Storming into the UK, Madina Lake, frontman Nathan Leone was rushed to A&E for stitches last night, which is about as rock and roll you can get!

Despite the stitches they are playing on, but with a change in the Leeds Cockpit show date, which has now moved from 7th February to the 22nd February, don't forget to check them out!

Following two album playback events in New York and at Abbey Road in London, the track listing of the new Porcupine Tree album “Fear of a Blank Planet” has been revealed:

1. Fear of a Blank Planet (7.28)
2. My Ashes (5.07)
3. Anesthetize (17.42)
4. Sentimental (5.26)
5. Way Out of Here (7.37)
6. Sleep Together (7.28)

The album is set for an April release through Roadrunner in Europe, Atlantic in the US, and WHD Entertainment in Japan. Please note that a version of the album currently listed on several mail order sites in Japan with an additional track included in the running order, and supposedly coming out in March, categorically does not exist, so do not order it!

Madina Lake frontman Nathan Leone was rushed to A&E last night after the Oxford 'Gym Class Heroes' show. Whilst performing a stage dive from the PA system the singer managed to hit his face causing him to puncture his lip. Despite carrying on with the show, he was taken to A&E immediately afterwards where he received several stitches. As a result the band will be unable to play the show tonight in Portsmouth, however they will hopefully be joining Gym Class Heroes for the remainder of the tour.

The new track by Within Temptation, “What Have You Done“, features on the new Italian TV trailer for 'Grey's Anatomy', promising a very powerful intro for the new season.
