Teen Metal Band Chained Saint Announce First-Ever Tour

Teen metal band CHAINED SAINT — comprised of four high school students Ethan Kahn (17, guitar), Sebastian De Avila (18, bass), Cameron Cottrell (19, drums) and Sean Sterling (18, vocals) — were one of the most hotly tipped bands of 2024. In just a few short months, Revolver, Guitar World, Loudwire, and Judas Priest legend Rob Halford praised the band for their chops. SiriusXM's Liquid Metal added the band to their playlist, and their debut single "Animosity" served as the theme song for the WWE 2K24 DLC 4 trailer in September.

The band is over the moon to announce its upcoming, first-ever headline tour of the U.S.

Chained Saint will also appear at several festivals through the year, including Welcome to Rockville, Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, and VANS Warped Tour. 

All upcoming dates, including a support slots for Alice In Chains, are below. Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 25 at 10am local time. Pre-sale starts tomorrow, Wednesday, April 23 at 10am local time. Get tickets here.

"We cannot wait to get on the road and play in all of these great cities around the country," the band says with a twinkle in its collective eye. "This is what it's all about for us. Bringing our music to the people and having that direct connection with our fans, as well as making new ones city by city, by playing our songs live, is what we've been dreaming of!"

Born in a South Florida garage back in the summer of 2022, Chained Saint's recently released debut album, Blindside (out via independent label Patriark Records) combines the raw, organic riffery of the best old-school '80s thrash metal with a dash of modern-day brutality befitting the many challenges confronting the youth of 2024. The past and present collide, resulting in modern, metallic maelstrom made by a bunch of kids who play with fire in their veins — and their hands! Blindside, produced by William DuVall of Alice In Chains, focuses that fury into a powerfully concise, eight-song LP. The album was recorded and mixed to analog tape with no computers involved whatsoever in the recording sessions. No AI. No studio trickery. No bullshit. Just real riffs made by real players.

Rick Wakeman, featuring the vocals of Hayley Sanderson brings an all new show to the U.S. this Summer

In the last five years or so, keyboard maestro, composer and raconteur Rick Wakeman CBE has entertained audiences around the US with his brilliant and witty one-man shows, featuring solo performances of his work with YES, his own compositions and some surprise adaptations of other musicians’ material.

 

However, in July, his STRICTLY WAKEMAN tour will present a new show unlike any of his previous appearances. For the first time ever, Rick will be joining forces with a female singer – Hayley Sanderson, well-known for her work as one of the leading vocalists on the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing TV show – to present a series of concerts featuring music specially adapted for piano and vocals.

 

Rick and Hayley have been working together for several years. He accompanied her on her 2009 album, Just Songs, and impressed by her vocal versatility and clarity, subsequently invited her to sing lead vocals on a number of his shows for band (and sometimes, orchestra) in the UK and South America, at prestigious venues like the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall and the O2 Arena. Her awesome vocals also feature on the definitive Live At The London Palladium box set, recorded when Rick led his band through The Six Wives Of Henry VIII, The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and a set of YES classics, over two magical nights in 2023, and on his studio album, A Gallery Of The Imagination. Rick was also the person to give her the affectionate nickname ‘Strictly’!

Rick Wakeman needs no introduction. His 50-plus year career started as a much-in- demand session pianist and keyboard player, who performed his own arrangements on many classic records by the likes of David Bowie, Cat Stevens and Elton John. After a brief sojourn in the Strawbs, he joined YES and remained a member throughout their most productive period when they became the most successful progressive rock band in the world. After leaving YES, he acquired legendary status by writing and recording groundbreaking concept albums on a grand scale, but is equally at home performing solo on a Steinway grand piano. His record of being the only pianist to have two solo instrumental albums (Piano Portraits and Piano Odyssey) enter the UK charts in the Top 10 on release remains unbroken. While respecting his own musical history, Rick is always looking for ways to refresh, update and extend his legacy. “Hayley is great to work with, as she has the talent to feel the music in such a way as to make all the arrangements seamless,” he comments. “Hayley and I have never worked in concert with just the piano and voice, and so it opens up opportunities for new arrangements of pieces from rare albums, like Make Me A Woman from the Time Machine album, and Julia and The Hymn from 1984.”

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to witness Rick’s latest creative explorations in the company of Hayley Sanderson!

"Look, some unknown band can go ahead and put out a presser about why their latest single is so important to them, and meaningful in the grand scheme of life, and bla bla bla bla. But here is why you PROG METAL DORKS need to check it, and our previous singles out right now. IT'S RIGHT UP YOUR PROG LOVING ALLEY, PAL. Do you like heavy, groove laden riffs? Do you like vocal harmonies? Do you like Rhodes pianos??

Watch the Behind the Scenes Interview with ISD

Stream / Listen to "The Game" HERE

IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION (ISD), hailing from Metro Detroit, have carved out their niche in the metal world with their signature Progressive Super Metal sound. Since their debut album 'Recurring Themes' (2012), produced by Roy Z, the band has toured with the likes of Pain of Salvation, Kingcrow, Fates Warning, and Circus Maximus, steadily building their reputation.

