MACHINE HEAD’s Upcoming Album Is ‘Amazing’, Says Guitarist VOGG
Polish guitarist Wacław “Vogg” Kiełtyka (DECAPITATED), who joined MACHINE HEAD‘s touring lineup prior to the launch of the band’s “Burn My Eyes” 25th-anniversary tour in late 2019, spoke to Metal 101 about his experience playing with the Robb Flynn-fronted outfit so far. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Since more than two years right now, I’ve become a member of the MACHINE HEAD. It was just great to join the band and it feels amazing to be part of that. I did two tours with them — a European tour and touring the United States — and it was amazing; it was a great experience. “MACHINE HEAD have a new album ready, which makes me also really happy about feeling that I’m a part of the album,” he continued. “...

NAPALM DEATH Members Got COVID-19 At End Of Fall 2021 U.S. Tour: ‘That Was Rough, To Say The Least,’ Says BARNEY GREENWAY
During an appearance on the latest episode of “The MetalSucks Podcast”, vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway of British grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH spoke about what it was like for him and his bandmates to complete their first pandemic-era U.S. tour last fall as the support act for GWAR. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The tour itself was great, but you had to be kind of a little bit vigilant to try as best you could to not be mixing with too many people who you didn’t know — for obvious reasons at this point in time. Which is completely alien to my way of doing things usually, but, of course, we completely understood why that needed to be the case. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop all of us from getting COVID right at the end of the tou...
Black Country, New Road: Ants From Up There
The Concorde jet: aeronautical disgrace, financial boondoggle, multinational embarrassment. Hell of a metaphor, though. Isaac Wood returns to it repeatedly throughout Black Country, New Road’s second album, Ants From Up There, most pointedly on the thematic centerpiece that bears its name. “I was made to love you, can’t you tell?” Wood pleads as “Concorde” reaches a dizzying altitude, desperately embodying a romantic sunk cost fallacy, throwing good love after bad. Until about a week ago, Ants From Up There could be heard as a classic breakup album. All seven members of the London band amplify the dynamics of Wood’s every convulsion, from giddy infatuation to paralyzing despair, as he desperately sacrifices his serenity for a tragic and heroic cause. But on January 31, the band announced, ...

Pusha T‘s new song “Diet Coke,” produced by Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and 88-Keys, is out now. The track, which dropped at midnight Tuesday (Feb. 8), comes after Pusha T and his manager Steven Victor teased it early Monday.

“Cherry Picking Data”: How Joe Rogan’s Infamous Interview with Robert Malone Spread Misinformation
Neil Young may have lit the match that sparked an exodus from Spotify, but Joe Rogan poured the gas himself with a now-infamous interview with Dr. Robert Malone. That episode of The Joe Rogan Experience prompted hundreds of scientists and healthcare professionals to chastise Spotify for hosting “mass-misinformation events,” and seemingly served as the immediate inspiration for Young’s decision to leave the platform. Now, the fact-checking podcast Science Vs has interviewed some of the scientists doing research that Malone cited in the interview, going back to the source to demonstrate that he “cherry picked the data” to spread misinformation to millions. Malone has claimed to be an expert on the COVID-19 vaccines, and he did perform some of the foundational experiments ...
