I was inspired by a lot of albums, but one that inspired me a while ago was 4:...

Deafheaven Release New Studio-Recorded Live Album 10 Years Gone: Stream
Deafheaven have released their new studio-recorded live album 10 Years Gone, commemorating the illustrious first decade of their career. Initially, Deafheaven were to go on a world tour called “10 Years Gone”, but the pandemic shut that down. Making the most of the situation, the band decided to properly record its planned setlist live in the studio, offering a vivid document of what fans would have witnessed had the tour happened. The only thing missing is the crowd noise as Deafheaven deconstruct arguably the strongest set of songs in their catalog. “Daedalus” and “Glint” were released as singles, teasing the immensity of this psuedo-live document. Tackling each song full bore, it’s Deafheaven at their most intense and direct. “Revisiting the songs in this studio sessions format with Jac...

Turn Back the Clock to the Golden Age of Dubstep With Zeds Dead’s “THE LOST TAPES”
Zeds Dead‘s new mixtape is a reminder that wine and friendships aren’t the only things that get better with age. THE LOST TAPES is a breathtaking record comprised of “old school dubs and misplaced IDs” that the iconic dubstep duo produced back in 2008 and 2009. Released today, the mixtape is a treasure trove—concealed for over a decade—of experimental bass music and wonky dubstep that is reminiscent of the golden age of the genre. Spanning 10 instrumentals, it is a surefire must-listen for fans of Zeds Dead who were around for their formative years, when they dropped some of dubstep’s most timeless tracks. Zeds Dead The entire THE LOST TAPES project is one giant Dominique Wilkins-like highlight reel, so it’s difficult to illuminate its sta...
Listen to David Guetta, MORTEN, and Lanie Gardner’s EDM Cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”
We would like to think Stevie Nicks is feeling a sense of pride seeing the overnight success of young singer Lanie Gardner. Gardner’s life was flipped upside down after a TikTok video of her singing a cover of Fleetwood Mac‘s iconic song “Dreams” went viral. Now, with the backing of two of EDM’s biggest stars David Guetta and MORTEN, she is in the spotlight for a much-deserved second time. The trio has released their electronic rendition of “Dreams,” doubling down on the explosive growth of Gardner’s scintillating cover. The “future rave” tandem completely transformed the Fleetwood Mac classic, but Gardner keeps its pure essence alive with her hypnotizing vocals. With its entrancing synths and soaring house drop, this cover h...
ROB HALFORD Has No Regrets
In a new interview with Fox Sports 910‘s “Freak Nation”, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford, who is promoting his recently released autobiography “Confess”, shared that he has learned from his mistakes but would never term them as regrets. “Well, first of all, I’ve never really liked the word ‘regret,'” he explained (hear audio below). “I think it’s too hard and cold and doesn’t have any kind of empathy. I prefer to use [the word] ‘reflect’ — you’re reflecting on your past. Because you shouldn’t beat yourself up for some of the poor choices you’ve made, either of your own choice or through the circumstances of another person. There are some things where you are directly at fault, and you pay ...
Necromancy – PERSUADER
RATING: 8.5/10 There was time, not so long ago, when power metal seemed to be dominated by bands that sounded, to put it mildly, a bit too fucking cheerful. Not that there’s anything wrong with an occasional dose of positivity, but these are dark times. As humanity at least appears to be pirouetting blindly towards oblivion, super-melodic heavy metal continues to be one of the most uplifting sounds around, but preferably leavened with some acknowledgement that this world is pretty screwed up and, you know, only death is real. Make no mistake, fans of soaring melodies, ultra-melodic shredding and multi-layered symphonic bombast will find more than enough to enjoy in the new PERSUADER album. But this is also a brutal, obsidian piece of work, with a progressive streak a mile wide and at...
GRETA VAN FLEET Announces New Album ‘The Battle At Garden’s Gate’; ‘Age Of Machine’ Single Available

Also included on the effort will be “My Way, Soon”, which was made available in October. Regarding the new album title, singer Josh Kiszka told Rolling Stone: “There are definitely Biblical references. Not just in the title, but throughout the entire album…This is a world with the ancient civilizations in it, just like our own parallel universe, really. It’s an analogy. Each song is a theme. A magnification of different cultures and civilizations inside of this world searching for some kind of salvation or enlightenment.” “...
METALLICA’s ‘Sad But True’ Gets Mongolian-Language Makeover Courtesy Of THE HU
Better Noise Music recording artists THE HU have debuted their “hunnu rock” cover of METALLICA‘s “Sad But True” today, along with a music video. The track is a unique take on the beloved classic that has over 142 million streams on Spotify alone. THE HU‘s distinct style allows listeners to hear this song in a completely new way. The band added traditional Mongolian instrumentation along with their signature style of throat singing and swapped out “Sad But True”‘s English lyrics for their native language, Mongolian. The same distorted guitar melody from the original song helps drive the song forward, but the originality and musical prowess of THE HU‘s distinguishing sound makes this track stand out on its own. With this cover, THE ...
