DAVE GROHL's DREAM WIDOW Metal EP To Be Released Digitally On Friday
March 21, 2022, 2 years ago
Variety is reporting that Dave Grohl’s metal EP, recorded as Dream Widow, will be released digitally on Friday, March 25, with a physical release to follow later this year.
The fictional band appears in the Foo Fighters’ comedic horror movie, Studio 666, which premiered in theaters last month and is now available on demand. In the film, the Foos rent out a mansion in Encino to record their 10th studio album, but they soon find out the place is haunted. Nearly 30 years prior, Dream Widow recorded a “lost album” there, before its frontman became possessed and murdered the rest of the band. Flash forward to today, Grohl embodies the same curse.
“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 told Variety ahead of the flim’s release. “I said, ‘Oh, fuck, 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.”
The EP’s first single, “March Of The Insane” came out last month. Check it out below, and stay tuned for further details.
