UPDATED: Check out the production video of the new line. It rips!

The new line from ESP Guitars has arrived! Featuring a military motif, this fresh new army of shirts and accessories celebrates those who have bravely served our country. From the World War II inspired “Dropped Dee Bombshell” long sleeve to the Vietnam themed “Death From Above” tee, ESP has created a perfect blend of homage and style.

Keeping in tradition with the classic designs, ESP has also unleashed their patented “Rocker” styles. Shirts like the “Ritual” and “Grave Rocker” are the perfect accompaniment to your heavy metal ensemble. Shred forth, guitar warrior.

Five percent of all sales from the latest ESP line will be going to the American Freedom Foundation, an organization that raises money to support veterans and active military members as well as their families. The ESP Guitar Company cares about those who have fought and served for our country and this is just a small way of showing our appreciation.*

*These eligible items can be identified by the small American flag badge in the upper corner of the product photo. Thank you for your support in our recognition and gratitude for those who serve our country.

Celebrated progressive rock / cutting-edge metal band Between The Buried And Me has inked a worldwide recording deal with Metal Blade Records. The award-winning North Carolina quintet will kick off the partnership with the April release of its new album “The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues.”

“We are delighted in the opportunity to join the Metal Blade family,” commented BTBAM guitarist Paul Waggoner. “Their commitment to heavy music over the years is inspiring and we look forward to becoming a part of the ever-growing legacy of the label. Our new release, titled “The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues” will hit the streets in April. We are confident that our dedicated fans will appreciate it and hopeful that we will gain the attention of some new ears as well. In closing, I’d like to reference a quote from the illustrious Joe Dirt: “Life’s a garden, dig it.”

Further details on The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues will be made available soon. The LP will contain the first new music from Between The Buried And Me since the release of 2009′s The Great Misdirect, which landed at #36 on the Billboard Top 200 in its first week of release. BTBAM supported the album with a full scale North American headlining tourand live dates across Europe, Australia and Japan as well as a U.S. tour as hand-picked support for like-minded rockers Mastodon.

A small teaser has surfaced featuring a small lap creature belting out snippets of a new jam. Stoked!

Amon Amarth is going out on a U.S. headlining run in April in support of their new album “Surtur Rising.” Dubbed “An Evening With Amon Amarth“, the tour will find the band touring without support acts, instead opting to perform two separate sets at each stop.

One set will find the band performing “Surtur Rising” in its entirety, while the other will see the band play a variety of fan favorites from their back catalog. Speaking on their plans, band drummer Fredrik Andersson offered:

“We’re really excited about the upcoming album, Surtur Rising. And what better way to showcase it by playing the full album on our first U.S. tour for Surtur Rising?! It’s definitely a unique opportunity for our fans because not only will the album be performed live but a second set with material from our previous albums will take place. We want our fans to really experience Amon Amarth.”
