TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy spoke to “The Cassius Morris Show” about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2020’s “Titans Of Creation” album.

Especially since Dave [Lombardo, drums] is back. I think Dave, when we wrote ‘The Gathering’ [1999] with him, him and Eric just jammed. Eric used to really work out the drums on a drum machine and then give it to a drummer to kind of interpret it and make it [their] own, where when we wrote that record with Dave, Dave was just, like, ‘Just play, dude. Just jam.R...

Tyga on Friday shared an introspective new track, titled “Lifetime,” along with an accompanying music video, which sees the 32-year-old artist playing pool in a high-rise building while wearing an all-red adidas tracksuit. “Gotta manifest, gotta be best friends/Gotta be movin’ P, gotta tap in,” he raps. “Baby, you deserve better and I’m not him/But I know when we happy, we be locked in/And it’s some shit I just comprehend/Maybe I deserve better and you not her.” The visual bounces back and forth between shots of the “Make It Nasty” rapper on his phone and scenes of a mysterious love interest, who poses by a floor-to-ceiling window and lounges in a luxurious bed, before the video’s completion. “Reflectin’ life in real time,” he raps in the track’s outro, before asking, “Can I be with o...

After running out of anime to watch together, YouTuber Oceaniz asked his girlfriend Laura if she would be up to watch Naruto. Despite being one of Oceaniz’s favorite series, the YouTuber didn’t want to subject her to all 720 episodes of the iconic anime. Starting back in January and completed around mid-March, Oceaniz took it upon himself to create “Oceaniz’s Naruto: The Ocean Cut.” The version created in Adobe Premiere cut out unnecessary flashbacks and filler that stretched the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden story to its massive length. In a video titled “I Re-Edited ALL of Naruto for my Girlfriend,” Oceaniz noted that he had always wanted to create the abridged cut and adamantly noted that he believes in the English dubs. The creation of the cut saw around three to six episodes cut into 50...
Daniel Radcliffe recently shared that he is interested in doing superhero films, thought he is waiting for the right opportunity to come and “not rushing” into it. In a conversation with Insider to promote his new film The Lost City starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, he also spoke about how he will be a “natural fit” for the role of Spider-Man. On the red carpet of SXSW he said, “The one I would be a natural fit for has now been done by three very good actors.

Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Holland have all played different versions of Spider-Man between 2002 a...
