Hell Will Come For Us All – AVERSIONS CROWN
RATING: 8/10 Despite returning to an increasingly crowded and diverse deathcore marketplace, AVERSIONS CROWN still sound determined to crush everything in their path. Although routinely overshadowed by lesser bands, the Australians’ distinctive take on a well-worn formula has provided this metallic substrain with some of its most murderous moments over the last decade. Like fellow countrymen THY ART IS MURDER, the Brisbane quartet have far more old-school death metal lurking in their musical DNA than first impressions might suggest, but it’s their nurturing of deathcore’s dramatic instincts and subversive potential that ensures that “Hell Will Come For Us All” is another patently superior piece of work. If you like to listen to metal that exerts bruising physi...

Australia’s Concert Industry Introduces $345 Million COVID-19 Rebuilding Plan
Live Performance Australia, a prominent body representing promoters, event producers, theatres, concert venues, performing arts centres, arts and music festivals, and more, have formulated an AUD $345 million rebuilding proposal for the live entertainment industry. In 2018, Australia’s concert industry was worth USD $1.4 billion in ticket sales alone. However, according to a report from Digital Music News, the Australian music sector has lost AUD $340 million this year following sweeping cancellations in the wake of COVID-19. Live Performance Australia’s two-year “COVID-19: Live Performance Industry Rebuild & Recovery Package” poses that a similar figure will need to be disbursed in its goal to reopen Australia’s live concert industry, which...
Take a Look Inside This Socially-Distant, Seated Techno Show in The Netherlands
While the days of loud, packed dancefloors are behind us for the time being, artists and venues have begun to get creative with how they deliver authentic live music experiences to fans. Many have chosen to go digital with livestreamed events, but they can only replicate the experience so much. Doornroosje in The Netherlands decided to take things a step further and host a physical, socially-distant show last weekend. Due to the country only allowing thirty patrons inside a bar or venue at a time, that was the number of concertgoers in attendance at the event. Attendees were required to remain seated during the performances and each chair was spaced about five feet apart. Below are some pictures and videos from the social distancing-compliant techno night. As you can see, although th...
Carnage Pays Tribute to George Floyd at Drive-In Rave with Collective Moment of Silence
At his recent “Road Rave” drive-in concert in Chandler, Arizona, Carnage kicked things off by paying tribute to George Floyd, who recently died at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. Calling for a collective moment of silence along with the show’s supporting artists, who joined him on stage, Carnage addressed the crowd at the onset. “Black lives matter, and we need to come together and do this for all the people across the [expletive] country,” he declared in front of hundreds of ravers in their vehicles, who blinked their hazard lights in support. Speaking to TMZ about the show, Carnage waxed poetic about his tribute and what it meant to the Black Lives Matter movement. “First thing I did before I even started my set, I brought out...
deadmau5 Reveals He Has “A Lot of Music in the Pipe” and New Album On the Way
In an interview published today in the Niagara Falls Review, Grammy Award-nominated producer deadmau5 divulged that he has “a lot of music in the pipe” as well as a new album on the horizon. In the wide-ranging interview, deadmau5 also went into detail about how the pandemic has affected his business, label, and upcoming tour. “My whole summer program was set to be like my biggest year,” he said. “We had a record to debut at Coachella, and then the whole house of cards fell down and we were like, ‘Wow, nice timing. You couldn’t wait six months?'” After teasing his stupefying “cube v3″ stage production, deadmau5 was forced to postpone a barnstorming world tour due to COVID-19 concerns. “We actually built t...
R.I.P. Bonnie Pointer, Founding Member of The Pointer Sisters Dies at 69
Bonnie Pointer, of the Grammy Award-winning vocal group The Pointer Sisters, has died at the age of 69. In a statement to TMZ, Anita Pointer confirmed her sister’s passing. “It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of The Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie died this morning. Our family is devastated, on behalf of my siblings and I and the entire Pointer family, we ask for your prayers at this time.” The Pointer Sisters’ origins date back to 1969 when Bonnie and sister June began performing in night clubs under the name Pointers, a Pair.

Following a short stint with Atlanta Records, the group found their stride after sign...
Village People Ask Trump to Stop Playing “Macho Man” and “Y.M.C.A.” at Rallies
The Village People have asked Donald Trump to stop using their music at rallies, particularly legendary gay anthems “Y.M.C.A.” and “Macho Man”, following his public threats to shoot protestors and looters. Earlier this week, the band’s longtime leader, Victor Willis, released a statement saying the President’s recent comments have pushed him to his breaking point, reports Stereogum. “If Trump orders the U.S. military to fire on his own citizens (on U.S. soil), Americans will rise up in such numbers outside of the White House that he might be forced out of office prior to the election. Don’t do it Mr. President!” Willis wrote on his personal Facebook. “And I ask that you no longer use any of my music at your rallies especially “Y.M.C.A.” and “Macho Man.” Sorry, but I can no longer look the ...
Inter Arma Unveil Cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs”: Stream
Inter Arma recently announced a covers EP titled Garbers Days Revisited, and now they’ve unveiled the second single from the forthcoming release: a metallic version of the Nine Inch Nails classic “March of the Pigs”. In a press release, Inter Arma acknowledged that it could be construed that the timing of the single is tied to the current unrest across the nation, where protests have broken out following the death of George Floyd in police custody. In fact, the band actually quietly released the song last week, but didn’t announce it until today. “We released our cover of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘March of the Pigs’ this past Tuesday, but felt it would have been inappropriate to latch onto the outrage we’re all experiencing to promote a cover album, even if by happenstance,” stated the band. ...
#MetallicaMondays: Watch Metallica’s Rain-Soaked 2019 Manchester Show
Metallica’s weekly streaming series #MetallicaMondays continues with the band’s full June 2019 concert at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England. The show was played in the pouring rain, as the band and fans braved the weather for 18 songs, including five from “The Black Album” and four from their latest LP, Hardwired … To Self-Destruct. As they did throughout the tour, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Rob Trujillo paid tribute to a local act, this time performing a portion of The Stone Roses’ “I Wanna Be Adored”. Like all bands, Metallica are currently off the road due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they may start work on a follow-up to Hardwired … To Self-Destruct. During a recent online video chat, drummer Lars Ulrich said that if the concert industry ends up being shut down for six...
