SKILLET’s JOHN COOPER Criticizes Twitter For ‘Censoring’ DONALD TRUMP: ‘Freedom Of Speech Is Gonna Be Gone’
John Cooper, the frontman and bassist for the Grammy-nominated Christian rock band SKILLET, has criticized Twitter for permanently suspending President Donald Trump‘s account. Earlier this week, the social media platform decided that the president had crossed a line too far continuing to use Twitter to repeat debunked conspiracy theories about the election, even after thousands of his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an insurrection that left five dead. Twitter, which has a policy against inciting violence, undermining democratic processes and spreading election misinformation, announced it would no longer let Trump use its platform. Twitter suspended the president’s personal account, @realDonaldTrump, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence....
Iced Earth Bandmates Address Jon Schaffer Storming the Capitol: We Do Not Support Riots or Acts of Violence
Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer was among the hundreds of people who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday, and is currently being sought by the FBI and Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police. On Saturday (January 9th), his bandmates addressed the situation, stating, “We absolutely do not condone nor do we support riots or acts of violence.” Schaffer was photographed at the head of a mob that broke into the Capitol building in an effort to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. The riot occurred shortly after Donald Trump held a rally nearby and urged his supporters to march to the Capitol, at one point saying, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” The guitarist’s face was plastered all over m...
Music from Lady Gaga, Marshmello, SAINt JHN Tops MRC Data’s Dance/Electronic Songs of the Year
The annual MRC Data year-end report, which highlights the trends in music that shaped 2020, has arrived.

With hits such as the Ariana Grande-assisted “Rain On Me” and contributions from a myriad of elite electronic producers, including Skrillex, Madeon, and Tchami, the album was the top selling Dance/Electronic LP of the year according to the report. On the singles front, “Rain On Me” was eclipsed only by the sensational, TikTok-driven single &...

Finnish folk metallers KORPIKLAANI will release their new studio album, “Jylhä”, on February 5 via Nuclear Blast Records. The official music video for the disc’s latest single, “Niemi”, can be seen below. “Niemi” is a fast-paced and catchy neckbreaker which is reminiscent of KORPIKLAANI‘s heavier past, and it is accompanied by a good old-fashioned performance video that showcases KORPIKLAANI doing what it does best. Singer Jonne Järvelä commented: “‘Niemi’ was one of the first songs for this album. I had a feeling after ‘Kulkija’ that a next album could be the fastest and hardest ever in KORPIKLAANI‘s history.
