It is hard for us to write about this. The fact that a musician such as David Draiman offers comfort to Yarden Bibas, who endured one nightmare only to be released into another, may seem insignificant. For us, however, it is an opportunity to share and remember what this family and so many others have endured since October 7.
At the painful funeral of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir, who were laid to rest after being kidnapped and murdered in Hamas captivity, Yarden dedicated three songs to them. One was "Hold on to Memories" by David's band, Disturbed. David, a strong supporter of Israel, sent Yarden a message of support and condolences.
After performing at FireAid, the benefit concert for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, the original members of Nirvana (minus Kurt) reunite for another performance, this time for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the famous comedy show Saturday Night Live. Post Malone takes the microphone this time.
Could this be the beginning of something more?

The beautiful cover appears on the soundtrack of the upcoming wrestling film "Queen of the Ring", written and directed by Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen. The film is due in theaters on March 7.
Veteran rock icon Billy Idol releases the first single from a new album. "Dream Into It", Billy's first full-length album in more than a decade, is due April 25 and will feature duets with Joan Jett, Avril Lavigne and Alison Mosshart of The Kills. Idol says the album's autobiographical character took shape while he was working on an as-yet-unreleased documentary directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
The band "Disturbed" starts a new chapter and releases its first single since 2022. The song comes from the band's next album, to be released through its new independent label, Mother Culture Records.
We do not know whether this song was inspired by events in Israel, but it is certainly part of the narrative David presents in his lyrics.
The band "Architects" releases its 11th album, "The Sky, the Earth & All Between", an album we have been eagerly awaiting and which, as far as we know, was produced entirely by Jordan Fish.
