Weekly Music News 11.01.26

The musician דיאנה גולבי is releasing a new single called "צא לי מהראש". The single comes 5 years after her last one. דיאנה wrote, arranged and produced the song herself!!! None other than the superstar guitarist and huge virtuoso יוסי סאסי takes part in the song, and together with him perform בן עזר on guitars, אור לוביאניקר on bass, אלכס קרלינסקי on keyboards and ליאור יצחקי on drums. We very much hope more singles will follow, as part of an album coming out soon, so we won't have to wait another 5 years...


The band "Lamb of God" has released an official video for the song "Into Oblivion". The song was originally released as the fourth single from the band's tenth studio album, "Lamb of God", which came out on June 19, 2020. It is the first album by the lineup with drummer Art Cruz, who joined the band after Chris Adler left, and it marked the opening of a new chapter in its career.

The new video that accompanies the song completes its lyrical message and continues the dark, direct line that characterized the whole album.


The band "Black Label Society" has released a new single, "Name In Blood". The song is one of the singles from the band's eleventh studio album, "Doom Crew Inc.", which came out on November 26, 2021. The single was chosen as one of the central songs promoting the album.


The musician William DuVall, vocalist of "Alice In Chains", guests on the single "Black Horizon" by Metal Allegiance, which came out this week. DuVall noted that working on "Black Horizon" reminded him of his time in Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, because of the changing, non-linear nature of the piece. He added that although he took time to think and write, some elements of the lyrics became clear to him in the very first stages. "Black Horizon" is the first new song from Metal Allegiance in eight years, and marks the return to activity of the metal supergroup, which includes members of prominent bands in the American metal scene.



The band "New Found Glory" has released a new single called "Beer And Blood Stains", from the band's upcoming studio album, "Listen Up!", which is expected out on February 20. It is the eleventh studio album by the group and continues its steady activity in the American pop-punk scene. The band's guitarist Chad Gilbert said it is the heaviest song on the album, yet one that sounds almost like a party song.


The musician Flea of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" has announced his first solo album, called "Honora", which is expected out on March 27. The album includes original pieces alongside interpretations of songs by George Clinton, Jimmy Webb and Frank Ocean. On the album Flea plays trumpet and bass guitar.

Alongside the announcement, a new single called "Traffic Lights" was released, featuring Thom Yorke of "Radiohead", who is responsible for vocals, piano and synthesizers. Flea said the song was written and recorded on the first working day with drummer Deantoni Parks, and that the rhythmic character of the piece reminded him of the "Atoms for Peace" project, which led him to send the song to Yorke.


The band "VENUS GRRRLS" has released a new single called "3x3". It is the first release from the alt-rock label Killabop. It is also another collaboration between the group and producer Max Helyer, formerly of "You Me At Six", who also produced the band's previous material.

The full lineup of VENUS GRRRLS, which includes GK (vocals and guitar), Hannah Barraclough (bass), Eliza Lee (guitar), Grace Stubbings (synthesizer) and Alannagh Doherty (drums).


The musician "TX2" is releasing a new single called "Murder Scene", in collaboration with Josh Roberts of Magnolia Park, continuing the collaboration between the two sides after Evan Thomas of TX2 guested in 2023 on the band's song "Life In The USA". The single is from the debut album "End Of Us", which is expected out on February 13.


The band "twenty one pilots" has released an official trailer for its new concert film, "More Than We Ever Imagined".

The concert film is expected to reach IMAX and cinemas around the world on February 26. The film documents a show by the band (Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun) in front of an audience of about 65,000 people in Mexico City, as part of The Clancy World Tour that took place last year.


The musician Paul McCartney takes part in a promo video ahead of the release of a new documentary about him called "Man On The Run". The documentary focuses mainly on the period after the breakup of "The Beatles", and on the founding of the band "Wings" together with his wife Linda McCartney. The film deals with the years in which McCartney rebuilt his artistic identity, outside the framework of the band that made him one of the best-known musicians in the world.

What makes "Man On The Run" unique is its combination of previously unseen video and archive footage, alongside personal testimony from McCartney himself, including direct references to the complicated relationship with John Lennon, which grew more distant during that period. The film is expected to stream on Prime on February 27.


The band "אחשלי בחשלי" released its second album this week, and instead of us writing something, we are simply pasting here the brilliant post they published on Facebook.

The drummer Jay Weinberg has announced his departure from the band "Suicidal Tendencies". Jay said the decision to leave stems from a combination of personal and professional considerations, among them the birth of his first child expected later this year, his wish to devote time to personal projects and further collaborations, and work on new ventures.

He said the parting from the band is on good terms, and stressed the great appreciation he has for the members of "Suicidal Tendencies", the crew and the fans around the world, after a period in which he performed with the group on six continents.

He joined the band and first performed in March 2024, after being dismissed from "Slipknot". His departure comes after a short but intense period with the group, and less than two years since his first appearance on stage as part of the band.


The guitar maker Gibson has announced the launch of official replicas of the ES-355 guitar of the musician Keith Richards.

These are two exact replicas of the 1960 ES-355 guitar, considered one of Richards' most identifiable and best-known guitars. He used this guitar on the recordings of the albums "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main Street", and has used it on tours since 1997.

The model is offered for sale in two limited editions. The collector's edition includes Richards' signature on both the label and the back of the headstock, and is limited to only 50 instruments. The second edition, called the "Signed Label Edition", includes a signature on the label only and is limited to 100 instruments.

The guitars are priced at $19,999 and $29,999...
