Multi-platinum-selling headliners ALICE IN CHAINS are touring in support of Black Gives Way To Blue(Virgin/EMI), which was named “Album of the Year” at the recent Revolver Golden Gods Award show. Fueled by the Grammy nominated smash “Check My Brain,” which rocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Songs Chart,Black Gives Way To Blue entered Billboard’s Top 200 at No. 5. Metal Hammer said, “Alice In Chains are back and every bit as exciting and heavy" and a Guitar World magazine reader’s poll voted Black Gives Way To Blue “Rock Album of the Year.”
DEFTONES, one of the most enduring and influential forces in modern rock have released their long-awaited new album Diamond Eyes. The 6th full-length studio effort by the Grammy-winning, platinum-certified group was produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Alice in Chains, Coheed & Cambria, Foo Fighters). The band recorded the album after their best friend and bassist Chi Cheng sustained a debilitating brain injury from a car accident in November of 2008. “After Chi’s accident, it would have been easy for us to make a sad record,” says singer and guitarist Chino Moreno. “But really, this is an optimistic record.”
Globally celebrated, critically revered, hard rock masterminds MASTODON have created one of the most daring and praised albums in recent years with their current and 5th full-length effort Crack the Skye, which entered theBillboard Top 200 Albums chart at #11. Crack the Skye placed on numerous “Year End / Best of 2009” critics lists and readers polls, and Time magazine placed it third on its list of the top ten “Best Albums of 2009,” writing, “Thunderous, disciplined and expansive…the ambition and tenacity of Mastodon’s music makes Crack The Skye sonically unforgettable.”
“BlackDiamondSkye spotlights three distinctly different and influential artists and fuses their individual fan bases into a single entity,” says Benveniste. “This is the poster kids will want to have on their walls, and ten years from now people will look back at this as a timeless and important tour.”
