Dave Grohl Reveals Release Date for “Dream Widow” Metal Album

Dave Grohl has just revealed that his upcoming metal EP, recorded as the fictional band that appears in the Foo Fighters’ comedic horror movie Studio 666, will be released digitally next Friday, March 25th. A physical release will follow later this year.

Studio 666, which premiered last month, follows the alt-rockers attempting to record an album in a haunted mansion that was used as a recording location for the murdered Dream Widow. The metal band’s lost album Medicine at Midnight has now become Grohl’s creative side project.

“When we started writing the script, we had the idea of there being this epic metal opus that — once completed — would release the demon in the house,” Grohl said in an interview. “I said, ‘Oh, f–k, I’ve got a million riffs.’ So I recorded this 13- or 14-minute long instrumental just by myself that’s very metal, and it’s meant to be from the [fictional] band Dream Widow. Then, I furthered that idea by making a whole record by Dream Widow that would be their lost album that they recorded before they were murdered.”

Dream Widow’s first single “March of the Insane” came out last month, which can be heard below.
