The Wait is over...Actually, it's back!  Nearly three decades after going out of print, Metallica will release a remastered version of The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited on April 13, as part of their ongoing remasters series via their own Blackened Recordings label. 

Originally released over 30 years ago on August 21,1987, the collection features the band covering songs by early Metallica influencers such as Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and The Misfits. The five songs from the EP were later included as a part of the 1998 multi-platinum release Garage, Inc., but the band felt it was time to bring it back in the original formats.

Fans who pre-order the album will receive an instant download of ‘The Wait’ (originally released by Killing Joke in 1980).

With her new album, Go Dig My Grave, due on February 9, Norwegian artist Susanna has shared a beautiful interpretation of Lou Reed's ‘Perfect Day’. The upcoming album is a unique project between Susanna, Swiss baroque harp player Giovanna Pessi, accordion player Ida Hidle and fiddle player & folk singer Tuva Syvertsen. The quartet have reworked ten eclectic songs from seemingly disparate worlds and brought them together on this album of sympathetic and beautiful interpretations.

Filmed in Oslo & directed by André Løyning, Susanna explains the video, "André Løyning had this idea of showing something different than probably most people first think of as a ‘perfect day’- the love and affection between two men, in a relationship, spending a day off together. I immediately loved the idea, and we spent some time looking for the right couple. The main reason for me to make this video is to be able to show people around the world a same-sex couple, and to promote the rights for people to love and live together regardless of gender. I think Løyning has made a gorgeous video to our version of the Lou Reed song.”

With her 12th album, she explores historic musical gaps by combining music from the great American songbook and old English traditionals with baroque instrumentation and her own, characteristic vocal interpretations. Add some Henry Purcell, some Lou Reed, and Susanna’s own composition, and Go Dig My Grave is a profoundly personal collection of dark songs with deep roots through centuries of American and European musical heritage.
