"Tool" announces its own festival, "Live in the Sand". The three-day event features an impressive lineup including Primus, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria, Eagles of Death Metal and many others. It includes a high-end, all-inclusive stay at a five-star Hard Rock hotel in the Dominican Republic and takes place March 7-9, 2025.
"Linkin Park" releases the third single from its new comeback album, "From Zero", due November 15.
Israeli metalcore band "Her Last Sight" releases a new single from its upcoming EP, "SEASONS // WINTER", due December 13.
The band "Hollywood Undead" brings its masks back to life with a special new single. The masks were a major part of the band's identity early in its career, but in recent years the group has mostly appeared without them. With the arrival of "Hollywood Forever", the masks make a dramatic return. The band members appear unmasked for most of the video, while the song itself explores the connection they have built with their fans and, in some cases, how it helps them through difficult times.
Something is going very wrong with "As I Lay Dying" this week!! Four people have left the band's team over the past week: bassist Ryan Neff left last Saturday, tour manager Alex Kendrick left on Wednesday, guitarist Ken Susi left yesterday, and drummer Nick Pierce followed later that day. Chaos!!
Former "Iron Maiden" singer Paul Di'Anno died this week at 66. Paul sang on the band's first two albums and had suffered serious health problems in recent years.
It is nothing new for the members of "Slipknot" to change or replace their masks at will. In the past, every new mask or change came with a dramatic reveal campaign and plenty of media noise. In recent years, it has happened quietly and unexpectedly. This week, Corey Taylor unveiled an update to his existing mask, the one he started his Slipknot career with. The update includes a pair of glowing red eyes that certainly add a creepy atmosphere!!
We wonder how he can see through it...
