DISTURBED frontman David Draiman says that he is “dying” to begin work on material for the band’s next studio album. Draiman, who resides in Hawaii with his wife and their son, discussed DISTURBED‘s plans for the follow-up to 2018’s “Evolution” album while promoting the band’s November 4 show in Gary, Indiana. “I’m very, very much loking forward to this next run because in between the Hard Rock dates and our festival [Welcome To Rockville] that we’re playing in Daytona Beach [on November 13], we plan to kind of start writing again,” he told Chicago’s Rock 95.5 radio station (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).

Lewis Black, Louis C.K. & More Potential Best Comedy Album Nominees at 2022 Grammys
Black and C.K., both two-time winners in the category, are among the likely nominees. Black, who won for The Carnegie Hall Performance (2006) and Stark Raving Black (2010), is entered this year with Thanks for Risking Your Life. C.K., who won for Hilarious (2011) and Live at Madison Square Garden (2015), is entered for Sincerely Louis C.K. C.K. is a six-time Emmy winner for comedy and variety writing.

This will be a test of voters’ current attitudes about Louis C.K, who in 2017 admitted to several incidents of sexual misconduct, resulting in significant professional repercussions. C.K.’s most recent Grammy nomination was i...
Latest Astroworld Lawsuit Filed by Family of 9-Year-Old Boy ‘Trampled’ at Festival
“This young child and his family will face life-altering trauma from this day forward, a reality that nobody expects when they buy concert tickets,” said Benjamin Crump, the family’s attorney, in a statement. “Concerts and music festivals such as this are meant to be a safe place for people of all ages to enjoy music in a controlled environment. None of that was true about the Astroworld Festival.” In addition to Scott, the lawsuit also named promotors Live Nation and ScoreMore as defendants, as well as many others involved in planning and operating Astroworld. Friday’s deadly crush occurred during the first night of a two-day festival attended by more than 50,000 people at Houston’s NRG Park stadium complex. Witnesses report thousands of fans pressing toward the stage, causing a panicked ...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Really Tried To Big Up The Nation of Islam For Being Anti-Vaxxers Knowing She’s An Islamophobe, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pete Marovich / Getty White conservatives are undoubtedly the most manipulative people on this here Earth. Not only have they convinced themselves and their constituents that their bigotry and anti-intellectualism are actually just signs of them being “free thinkers”—despite the fact that they’re parroting narratives that have been regurgitated ad nauseam—but they even show that they’re willing to promote groups they’ve been bigoted against in the past, so long as said groups agree with their current talking points. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene—the walking swastika who somehow cartwheeled her way into a legislative position—is, well, a lot of things, but certainly Islamaphobic, allegedly.

YouTuber Posts & Deletes Leaked Images Of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Marvel / Marvel Spider-Man: No Way Home will be the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe pipeline when it releases next month, and the expectations are extremely high. A YouTube personality apparently posted and deleted leaked images from the film that seemingly confirms that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be joined by the other actors who played the character before him. Canadian YouTuber John Campea shared a watermarked pair of images that showed Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan, and Holland’s Peter Parker sitting across from a table. In the middle of them was Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer by day and superpowered crimefighter at night, Daredevil. Why this is significant is that Cox’s Daredevil program was part of a slate of Netflix ...
HHW Gaming: Epic Straight Up Removes Travis Scott’s Emote From ‘Fortnite’ Item Shop
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Neilson Barnard / Getty Travis Scott is feeling the fallout from the tragic events at his Astroworld music festival. Travis Scott reportedly is “too distraught” to headline the Day N Vegas festival, gave those who attended the Astroworld festival full refunds, and was slapped with a lawsuit despite announcing he would pay for the funeral costs of the eight people who died. Now, his existence from Fortnite is being scrubbed from the highly-addictive game. Per The Verge, via a Eurogamer report, the “Out West” emote that features a snippet of Travis Scott’s song of the same name was removed from the Fortnite Item Shop by the game’s developer. At the time, the entire Item Shop was taken down without any explanation before Fortnite put out a tweet acknowledgin...
Radiohead Took Notes From Aphex Twin and Massive Attack for New Album, “Kid A Mnesia”: Listen
With the release of their Kid A Mnesia album, Radiohead indulge in an alternate version of music history. When the band released the forward-thinking Kid A in 2000 and then Amnesiac, just eight months later, the public immediately began to draw a connection between the two. As Paste points out, the prevailing school of thought was to consider Amnesiac an extension of Kid A—a place for the tracks that were originally left on the cutting room floor. Radiohead fought this interpretation, as they specifically wanted to rebuke the trend of releasing a double album. Now, decades later, the iconic band are giving fans the box set they wanted, and then some. The combined Kid A Mnesia album, which includes a dozen previously elusive ext...
