Huntress have put in the work in the studio and they're ready to get their road legs under them at this summer's Mayhem Festival.

Two-time Grammy nominated Skillet are set to release their new album, 'Rise,' on June 25. The lead single, "Sick of It," was released on iTunes and radio on April 9 and in the meantime, the band has released a short teaser video of the track.

Young Guns are on fire. The British band's "Bones" single went to number one at Active and Mainstream Rock radio, Kerrang! named it the number one song on their list of the 250 Best of 2012 and they are nominated for a Revolver Best New Talent Golden Gods award.

Dream Theater keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess is pushing the boundaries once again. He has just teamed up with PledgeMusic to help launch a pair of new projects: an orchestral composition, "Explorations for Keyboard and Orchestra," as well as a solo piano album, 'Explores.'