After their critically acclaimed concept album 'Triumphia' and their emotional third release 'The Sun Will Always Set', ISD are set to return in 2025 with their fourth album, 'Floodgate', once again produced by Nick Hagen. 'Floodgate' promises a dynamic mix of concise, heavy, and epic tracks, rich with vocal harmonies and standout performances from every member. This album pushes the band’s progressive metal songwriting even further, marking another milestone in their evolution.

About the album, Piccoli states:

"'Floodgate' is the idea that after a significant event in life, artists and musicians alike tend to open up the floodgate of creativity and let it all out. This album is a celebration of that floodgate opening up. We’re super proud of this one, and we hope you’ll enjoy the different paths this album will take you.”

Behemoth Livestream Extravaganza Set For Friday, 4/25

BEHEMOTH are set to make history with their largest ever headline performance, taking place at the prestigious Hala Stulecia in Wrocław, Poland, on Friday, April 25. 

With 6,000 tickets sold and the event officially sold out, this monumental hometown show marks a defining moment in Behemoth's storied career — and in the history of extreme metal itself.

Together, they will command the stage inside the legendary Hala Stulecia, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its cultural and architectural significance.

Speaking on the upcoming event, Behemoth frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski shares, "We are standing on the threshold of an unprecedented moment in extreme metal. This will not only be the biggest headlining show Behemoth has ever performed and will be one of the most monumental and significant black metal concerts in history."

He continues, "For this occasion, we've prepared an extraordinary production — our biggest to date. With a full multi-camera setup, we'll be capturing every moment of this spectacle. Fans from the United States, from across continents, from every corner of the globe who can't be with us in person — you'll still be able to join us live in real time, or stream the show for 48 hours after the event. I invite and encourage all of you to be part of this. If not in the flesh, then in spirit, through your screens."

Tickets can be purchased here, where fans can also get their hands on exclusive merch.
 
Early bird tickets are priced at $12.99 if purchased before Wednesday, April 23. Standard tickets thereafter will be priced at $16.99.

Wind Walkers Drop New Track "The End Aesthetic" + Official Music Video With New Record Label Home Fearless Records

It's a great day to be a Wind Walkers fan! Today, the genre-blending metalcore powerhouse made their triumphant return with their new single "The End Aesthetic" (produced by Nick Matzkows and Jon Eberhard) and the official music video. Furthermore, Wind Walkers announced signing with their new label home, Fearless Records. When asked about the inspiration behind today's track, the band shared:

“I think that lyrically this song ended up being a lot more self-observant than I had intended it to be. I started with the chorus which is more of an outward projection, expressing the feeling that everyone is hiding something about themselves. Whether that be hidden anxieties, fears, or vices. As I wrote more, this song kind evolved into something that looked more inward. It talks about my own issues with numbing to distract myself from how sick the world is and asks the question, “Was our environment designed to make us feel this way?”

Stream "The End Aesthetic" at the link here, and watch the music video  below.

Coinciding with today's release is the band kicking off their tour alongside Memphis May Fire, Caskets, and Elijah on The Shapeshifter Tour beginning tonight in Little Rock, Arkansas, and performing at fan-favorite festivals Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville.

Wallen Reveals 37-Song Tracklist feat. Collabs with Tate McRae, Post Malone, Eric Church & More

After spending the past few weeks teasing song titles from his upcoming album I’m The Problem on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, Morgan Wallen is revealing the full tracklist to the robust 37-song project. Featuring collaborations with pop superstars Post Malone and Tate McRae, plus close friends Eric Church, ERNEST and HARDY, I’m The Problem arrives May 16. Pre-save HERE.
 
The album opens with the title track, “I’m The Problem,” a cutting double-edged confession that reveals the complexities of a relationship at its lowest point. It concludes with “I’m A Little Crazy,” a quiet, self-reflective song that looks inward while examining the world outside. Between all of that, Wallen displays his ability to reach listeners on a granular level. 
 
While Wallen co-wrote 22 of the tracks on the album, he tapped into 49 songwriters, curating a tracklist that’s both deeply personal and resonant, while viewing life events through a different lens than he’s used in the past.
 
“A lot of the concepts and things we said were a little more difficult with this album,” Wallen says of the writing and refining process. “We were trying to dig deep on things and trying to find new angles. And I feel like we did that. I feel like there's a lot of stuff that I haven't said in this record, which I'm really, really proud of.” 
 
“I Ain’t Comin’ Back (Feat. Post Malone),” available Friday, marks the duo’s second collaboration following the crossover success of “I Had Some Help” last year, which recently topped two billion global streams. Written by Wallen, Louis Bell, Michael Hardy, Austin Post, Ernest Keith Smith and Ryan Vojtesak, and produced by Joey Moi, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” teases a cheeky play-on-words, as the guy leaves the relationship, vowing never to return: There’s a lot of reasons I ain't Jesus / But the main one is that I ain’t coming back.
 
