Artist News Release Round-Up Releases
Release round-up: Black Sabbath DVD and Lauryn Hill post-prison song, plus Goat and Cults

Black Sabbath are to release a new live DVD titled ‘Gathered In Their Masses’.

Whilst she wrote ‘Consumerism’, a protest against “corporate greed”, before she ‘did time’, it is, says its SoundCloud blurb, “a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently”.

To finish, why not take the ‘High Road’ with NYC tweeny boppers Cults, who are broadcasting a vid of that name in anticipation of their new LP, ‘Static’, which is released on 14 Oct. And this is it:
