London Grammar Share Catalonia-Filmed ‘Baby It’s You’ Visual
British trio London Grammar are back with a new visual for their track “Baby It’s You,” beautifully filmed in the forests of Catalonia. The Wednesday-released “Trizz Visual,” which was directed by Oriol Puig and featuring 3D imagery from Trizz Studios, takes fans underwater and in the woods, with an animated big cat and some of the Earth’s elements joining forces for the flashy display. Baby It’s You (Trizz Visual) is out now on YouTube 🤍 https://t.co/47hUxKaseV “From all of us at Trizz Studio the journey to create this piece has been fantastic, and the chance to illustrate the amazing soundscapes of London Grammar was a real blessing.” pic.twitter.com/Fz7uwDnIJF — London Grammar (@londongrammar) September 9, 2020 The track itself was released last month and was their first n...
Timothée Chalamet And Zendaya Brood Their Way Through Epic Dune Trailer
Timothée Chalamet is afraid. But he’s not letting the fear grip him. A trademark floppy-haired Chalamet anchors the new trailer for upcoming sci-fi epic Dune, wherein he broods about his future, wears a breathing tube to navigate inhospitable terrain, and even briefly locks lips with his co-star Zendaya, though it might just be a mirage. It all might be, in fact — the murky Dune epic follows Chalamet’s Paul Atreides as he navigates the interconnected politics of a new world while also coming of age. “The dream is, like, [for] the theater to be rocking,” Chalamet told MTV News’s Josh Horowitz in 2018 about then being in final negotiations for his lead role. “To work on something of that scale — I’m not afraid of the green screen-isms of it all,̶...
OZZY OSBOURNE: ‘I Ain’t Done Yet’
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne reflected on the hardships of their decades-long romance. Check out the video below. Asked how he is still alive after everything he has been through, Ozzy said: “You know, it catches up with you in the end. I’ve got no complaints. I’ve had a great time. And I ain’t done yet.” This past July, Ozzy said that he was still “not back to 100 percent” after suffering from several medical issues last year, including a fall, neck surgery and hospitalization for the flu. Ozzy also said that he was looking forward to performing again once he has regained his health and the coronavirus pandemic has subsided. When the pandemic struck, Ozzy had just released his first solo album in a decade...
Go Behind The Scenes Of EVANESCENCE’s New Music Video, ‘Use My Voice’
Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the music video for EVANESCENCE‘s latest single, “Use My Voice”, can be seen below. The visuals follow frontwoman Amy Lee, her bandmates, and a diverse group of citizens as they unite for change and justice. The clip was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Eric Howell. Lee first met Howell back in 2015 when she was asked to write the end title theme for his film “Voice From The Stone”, starring Emilia Clarke (“Game Of Thrones”). Beginning with Amy alone in the dark and ending in a collective light-filled demonstration as the day breaks, the video serves as a hopeful metaphor of moving from darkness into a more illuminated future by being heard. Last month, EVANESCENCE partnered with HeadCount, one of the lea...
ICED EARTH’s JON SCHAFFER: MATT BARLOW Is Not Coming Back To The Band
ICED EARTH founder, songwriter, guitarist and producer Jon Schaffer has shot down speculation that former ICED EARTH vocalist Matt Barlow is returning to the band. After Schaffer and Barlow announced last month that they were reuniting as the SCHAFFER/BARLOW PROJECT, some ICED EARTH fans assumed that the renewed collaboration between the two musicians would lead to Matt being reinstated as ICED EARTH‘s lead singer, a position he hasn’t held in nearly a decade. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case, as Schaffer made clear in a Facebook Live chat on Tuesday (September 8). Addressing the rumors directly, Schaffer said (see video below): “There’s a lot of theories about whether Matt‘s coming back to the band, and he’s not. Stu [Block] is the sing...
Shame – UNIFORM
RATING: 8/10 The first two UNIFORM records were more than exhilarating enough, particularly if, like the band themselves, you felt that humanity was rotting from the inside out, and that a sudden and robust apocalypse might be just the thing to sort it all out. In particular, 2017’s “Wake in Fright” painted a ferociously bleak vision of society eating itself, over scabrous industrial noise rock that crackled with hostility and near-hysterical rage. When UNIFORM mutated into a heavier, more guitar-orientated beast on 2018’s “The Long Walk”, it could have gone horribly wrong and shorn the band of their unique appeal. Instead, it simply made them more terrifying and undeniable, as oozing synth drones and scabby-knuckled riffs became indistinguishable and vo...