Pre-save “I Ain’t Comin’ Back (Feat. Post Malone)” ahead of Friday, HERE.

Wallen recently became the first artist ever to have two albums spend over 100 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. With each album, Wallen has refined his music, but with this one, Wallen digs even deeper, providing a glimpse into his life that feels more intimate, more grounded and closer to his core.
 
The project sparked Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour. Kicking off June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Wallen’s 20-show run will include stops in Seattle, Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second stop recently added in Madison, Wisconsin, Wallen’s appearances will mark the first time an artist has played two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium.
 
A rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel join in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as first-of-three across select dates. Coupled with Wallen’s Sand In My Boots Festival, these 21 shows are the only place to see the superstar in 2025.

About Morgan Wallen:
Morgan Wallen sets the pace in, and beyond, country music – with Billboard calling him “the biggest country star in the world” and The New York Times doubling down, declaring he’s “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” With 17 No. 1 singles at Country radio, 19 Billboard Music Awards to-date, more than 170 weeks spent atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (the most in country music history), the highest selling country tour under his belt and more, Wallen has propelled country music to a global level in less than five years. As Las Vegas Review Journal puts it: “Wallen’s appeal is remarkable as it is fueled by his ability to connect to a crowd.” 
 
With Dangerous: The Double Album, Wallen solidified his place as the “dominant country superstar,” with the project recently being named Billboard’s No. 1 Album of the 21st Century. One Thing At A Time’s groundbreaking success saw Wallen’s crossover appeal reach a global scale, as he topped the Australian ARIA charts for the first time, along with a host of other accolades. With two No. 1’s already hailing from his forthcoming album release I’m The Problem, due May 16 via Big Loud / Mercury, Wallen digs even deeper, uncovering a side that’s both more vulnerable and more resolute than ever before.
 
As Wallen prepares a refreshed setlist for his 20-stadium-show I’m the Problem Tour, kicking off on June 20 in Houston, Texas, he’s also highlighting some of his favorite artists by bringing the personally-curated, multi-genre Sand In My Boots Music Festival to Gulf Shores, Alabama, this May, which sold out in less than two hours.
 
Wallen continues to donate a portion of every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation — which supports youth music and athletic programs and gives communities access to essentials in times of crisis. More at MorganWallen.com.

DRAKE MILLIGAN ANNOUNCES STACKED 2025 “IN CONCERT” TOUR AROUND THE GLOBE

Critically acclaimed Country star Drake Milligan announces an impressive slew of dates with “Drake Milligan In Concert,” which slates his 2025 schedule opening for stars like Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan as well as his own headlining shows. Kicking off the tour in the desert at Stagecoach Festival on April 25th, Milligan will make his way through key markets across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. 

 

Milligan recently opened for Blake Shelton who spontaneously pulled the newcomer on-stage to perform a George Strait classic, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas.” The viral moment was one Milligan had not expected, but one he was fully prepared for as a fan and student of the King of Country. 

 

For select dates throughout “Drake Milligan In Concert” fans can purchase VIP tickets, which provides a unique experience including early entry, an exclusive 1-song acoustic performance, and a group Q&A session with Milligan himself ahead of the show. The 2025 “Next Big Thing” artist (MusicRow) has a packed year with more announcements to come! 

About Drake Milligan:

Drake Milligan burst onto the national music stage entering the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, charting back-to-back #1 hits on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, #1 on iTunes All-Genre Chart and reclaimed the #1 spot on iTunes Country Albums Chart, all while simultaneously holding positions #1, #2, #3 and #5 on iTunes Country Video Chart. In the UK, Milligan’s debut album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth, Texas native is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike. Milligan has performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach and CMA Music Festival, and earned high praise from People, BBC, USA Today, Parade, American Songwriter, CMT.com, Billboard, ET, Access Hollywood, Cosmopolitan, Cowgirl Magazine and Taste of Country. Following his Dallas/Fort Worth debut – named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard and others – Milligan uncorked a Canadian Country Radio #1 in 2023 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws) and garnered 5 million views in just a few months with “Cowgirl For Christmas.” His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released in 2024, with hit single “I Got A Problem” earning #1 on the Australian Country Radio charts. The acclaimed “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.) also returned to his primetime TV roots for a performance on the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and hit the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour. With over 200M streams worldwide, Milligan is currently on his own headlining tour and will be on the road throughout 2025 opening for Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton.

Maddox Batson’s “First Dance” Extends w/ “The After Party” – 3 New Songs Out 5/2

There’s nothing like the anticipation of your first dance – or as an artist, your first EP – and budding singer/songwriter/entertainer Maddox Batson wants to keep the excitement going. Having sold out the first leg of his Road to Indio Tour in support of his 7-song March 21 release First Dance, the Tennessee teen adds three songs – “I Need A Truck,” “Somewhere South” and “2 Feet” – with First Dance (The After Party), available Friday, May 2 via Prosper Entertainment/Warner Records.  
 
