ENGLAND – Porcupine Tree is gearing up for the release of its two-disc live set, Octane Twisted, next month via Kscope. The band has posted a track from the upcoming release, “I Drive the Hearse,” for streaming online here. Fans who sign up for the Porcupine Tree mailing list will receive a free download of the track.

It has been three years since Porcupine Tree released its latest album, The Incident, a collection that marked another step forward in the incredible journey of the band from a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties, to a Grammy-nominated act and one of the world’s most revered live bands currently selling out arenas across the globe. Now, Porcupine Tree is proud to announce the impending release of Octane Twisted, a double-disc live set recorded at The Riviera Theatre, Chicago, Ill. and Royal Albert Hall, London, U.K., out November 20th in North America via Kscope (and November 19th in the U.K./Europe). 

Octane Twisted consists of side one of The Incident – the band’s 10th studio album – recorded live in its entirety in Chicago. The second CD contains five Porcupine Tree tracks also recorded in Chicago, along with three highlights from the band’s landmark show at Royal Albert Hall. All the songs were recorded during the tour that supported The Incident, which went Top 30 in both the U.S. and U.K. in 2009.

About the Author

Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
First off, Fritz isn't my real name. It's a nickname I've had for so long, that I forget sometimes that my real name is Paul. So for all intents and purposes all you fine people can call me Fritz.

Anyway I'm one of the co-founders of Axis Of Metal, which I created out of a love for all things heavy. Admittedly my first foray into music wasn't so heavy. At twelve i developed a love for grunge music, which then lead to a love of classic rock, and punk. Then as I consumed almost every piece of music in said genres I needed something with a bit more intensity, and something more extreme. One day I was walking through the halls in my high school, and i heard music blasting out of someone's headphones, and it was exactly what I was looking for. So after I found out that it was Slayer's "Disciple" I went home that day, and listened to every song Slayer had ever released, and that's how it all started.

So that's my story, so why not go out and listen to me blabber on, on the podcast or go and read what the Axis Of Metal's writing team has to say. Axis of Metal is created by metal heads, for metal heads.
