Yes. Dave Grohl is releasing a metal album this Friday. (Mar. 25)
A few weeks after the release of Foo Fighters’ horror-comedy Studio 666, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will release a metal EP under the name of the fictional metal band featured in the movie, Dream Widow.
Last month, Dream Widow released “March of the Insane”, which is the track that Grohl discovers on tape in the spooky house they were staying in for the film. Grohl spoke on the the story of Dream Widow’s unreleased music.
“When we started writing the script, we had the idea of there being this epic metal opus that — once completed — would release the demon in the house. I said, ‘Oh, fuck, I’ve got a million riffs.’ So I recorded this 13- or 14-minute long instrumental just by myself that’s very metal, and it’s meant to be from the band Dream Widow. Then, I furthered that idea by making a whole record by Dream Widow that would be their lost album that they recorded before they were murdered.”
The album will be out on Friday, March 25th. It will only be a digital release on that date, but a physical release is expected to happen later on this year. Check out one of the lost tracks from Dream Widow, “March of the Insane” below!
