SWARM Drops Blistering New Single “Heartless”
Never one to shy away from genre conventions, SWARM has dropped a blistering new single called “Heartless.” Combining elements of myriad genres, such as happy hardcore and punk, the rising bass producer succeeds in combining them while simultaneously shattering their boundaries. “Heartless” somehow tightropes the wire between nostalgic and punishing, thanks in part to the stentorian vocal flair of Dani King. Flanked by King’s deeply pensive lyrics about emotional numbness, SWARM delivers a rippling happy hardstyle bomb oozing with the ferocity of a Gammer tune. The production present in the drops of “Heartless” is high-energy and frenetic, representing a stark contrast to the brooding bass flavors of his other 2020 releases, like the...

BLACK SABBATH’s TONY IOMMI Mourns Death Of Longtime Lawyer
Tony Iommi is mourning the death of his longtime attorney. Earlier today, the BLACK SABBATH guitarist wrote on his social media: “I’d like to say how sad to hear of the passing of my long-term New York lawyer Jeff Greenberg.

Speaking to CBS’ Gayle King about how the case was presented to them, the jurors call the Daniel’s actions a “betrayal” and called out the Kentucky AG for lying about the 6 homicide options the jurors had on th...
