Players Battle Giant Alpha Pokémon in New ‘Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ Trailer
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has received yet another trailer ahead of its release this Friday. Set in the sprawling Hisui region, players will join Galaxy Expedition Team’s Survey Corps to research Pokémon as they roam free in their natural habitats. The two-minute video highlights players exploring the different landscapes of the region, from a sunny beach to deep within the mountains.

There’s also the chance that alphas will drop rare items when defeated in battle. “You may have met Dartrix, Quilava, and Dewott in your other adventures,” the video reads. “But you’ve never encountered th...

Earl Sweatshirt Poetically Reckons With The Turbulent State Of The World Via ‘SICK!’ Album [Review]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NBC / Getty Earl Sweatshirt never seems overly concerned with perfection or typified standards of modern-day Hip-Hop music, although his newest project is a refined effort. As he’s done previously via his audio releases, the California native’s latest studio album SICK! points to a personal and poetical reckoning of the state of the world that breaks through the insular themes of his past. Tan Cressida, the label started by Earl Sweatshirt, continues its Warner Bros Records partnership with SICK!, the third released under this union that follows the excellent Feet Of Clay drop and the subsequent deluxe release. SICK! sonically moves in a straighter line than Feet Of Clay, and Sweatshirt’s pen shows renewed clarity along with loads of abstract though...

Ex-ICED EARTH Singer MATT BARLOW Says He Has Spoken To JON SCHAFFER: ‘He’s Okay’
Former ICED EARTH frontman Matt Barlow says that Jon Schaffer is doing “okay,” more than one year after he was arrested for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot. The 50-year-old singer, who is married to Schaffer‘s sister, touched upon his current relationship with ICED EARTH‘s founder, songwriter, guitarist and producer while doing press for his ASHES OF ARES project. Asked by Greece’s “TV War” if he has talked to Jon in the 12 months since Schaffer was taken into federal custody, Matt said: “I have spoken to Jon, but we don’t talk about that kind of stuff. He’s okay. I mean, he’s my brother-in-law.” ICED EARTH played its final show with Barlow at the 2011 edition of the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany. Barlo...
Inviolate – STEVE VAI
RATING: 7.5/10 Fans of virtuoso shred will check out the new STEVE VAI album regardless of anything written in a review. Taking into consideration his extraordinary resume and fine catalogue of studio albums, that is just as it should be. Vai is a master beyond dispute, and while there is always the risk that a new record by a noted shred-god will be heard primarily by other guitarists, “Inviolate” nonchalantly bucks that trend by being both hugely accessible and coolly adventurous. In much the same way that past triumphs like 1990’s seminal “Passion And Warfare” and 1993’s “Sex & Religion” transcended guitar nerdiness and drew in a much broader audience, Vai‘s tenth full-length as a solo artist is incredibly easy to absorb and inte...
MUDVAYNE’s CHAD GRAY Says He Had COVID-19 During Band’s First Reunion Show: ‘I Didn’t Know I Had It’ At The Time
MUDVAYNE singer Chad Gray has revealed that he had COVID-19 on stage while performing with his bandmates at their first show in 12 years, which took place last September at the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival in Mansfield, Ohio. Speaking to Danny Wimmer Presents at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida this past November, Gray said that he never lost his senses of taste and smell while battling the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. “I think on a level — it’s so hard to say I think I had ‘COVID Lite’ but I think I had COVID Lite,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET. “But, dude, it fucking wiped me out. “I had it on stage… The good thing is I didn’t know I had it at [Inkcarceration]. [So] I ...
Lucy Liu to Star in TV Adaptation of Stephen King’s Later
Another Stephen King TV adaptation is on the way. As Deadline reports, Blumhouse Television is set to develop a limited series based on King’s 2021 novel Later, with Lucy Liu signed on as the star. Published last March, Later centers on Tia, a literary agent, and her son, Jamie, who has the ability to talk to the dead. When Tia’s star client suddenly dies before finishing his latest book, Tia fears her agency will go bankrupt, so Jamie contacts the deceased author and feeds the plot to Tia, who writes and publishes the story herself under his name. Of course, contacting the underworld is not without its consequences — especially when Tia’s girlfriend is an NYPD detective who becomes privy to Jamie’s powers. True Blood producer Raelle Tucker created the adaptation of Later and wro...
