Rave Responsibly: EDM.com’s 2020 New Year’s Streaming Guide
We’ve finally reached the time of the year when we can say—with a sigh of relief—these four words: “2020 is almost over.” New Year’s 2020 will look and feel much different thanks to COVID-19 lockdowns that seem to become more strict by the minute. Staying at home on New Year’s Eve isn’t the worst thing, though. You can spend quality time with family, party in your sweatpants, save hundreds of dollars on a one-time outfit, and avoid the inevitable vomit-inducing jäger bombs. Here is a list of virtual dance music events to stream on New Year’s Eve and Day—because being stuck at home doesn’t mean you can’t rave. Beatport x Absolut NYE 2020 Beatport x Absolut NYE 2020 will begin before midnight local time in Melbourne, Australia w...

Guitar Legend VINNIE MOORE Releases Music Video For ‘Same Sun Shines’
Guitar legend Vinnie Moore, best known for his solo albums and work with rock icons UFO, has released a music video for “Same Sun Shines”, a song from his latest critically acclaimed album “Soul Shifter”. Says Vinnie: “I wrote this song at a time when I was struggling to find some light at the end of the tunnel. It was me trying to lift myself up and reconnect with feeling positive and focusing on the good things. I was looking up at the sun and thinking about how it’s always there; always has been. We all go through cloudy patches, but just have to remember that beyond those clouds the light is still there and continues to shine. You will lose it at times, but can always find it again. Hopefully the song is uplifting to others as it was for me. It is on...

KORN’s FIELDY On Coronavirus Crisis: ‘I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This In My Life’
KORN bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu spoke to “Offstage With DWP” about how he and his family have been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. He said (see video below): “All I can say is you’ve gotta try to not really give in to talking about it, because talking about everything going on in the world, you find you’re never gonna get those 20 minutes to an hour back. For example, my son was bored yesterday. Well, it has nothing to do with the world shutting down. He’s bored, and he has a little band together. And he got a new guitar player that’s really good. And he’s, like, ‘He’s really good.’ And I go, ‘You wanna be better? You’re sitting on your phone right now.’ I go, ‘Go get your gui...

Leslie West, the legendary guitarist, vocalist and original founding member of MOUNTAIN, is reportedly “on his deathbed,” with only “hours” to live.

Mining Metal: Top 10 Underground Metal Albums of 2020
“Mining Metal” is a monthly column from Heavy Consequence writers Joseph Schafer and Langdon Hickman. The focus is on noteworthy new music emerging from the non-mainstream metal scene, highlighting releases from small and independent labels — or even releases from unsigned acts. The year 2020 is nearly done, and we’re sure most “Mining Metal” readers can join us in wishing it good riddance. The global pandemic left the international metal community, not to mention the entire music world, in a precarious spot: tours and festivals canceled, venues closed, and hard-working metalheads losing jobs. With all that darkness, the resilience of the genre remained a hopeful light. 2020 offered no shortage of excellent albums, some of them recorded during the pandemic itself. Diverse in their aims, st...