Robert Smith Describes New Cure Song As ’10 Minutes of Intense Doom and Gloom’
The Cure’s Robert Smith revealed way back in February that a new album from the band was on the way, the lineup’s first in a dozen years and today, he shared a few more details about it. Joining Damon Albarn on BBC6 Music about the new Gorillaz collaboration, Smith said that being trapped inside due to COVID restrictions made him very productive, describing one of the final Cure cuts he’d written as “10 minutes of intense doom and gloom.” Smith also added that Albarn got a hold of him to work on the Gorillaz’s “Strange Timez” while he was finishing off the Cure track. He also gave more insight to what he said earlier this year: that the Cure would release their first album in 12 years. “Our whole idea for this year was really finishing off the album we started last year, me finis...
M.I.A. Drops New Stay-At-Home Club Anthem ‘CTRL’
Welcome back, M.I.A. The decorated British rapper and singer released a new track, “CTRL,” on Wednesday (Sept. 9) via her website OHMNI.com. But she has a message for fans who might think it’s a single from her next album. “CTRL! A SONG FOR 2020,” M.I.A. wrote. “This is not a song from M.I.A.’s upcoming highly anticipated IIIIIIth LP. It was made for the HERE + NOW, TODAY.” The booming track and colorful electronic visuals would be perfect for a club setting or rave, but with the way 2020 is looking, it might just be the stay-at-home club banger of the year. M.I.A.’s latest release was “OHMNI 202091,” which dropped just as much of the world was shutting down in March. Before that, her last full body of work was her 2016 project AIM. Back in July, we saluted the 10th anniversary o...
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Gets Epic First Trailer: Watch
At long last, we have our first real look at the world of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. After much teasing and deliberation, Warner Bros. has let loose the first trailer for its star-studded epic in anticipation of its December 18th release. The trailer came packaged with a first look featuring the cast and crew that was hosted by uber fan Stephen Colbert. As you’ll see, Villeneuve has done his homework. The imagination within Frank Herbert’s iconic 1965 novel is on full display, and it appears the filmmaker may even surpass the creative heights he reached with 2017’s Blade Runner 2049. Everyone looks spectacular too, particularly Timothée Chalamet as Prince Paul Atreides. Villeneuve isn’t one to waste his star power, and it’s clear even now that this A-list cast will certainly add vivid s...
Aesop Rock Announces New Album Spirit World Field Guide, Shares “The Gates”: Stream
Beloved Portland MC Aesop Rock has announced a new album called Spirit World Field Guide, due out November 13th. The forthcoming project marks Aesop Rock’s first solo LP since 2016’s The Impossible Kid, and follows his 2019 collaborative record with Tobacco as Malibu Ken. Notably, Spirit World Field Guide has no listed featured rappers among its 21 tracks, meaning this is an entirely independent affair. Fans of the famously wordy hip-hop artist, rejoice! According to a statement, Spirit World Field Guide is meant to be something of a concept album, “a guide to an upside-down world illustrated across 21 insightful chapters.” It promises to offer “firsthand know-how of the terrain, wildlife, and social customs of our parallel universe, rife with hallucinatory images of ki...
Djo (aka Joe Keery) Unveils New Song “Keep Your Head Up”: Stream
Joe Keery introduced us to his Djo musical moniker last year with his debut album, Twenty Twenty. Today, the Stranger Things actor returns with a new single encouraging you to “Keep Your Head Up”. A funky psych-pop tune that nods to George Clinton, the track aligns Djo with fellow experimental contemporaries like Jacob Collier. A heavy beat with a fat synth drone loop under a cacophony of dancing piano notes, swinging horns, and dazzling electronics in an intoxicating if heady mix. “Got to love yourself/ Go ahead touch yourself,” Keery sings on the opening verse. “Take that time alone before your heart belongs to someone else.” Take a listen via the “Keep Your Head Up” visualizer below. Editors’ Picks Keery will join The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne today (Wednesday, September 9...
The Walking Dead to End with Season 11
After more than a decade, The Walking Dead is finally ready to rest. As Deadline and EW note, the long-running horror series will come to an end in 2022 after an expanded 11th season. But just as one zombie falls only to be replaced by another, so does a new spinoff of The Walking Dead stumble on in its place. The new untitled series will star Norman Reedus‘ Daryl and Melissa McBride’s Carol, and is expected to debut in 2023. The coronavirus pandemic had already interrupted production on Season 10, pushing the season finale back to October 4th. But the wait will be worth it for devoted Deadheads, as Season 10 will be expanded with six additional bonus episodes. As if that weren’t enough, Season 11 comes packed with 24 undead entertainments. For those not counting along ...
