New Music Breakdown: Metallica, Papa Roach, Mark Tremonti, and More
Detroit Rock City, get ready for the latest in rock and metal news! Jade from 101 WRIF is here with your new music breakdown, and it’s packed with exciting updates from some of your favorite artists.
First up, the legendary Metallica is back on the road with their 72 Seasons tour, and they gave Boston fans a special treat last weekend. The band performed a cover of Neil Diamond’s iconic “Sweet Caroline,” a song that’s a staple at Boston’s Fenway Park and a must-play at every Red Sox game. The performance was electric, and if you haven’t seen the video yet, make sure to check it out online—it’s a must-watch!
In other news, Papa Roach has teamed up with country star Carrie Underwood for a new version of their hit song “Leave a Light On.” This collaboration is more than just music; it’s a powerful effort to support suicide prevention and mental health awareness, with all proceeds going to these important causes. Carrie Underwood, who is no stranger to rock and roll, has previously shared the stage with Guns N’ Roses and even had a fan girl moment with Michigan’s own I Prevail. She’s definitely proving she can rock with the best of them!
Next, Mark Tremonti is making waves with his solo band Tremonti as they prepare to release their new album, The End Will Show Us How, on January 10th. The first single from the album, “Just Too Much,” is already out, and you can watch the official video online now. Tremonti is currently on tour with Creed, and they’re set to return to Detroit at Little Caesars Arena in November, so mark your calendars!
Finally, in heavy metal news, Michigan’s own The Black Dahlia Murder has announced the release of their 10th studio album, Servitude, set to drop on September 27th. The animated video for their second single, “Mammoth’s Hand,” is available to watch now, and fans won’t want to miss their upcoming show at the Royal Oak Music Theater on November 9th.
