The band "Eifo HaYeled" releases an unusual new song, "Acharei HaMilchama".
The new piece is based on the journals of Orr Blumovitz, a combat engineer killed in the Namer armored vehicle disaster in Gaza last June. In an interview with Iris Kol on 103fm, singer Hemi Rudner revealed how the song came about: "It is a special song in many ways. The lyrics were written by Orr Blumovitz, who was killed in the Namer disaster in Gaza last June. His parents, Gil and Roni, grew up on our music. To their surprise, they discovered he loved Israeli rock in general and 'Eifo HaYeled' in particular. They approached us shyly and asked whether we could do something, a kind of memorial project."
Young rocker "Yungblud" releases a new song that he describes as one big party!
Following "Emergence" and "Caramel", the band "Sleep Token" releases its third new song, "Damocles". Although it is a beautiful piece of music and a relatively calm ballad, its lyrics are very heavy, apparently dealing with the pressures singer Vessel has faced since the band rose to fame.
This week, on Israel's Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism, Metalist magazine released its documentary about the album honoring the late Staff Sergeant Yonatan Savitsky.

The song also has a star-studded video featuring Danny Trejo, Slash, Myles Kennedy and Valerie Bertinelli.

Veteran rocker Sammy Hagar released the official video this week for his personal new single, "Encore, Thank You, Goodnight." Hagar wrote it with guitar legend Joe Satriani, inspired by a dream that became reality.
