New Albums

Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and Metallica singer/guitarist James Hetfield are among the classic and contemporary hard rockers who have selected the 17 songs for the new Judas Priest compilation, ‘The Chosen Few,’ due Oct. 11.

After a three-year hiatus, Nickelback has emerged from the studio with the follow-up to 2008′s triple-platinum ‘Dark Horse.’ The new album, which the band produced itself, is titled ‘Here and Now,’ and is scheduled for a November 21 release.

First it was Sept. 27, then it was Oct. 4. Now the latest release date for the new Jane’s Addiction album, ‘The Great Escape Artist,’ is Oct. 18.

There’s always been a Halloween-appropriate look to the Misfits. So it’s only appropriate for the legendary punk band from New Jersey to release new music prior to trick-or-treating season. Get ready for ‘The Devil’s Rain,’ which comes pouring down on Oct. 4 and will be preceded by the start of a US tour.

By leader Chris Martin’s estimation, there are about four different track listings being considered for Coldplay’s fifth studio album. But this much is certain: The album’s title is ‘Mylo Xyloto’ — pronounced MY-lo ZY-letoe — and the release date is Oct. 25.

With new music to preview and two relatively new members in the band, the Smashing Pumpkins are scheduled to begin a 12-date U.S. tour in Los Angeles on Oct. 5.

The release date seems to be set in stone — or maybe in this case, it should be set in metal: Megadeth’s new studio album, ‘TH1RT3EN,’ will arrive Nov. 1 on Roadrunner Records.

Aug. 30 was already going to be a big day for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Thanks to a little help from Fuse TV, it’s going to be even bigger. To coincide with the release of the band’s new album, ‘I’m With You,’ on that Tuesday, Fuse will air a Chili Peppers concert from the legendary Roxy Theatre at 9 p.m. ET. The band’s Roxy show i ...

We still haven't seen any official announcements from the band, but it's clear that something is happening in the world of Van Halen -- and the latest mini-flurry of VH activity, which includes the band's first official Facebook page and a warning from vocalist David Lee Roth to 'get ready...,' has sparked a new round of rumors regarding their long-awaited new album. The new collection, which will

Rock supergroups have always been notorious for flaming out quickly, so when we found out Sammy Hagar was teaming up with Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Chad Smith to form Chickenfoot, we knew only time would tell if they stood the test of time. But in spite of the scheduling difficulties (and, no doubt, ego-juggling) that comes with a collaboration this size, the band has managed to defy the

He’s been one of the most sought-after producers in rock for 25 years — and now that he’s also co-chairman of Columbia Records, Rick Rubin is also one of the busiest, with his hands in a dizzying list of current and upcoming projects. Rubin discussed a number of those albums during a recent Billboard interview, conducted to celebrate the huge success of Columbia artist Adele’s new album, ’21′ (whi