"We’re so excited to add a few tracks and release a deluxe of First Dance for our fans,” shares Batson. “I’ve been blessed to write with so many incredible songwriters – we have so many good songs that we’ve been playing on the road, and some have already felt like fan favorites. We just felt like we should get ‘I Need A Truck’ and ‘Somewhere South’ out to fans as soon as possible,” he adds of releasing a deluxe just six weeks after his first EP. 
 
“There’s one that felt important for me to share right now because it’s the perfect way to express how I’m coping with everything that’s happening, and that song is ‘2 Feet’,” he shares of a song he co-wrote with Tiggi and Mishon Ratliff and is a nod to his whirlwind year including his Grand Ole Opry debut, inaugural tour currently underway and first recorded music being available for fans. “I’m so excited to share even more music to our incredible fans with The After Party."
 
With “Girl In Green” and “I Don’t Like You Anymore” among the new songs already being sung back to him from the crowd at sold-out shows in Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, Raleigh, North Carolina, Huntsville, Alabama and more within the first two weeks on tour, Batson is writing and singing what he knows and it’s connecting. f28 observes, with “a performance that was both intimate and electrifying… the sight of parents covering their ears while their kids screamed with uncontainable joy was a testament to the infectious energy Maddox brings to his shows.”
 
As Batson looks ahead to his extended EP’s release and in particular “I Need A Truck,” the multi-instrumentalist adds, “Growing up in the country, you start talking about your truck when you're like 13. What's it gonna look like…what kind of wheels you're gonna get... whether it's a Ford, Ram or a Chevy. Usually that's passed down to you from your parents. Kinda like Coke or Pepsi. 
 
“‘I Need A Truck’ is about finding that special someone you can share that experience with… and this song is me picturing what it’s gonna be like to ride around with her. Nothing like it – a beautiful girl and a good-looking truck. I can't wait!"

About Maddox Batson:
Maddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the Nashville-born, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety covering songs from Zach Bryan, Red Clay Strays, and more, he started to write his own songs. Thanks to early singles like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at covering country hits, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts – a practice he saw first-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash hit collaboration, “Tough.”
 
With the arrival of his latest single, “Girl In Green” and his EP First Dance, Batson is ready to show the world what he can create all while preparing for sold-out live shows across the country, his debut appearance at Stagecoach Music Festival and more new music. Life is moving fast for the multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar & mandolin) who has fully embraced his next-up in country-pop music.  “It can be overwhelming, this life, but I’ve got a lot of good people surrounding me,” he explains. “I’m still just a kid, though, and I’m happy about that.” More at MaddoxBatson.com.

Progressive Metal Unit MOTHS Announce New Album 'Septem' Out on August 1st

MOTHS, the Progressive Metal unit from San Juan, Puerto Rico, are excited to announce the release of their upcoming album 'Septem,' due out August 1st. In addition to the announcement, the band has shared the first single from the upcoming album titled "Gluttony." The new single is accompanied by a music video premiering on Metal Injection, and is available to view below.

On the new single, bassist Weslie Negrón shares:

"'Gluttony' is about the seductive nature of overindulgence—the way excess can feel like an endless feast until you realize you’ve lost control. The song invites you into this world of limitless pleasure, where every desire is satisfied, but at a cost. The more you take, the more you need, and before you know it, you're consumed by your own hunger. Jonathan (lead guitar), who wrote the lyrics, wanted each listener to feel like they were the one being tempted, not in some distant or abstract way, but in their own daily lives. Whether it’s food, greed, addiction, or any craving that never seems to be enough, the song puts you in that moment of temptation. The lyrics are meant to feel immersive, like a whispered invitation that slowly pulls you in. There’s a fine line between pleasure and corruption, and this song exists right at that tipping point.”

On the music video, Negrón comments:

"For the music video, we wanted to take a direct and unfiltered approach to visually represent 'Gluttony.' To bring this vision to life, we brought in Drew Storks (Shy, Low), whose work not only captured the essence of the concept but elevated it to the next level. Alongside Ian Garcíaand Kyle Devorroh, they translated the theme into something grotesque and visceral—turning the sin of excess into an unsettling, visual experience."

Watch the Music Video for "Gluttony" below:

MOTHS' upcoming album, 'Septem,' is a visceral journey through the Seven Deadly Sins, with each track embodying a facet of indulgence, obsession, and self-destruction—from the corrosive jealousy of "Envy" to the insatiable hunger of "Gluttony" and the rage of "Wrath." The album plunges listeners into a dark, immersive experience where desire spirals into chaos.

Diving deeper into heavier territory, MOTHS fuse elements of Death and Black Metal with their signature blend of Progressive, Psychedelic, Doom, and Stoner Metal, crafting a sound that’s both aggressive and atmospheric.

'Septem' was recorded in just five days at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires, capturing the raw energy and inspiration of the setting. It also marks the debut of vocalist Mariel Viruet, whose range spans from haunting melodies to visceral screams.

The album was mixed by Walter Chacón (Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Between the Buried and Me) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.

