Tool have announced a mammoth 2022 tour, with the Los Angeles-based band spending 3 months traversing the U.S. followed by a month of European dates.

Tool elected to kick off the highly-anticipated trek in Eugene, Ore. as a nod to the abrupt halt to their 2020 Fear Inoculum tour. Slated to play the Matthew Knight Arena on March 12, 2020, the show, along with the band’s remaining tour dates, was canceled as nationwide lockdowns began to take effect that evening.

The “Recharging Europe” tour, featuring Swedish progressive metal juggernauts Evergrey, was scheduled to begin in just a few weeks. But, due to the continuing uncertainty regarding live events, these shows - like so many others - will be postponed to 2022.
 

Rockshots Records is proud to announce they will once again be releasing the next recording from Swedish power prog band Hollow, lead by Andreas Stoltz (formerly Binary Creed).

Entitled “Tower”, the fourth album follows 2019’s “Between Eternities of Darkness”, which marked the band’s return after a 20-year hiatus since unleashing the 1999 album “Architects of The Mind” via Nuclear Blast Records.

Forward-thinking prog-metallers Cold Night For Alligators have announced their third full-length album called “The Hindsight Notes”, due for release on February 4th, 2022, via Arising Empire, and just released a new single entitled “Verism”. A masterclass in tight riffing and majestic vocals, “Verism” is another window into the unblemished world of CNFA.
