THE TROOPS OF DOOM Feat. Ex-SEPULTURA Guitarist JAIRO ‘TORMENTOR’ GUEDZ: Music Video For ‘Whispering Dead Words’
The official music video for the song “Whispering Dead Words” from THE TROOPS OF DOOM, the new Brazilian band featuring former SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz, can be seen below. The track is taken from THE TROOPS OF DOOM‘s debut EP, “The Rise Of Heresy”, which was released last October via Nuclear Blast‘s digital subsidiary, Blood Blast Distribution. The EP was mastered by Øystein G. Brun (BORKNAGAR) at Crosound Studio in Norway. It contains four new original songs and cover versions of two early SEPULTURA classics, “Bestial Devastation” and “Troops Of Doom”. THE TROOPS OF DOOM also includes acclaimed graphic artist Marcelo Vasco on guitar, Alex Kafer (ex-NECROMANCER, EXPLICIT HATE, ENTERRO) on vocals/bass...
GOJIRA Wanted To Express ‘Something More Joyful And Energetic’ With ‘Fortitude’ Album
GOJIRA frontman Joseph Duplantier was a guest on a recent episode of Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio show. Asked what he and his bandmates learned from 2016’s “Magma” album that became “starting points” for the follow-up effort, the upcoming “Fortitude”, Joseph said: “Well, ‘Magma’ was a beautiful experience, and it sort of brought us to another level, but we didn’t really realize that [at the time]. I see that today — when we release something, [there’s] much more attention around the band and stuff — but I was working hard, going on tour and I didn’t see anything really happening other than my everyday life with the band. But when we started to work on ‘Fortitude’, we wanted so...
Women’s History Month Tribute: Björk
The brilliance of Björk can extend interminably outward, filling out the starry firmament from which she finds inspiration and unity. To call Björk unique is an infinite understatement. She’s more of a protean polymath exploring the outer rims of the psyche with an unflappable lust for life. Because, in her own words: “The unknown turns me on.” As an impressionable teenager of the late ‘70s, Björk was bedazzled by the punk conquest. She drifted in and out of mainly arty, transient post-punk projects from the self-formed Exodus to Tappi Tikarrass to KUKL, the last of which morphed into her most well-known pre-solo band, The Sugarcubes, in 1986. That final installment of short-lived groups garnered enough attention to break out of domestic Icelandic success only, and for her to break out of ...

Lady Gaga’s Dog Walker Had Part of His Lung Removed
In a new social media post, Fischer recounts his long recovery, from “bleeding out on a sidewalk,” to “overly-active ICU patient,” and “just waiting for my lung to heal so I could go home.” Fischer endured a setback when, he explains, doctors identified a collapsed lung which required immediate surgery, and a partial removal. In a video accompanying the post, Fischer can be seen preparing for his journey out into the wider world, carefully and slowly dressing himself while removing his gown, soundtracked by Carly Simon’s “Coming Around Again.” For a brief moment, we get a glimpse at the injuries he sustained. “Along with accepting the news that I was about to be readmitted,” he admits, “several nurses and doctors told me how they had been in the room when I came in with my gunshot. How the...

BTS Share Experiences of Racism, Lend Their Support to #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate
Mindful not to make themselves the focus, the band’s statement then highlighted moments when they “faced discrimination as Asians,” including enduring “expletives without reason and were mocked for the way we look” and being “asked why Asians spoke in English.” The statement stresses that the band’s “own experiences are inconsequential” compared to recent events but that the racism was “enough to make us feel powerless and chip away our self-esteem.” The band stressed that “what is happening right now cannot be dissociated from our identity as Asians,” and that they took their time to consider carefully how they would use their voice to speak up on the issue. In a call to action, BTS ends the statement by a...
Lost Girls: Menneskekollektivet
Drafting, more often than not, is terrifying for an artist. You can spend your whole life on a draft, ideating endlessly, never arriving at a finished product. It feels like an especially strange place for Jenny Hval, the avant-garde Norwegian artist who has been making rigorously theoretical, supremely varnished records under her own name for a decade. Hval primarily deals in feminist exegesis, in fully fleshed-out ideas about aging in a female body, or menstruating, or choosing whether or not to be a mother. Listening to music can feel like reading Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto after drinking three espressos. Her work with Håvard Volden as Lost Girls is different; it is more freeform, improvised. The duo’s debut LP, Menneskekollektivet, lives almost exclusively in the draft stage, and ...
Lil Nas X Trolls Critics of Music Video and Satan Shoe with “Apology” Video
On Friday, Lil Nas X released a provocative music video for his latest song, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, in which the rapper gives Satan a lap dance before snapping the Devil’s neck. Adding to the inevitable controversy, he also teamed with Brooklyn art collective MSCHF for a “Satan Shoe” allegedly containing one drop of human blood. Conservatives predictably lost their collective minds, with prominent figures like commentator Candace Owens and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem taking the bait. What Lil Nas X’s critics forgot, however, is that he grew up on the internet. The Atlanta rapper ran a popular Nicki Minaj stan account and spent months trying to meme his way into making “Old Town Road” a hit before it eventually broke through to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. As such, he pos...
System of a Down’s Daron Malakian Supports “Gun” Cover of “B.Y.O.B.” and Guns, In General
System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian had thus far been relatively quiet throughout the recent political headlines surrounding his bandmates — specifically the polar opposite beliefs between left-leaning singer Serj Tankian and right-wing drummer John Dolmayan. However, Malakian recently offered his support for Second Amendment gun rights by reposting a video of a drum cover of SOAD’s “B.Y.O.B.” using firearms as percussion. The video was created by “GunDrummer”, a guy who actually shoots guns to make beats, as he plays along to the song with pistols, rifles, and machine guns. The footage (below) is literally triggering, so watch with discretion. Malakian, who released the 2019 single “Guns Are Loaded” with his band Scars on Broadway, used the occasion to announce his pro-gun stance wi...
