Because no exciting news is without the name Ryan Adams, it’s been a pretty bewildering last couple of months. Now, when we least expect it, Mr. Adams returns triumphantly. (Isn’t that how it always works?) But he’s changed face… some. If you visit his website, you’ll notice everything is gone, and instead, there’s a clip and a poll asking if you’d “buy it.” Now, what exactly is “it”?

Well, Ryan Adams’ forthcoming, in the cards full-on metal album, of course!

As the site states, “We’re going to begin pressing ORION — my most legit METAL record — on vinyl next week. Have a listen to the song below and let us at PAXAM know if you’d be interested in purchasing one.”

If you’re smart, you’ll vote yes. Several times. On different computers.

C’mon folks, we gotta hear this — and you can, starting now below.