On the album, Weslie Negrón reflects:

"'Septem' is our most ambitious effort to date. From traveling to another country to record it, to the addition of a new vocalist, and creating it all amidst a world in turmoil—it's incredibly rewarding to finally see it out there. This album contains some of my favorite songs we've ever written as a band. You can feel our chemistry in these tracks, how we came together to make them happen, without any boundaries or 'rules' about how songs should be written. It's an intriguing, unpredictable, and unconventional album, one that I'm sure will feel like a fresh sound to everyone who hears it."

Pre-Order 'Septem' HERE

MOTHS will be competing in the Wacken Metal Battle Caribbean on April 26th at La Respuesta in Santurce, Puerto Rico for a chance to compete for a spot in the Wacken Metal Battle finals at this year’s Wacken Open Air in Germany.

Nightfall Lead Beastly Anthem on New Single "Seeking Revenge"

Since rising up from Athens' underground in 1991, Nightfall have stood as pillars for Greek metal alongside current and former Season of Mist label mates Rotting Christ and Septicflesh. 

Like their brothers-in-arms, captain Efthimis Karadimas and his Athenian rebels sculpt towering gothic melodies from fiery blackened death metal. Their monumental eleventh full-length is bolstered by a powerful message and the mightiest production in the band's pantheon-level discography. The latest single from Children of Eve charges into the heat of battle with the same vengeance that fueled their rise, but "Seeking Revenge" is spearheaded by the biggest hell-raising chorus on an album full of crowd-pleasers.          

"We wrote this song in retaliation for the vengeful teachings that the catechism practices on us", Efthimis says. "It seeks revenge for the expelled ones, the traders of anathema, who have the outlandish desire to disobey Christian Svengali".  
   
Watch the searing lyric video for "Seeking Revenge" below:

Children of Eve comes out May 2, 2025 on Season of Mist.

During Nightfall's most recent hiatus, Efthimis was diagnosed with depression. Now, he wears a black mask to cover half of his face, symbolizing what it's like to live under the invisible veil of mental illness. "When you have demons in your mind, you're not always an ideal companion", he admits. "That stigma can lead to isolation".
 
Now, Nightfall are encouraging fellow metalheads to speak up. The band have launched a new initiative called Metal Music Against Depression (MMaD), which is supported by European Alliance Against Depression in Germany. "We can talk about this. We can sing about it. We can build a community that's based on understanding", Efthimis says.
 
With Children of Eve, Nightfall return from the shadows to unite blackened souls everywhere with their darkest and most epic creation yet.

Cryptopsy Announce New Album 'An Insatiable Violence'

A person spends all day building a machine, only for it to torture them at night. As if this thought wasn't malicious enough, they enjoy it. In fact, they enjoy being tortured so much that, come morning, they wake up rejuvenated, eager to tweak their creation until it runs perfectly in their mind. 

This is the waking nightmare that inspired the upcoming ninth full-length album from Cryptopsy. "The concept for our new album came to me in a dream. When I woke up, I immediately wrote the title down on my phone", vocalist Matt McGachy says before adding, "Because, you know, we all have to have our phones with us all the time".  

While an eerie mirror image of society's latest brain rotting obsession, An Insatiable Violence is influenced by the many mutations that have come to define Cryptopsy's Hall of Fame discography. On their new album, the JUNO Award winners continue to push death metal to even more blasphemous extremes. While near bursting with the band's brutal technique, lead single "Until There's Nothing Left" stakes its claim as their biggest, most vile earworm.

Watch the nightmarish video for "Until There's Nothing Left" below.

An Insatiable Violence comes out June 20 on Season of Mist.

Countdown to An Insatiable Violence
https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/68bFcUq3E7rilegbUCwexu?si=56ImYUobTLe2WyguJnMEFQ

"Until There's Nothing Left" holds nothing back. Just as quickly as the video's star takes the band's trusted bait, Cryptopsy lock him inside their freshly fleshed-out house of horror.

"Your greed for pleasure is too vast", McGachy utters with bottomless disdain thanks to his newly deepened death growls. Christian Donaldson reels through brutal chugs while Oli Pinard snaps off not one but two gruesome bass-slapping solos. After 30+ years behind Cryptopsy's drum throne, Flo Mounier continues to keep the band on the tips of their horned toes. With devilish ease, he slits between blinding fills, relentless double bass and punishingly precise blast beats without ever leaving the pocket. 

"Since our last album, I've developed new techniques that make it easier for us to go even faster", says Mounier, who literally wrote the book on extreme metal drumming. "An Insatiable Violence is a nice melting pot of Cryptopsy's old and new eras".

The first taste of their upcoming album does smack you around before springing into a commanding groove. But even though the band's last album won the JUNO Award for Metal / Hard Music Album just a little more than a year ago, Cryptopsy weren't content with reaping their rewards. Writing for An Insatiable Violence began in earnest last spring, while they were touring North America with Death to All. Working from the road was new for them. And while not without bumps, playing 140 shows over the past 15 months gave them a clear sense of direction once the time came to hit Donaldson's studio.   

