TESTAMENT, EXODUS And DEATH ANGEL: U.S. Leg Of ‘The Bay Strikes Back Tour’ Postponed To April/May 2022
The North American leg of “The Bay Strikes Back Tour” featuring TESTAMENT, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL has been postponed to 2022. “We were really on the fence with this decision,” says TESTAMENT guitarist Eric Peterson. “But seeing other bands make it through with a few mild cases and other bigger bands just canceling their entire tours, we felt it is in our best interest to postpone these shows to ’22.” Adds TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick: “It gives none of us any pleasure to be the bearers of bad news yet again, but here we are. Although ‘Bay Strikes Back’ is a top tour package for theaters, the reality is this: It can’t afford to take the risks that top-grossing larger venue tours have been taking. The type of disruptions KISS a...
TRIVIUM Shares ‘The Phalanx’ Video
Orlando, Florida-based metallers TRIVIUM have shared the music video for their new single “The Phalanx”. Check it out below. “‘The Phalanx’ was like an old muscle car sitting in the driveway with no engine,” says bassist Paolo Gregoletto about the song’s unique evolution and origin story. “It was a demo from ‘Shogun’ that had the middle section removed for another song (‘Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis’), demoed again on ‘Silence In The Snow’ but ultimately scrapped, and now it has found its home on the new album. Once we knew the album was going in a more epic, proggy direction, I immediately thought of the song and pitched the idea to the others. With a few minor changes to some chorus parts, a brand mi...

With his blend of alternative and indie rock, the musician has garnered accolades.

Not too shabby, but better days are definitely on the way for the rising Himself. Early in 2020, Sam Himself (born Sam Koechlin) went back to Europe to play a few shows with Anna Rossinelli and just a few days later, the pandemic and lockdown hit, keeping him in Europe. So what did he do? Create. Sam Himself hunkered down in a Swiss stud...

Grimes Shares New Single “Love” After Split With Elon Musk
Grimes has shared a new song called “Love” via her Instagram account. In the slow-motion video, posted on September 30, the singer dances up close to the camera and wields a lightsaber as the single plays in the background. “Nobody understands because everything they hate is everything I love,” she sings in the audio.

Katy B Announces New EP Peace and Offerings, Shares “Open Wound”: Stream
Back in August, Katy B released “Under My Skin,” her first new music in five years, and today, she’s confirmed a full-fledged comeback. The electro-pop artist has announced a new EP called Peace and Offerings, due out October 29th. As another preview, Katy B has shared the single “Open Wound,” which features R&B singer Jaz Karis. While she staked her claim in the UK’s electronic scene with glossy, heavy production in the 2010s, Peace and Offerings takes a chill pill, instead recalling wine nights at home with close friends. With her usual night-out settings on pause, Katy was able to take a more introspective route: “The ‘Peace’ is me taking myself away and having peace of mind and the ‘Offerings’ are the songs, the parts of myself I’m giving away,” she said in a statement. “...
