New York, NY: SOULFLY are wasting no time getting out on the road for a month of advance touring in support of their forthcoming seventh album, Omen, due in stores May 25, 2010. The tour kicks off March 2 in San Antonio, Texas and runs through April 1 in Reno, Nevada.

The bill will feature Prong, Incite and Rotting Corpse as the support acts.

Tommy Victor of tourmates Prong lends his voice to the song "Lethal Injection," which appears on Omen, and fans will experience Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera singing the song live with Victor on this tour!

In addition to the tour, a video for "Rise of the Fallen" will be shot next month. The song features guest vocals from Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato.

I’ve never had the pleasure of attending a Van Morrison concert, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – but during most of the evening (with a few notable exceptions), it seemed like Morrison was just going through the motions and certainly not putting any extra effort into pleasing the audience.

Porcupine Tree came on to a roar from the audience, and immediately launched into “Occam’s Razor”, part 1 of their 55 minute epic from The Incident. I recently picked up the album and gave it a few spins before the show so I was familiar with the material but looking around I did see a few blank faces...

I've been a Talking Heads fan since I was 13, and I've seen Byrne perform four times before, but nothing to top last night's show, which featured a huge number of performers -- three backup singers, three dancers, two percussionists, various guitar players, a keyboard, a bass -- and the sweetest, goofiest, most lovely choreography since Stop Making Sense...

Taking cues from such bands as Tenacious D and Flight of the Conchords, members Vince Foss (guitar, vocals) and Miguel Matallanes (percussion, vocals) have a comedy routine that they expertly weave throughout their set. In between (and many times during) songs, most of the audience is grinning ear-to-ear from the on-stage dialogue.

Classifying themselves as "Adult-Alternative-Country-Funk-N-BluesRock!!", Dulcet Road isn't kidding. I've seen quite a few bands that consider their music to be a slurry of multiple genres, but most can eventually be pinned down to one or another. In this case, Dulcet Road really does ride the line between alternative, country and blues rock.. and that turns out to be a Good Thing because they can bring in such a varied audience...

The obvious diversity of the crowd attests to the nature of Porcupine Tree’s musical roots and the type of songs they create. Never happy to linger in a single musical moment, they have effortlessly slipped in and out of multiple genres throughout their career: from psychedelic pop to rambling electronic noise...

It’s good that Billy Sheehan performed last, because the guy could not be stopped by anyone. I didn’t think that anyone could play the bass with such ferocity, but I was wrong. Billy’s playing was so impressive, in fact, that I don’t even remember their being anyone else on the stage during his set (not to insult the backup...

Charlie Otto (lead singer, guitar) as David Byrne was a revelation- besides the music itself, The Talking Heads were famous for the pure energy channeled by David Byrne in concert and it's unlikely that they will ever play together again as a band...

What a truly spectacular event it was that took place on this sixteenth day of April 2009. A raucous affair that shook some people’s worlds upside-down and put others back into their right places. If everything is relative, than it must be relative to something right? I humbly submit that everything is relative to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, whose music shakes the very fabric of reality and shapes matter into being all around us.
