Dusty Hill, ZZ Top Bassist, Dead at 72 - @thebeast

FYI: Dusty Hill, bassist and longtime member of ZZ Top, has died at the age of 72. “We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX,” surviving ZZ Top band members Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard said in a statement. “We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top’. We will forever be connected to that ‘Blues Shuffle in C.’ You will be missed greatly, amigo.” Via COS

PHANTOM FIRE premiere new video at "Decibel" magazine's website - features members of GAAHLS WYRD, KRAKOW+++ - @thebeast

Today, uprising Norwegian metallers   Phantom Fire  premiere the new video  "Feed on Fire"  at  Decibel   magazine's website . The track is  the first to be revealed  from the band's  highly anticipated debut album,  The Bust of Beelzebub , set for international release on October 22nd via  Edged Circle Productions . See & hear  Phantom Fire 's "Feed on Fire" video in its entirety exclusively  HERE . It was but May 2021 when a brand-new entity burst from Bergen, Norway, bearing the all-too- apropos  moniker  Phantom Fire . With members hailing from such bands as Gaahls Wyrd and Krakow, the duo surprisingly went a different route with their debut EP,  Return of the Goat . Hard-rocking, hard-charging, reeking of rust and diesel,  Phantom Fire  proved they were their own band removed from any sort of lineal references. Better yet, perhaps, they were just getting started and already promised a debut full-length... Before the dust of  Return of the Goat  even had a chance to clear, that debut album is finally here:  The Bust of Beelzebub ! Flexing the same chops  and  some new ones,  Phantom Fire 's first full-length salaciously spans pitch-black speed metal and moody epic metal alike, all of it in (evil) obeisance to timeless HEAVY METAL magick. At once decades old and years ahead of the game,  The Bust of Beelzebub  bears an ageless wisdom across its succinct seven-song/29-minute runtime, like Aura Noir jamming out on some Cirith Ungol covers or early Omen getting turned onto the Swedish Cranium, and vice versa - on and on,  ad infinitum ,  excelsior ! Nevertheless, some interesting twists crop up in the most unselfconscious ways, like the spattering of spiraling psychedelic guitar or solemn Viking-dirge acoustics, altogether making for a wild ride across the hinterlands of the frozen Norwegian tundra...all before it's lit afire! With stout and richly analog recording courtesy of Iver Sandøy (Enslaved) at Solslottet Studio in Bergen and deliciously warped cover art by Nifelheim's Hellbutcher,  Phantom Fire 's  The Bust of Beelzebub  is an exceptionally unique take on the traditional. The band will be making their live debut at this year's Beyond the Gates: Uprising festival in Bergen on August 6th. In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video "Feed on Fire" exclusively  HERE , courtesy of  Decibel , North America's only monthly metal magazine. Preorder info can be found  HERE  at  Edged Circle 's Bandcamp.
