An exhibition of AC/DC artifacts called ‘AC/DC: Australia’s Family Jewels’ opens Saturday (April 28) at Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle. The collection, developed in association with AC/DC, made its debut at Arts Centre Melbourne in Australia in the fall of 2009.

Eight new bands have been added to the lineups for the Canadian Heavy MTL and Heavy T.O. festivals in August. Deftones, Dethklok, Voivod, Sword, Trivium, Emmure, Diemonds and Dance Laury Dance will perform at the shows in Toronto and Montreal.

After reports a few weeks ago that Deftones were set to enter the studio in July, photos posted on their Twitter feed this week indicate they are already hard at work recording a new album.

They don’t have a singer and haven’t released a CD since 2007, but a new Velvet Revolver DVD is set to be released. ‘Let It Roll – Live In Germany’ will be in stores May 25.

Eighteen years after his death, several never-before-seen photos of grunge icon Kurt Cobain are being exhibited in New York.

Punk rock legend Joey Ramone is getting a posthumous album release, as his second solo album will be unveiled on May 22 — 11 years after his death.

Filmmaker and undead rocker Rob Zombie is putting the finishing touches on his latest movie, ‘The Lords Of Salem,’ while preparing to enter the studio to begin recording a new CD.
