The band "WARGASM" releases a new single, "Small World Syndrome".
The electro-punk-rock duo returns with a new single and a particularly surreal video, a direct follow-up to its April comeback song.
The band "BABYMETAL" releases a new single, "Kon! Kon!", in collaboration with Indian metal band Bloodywood. This is the bands' second collaboration, following last year's "Bekhauf", which was Bloodywood's first collaboration ever. The new song comes from the upcoming album "METAL FORTH", due August 8.
The brutal duo "The Pretty Wild" releases a new single, "Living Ded".
The band "Deftones" returns with a new single!!!
Five years after its last release, the band finally returns with "my mind is a mountain", the lead single from its tenth album, "private music", due August 22.
The band "Black Veil Brides" releases a particularly heavy single, "Hallelujah".
The song was written by singer Andy Black and guitarist Jake Pitts, who also composed the music. As far back as last September, Andy hinted that work had begun on the band's seventh album, explaining that the 2024 EP "Bleeders" was written while they were creating new material.
Wait, let us catch our breath!!!
Okay, okay, just... a moment!!!
Well... where do we start?
With the fact that we are watching every season for the third time in a row while waiting for season five?
With the iconic season-four finale, running two hours and 22 minutes, which contains one of the greatest metal scenes ever seen on television, if not THE greatest???
Or with the fact that we watched the new season-five trailer in wild excitement, only to faint at Ian Gillan's screams in the background???
Yes, the Duffer brothers have done it again. The season-four trailer gave us goosebumps with its arrangement of Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)". This time it is "Deep Purple" with a special arrangement of "Child In Time".
Turn up the volume and press play!!
The band "Alter Bridge" announces an eighth album and a huge 2026 tour, and we are excited but also apprehensive!!
Since Creed's comeback and Tremonti's growing success, it feels to us as if AB is on autopilot, feeding the familiar riffs, choruses and verses into a computer and turning out an album. That is how we felt about 2022's "Pawns & Kings". We missed the soul, we missed something new and refreshing, but got something a little synthetic instead.
The new album carries the band's name. Usually, when that happens, it suggests an ending or a new beginning. We hope it is the latter. The album is due January 9, alongside a huge European and UK tour with Sevendust and Daughtry.
The band "Jane's Addiction" continues its soap opera...
Earlier this week, Navarro, Avery and Perkins filed a $10 million lawsuit claiming lost income. The lawsuit follows the well-known onstage incident last September, when the reunion collapsed after singer Farrell lashed out at guitarist Dave Navarro. It became a physical confrontation that led to the show being stopped, the tour falling apart and plans for new music being damaged.
A few hours after the lawsuit was filed, Perry Farrell filed a countersuit against his bandmates.
A guitar stolen from "The Rolling Stones" more than 50 years ago has been found!!
A 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul, stolen from the band more than half a century ago, recently resurfaced in a collection acquired by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The guitar belonged to former guitarist Mick Taylor when it was stolen, after he bought it from Keith Richards in 1967. Even before that, it was already part of music history: Richards played it on the Stones' debut appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in October 1964. Guitar legends including Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page are also reported to have played the iconic instrument over the years.
Legendary singer Rob Halford of "Judas Priest" has received the superhero treatment with a remarkably detailed six-inch figure. It has 12 points of articulation for posing, including the ability to raise a hand and throw the metal horns, just like the "Metal God" onstage.
While we are talking about music merchandise...
Legendary Swedish metal guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen keeps surprising us, this time outside music. At 62, he is launching his own range of supplements, including protein powder, probiotic capsules, electrolyte supplements, watermelon-flavored pre-workout and even yoga mats.
The products are available through his official online store, following last year's launch of "Yngwie Malmsteen's Force" vitamin gummies.
The band "Bush" releases its tenth album, "I Beat Loneliness", today, and it seems to be trying to balance its familiar sound with modern changes in music.
