Grand Jury Drops Rape Case Against Mystikal
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty After years and years of self-inflicted harm and plain ol’ bad luck, Mystikal has gotten a break in the court of law pertaining to rape allegations that he’s been battling since 2017. According to TMZ the grand jury overlooking the rape charge that the “Danger” rapper has been fighting the past few years decided the case should be dismissed after feeling there wasn’t enough evidence for the case to move forward.

VIVID on His New Single “Fade Away,” Working With Morgan Page, and More [Q&A]
We love a good full circle moment in a producer’s career, and that is exactly what VIVID has experienced after releasing his second collaboration with the fabled progressive house producer Morgan Page. The track is called “Fade Away,” and it’s the ultimate feel-good single that will help you remember the simpler times in life. It’s the perfect follow-up to the duo’s 2019 Armada Music smash “Fire & Gold.” “Fade Away” combines the high-energy style fans have come to know and love from VIVID and the melodic production that is signature of Page.

LA Party Society Sued by City for Allegedly Violating COVID-19 Restrictions
Although the majority of clubs in Los Angeles have remained closed due to COVID-19 ordinances imposed by the city, LA Party Society has consistently flouted restrictions since March, according to City Attorney Mike Feuer.

KORPIKLAANI Drops ‘Sanaton Maa’ Music Video
Finnish folk metallers KORPIKLAANI will release their new studio album, “Jylhä”, on February 5, 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records. The official music video for the disc’s latest single, “Sanaton Maa”, can be seen below. The darkly atmospheric and folklore-laden music video features actor Yrjänä Ermala in a lead role. Accordion player Sami Perttula comments: “‘Sanaton Maa’ is meant to be a throwback to the ’80s with a folky twist: I wanted to write a classic-sounding mid-tempo hair metal song with a killer chorus that includes all the elements I like to hear in a good song. While listening to this, I can travel back in time on the back seat of an old Honda Accord that was cosmetically fixed with way too much putty and barely worked…. On the...

Was ICED EARTH Affected By Rise Of Grunge In Early 1990s? JON SCHAFFER Weighs In
ICED EARTH mainman Jon Schaffer spoke to Bandbond about how the rise of grunge in the early 1990s forced most hard rock bands off the radio and MTV, with album and tour sales plummeting. Asked if the popularity of bands like NIRVANA affected ICED EARTH when they first emerged, Schaffer said: “Well, I think the whole heavy music industry was, so I’m sure on some small level that we were. “You know, trends are a thing in the music business — whether it’s trends that are pushed by the major labels or whether it’s trends that are pushed by the indie labels, which, I mean, how many indie labels are there now, really? It’s all Sony and Universal buying up everything.” He continued: “I think that more of our battle was being from Florida and being a...
