Evil Tour on August 1, 2012 by Randy

JDEVIL, the nefarious DJ alter ego of legendary KORN frontman Jonathan Davis, has joined forces with Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie on their co-headlining “Twins of Evil” U.S. tour launching September 28. JDEVIL will perform DJ sets packed with his brand of chaotic electro-metal. This news comes on the heels of JDEVIL’s recent signing with cutting-edge label Dim Mak for the release of his debut EP (details TBA).

“I like to think of JDEVIL as the ‘anti-christ’ of EDM,” says Davis. ”To play alongside Zombie and Manson is going to be a f**king sinister night all around, and an unbelievable theatrical experience. I can’t wait.”

On August 7, prior to the kick off of the “Twins of Evil” tour, Mondo Sex Head, an album featuring new and unique remixes of Rob Zombie classics by some of today’s top producers/DJs, will be released (Universal Music Enterprises/UMe) featuring JDEVIL’s remix of White Zombie’s “Thunder Kiss ‘65” (J-Devil Number of the Beast Remix). It is available now on iTunes: http://bit.ly/MqcA3u.

DJing since Davis was 16 years old (years before he was to ever become one of the most notorious faces in rock),JDEVIL has created a sound that is a natural progression from KORN’s tenth offering, 2011’s The Path of Totality. The album saw the band collaborate with dubstep pioneers Skrillex, 12th Planet, Datsik, Excision, Downlink, Kill the Noise, Noisia and Feed Me. It yielded two hit singles with Skrillex, “Get Up!” and “Narcissistic Cannibal,” along with Kill the Noise on the latter, and was met with critical and fan adoration. In the meantime, he unleashed his first formal remix, a gut wrenchingly catchy take on Hollywood Undead’s “Hear Me Now,” released as part of American Tragedy Redux.

JDEVIL is another side of the enigmatic singer who thrives on chaos and contradictions. He may reside in the darkest corners of Davis’ psyche, but he’s always ready to party. He may be spinning dance music on stage, but he lets out catastrophic screams at all the right moments. He may have black eyes and teeth, but he’s as close to Davis’ heart as it gets. His DJ sets opens up the door to the ultimate celebration inside of the inferno. Are you ready?

Hyro Da Hero’s “Birth, School. Work, Death” OUT NOW

Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News, Releases, Reviews with tags Birth School Work Death, hip-hop, Hyro Da Hero, rap, rock, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com on July 31, 2012 by Randy

HYRO!!! Where the F have you been! Finally. Something refreshing…revitalizing the rap/rock game…and as referenced by Hyro Da Hero himself….its a new GANGSTA ROCK GENRE.

HDH can’t be compared to anyone else, he’s that original. But…if you had to…it’s a blender full of Rage Against the Machine, Gorillaz, Incubus, and a touch of Lil Wayne’s Rebirth. But fresh…whitty…true…and a slap in your face saying, “Get the fuck up! Bounce! Rock the fuck out!” Oh yeah…Hyro is the first and only known artist to play 3 separate stages at the Download Festival in the same year (2011). His first major debut, Birth, School, Work, Death is out now. You’d be a damn fool not to get it (click on the image). Also, you can catch Hyro Da Hero on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour at a City near you.

Key tracks: The World’s Stage, Sleeping Giants, A Conversation with Hip Hop
