Bad Wolves have released a surprise duet with up-and-coming singer Diamante called “Hear Me Now.” The ballad highlights Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext and the 21-year-old vocalist joining forces and intertwining their vocals in soaring fashion. Vext said about the track, “It is undeniable what Diamante brought to the song as a final touch. In retrospect, it always felt like ‘Hear Me Now’ was a duet. In the process of recording together, I think we all fell in love with Diamante a little bit. And we think you will too.” Story source: Loudwire


Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich interviewed ToolA Perfect Circle and Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan for the latest episode of “It’s Electric!”, Ulrich’s online radio show on Apple Music’s Beats One. Talking about the long time it has taken A Perfect Circle and Tool to make their new albums, Keenan said, “There’s a lot of timing issues with Tool getting to the studio, I always try to gauge where they’re at, how things are going, and if I see a window where, ‘Okay, doesn’t seem like things are going to get done any time soon…’ The window might expand based on me going ‘I’m gonna go do something then.’ That’s why you had a lot of Puscifer for many years.”