"As Gomorrah Burns was a stepping stone for our new album", McGachy says. "We took what we enjoyed about the last album and focused on expanding it for a live setting. We wanted this album to be more groovy so that people can really latch onto these songs when we play them live".

With its headbanger of a chorus, "Until There's Nothing Left" will no doubt fill the pit when Cryptopsy tours Europe next month with Decapitated. The band's signature fishhook riff wriggles deep into the grooves in your brain beneath bat-like shrieks. "And as you now can clearly see / You're totally mine". Of course, the song wouldn't represent peak Cryptopsy if it wasn't filled with a more insidious message. Its sinister story of an online predator feeds into the album's larger cautionary tale.

"An Insatiable Violence reflects our toxic relationship with social media", explains McGachy, who's been feeling the effects since starting his podcast Vox & Hops. "I'm trying to break the cycle, but on those days where I'm just doom scrolling, I get so depressed. The fallacy of Internet stardom is just a dopamine trap that crushes our spirits".    

Cryptopsy know not every brutal technical death metal band is on the upswing nine albums into their career. The cover art for An Insatiable Violence pays tribute to their late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix. 

"Martin did None So Live, but he never really got to do a proper album", the band says. "His art is amazing. The two pieces of his that we used for An Insatiable Violence are incredible. His family was super excited about it, too. We are honored to have him be an even bigger part of Cryptopsy's lore".

The video for "Until There's Nothing Left" was written and directed by Christopher Kells.

Cryptopsy recognize that not every death metal band sticks around long enough to win a Canadian Grammy 30 years into their career. The cover art for An Insatiable Violence was created by the late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix.  "The album artwork has got to be one of the most important things to us!”, the band says. “Martin Lacroix was one of our vocalists, one of our great friends and one of the nicest people that anyone could have the privilege to meet. We really wish he was here with us to share this moment. His perfect smile would say it all! Rest in peace brother".

With Cryptopsy’s latest career renaissance showing no signs of slowing down, the recent accolades are only the beginning. An Insatiable Violence reaches a new peak in a career loaded with them.

MICHAEL SCHENKER RECRUITS DEREK SHERINIAN TO TOUR JAPAN

Michael Schenker has invited keyboardist Derek Sherinian to tour Japan with him in January, including a show at the legendary Budokan.

 

In 2021, Michael Schenker invited Sherinian to guest on his album "Immortal" album on the opening song "Drilled To Kill". Schenker said of Sherinian, "Derek and myself trading solos, it sounds unexpected and beyond my expectation." "Absolutely fantastic!" In 2022, Schenker returned the favor by guesting on Sherinian's Vortex album on the song "Die Kobra". In 2024, Sherinian appeared on Schenker's My Years With UFO album.

 

Sherinian was also recently named “Best Keyboardist” in Japan’s BURRN! Magazine 2022 Readers Poll (an award he also received previously, in 2020). Derek was also voted “Greatest Keyboardist of the 21st Century” and  #8 “Greatest of All Time” by MusicRadar.com, and also was ranked #9 “Greatest of All Time” in PROG Magazine.  

 

Sherinian has distinguished himself by his versatility, and aggressive "guitaristic" approach to his signature keyboard style. MusicRadar.com declared, "His virtuoso playing has seen him dubbed the keyboard-playing version of Eddie Van Halen." David Coverdale claims that “Derek plays the Hammond organ like the son of Jon Lord.”

 

Starting his pro career with Alice Cooper in 1989 on the “Trashes the World” world tour, Sherinian proceeded to tour and record with KISS, Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Billy Idol  and Whitesnake. He has also released nine solo albums, and was the co-founder of Planet X,  Sons of Apollo, and supergroup Black Country Communion (also featuring Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes, and Jason Bonham).

GWAR Celebrates 40th Anniversary with New Multimedia Release 'The Return of Gor Gor' Out July 25th via Pit Records/Z2 Comics

Shock rock legends GWAR are back to wreak havoc once again with their new Multimedia Release, 'The Return of Gor Gor,' due on July 25th, 2025, via Pit Records/Z2 Comics. This multi-format assault on the senses includes brand-new studio recordings, ferocious live performances, and an exclusive 32-page comic detailing the epic return of Gor Gor, GWAR’s long-lost, three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex. This release is a collaboration between GWAR and Z2 Comics, ensuring fans get the ultimate immersive experience.

But where has Gor Gor been all these years? How do you misplace a three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex? The answer lies in 'The Return of Gor Gor,' a multi-format experience that intertwines music and graphic storytelling. 'The Return of Gor Gor' follows the tale of an orphaned T-Rex cub, lost in a depraved world that is completely alien to him. Will he become an ally of the legendary Scumdogs of the Universe, or will their reunion unleash an apocalyptic battle? Only time will tell.

Kicking off the carnage, GWAR premieres the NSFW video for "Lot Lizard" today. Fans can also stream the track across all digital service providers (DSPs) and pre-order 'The Return of Gor Gor' now at Pit Records (where you can also get a Gor Gor Plush) and

Z2Comics.com.

