RIDDICK - Official Trailer (video)

After two movies and an animated video, Richard B. Riddick is back. Although this flick looks to have a more Pitch Black vibe, hopefully it will be a hit and they will continue Riddick's journey to The Underverse.

from Universal Pictures:

Prepare for the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered.

The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

SCUBA SKYDIVING (video)

As a PADI certified Scuba diver, I have logged more than 200 dives. But I have never attempted anything like this.  yet. 

"There's only one thing that's better than scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, and that's skydiving from a helicopter, releasing your parachute just above the water, swimming down to the bottom to get your tank and then scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. This is Scuba Skydiving."

JOEY EPPARD - Live (video)

After a long roadtrip to Quebec to see Porcupine Tree several years ago, I discovered a relatively unknown band (to me, anyway) called 3 was opening.  Due to some border troubles, the band's front-man and leader, Joey Eppard, had to perform 45 minutes solo.  I was so blown away by that one performance, I became a life-long fan.  Having interviewed and talked to Joey several times, he is a down-to-earth yet incredibly gifted singer/player/songwriter.  Joey recently released a live Blu-ray/DVD that gives you a chance to see what he does solo for the first time in a complete two-set performance. Although I have seen the band 3 many times since (and loved every time!), I have always hoped to see Joey solo again.

I cannot recommend this live release enough, it is what I have been waiting years for!

My Interview with FREDRIK ÅKESSON (audio)

#fredrikakesson #opeth #rockfile

Having been a long-time fan of Opeth, I jumped at the opportunity to finally interview one of them.  While I was scheduled to chat with Fredrik Åkesson, I got to hang out on the bus with the whole band and Daniel Liljekvist from Katatonia. 10 dates into the new tour and although these bands have toured Europe many times together, everyone seemed charged and ready to bring their music to the American masses.  The night's show in Ft Lauderdale sold out and had their legion of fans enthralled all night.

Get a few details about the guitarist, the band, tours and upcoming plans in my interview with  Fredrik Åkesson:

WISDOM OF CROWDS release "Frozen North" (audio)

I love it when two of my favorite artists work together! When I heard Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) and Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) were doing an album, I felt the same chill I felt when Storm Corrosion (Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth) was announced.  And it looks/sounds like it is going to be amazing! Check this out:

From the Kscope:

The album is available as a limited digi-book edition. This edition will feature special mirrored foil covers which will not feature on the regular jewel case edition.

WISDOM OF CROWDS is the new album from an exciting new project featuring Bruce Soord from The Pineapple Thief with Jonas Renkse from Katatonia.

"One of the most fascinating and intriguing collaborations of recent years. Utterly spellbinding."
~Amit Sharma (Metal Hammer)

Originally written with Renkse’s voice in mind, Soord sought out the acclaimed Katatonia vocalist to complete the compositions and release the music to the masses. Despite the rigorous schedules of The Pineapple Thief and Katatonia, the two musicians were eventually able to connect

Pre-order for June 3rd release.
