The song is the seventh single from the band's seventh studio album, "TANZNEID", due out on August 7, 2026. The song features "The Offspring" vocalist Dexter Holland, and the band members said the American band was one of their main influences even before "Electric Callboy" was formed.

It was preceded by "Afraid Of The Dark", which became the band's first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, and "Playing God" featuring Corey Taylor.
According to Chris Motionless, the song was originally written from a romantic point of view, but can refer to any meaningful relationship that has ended, whether a close friend, a family member or a partner. "Decades" will be their first album since "Scoring The End Of The World" from 2022.
The band "Poppy" released the new single "Dying To Forget".
The song is the third single from the studio album "Empty Hands", released on January 23, 2026 via Sumerian Records. The video also features Stephen Harrison of "House Of Protection" and Isaac Hale of "Knocked Loose", both co-writers of the song.

The song is the third single from the fifth studio album "Everything's Falling", due out on August 28, 2026 via Island EMI Label Group. It was preceded by the singles "Kerosene" and "Ego".
The band members said "Ritual" deals with the fear of losing something good even in times when everything seems fine, and with anxiety that prevents you from enjoying the moment.
The band "Sleep Theory" released a cover of the song "My Heart", originally performed by "Paramore", and we love both of these bands so much!! The song first appeared on the debut album "All We Know Is Falling" from 2005, and now gets a fresh interpretation from the Tennessee act. The new version comes just one week after the release of a cover of *NSYNC's hit "Bye Bye Bye".
The band "Bring Me The Horizon" released the new single "Dehumanized".
The song is a completely new track written and recorded especially for "Count Your Blessings | Repented", the new version of the debut album "Count Your Blessings" from 2006. The new album will be released on July 10, 2026 to mark 20 years since the original album's release. The production of the new album was led by Oli Sykes and guitarist Lee Malia, and the band members emphasized that their goal was to create the best version of the sound that characterized "Bring Me The Horizon" in 2006 rather than update it to the spirit of the times, and we have to say the song really represents their early sound... did someone say Jordan Fish??
Alongside the album's release, the band will play two special shows in Manchester on July 10 and 11, where it will perform "Count Your Blessings" in full.

The new album follows "Will Of The People" from 2022 and includes ten songs, among them "Be With You", "Cryogen", "Hexagons" and "Nightshift Superstar". The album's name is taken from a mysterious radio signal received in 1977 and still considered one of the most intriguing signs that may indicate the existence of intelligent life outside Earth. Like much of "Muse"'s material, "The Wow! Signal" also deals with cosmic mystery, interstellar communication and the search for meaning in the universe.

The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, continues to receive tributes in his hometown of Birmingham, as the black throne so identified with him will be displayed starting July 1 at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. The gothic chair served Ozzy at his final performance as part of the "Back To The Beginning" event and at "Black Sabbath"'s farewell show held on July 5, 2025 at Villa Park stadium.
An interesting fact is that the chair was originally built for Ozzy's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2024, and only later became one of the prominent symbols of his career's closing chapter.
The chair will join the exhibition "Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero", which has already drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors and will remain open until September 27, 2026.
The band "Iron Maiden" addressed the power outage that cut short its show at Paris La Défense Arena in Paris this week. The band was performing as part of the "Run For Your Lives" tour, but due to the malfunction and the "curfew" set for the venue, it had to give up the planned encore, which included "Aces High", "Fear Of The Dark" and "Wasted Years".
In a statement it published, the band thanked the audience for the patience and support, and noted that it is examining the option of including the unperformed songs in the final version of the concert film being shot during the tour.
The Paris show was one of the evenings recorded for a future "Iron Maiden" video production, which made the malfunction especially unusual for the band.
The band "Slipknot" revealed the worldwide release date of "Look Outside Your Window", the album recorded in 2008 during the "All Hope Is Gone" sessions and left on the shelf for almost two decades.
After being released in a limited edition for Record Store Day on April 18, the album will be available worldwide on CD and in additional vinyl editions starting June 12, 2026. The project was recorded by Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson and Shawn Crahan separately from the rest of "Slipknot"'s members, with the aim of creating music more experimental and melodic than that identified with the band. An interesting fact is that the album includes guest appearances by Cristina Scabbia of "Lacuna Coil", who was Jim Root's partner at the time.
The band "Linkin Park" set a historic achievement at the "Download" festival when it took the festival stage for the fifth time in its career. The show, held on June 14, drew about 95,000 viewers and made "Linkin Park" the band that has headlined the festival more times than any other act since its founding in 2003. Another achievement: this was the band's first festival show since its return to activity with Emily Armstrong, who became the first female vocalist to front a band closing (headlining) the "Download" festival.
The band "Faith No More" officially confirmed its return to the stage in 2027, after years of uncertainty surrounding its future.
Bassist Billy Gould revealed that the band members decided to use the time they have left to perform the songs as they were originally written, noting that "Faith No More"'s music requires great physical effort and that they feel now is the right time to return.
The act has not performed together since 2016, and in 2021 canceled all its planned shows following Mike Patton's struggle with mental health issues.
The musician Bon Scott continues to reveal unknown sides of his life, even more than 45 years after his death.
A rare collection of seven letters and postcards written by the "AC/DC" vocalist during the 1978 tour is now up for auction, offering a personal glimpse into the band's life during the period when it promoted the album "Powerage".
In the letters Scott describes the load of shows, the nonstop travel and the nightlife of the era. The collection also includes photos, backstage passes and schedules from the 1978 European tour, documenting the period before "AC/DC"'s global breakthrough with "Highway to Hell" in 1979.
The cult film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" will get a special version for the Sphere venue in Las Vegas, expected to open during 2027. The film will be adapted to the complex's huge LED screen and will combine advanced sound and display technologies to create a viewing experience that envelops the audience and draws it into the plot. The choice of film follows the success of the Sphere version of "The Wizard Of Oz", with the venue's management noting that "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was chosen thanks to its long tradition of active audience participation, which made it one of the most successful cult films of all time.
