Muse’s Matt Bellamy Shares Acoustic Cover of ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’
With the state of the world, there’s never been a better time to blast to “Bridge Over Troubled Water” for a moment of peace. Thankfully, Muse’s Matt Bellamy has us covered. On Friday, the British singer-songwriter dropped his rendition of the 1970 Simon and Garfunkel cut, complete with some delicate acoustic strumming and his stellar falsetto. The track sees a pretty powerful instrumental crescendo toward the end with an organ and some keys, making Bellamy’s held notes hit that much harder. “[This is] one of my favorite songs of all time, and a timely song for a tough year,” Bellamy says of the release. “We should all reach out and be there for our friends right now.” Back in 2018, Bellamy said in a Deezer interview that he’d love to cover the song, so it seems this may have been sitting ...
Deftones Drop New Single ‘Genesis’
Just one week before the release of their new album, Sacramento’s Deftones are giving fans yet another taste of Ohms. On Friday, the crew unleashed their latest single off the forthcoming album, “Genesis,” with a video to match. The release follows lead single “Ohms” which dropped on Aug. 21 alongside their announcement of a Sept. 25 album of the same name and some lyrical teasing. “Genesis” finds the group in its usual riff-heavy metal pocket, as its video — directed by Sebastian Kökow with live performance direction from Clemente Ruiz — is just as trippy and flashy as expected. SPIN recently took a look back at the group’s iconic 2000 album White Pony in honor of its 20th anniversary back in June. Take a look at our retrospective here and listen to Deftones’ latest single below: [em...

Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell and Carina Round unveiled Existential Reckoning, an appropriate new album for these times. The band is working as a group of covert operatives, which will be a theme on the album. Describing the origins of the collection, the band said this in a statement: “In the Summer of 2016, we received a call from Hildy Berger, Billy D’s loving wife. [REDACTED]. Billy D, rumored to have been carrying nothing but a bottle of wine and a mysterious briefcase, had disappeared without a trace somewhere in the high deserts of the Southwestern United States.

As live events continue to bite the curb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic’s wreckage, legions of pharmaceutical companies continue on a mad dash to the finish line in the race for a vaccine.
