Amazon Music is bringing together the next generation of artists and designers with “The Showroom,” a trio of merch drops from three of the industry’s most exciting names. Collections from Flo Milli, Lucky Daye and Fousheé serve a mission of strengthening the connection between artists and fans by offering pieces that represent the spirit of the stars’ music and personalities. Each artist collaborated with a dedicated designer to translate their distinct sounds and style into apparel that shows off who they are as artists. The result is a series of three merch collections that are as unique as the musician who inspired them. “When we set out to create The Showroom, we wanted to pair artists and designers that had a likeminded approach, knowing this collaboration would lead to unique collec...

In a new interview with Germany’s Rock Antenne, VOLBEAT drummer Jon Larsen was asked if he and his bandmates ever write music with the goal of reaching Number One on the charts. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “No. We’ve never really thought about this stuff, going, ‘Oh, yeah, we need to do something that takes it to Number One or something like that. Of course, there are certain songs when we have done the songs where Michael [Poulsen, VOLBEAT frontman and main songwriter] would say, ‘I think this one is a single for,’ let’s say, ‘the Danish market’ or ‘This could be a single for the U.S. market,’ but it’s not like that we are making the songs to say, ‘Okay, we have to do something so we can m...

RATING: 8/10 Their debut album was widely hailed as a strong contribution to the post-SUFFOCATION world of all-out brutality, and PYREXIA has been a name that commands respect and admiration ever since. Even on their late ’90s experiments, wherein they embraced groove and slower tempos, they sounded considerably more ferocious than most. The course of death metal runs rocky and wild, of course, and only guitarist (and former bassist) Chris Basile remains from the lineup that made 1993’s seminal “Sermon of Mockery”. But as with 2018’s “Unholy Requiem” — the first PYREXIA record to feature guitarist Danny Trapani, bassist Shaun Kennedy and vocalist Jim Beach — the New Yorkers’ sixth full-length is audibly dedicated to the same ethos of total de...