About the new single, Blothar states:

"'Lot Lizard' is a blistering return to GWAR as a punk metal powerhouse with a sense of humor. What could be more charming than a song about a crack-addicted cross-dressing dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks? Nuttin honey. That’s what. The song rocks. Listen ya mooks…"

Watch the NSFW Video for "Lot Lizard" below

'The Return of Gor Gor' features three brand new GWAR songs mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, GodCity Studios) and four live tracks captured at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA during GWAR’s 2024 tour, mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy. All songs were produced by GWAR and mastered by Alan Douches. The release also includes a 32-page comic detailing Gor Gor’s return, which is included with all versions. Vinyl editions boast an animated etching of Gor Gor on Side A, with a Semi-Translucent Etched Deep Purple Vinyl available exclusively at GWAR.net and Semi-Translucent Etched Green vinyl at Z2Comics.com. A Deluxe Hardback edition is also available via Z2Comics.com.

40 years ago, the intergalactic warlords of GWAR emerged from their Antarctic tomb to conquer the Earth with their barbaric blend of metal and mayhem. Over the decades, their monstrous live shows and relentless discography have solidified them as the ultimate overlords of shock rock. Now, with BälSäc, Beefcake, JiZMak, and Blothar joined by the mighty shredder Grodius of the Maximus Clan, GWAR embarks on their latest quest—to reclaim their savage pet, Gor Gor, who mysteriously disappeared following the death of their former frontman, Oderus Urungus.

Blothar comments on 'The Return of Gor Gor':

"The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world."

Pre-Order 'The Return of Gor Gor' HERE

'The Return of Gor Gor' will be available in the following formats:

=> CD with 32-page comic booklet

=> LP with 32-page comic booklet and etched vinyl

=> Deluxe LP with hardcover 32-page comic and etched vinyl (D2C exclusive)

=> Standalone 32-page comic

GWAR will be on the road all year as part of their 40th Anniversary Celebration, about the excursion, Blothar says:

"This tour is gonna suck. Once again we will be onstage suffering through the attacks of a giant tyrant lizard just so humans can come to the gigs and get shitfaced on White Claws and show us their tits. Please, for the love of all that is holy, show us your tits."

Kenny Chesney's Spherical Premium Seats

Kenny Chesney always throws the summer’s hottest show. With all the songs, the friends, the fun, when No Shoes Nation comes together, a party happens – and memories are made. Knowing his residency at Sphere in Las Vegas brings an audience Variety calls, “a concert-going community rivaled perhaps only by Parrotheads and Deadheads” into a whole new dimension of experiencing the songs, the sound and the visuals, the songwriter/superstar wants to offer every possible way to view these landmark shows.
 
As the final plan for Chesney’s production at Sphere evolves from concept to reality, the opportunity to open-up additional 100 level, reserved seat inventory is now also a reality. These additional tickets will go on sale Tuesday, April 15 at 10 a.m. PT via KennyChesney.com.
 
“For the fans who want to be close, but maybe aren’t sure they’re ready for the sandbar experience, I get it,” Chesney says. “Normally, it’s three acts, the hot sun and a whole lotta hard plastic flooring, but when you’re being engulfed by this incredible sound and the dynamic visual content, it’s a lot to take in. 
 
“If you’re feeling more like you’re not ready to get in the pit, you want to really absorb all the sensations, I’m really glad the folks at Sphere were able to work with us to make these seats happen. Obviously, we had to wait until everyone knew what our production was going to require; but once we got it all settled, they were very quick to help us create yet another way to come on in and be part of it with us.”
 
With no tour or traditional shows this summer, high-impact performer Kenny Chesney wanted to make sure No Shoes Nation got the most out of having this other dimension. Being country’s first artist to play Vegas’ groundbreaking Sphere, which literally wraps fans in 4-D technology with the globe shaped building, is a big deal. Between the intense quality of the production, some songs people have never heard and guests, the man the LA Times deemed “the People’s Superstar” didn’t want to lose that direct contact that defines his stadium shows.
 
“Since we’re not outside, I want everyone to have the best space possible,” he offers. “We’ve got Brandi Cyrus getting people’s party on to start. The band and I haven’t played for No Shoes Nation since those three nights in Boston – and we’re so ready to get out there and rock. To me, these seats give people one more option to make these shows the best ones ever.”

Known for songs that chronicle coming of age in the flyover, Chesney’s treating this residency as a way to celebrate two decades of stadium-sized summers. With his Guitars, Tiki Bars and A Whole Lotta Love fan experience taking over a nearby two-story space at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas as a free way for even non-ticket-holders to experience the ride, including the Spread the Love Bar to grab a drink before the show, he’s creating a space where No Shoes Nation can celebrate all of the moments shared, songs they’ve loved and being together under Sphere’s aesthetic magic.
 
