Kanye West Admits Presidential Campaign Aims to Hurt Biden’s Prospects
And there you have it. After weeks of speculation, Kanye West finally admitted that throwing his name (and probably reputation) into the presidential campaign was an attempt to hurt presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s chances at winning. “I’m not denying it; I just told you,” West said in a text (yes, really) interview with Forbes, which recently spoke with West about a wide range of issues — including his life as an anti-vaxxer and experience with COVID-19. Apparently, he is now. In a tweet later on Thursday evening, West contradicted his own statement, though it is vague enough to make one wonder what he’s referring to. THE GOAL IS TO WIN — ye (@kanyewest) August 7, 2020 Asked by the publication if he knew that it wasn’t possible th...
NGHTMRE Confirms New Zeds Dead Collaboration On the Way
Is this the collab Zeds Dead dropped during their EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon set? Back in September 2016, NGHTMRE and Zeds Dead joined forces with GG Magree for the dazzling “Frontlines,” dropping a thunderous future bass anthem that dominated the festival circuit at the time (RIP, festivals). Fast forward to August 5th, 2020, when NGHTMRE took to Twitter with an atomic bomb of an announcement that he has finished a new collaboration with Zeds Dead. In a succinct yet far from ambiguous tweet, the trap and bass sage confirmed the news for fans, writing, “New collab with [Zeds Dead] finished.” NGHTMRE and Zeds Dead’s bass music compatriots are already taking notice. At the time of writing, neither artist has confirmed a release date or title of the t...
Famed DJ Erick Morillo Arrested and Charged with Sexual Battery
Detectives said the incident took place in Morillo’s Miami Beach home in December 2019. Famed international DJ Erick Morillo has been arrested and charged with sexual battery on a woman in connection to a December 2019 incident. According to a report by Miami ABC affiliate WPLG Local 10, the incident took place in Morillo’s Miami Beach home. Detectives say that Morillo, 49, and his accuser were both DJing at a private party on Star Island before going to Morillo’s home for drinks along with another woman. According to the police report, the victim told detectives that Morillo “made several advances towards her, some sexual in nature, but she refused all of his attempts.” She also said that she was intoxicated, and after finding a room inside Morillo&#...
Generation Antichrist – ONSLAUGHT
It really doesn’t matter how many mainstream chatterers want metal to “move forward”: subgenres as resilient as thrash will never disappear or lose their relevance, particularly when so many of its original progenitors are still releasing albums as monstrous as this. ONSLAUGHT have already amassed a near-immaculate catalogue. If you don’t regularly injure yourself to 1985’s “Power from Hell” or ’86’s “The Force”, then you’re simply not doing thrash (or indeed black) metal properly. Additionally, the band’s post-reformation releases (“Killing Peace”, “Sounds of Violence” and “VI”), have each been world-class demonstrations of timeless brutality. Even the oft-maligned “In S...
PAUL STANLEY Says Not Voting For One Of Two ‘Viable’ Candidates In Upcoming U.S. Presidential Election Is Akin To Throwing Your Vote Away
Paul Stanley says that voting for a third, no-hope candidate in the upcoming presidential election is akin to throwing your vote away. Earlier today, the KISS frontman shared a New York Daily News article from self-proclaimed “staunch conservative” S.E. Cupp in which she wrote she is “very seriously considering voting for Joe Biden,” rather than writing someone in, as she did in 2016, but that her choice hinges on whom the presumptive Democratic nominee picks as his running mate. Stanley wrote in a tweet: “There are TWO ‘viable’ candidates, one of which will be our president for the coming 4 years. Why would ANYONE waste a vote that so many have fought for only to throw it away making a ‘statement’ that no one will hear? Make a vote tha...
GUNS N’ ROSES’ Cover Of ‘Live And Let Die’ Played Before TRUMP’s Speech In Ohio
GUNS N’ ROSES‘ rendition of “Live And Let Die” was played on loudspeakers earlier today (Thursday, August 6) before President Donald Trump‘s scheduled speech at the Whirlpool Corp.’s washing machine manufacturing plant in Clyde, Ohio. A reporter covering the event tweeted video of the GUNS N’ ROSES version of the WINGS track blaring on the live feed. The Intercept writer Robert Mackey wrote in an accompanying message: “The White House is playing “Live And Let Die” before Trump‘s arrival at a thinly disguised campaign event in Ohio that the state’s governor cannot attend because he just came down with Covid-19, the disease that killed over 1,400 Americans yesterday.” Earlier today, Ohio governor Mike DeWine tested...
TOMMY KAREVIK Says Next KAMELOT Album Will Be ‘Killer’
In a new interview with FaceCulture, Tommy Karevik spoke about KAMELOT‘s upcoming DVD and Blu-ray, “I Am The Empire – Live From The 013”, as well as the band’s plans for the follow-up to 2018’s “The Shadow Theory” album. The singer said (see video below): “We are in a very fortunate position. We have a live DVD coming out in a time when people need live music. So the second-best thing, instead of going to a show, would be to have a live DVD of your favorite band. So we’re lucky that we planned it this way, so now when we release an album, we’ve got some momentum. “We’re working on the new album as we speak, and we have a ton of ideas [for the record], which I think is gonna be killer,” he revealed. “I...
Midnight Oil Release First New Song in 17 Years
Almost exactly 33 years after Midnight Oil first struck it big with “Beds Are Burning,” they’re back with their first song in 17 years. After announcing their upcoming mini-LP, The Makarrata Project, “Gadigal Land” is the first sampling of what fans can expect from the October release. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Midnight Oil tune without some politically-charged activism, so the new track comes with a heavy message from the band. “We’ve always been happy to lend our voice to those who call for racial justice, but it really feels like we’ve reached a tipping point,” the band said in a statement. “We urge the federal government to heed the messages in the Uluru Statement From The Heart and act accordingly. Hopefully this song and ‘...
Ava Max Calls on Lauv & Saweetie for Empowering ‘Kings & Queens, Pt. 2′ Remix
Back in March, Ava Max unveiled her powerful anthem for the queens, “Kings & Queens” as the fifth single off her upcoming album, Heaven & Hell. But on Thursday (Aug. 6) the singer called on her fellow stars Lauv and Saweetie for a fiery remix. “Kings & Queens, Pt. 2″ features a brand new second verse courtesy of Lauv, taking on the male perspective in a relationship with a strong, independent woman. “She’s the queen and I’m lucky to get close to the throne/ I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy, but she’s taking me home / No damsel in distress, don’t need to save her / She’s a goddess, I would never try to change her,” he sings. {“nid”:”9334984″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Watch Ava Max Re...
Neumos in Seattle, in a Pandemic: It Can Cost a Venue $60,000 a Month to Be Closed

‘Normal People’ Actor Paul Mescal Is an Apologetic, Drunk, Hot Mess in The Rolling Stones’ ‘Scarlet’ Video
The Rolling Stones enlisted Emmy-nominated actor Paul Mescal from Hulu’s Normal People for their latest music video “Scarlet” out today (Aug. 6). Directing duo Us, comprised of Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor, filmed the clip while following social distance guidelines at London’s iconic Claridge’s hotel. A dapper Mescal drunkenly dances around his hotel room and lobby while recording an apology video to Scarlet, the titular love interest, and mouthing the lyrics of the legendary U.K. rockers’ previously unreleased track. The 24-year-old Irish actor received his first-ever Emmy nomination this year for outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie for his role as Connell in the Hulu drama TV series Normal People. “Scarlet,” featuring instrumenta...
