Zakk Wylde Recreates Black Sabbath’s Debut LP on Upcoming Zakk Sabbath Album Vertigo
Zakk Wylde is taking his love of all things Black Sabbath to the extreme by recreating the iconic metal act’s debut album with his tribute act Zakk Sabbath. The LP, titled Vertigo, is set to arrive September 4th. In anticipation, Zakk Sabbath have shared their version of the song “Black Sabbath”. Named after Black Sabbath’s old record label, Vertigo features the exact tracklist of Sabbath’s 1970 debut, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. In addition to Wylde, Zakk Sabbath features bassist Blasko (who plays with Wylde in Ozzy Osbourne’s solo band) and drummer Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age, Danzig). “We recorded a live EP and were wondering what we could do next as a cover band, so the 50th album anniversary came just at the right time”, explained Blasko of Zak...
Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith Unveils Upgrade to His Signature Jackson Guitars
Jackson has brought key updates to Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith’s new San Dimas SD and SDM signature models. The physical demands of Smith’s fast and melodic fretwork in Iron Maiden forced Jackson to outfit the signature San Dimas models with a bevy of customizations and mods. Each took into account Smith’s style of playing and even Iron Maiden’s “relentless touring regimen.” The guitar is not only customized to Smith’s technical abilities, but his lifestyle as a busy, traveling musician. Both the SD and SDM models tout lightweight alder bodies and bolt-on maple necks, which feature a hand-rubbed urethane back finish that looks decadent and makes for fluid playability. The neck is also supported by a pair of graphite-reinforcement truss rods that “refuse to budge, no matter the envir...
Cloud Nothings Surprise Releasing New Album The Black Hole Understands
Surprise! Cloud Nothings have announced a new album called The Black Hole Understands, and they’re releasing it in full tomorrow via Bandcamp. The Black Hole Understands is a 10-song full-length that was written and recorded remotely while self-isolating during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic, reports Pitchfork. A 25% cut of the proceeds will be donated to Play on Philly in Philadelphia and Rainey Institute in Cleveland, both of which provide music and arts education to communities that don’t have easy access to such in their respective local areas. “It’s a quarantine album, so like… not actually recorded live,” frontperson Dylan Baldi tweeted. “I’m playing instruments and singing, Jayson is playing drums. It’s poppy and also kind of sad, which is more or less my state of mind....
Only a Third of Americans Want to Return to Movie Theaters in 2020: Survey
While Hollywood is adamant on getting theaters re-opened, Americans don’t exactly share that sentiment. According to a new poll conducted by The Hollywood Reporter, only a third of Americans say they’d go see a movie in 2020. The publication, in conjunction with global data intelligence company Morning Consult, surveyed 2,200 people from June 26th to June 29th. Ultimately, their findings reveal a country that’s much too hesitant on returning to theaters. As the report indicates, 65% of Americans are “very unlikely” to return to theaters immediately with 35% writing off the experience altogether in 2020. In fact, 19% wouldn’t change their minds even if masks are required. However, half of those Americans say they would return within the first few months of 2021. And not surprisingly, t...
Hear Soccer Mommy’s Spacey Cover of the Cars’ ‘Drive’
Soccer Mommy adds a psychedelic touch to the Cars’ “Drive” with her new cover of the 1984 song. The recording, which caps off the Soccer Mommy & Friends Singles Series, finds Sophie Allison’s voice swimming over atmospheric, droning guitars and muted electronics. The flip-side of the track, available to stream at Bandcamp, is SASAMI’s acoustic rendition of System of a Down’s “Toxicity.” The net profits from the series will benefit Oxfam’s COVID-19 relief fund and National Bail Out, fighting both the coronavirus and police brutality/systemic racism. An anonymous Oxfam donor will match each dollar raised up to $5,000. “I’m really glad to get to release this cover of ‘Drive,’” Allison said in a statement. “It’s a song I’ve loved for a long time that I started covering pretty recentl...

Gucci Mane Apologizes For Calling His Record Label “Racist”
Source: Prince WIlliams / Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Just a few weeks after Gucci Mane expressed his displeasure with his label, Atlantic Records, and suggested that the staff’s racism was pushing him out the door, the “Coca Coca” rapper has changed his tune and is walking back his controversial comments. After saying his label staff were “crackers police racist” and asked fans whether or not he should go the independent route, Gucci took to Twitter today to not only announce he wasn’t leaving Atlantic Records, but also apologized for slandering (or calling out?) anyone working in their offices.

Racist President Trump Flips His Lacefront Over Black Lives Matter Street Painting
Source: NurPhoto / Getty President Donald Trump has a nationwide pandemic and a crumbling economy on his hands during an election year, but he’s focusing on matters that show his true colors. Via Twitter, the former business mogul went on a covertly racist rant and misframed the Black Lives Matter movement after railing against the painting of the slogan on a New York street. We won’t dignify President Trump’s rant by linking to the tweet but since he never deletes the trash he posts, we’ll share it below. The rant was in response to a Black Lives Matter sign to be painted alongside Fifth Avenue near Trump Plaza, prompting the following on Wednesday (July 1). From Trump’s Twitter: NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, ye...
