U.D.O. Releases Music Video For New Single ‘Prophecy’
U.D.O., the band led by former ACCEPT frontman Udo Dirkschneider, will release its new album “Game Over”, on October 22 via AFM Records. The official music video for the disc’s third single, “Prophecy”, can be seen below. Not one for embellishment. Dirkschneider strikes a sour note on “Game Over”. If mankind does not rethink several aspects, it may have fatal consequences. For example, “Kids And Guns” is about the increased gun sales and little regulation in the gun industry in the USA, which also leads to higher rates of child or adolescent gun violence. Track listing: 01. Fear Detector 02. Holy Invaders 03. Prophecy 04. Empty Eyes 05. I See Red 06. Metal Never Dies 07. Kids And Guns 08. Like A Beast 09. Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye 1...

SEPULTURA’s ANDREAS KISSER Reveals His Wife’s Cancer Battle
During an appearance on TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy‘s “GLHF” podcast, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser spoke about how the pandemic has affected him in his personal life and the fundamental lessons he has learned in the COVID-19 year. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I don’t remember the last time I spent so much time sleeping on the same bed [laughs] for a year and a half and having this type of routine as a husband, as a father, as a son, as a friend; I never had that for many, many, many years. And it was really hard to re-adapt or to reconnect with this other ‘me.’ It’s me, but I never used that me [laughs] in the sense that I was complaining, ‘Oh, I don’t have time to study,’ ‘I don’t have ti...

Can The Floribama Family Leave Behind Their ‘Petty Bullsh*t’?
The MTV Floribama Shore fam has returned to their Southern roots. But is the familiar territory — plus a few farm animals — enough to keep the peace this time around? During tonight’s season premiere, the roommates made their way to Athens, Greece Georgia for a stay at a fancy resort house (resident goats included). The crew opted to cast aside any unresolved issues after COVID and quarantine cut their Lake Havasu vacation short last season. Everyone — even Aimee’s new pet pig, Princess Goddess Piggy Tutor May Massengill Hall Johnson — seemed ready for a fresh start. “We kind of left everything scattered and scrambled, you know, like a Waffle House omelet,” Codi said. “I think this vacation could be a clean slate for everyone.&#...
Bop Shop: Songs From Snail Mail, Wonho, Tems, And More
If anyone can get a K-pop stan to even remotely care about sports, it’s Wonho in a football uniform. His new single “Blue,” the title track of his sophomore mini-album Blue Letter, displays the soloist in a completely new light, both sonically and visually. As the start of his new era, “Blue” explores happier, more optimistic themes compared to the darker concepts he explored in his past few releases. “We are young, we are dumb, we’ll just party all night long,” he sings, representing an extremely different state of mind. Accompanied by a lighthearted, campy, sports-themed music video, Wonho turns over a new leaf and enters this comeback with joy, spirit, and confidence. —Sarina Bhutani You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Lil Nas X’s Montero Has A Song For Every Mood
Listen to it when you’re feeling: anxious. Key lyric: “Hope my little bit of hope don’t fade away / I’ve been living on an island made from fate / Can’t go running back to home, I can’t facе her face” By this point, Nas X has established how he has at times destructively internalized doubt, and the effects of that persist here (“Could I be wrong? Was everybody right about me? / Scary things in my head”). Dark, alternative-leaning “Tales of Dominica,” yet again tag-teamed by Fedi and Take a Daytrip, finds Nas X “living in my lowest, it’s safe to say,” but not in the literal sense. From the outside looking in, he’s at his highest. The problem is that he’s terrified of waking up to find it all gone, to be dumped back into the hollowness he grew up in. This song takes a...

Hip-Hop stars Nas and Pusha T are among the many names who have now become investors in the Audius, a music streaming startup that Rolling Stone describes as a rival to Spotify. If the idea sounds somewhat familiar to you, that’s because it is. The last time we saw music artists and other big names in the music industry come together like this was for Tidal, which JAY-Z owned before selling it to Jack Dorsey’s Square. The spectacle saw other artists like Beyoncé, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, and other investors join the ambitious venture. But, there is a significant difference when it comes to this ...
