Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and his new band, Newsted, have announced details of the band’s first full-length album. Newsted’s ‘Heavy Metal Music’ is set to be released everywhere on Aug. 6, with the album track ‘Heroic Dose’ now available for your listening pleasure.
On Jan. 8, 2013, Newsted released its introductory disc, ‘Metal.’ The EP contained four tracks: ‘Soldierhead,’ ‘Godsnake,’ ‘King of the Underdogs’ and ‘Skyscraper.’ Jason Newsted is sticking to the “metal” theme with ‘Heavy Metal Music’ as the title of the upcoming full-length debut. The album will be the first Newsted release to feature Staind guitarist Mike Mushok, who joined the band after the recording of the ‘Metal’ EP.
Jason Newsted revealed the new album’s details, including the album art, track listing and Aug. 6 release date. The bassist also introduced the brand-spanking new track ‘Heroic Dose,’ which you can hear below.
I like this so far….
I wasn’t originally bothered with this band simply because of how ridiculous their naming conventions are. Once I heard the EP I was converted! Can’t wait to hear this!
This album seriously needs to be hyped up more. With Metallica not putting out anything until 2014/2015, Megadeth’s latest album not being quite as thrashy as there old stuff. It’s nice to see some good ol’ metal coming from Jason, I cannot wait for this album!!!!
