A Hell In Living Flesh – FLAYED DISCIPLE
RATING: 8/10 Blending thrash and death metal has always been a good idea, but currently there seems to be a small upsurge in examples of the form going on. Hooray for that. Returning after a reasonably lengthy hiatus, FLAYED DISCIPLE were always dedicated to a monstrous blurring of subgenre boundaries, and now they sound more militant about the whole thing than ever. “A Hell In Living Flesh” is absolutely fucking vicious, and casually outstrips the band’s 2012 “Death Hammer” debut by virtue of being at least eight times more intense. As formulas go, FLAYED DISCIPLE‘s is not a particularly complex one. “I Am Leviathan” sets the band’s stall out as aggressively as possible: this is thrash metal by design, but death metal in delivery, and ...

Pusha T Speaks on Kanye West and Kid Cudi Feud
Soon after the release of his latest mixtape, It’s Almost Dry, Pusha T sat down with SiriusXM’s Shade45 and discussed in length the feud between Kanye West and Kid Cudi and how it affected his album. King Push divulged about what it is like working with both Ye and Cudi on what appears to be their final collaborative track, “Rock N Roll.” The song garnered a lot of attention since Cudi revealed that this would be the last time he worked with Ye. Push was asked if he thought that their relationship could be repaired and he responded, “I think right now, I’m going to just let them have their space. You couldn’t even imagine the amount of talking I had to do just in regard to getting the record [‘Rock N Roll’] for the album cleared.” Cudi is definitely very strong-willed. He’s sta...

New York Times Documentary Elon Musk’s Crash Course to Examine Tesla Autopilot Deaths
The documentary series The New York Times Presents has announced Elon Musk’s Crash Course, which aims to examine Tesla’s artificial intelligence system Autopilot, and “how Autopilot has been a factor in several deaths and dozens of other accidents that Tesla has not publicly acknowledged.” It premieres May 20th on Hulu and FX.

Fontaines D.C. Powering to U.K. Chart Title With ‘Skinty Fia’
Fontaines D.C. are careening to the U.K. chart summit with Skinty Fia (Partisan), the Irish rock outfit’s third studio album. It’s unlikely any other title will trump the Dublin act. At the halfway point of the chart cycle, Skinty Fia is outselling its nearest rival by four-to-one, with physical sales accounting for over 90% of its chart units, the OCC reports. Fontaines D.C.’s previous albums both cracked the Top 10, though neither reached the summit. Skinty Fia’s 2020’s predecessor A Hero’s Death peaked at No. 2, while the band’s 2019 debut Dogrel reached No. 9. Skinty Fia leads an all-new Top 3 on the Official Chart Update, ahead of Everything Was Beautiful (Bella Union), the ninth studio album from Jason Pierce’s alternative rock band Spiritualized.

‘American Idol’ Contestant Noah Thompson Brings Country to John Mayer Cover: Watch
American Idol has reached the pointy end of the season, when just 10 competitors stay in the game. One of those is Noah Thompson, the teen construction worker for Louisa, Kentucky. On Monday night’s (April 25) Top 10 Live reveal, Thompson delivered the goods with a country-flavored take on John Mayer’s “Heartbreak Warfare.” It was a dramatic night that saw Tristen Gressett eliminated and Lady K saved by the judges. There was no such drama for Thompson. “I’m such a private person,” Thompson told Billboard ahead of the live broadcast. “I think I’m always going to be shy. I’m the guy who stays in his room and does his own thing while everybody else goes out to eat.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Shy or not, Thompson now has fans across A...
