‘I Have A Kid’: Siesta Key‘s Brandon Reveals He’s A Father
Brandon and Camilla were working toward “our place” (aka living together) in Siesta Key. But during tonight’s reunion, the two revealed that their relationship had taken a turn for the worst, and he disclosed some very unexpected news: He is a father. “I’m really not myself right now — it’s extremely hard,” Brandon stated as Camilla pressured him to “say it.” Brandon’s story: “Ten months ago, I hooked up with this girl, and she told me recently that I have a kid with her.” “You were with her for five months while we were dating, literally coming back to me,” Camilla interjected, adding she saw “the texts” that prove her point. “You literally couldn’t tell me the truth; I had to...
Siesta Key‘s Madisson Hausburg And Ish Soto Are Engaged
Madisson Hausburg and Ish Soto just made Siesta Key history: The couple is engaged! Yes, “I’m going to freak out!” The future Mr. and Mrs., who are the first lovebirds from the show to embark on life together as husband and wife, revealed their life-changing news during tonight’s inaugural reunion. How did the two — who met during Season 1 of the series when he was a producer on the show and disclosed their romance on the Season 3 premiere to quite the reaction — unveil their news? It began with host Jeannie Mai posing this question to Madisson: “You were very adamant that you wanted to settle down with Ish and start a family.

Mortal – NECROT
RATING: 9/10 NECROT followed a series of now revered demos with their debut album, “Blood Offerings”, one of 2017’s breakout death metal albums. Now, in 2020, Oakland’s beastly purveyors of punk-fueled death metal have returned. NECROT‘s sophomore, full-length album, “Mortal”, finds the Californians realizing a potential that their debut suggested was possible. And if the proverbial ball bounces right for them career-wise in terms of continued, growing recognition, the release will possibly establish the act as one of the leading figures of modern death metal. In any event, on a purely creative and artistic level, “Mortal” is absolutely riveting from front to back, a tour de force of timeless, gritty death metal. “Blood Offerings&...
Panther – PAIN OF SALVATION
RATING: 8.5/10 Fans of PAIN OF SALVATION have been trained to expect the unexpected. With a catalogue that stretches back to the mid ’90s, Sweden’s most fervently adventurous prog metal band have little to prove at this point, but there’s still absolutely no chance that leader and chief composer Daniel Gildenlöw will ever repeat himself. From early classics like “Remedy Lane” (2002) and “The Perfect Element Part 1” (2000), as well as the mind-blowing, esoteric complexity of “Be” (2004), through to the purist-baiting nu-metallisms of “Scarsick” (2007) and the analogue fuzz detours of “Road Salt One” and “Road Salt Two” (2010 and 2011 respectively), PAIN OF SALVATION are a genuinely progressive band in ...
DEEP PURPLE’s ROGER GLOVER: Why IAN GILLAN Refuses To Sing ‘Child In Time’
In a recent interview with Noise11.com, DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover spoke about singer Ian Gillan‘s apparent unwillingness to perform the band’s classic song “Child In Time” live. Glover explained: “This happened quite a few years ago. He drew a line in the sand. He said, ‘I’m not gonna sing that song anymore.’ And that was a personal decision. And we have to abide by that, because he’s our singer, and we respect that. “We wrote that song when we were 24, and when you’re 24, you can do things a lot differently than you can when you’re 74,” he continued. “I think it was also spoiled a little bit by politics in the band back in the days. Ian Gillan, one night, couldn’t go on and he said, ‘I&#...

Fates Warning Announce New Album Long Day Good Night, Unleash Single “Scars”: Stream
Progressive-metal pioneers Fates Warning have announced their 13th studio album, Long Day Good Night, will arrive on November 6th. The band has also shared the lead single, “Scars”. Fates Warnings’ storied career spans over three decades, and they keep delivering albums that push the band in new musical directions. Over the years, the group’s prog leanings have begun to outweigh the metal in its songwriting. But as “Scars” proves, Fates Warning can still lay down something heavy and atmospheric. For Long Day Good Night, the band aimed for diversity between songs rather than hold to any one template, as singer Ray Adler explained in the press announcement for the album. “The styles of music we’ve written distinguish this record from the rest of our catalogue,” Alder stated. “There are some ...
