Music News of Movember 1st, 2011

Yeah, I am taking part in Movember so I figured to do a lil plug about it.  All participants welcome!

So there has been a wide range of stuff going on today in the music world.  Here's what's been making [AFGM] headlines:

Black Veil Brides have dropped their official trailer for their upcoming "Rebels" EP, due in stores this Christmas:



The 15-second clip features footage of vocalist Andy Biersack recording a cover version of BILLY IDOL's "Rebel Yell".  Hopefully a broken nose doesn't stop the release of this EP ;-)

Lacuna Coil unveiled their Halloween outfits for their show last night in Italy.  Here are a few of Francesco Castaldo shots from the evening:

You can view the remainder of the photos here.

The Lost Children have almost been found!  Disturbed unveiled their trailer for their upcoming B-sides and rarities album "The Lost Children":

The album will hit stores on November 8th, 2011.  As most of you know, this will be Disturbed last album for quite some time, as the members have decided on an indefinite hiatus.
