OF MICE & MEN’s ‘Second & Sebring’ Single Certified Gold In U.S.
OF MICE & MEN‘s fan-favorite single “Second & Sebring” has been certified gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) for accumulating 500,000 certified units. The song appears on the band’s self-titled debut, released by Rise Records in 2010, and is that which launched the band’s meteoric rise in the metalcore scene. According to the RIAA, one equivalent song unit is equal to a single digital song sale, or 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams. “Modern metalcore is not a genre defined by notoriety or accolades but moreso defined by the audience appreciating and connecting with the stories we share about ourselves,” says OF MICE & MEN drummer Valentino Arteaga. “This is an incredible achievement made possible b...
JINJER Begins Recording Fourth Album
Ukraine’s modern metal juggernaut JINJER has entered the studio to start working on its fourth album on Napalm Records. The recording sessions are once again taking place at the Kaska Records Studios in Kiev, Ukraine with producer and good friend Max Morton. Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov commented: “Those of you who keep an eye on us must have already heard that JINJER have been working on new material pretty much since the beginning of the pandemic. It is one of those situations where even the most negative and terrible predicament can sometimes have a positive outcome. Deprived of live touring, we managed to focus all our creativity and frustration and turn it into new songs which are, in my opinion, the best music we have ever written. It’s complex but yet catchy as hell, ...

DANKO JONES Calls JON SCHAFFER ‘A White Nationalist Piece Of Dog Dung’, Says ICED EARTH Is ‘A Fake Band’
Danko Jones has blasted ICED EARTH leader Jon Schaffer, calling him “a white nationalist piece of dog dung.” On Friday (March 19), U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui ordered Schaffer held without bail on six federal criminal charges related to his alleged involvement with the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He ruled that while Schaffer wasn’t a flight risk, he does pose a danger to the community. Schaffer‘s attorney argued his client’s comments were taken out of context, and that he knows he used bad judgment on January 6 and wishes he had a “do-over.” Earlier today (Sunday, March 21), Danko tweeted out a link to a NME article about Friday’s hearing, and he included the following message: “Jon Schaffer used bad judgement beca...