The only country artist in Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for the last 15, Chesney brings together in community, fun and letting go of what brings you down. With a three hour, no stop Sandbar experience, starting May 22 at Sphere, No Shoes Nation can get their 2025 summer started with 15 singular shows designed to make Chesney’s world without boundaries an even more engaged space.
 
Limited tickets remain for the Sphere residency at KennyChesney.com with official VIP Concert & Hotel Packages available via Vibee, the official VIP Concert & Hotel Package partner for Kenny Chesney’s Live at Sphere residency, at KennyChesney.Vibee.com. All Vibee packages offer guests a choice of premium tickets including Sandbar (general admission floor) or reserved seating, a collectable laminate and lanyard, access to the No Shoes Island VIP Pool Party, exclusive Kenny Chesney curated gift bag and early access to the Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love experience on show days for crowd-free shopping on exclusive merch items, and access to a dedicated shopping lane during public hours. Vibee Hotel Packages include a two-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (The Venetian or The Palazzo) or Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. 
 
Kenny Chesney Live at Sphere in Las Vegas is presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum.

Hollywood Undead Unveil "Hollywood Forever" (Funny Man Remix) Featuring Lefty Gunplay & N8NOFACE

Los Angeles, CA — Multi-platinum rap-rock juggernauts Hollywood Undead unleash a brand new take on their hit single "Hollywood Forever" today with an electrifying remix from founding member Funny Man featuring Lefty Gunplay andN8NOFACE. Find the track on streaming platforms HERE and watch the accompanying video created by LA based artist and animator MikeMeds below. 

The “Hollywood Forever (Funny Man Remix)” is a gritty, genre-blending rework of the fan-favorite anthem—an unmistakable tribute to Los Angeles, the city firmly rooted in the DNA of all three artists. The track seamlessly blends explosive rap verses that trade off between Funny Man’s laid-back swagger, Lefty Gunplay’s raw charisma, and N8NOFACE’s signature punk-meets-rap delivery, building in intensity before culminating in the original track’s epic chorus. 

Speaking on his remix of “Hollywood Forever”, Hollywood Undead’s Funny Man shares

“For the first time in Hollywood Undead history we have 3 Mexicans on one track with the homies Lefty Gunplay, N8NOFACE, and myself Big Funny Man who are all holding it down for LA and will continue to do so. Thanks to those legends for helping to show love and gratitude to the Undead fans.”

N8NOFACE comments 

“Soon as I heard the track and idea I wanted to rock it. Perfect genre killer joint and blends of styles,” 

With Lefty Gunplay adding 

“THIS ONE RIGHT HERE IS FOR THE CULTURE. 2025 JAY Z VS LINKIN PARK!”

Originally released in October 2024 via Sumerian Records, “Hollywood Forever” has racked up over 19.5 million cross-platform streams, peaked at #18 at Active Rock radio (currently holding at #20), and generated over 35.6k Shazams. The track is a testament (both lyrically and statistically) to the uniquely powerful bond Hollywood Undead share with their fans and the phenomenal staying power of a band who have been releasing albums since 2008. 

The remix lands as Hollywood Undead continue their monumental Hollywood & N9ne Return Tour, co-headlining with Tech N9ne and performing to thousands each night alongside special guests Set It Off and Zero 9:36. The current leg marks their long-awaited return to Canadian stages for the first time in nearly a decade. The band will also be performing at major US festivals Sonic Temple, Welcome To Rockville, Louder Than Life and Aftershock.

ABOUT LEFTY GUNPLAY

Lefty Gunplay sheds light on another path. He knows how easy it is to link up with the wrong crowd, get into trouble, and wind up behind bars—especially in a neighborhood like Baldwin Park where he grew up in Los Angeles. He’s living proof that your environment doesn’t have to define you. In less than a year, he returned home from prison and launched his rap career into the stratosphere. He broke through with prolific musical output, intense live shows, and a guest spot on Kendrick Lamar’s blockbuster GNX. Entangled in the streets, he spent a total of 19 years of his life in prison. However, he made a decision to change once and for all in 2024. He turned heads with “Blvd Babies” and dropped his first tape Rookie of the Year. He picked up the pace with Famous Gangbanger and Pre-Season in addition to collaborating withJeremih and OHGEESY. He popped off with Most Valuable Gangbanger, including “What The West Bout” [feat. Snoop Dogg]. Lamar also handpicked him for “tv off,” which exploded to the tune of 455 million Spotify streams, captured #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and went platinum. During 2025, Santa Fe Klan tapped Lefty Gunplay for “Lumbre” and welcomed him to perform live during Calibash. Now, he continues to push forward on his album, Can’t Get Right [EMPIRE], and more to come. Full bio HERE

ABOUT N8NOFACE

A self-described “Cholo goth father,” N8NOFACE has carved his own lane in the underground with a fierce blend of synth-punk, hip hop, and industrial no wave. Born in Tucson and based in Los Angeles, his prolific output and raw energy have earned him cult status and a growing audience of genre-agnostic listeners. N8’s latest LP Bound to Let You Down continues his streak of uncompromising releases that reflect real-life struggle and creative rebellion. Full bio HERE
