The Week In Rock: July 1st – July 6th
7/2 Heart postpones its “Royal Flush” tour so that singer Ann Wilson can undergo cancer treatment. She had undergone an operation to remove “something that, as it turns out, was cancerous.”
7/4 System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian continues his criticism of Imagine Dragons for playing a show in Baku, Azerbaijan because it helped “whitewash the dictatorial regime’s image.”
In a Rolling Stone interview, Dan Reynolds (pictured above), Imagine Dragons’ frontman, states “(there are) corrupt leaders and warmongers all over the world, and where do you draw the line?”
“Respectfully, I draw the line at ethnic cleansing and genocide,” writes Tankian on social media.
7/5 Visions Of Atlantis drops “Pirates II – Armada.” The set features the tracks “Monsters” and “Armada.”
Influenced by Nightwish and fascinated by the myth of Atlantis, the band was founded in ’00.
7/6 AC/DC top the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart with their ‘90 hit “Thunderstruck” (from the band’s “The Razor’s Edge” set). The song first claimed the #1 spot on the Hard Rock Digital Sales chart back in ’12.
