Chevelle – Jars – Lyrics
Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Save for the pets
They’re the loneliest
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
We’ll save the earth
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like
Blood steals the summer scent
From me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of
This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
And feed from their hand’s
Confuse by opposites
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth
Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trends
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets
This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you’ll shout
Till the bitter end

“Endgame” is the title of American heavy metallers Megadeth’s upcoming studio album. It will be released in September by Road Runner Records.
Frontman Dave Mustane’s comments from Megadeth.com: Thematically, I’ve never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President’s legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document, which was signed into law, named ‘ENDGAME,’ has been uncovered. The album ‘ENDGAME’ is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed ‘ENDGAME’ -the document- into law. The album is also the perfect ‘ass- kicking’ music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document.
This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) Rust in Peace album,” Mustaine also said. “With this album I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist Chris Broderick to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and see what he could do.
The following is a videa of the album producer Andy Sneap talking about the recording process:
Grammy-award nominated progressive rockers from England, Porcupine Tree have announced details of their upcoming tenth studio album titled “The Incident“.
Porcupine Tree are happy to announce the forthcoming release of their tenth studio album “The Incident”. The record is set to be released via Roadrunner Records worldwide on 21st September, as a double CD.
The centre-piece is the title track, which takes up the whole of the first disc. The 55-minute work is described as “a slightly surreal song cycle about beginnings and endings and the sense that ‘after this, things will never be the same again’.”
The self-produced album is completed by four standalone compositions that developed out of band writing sessions last December – Flicker, Bonnie The Cat, Black Dahlia, and Remember Me Lover feature on a separate EP length disc to stress their independence from the song cycle.
Video footage of the band in the studio working on The Incident, as well as audio previews, will be available online soon. The band will tour extensively to promote the album from mid September onwards.
Here’s the footage of the band in the studio:
