ROB ZOMBIE Drops Music Video For ‘Shadow Of The Cemetery Man’
Rock icon Rob Zombie has released the official music video for the song “Shadow Of The Cemetery Man”. The track is taken from his seventh studio album, “The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy”, which came out in March 2020 via Nuclear Blast. “The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy” marked Rob‘s first new album in nearly five years. The follow-up to 2016’s “The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser” is a classic Zombie album to its core, with high-energy rages like “The Eternal Struggles Of The Howling Man” and “Get Loose” to heavy-groove thumpers like the aforementioned “Shadow Of The Cemetery Man” and “Shake Your Ass-Smoke Your Grass”.

PÄR SUNDSTRÖM On Why SABATON Is A Self-Managed Band: ‘We Do Things Our Way’
Bassist Pär Sundström of Swedish metallers SABATON spoke to Music Connection about what it’s like for him and his bandmates to exist as a self-managed entity — a rarity among groups operating at their level. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “You start a band because you love to play. That’s how you start a band — you want to play your instrument in a band. And there was no difference for me. And that’s the first thing you do as a band — you get together, you get into a rehearsal room and you start playing some songs. After that, you need to expand, you need to grow, you need to do something. You need to call somebody to have a gig, and somebody in the band has to pick up the phone and call that somebody to get a gig. And then somebody has to do a poster...

illuminati hotties Drops “Threatening Each Other re: Capitalism”: Stream
illuminati hotties has shared the latest single from her upcoming album, Let Me Do One More. It’s cleverly titled “Threatening Each Other re: Capitalism,” and you can hear it below. On the new track, the indie rock project from the mind of Sarah Tudzin shines a magnifying glass on modern consumerism over the slow roil of reverberating guitars and drums. “But if you’re not too embarrassed/ Of how I go out in public/ Do you think that we could make a deli run?” she asks before launching into the song’s philosophically-minded chorus. “The corner store is selling spit/ Bottled up for profit/ I can’t believe I’m buying in/ Isn’t that genius?” “‘Threatening Each Other re: Capitalism’ makes haste of a machine by which we’ve all been fooled as well as the people who have fooled themselves into thi...
Dickie Moltisanti Commits Some “Good Deeds” in The Many Saints of Newark Trailer: Watch
An empire of crime is built on “good deeds” in the newest trailer for The Many Saints of Newark. This cinematic prequel to The Sopranos will air on HBO Max on October 1st. The first trailer for The Many Saints of Newark shined a spotlight on young Anthony Soprano as played by Michael Gandolfini, the son of the role’s originator, James Gandolfini. That sneak peek hinted at the teenage bruiser’s relationship with his uncle Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), but if this latest preview is any guide, Moltisanti is less a supporting part than the main player. The second trailer opens with Moltisanti visiting a prison and sitting down opposite Aldo ‘Hollywood Dick’ Moltisanti (Ray Liotta). “What do you want, Richard?” Liotta sneers. “I’ll be honest with you,...
Angels & Airwaves Share New Song “Spellbound”: Stream
Adding to the recent swarm of Blink-182–adjacent news, Angels & Airwaves are gearing up to release their first album in seven years. Lifeforms is out on September 24th, and the Tom DeLonge-led outfit unveiled another preview of it today with the single “Spellbound” and an accompanying music video. “Spellbound” sees Angels & Airwaves really lean into the spacey aesthetic they’ve been touting since their 2006 debut, backed by layered, arpeggiated synths, a house beat, and a tasteful dose of vocal distortion. The song’s lyrics appear to reference a romantic relationship that’s doomed to end in tragedy. “It’s not hard to die from love/ When your heart has been spellbound,” DeLonge sings. The former Blink singer also directed the music video for “Spellbound.” According to a press r...

Five Burning Questions: Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ Debuts At No. 1 With 2021’s Best First-Week Numbers
1. The reasons for Kanye West’s Donda posting the year’s biggest first-week number are numerous — but what would you cite as the biggest? Rania Aniftos: While Kanye being Kanye is an obvious factor, in the elusive Donda’s case, the anticipation even had me (who is not typically a Kanye fan) listening to the album to see what all the hype was about. Ever since Kanye began teasing Donda last year, not a day went by without seeing a “Donda? More like Donde esta?” meme or album predictions on TikTok. Donda had such a mysterious energy around it, that by the time it actually arrived, it felt like a legendary Pokémon that needed to be beheld. Lyndsey Havens: The hype — no one generates more of it ...
