Pearl Jam will release their much-anticipated eleventh studio album, Gigaton, on Monkeywrench Records / Republic Records on March 27, 2020. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group. Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, Gigaton marks the band’s first studio album since GRAMMY award-winning Lightning Bolt, which was released on October 15, 2013.

Gigaton is available for pre-order now. The first single, “Dance of the Clairvoyants”, will be released in the coming weeks.

“Making this record was a long journey,” explains Mike McCready. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

Gigaton’s cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo “Ice Waterfall.” Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater.

In support of Gigaton, Pearl Jam will embark on their first leg of North American tour dates in March and April. The 16-date tour kicks-off on March 18th, 2020 in Toronto and wraps with a two-date stint in Oakland April 18-19, 2020.

Pearl Jam’s North American tour is in addition to the band’s previously announced European summer tour. Full details at their official website.

2020 officially marks 30 years of Pearl Jam performing live. Eleven studio albums, hundreds of unique live performances and official live concert bootleg releases later, the band continues to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful with over 85 million albums sold worldwide and a 2017 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dynasty is the original debut single and is a progressive energetic hard rock tune which refers to bullying and to the current broken generation.

The band felt it an important message to share, coming from personal experience. The song refers to a child who was bullied throughout his childhood and who realised how cruel people can become. Dynasty refers to the hate he received from his surroundings and the current generation which often has an apathetic attitude towards this phenomenon, or this dynasty as the song is called.

Dynasty features special guest singer and award-winning vocalist Chandler Mogel from the band OUTLOUD. The music and lyrics were written by DON CANYON members.

The song is released on the band’s YouTube channel as a Lyric video and it is available on Spotify, iTunes and all the relevant streaming platforms.

On March 22nd, 2019, MEGADETH celebrate their 35th Anniversary with the release of Warheads On Foreheads, a 35-track, career retrospective.

The anthology spans their entire studio recording career, from their first album Killing Is My Business… to their 2017 Grammy Award winning release Dystopia, and will be available as a three-CD set, a four-LP set and a digital edition via UMe Recordings. A limited edition, four-LP set pressed on silver coloured vinyl will be available exclusively through the band’s online store, with deluxe bundles to be announced.

“Thirty five years ago I chose the name Megadeth for my band and I see these songs as the most efficient weapons in the bands arsenal” says Dave Mustaine. “WOF is a U.S. military term for targeting efficiency,” Mustaine continues, “it’s all about using the right tool for the job and these tracks were created for maximum destruction (or stopping power, or something else!)”

In 1984, Dave Mustaine was determined to start a new band that would be heavier and faster than his peers. Mustaine’s song writing was rapidly maturing, and he set about combining the attitude and energy of punk, with the power and intricate riffing of metal, along with direct, socio-political lyrical content. With David Ellefson on bass and Gar Samuelson on drums, the band recorded their infamous 3-song demo which quickly circulated through the underground tape-trading circuit and became an underground hit leading to a deal with Combat Records.

Warheads On Foreheads starts at that beginning with the early thrashers “Rattlehead” and “Mechanix” from the band’s 1985 debut Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good, an album that would lay down the blueprint and establish MEGADETH as forerunners of what would later be called Thrash Metal (and recently hailed by VH1 as the Greatest Thrash Metal Debut of All Time).

MEGADETH was quickly signed by Capitol Records and released their 1986 major label debut Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?, which became the band’s first certified gold record and would go on to become MEGADETH’s first platinum selling release.

Featured on Warheads On Foreheads are “The Conjuring” and the track “Good Mourning / Black Friday” which Pitchfork describes as “everything great about hardcore, plus a dose of the kind of show-off skill that makes lesser musicians’ fingers bleed.” Other songs included are “In My Darkest Hour” from their platinum selling So Far, So Good, So What! (1988), “Hanger 18” and “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” from their GRAMMY nominated, platinum album Rust In Peace (1990), and “Symphony of Destruction” and “Sweating Bullets” from their 1992 GRAMMY nominated, double platinum release Countdown To Extinction.

Also featured are “A Tout Le Monde” and “Reckoning Day” from their 1994 platinum selling release Youthanasia, “Kingmaker” from their 2013 Top Ten release Super Collider, which hit No. 3 on both the Hard Rock Albums and Top Rock Albums charts, “She-Wolf” from the GRAMMY nominated, Top Ten release Cryptic Writings (1997) and the title track from the band’s most recent album Dystopia.

Upon its release in 2016, Dystopia reasserted MEGADETH’s place at the top of the metal world, equaling the chart impact of their early nineties output, earning the band their first GRAMMY, as well as rave reviews (The Guardian gave it five out of five stars and stated “Dystopia is an absolutely blistering return to the state-of-the-art bombast and refined technicality.”)

MEGADETH burst onto the scene thirty-five years ago, virtually inventing a genre and selling more than 38 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades including a 2017 GRAMMY Award for “Best Metal Performance” for the title track “Dystopia,” 12 Grammy nominations, and scoring five consecutive platinum albums. With sheer determination and a relentless recording and touring schedule, MEGADETH worked their way up from headlining clubs to headlining arenas, festival and stadiums, cementing a legacy that continues to grow and spread throughout the world.

Led Zeppelin was at the peak of its powers on July 27–29 1973 when the band’s performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden were recorded for the concert film, The Song Remains The Same. The soundtrack to the film, produced by Jimmy Page, was originally released on Swan Song in 1976.

The band continues revisiting their live canon on September the 7th, 2018 with a new edition of the soundtrack to THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME that features newly remastered audio. This release follows the recent reissue of their live album HOW THE WEST WAS WON, and rounds out the deluxe reissue series of their classic albums that began in 2014, building to the band’s 50th anniversary celebration slated to commence later this year. Coincidentally, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant played their first live show together, under the moniker The New Yardbirds at the time, on September 7th, 1968.

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME will be released in multiple formats, including the full album’s debut in hi-res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray. The Super Deluxe Boxed Set will be the most exquisite and elaborate release in the reissue series, recreating the intricate embossing of the set’s original issue and will also mark the first time the full length film and soundtrack have been available in the same package. On the 4-LP set, Page made a change to the track sequence, allowing the epic, 29-minute version of ‘Dazed And Confused’ to be featuring in its entirety on one side of vinyl for the first time.

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is the soundtrack to the legendary concert film of the same name, which was released in 1976. The performances in the film were recorded July 27–29, 1973 at Madison Square Garden during the band’s tour for its then-current studio album, HOUSES OF THE HOLY. The two-CD and four-LP collections are packed with electrifying live versions of Zep classics like ‘Rock and Roll,’ ‘Stairway To Heaven,’ ‘No Quarter,’ ‘Moby Dick,’ ‘Dazed And Confused,’ and ‘Celebration Day.’
