Musicians’ Union Issues Call for Government Action to Strengthen Protections Against Sexual Abuse
In light of recently published data and testimonials which continue to illuminate the pervasive sexual abuse occurring throughout the music industry, the UK-based Musicians’ Union (MU) is calling on their government to implement stronger workplace protections for industry professionals. A new internal MU poll conducted prior to the pandemic revealed that nearly half of all members (48%) report having experienced some form of sexual harassment at work. The numbers are backed by some heartbreaking anonymous testimonials, which detail patterns of abuse due to imbalanced power dynamics and a normalization of sexually explicit behaviors. “It’s unacceptable that so many artists, musicians, employees, and freelancers have suffered abuse at work and that many have left the ...
Watch Tiësto Perform From the Back of a Tricked-Out Heineken Truck at F1 Dutch Grand Prix
Tiësto rang in the celebrated return of the Dutch Formula 1 Grand Prix live from Circuit Zandvoort, where an estimated 70,000 daily attendees witnessed all the high-octane action.

Zedd Partners With VALORANT to Develop Line of Music-Fueled Weapon Skins
Zedd has taken his VALORANT fandom to the next level with an immersive new collab.

Hydraulix Drops Genre-Bending, 20-Track Debut Album “Imposter Syndrome”
After years of releasing some of the most heavily supported tracks among the DJ community, Australian trap music virtuoso Hydraulix has finally dropped the curtain on his debut album, the 20-track Imposter Syndrome LP. Long revered for his approach to bass music production—in which he creates wonky trap music with a booty-shaking twist—Hydraulix looked inward to develop his debut album, the result of struggle with lockdown-induced insecurity. While largely rooted in the mind-bending bass spectrum of its label, Wakaan, the album enters pensive territory at times, dabbling in future bass and hip-hop. “GOAT” and “System Malfunction” are two undeniable Imposter Syndrome standouts in an album of many. The former, which features gritty bars f...

In a new interview with the WGRD 97.9 radio station, IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain spoke about how he and his bandmates managed to keep the details of their new album, “Senjutsu”, under wraps for more than two years after completing it in early 2019 during a break in their “Legacy Of The Beast” tour. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Basically, what happened [was] Steve [Harris, MAIDEN bassist and founder] has had the only copy that he took on his computer of the album — the finished product. That was it. There were no copies sent to anyone. There was no advance media — of course, there was no advance listenings for any of the record companies around the world. So it was all kept under wraps. I got my digital download of it from Steve three an...
Former NIGHTWISH Singer ANETTE OLZON Opens Up About Being Bullied
Former NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon, who is promoting her upcoming solo album, “Strong”, spoke to Finland’s Tuonela Magazine about her experience getting bullied both in her personal life and by strangers on the Internet. Asked what advice she has for other people who are getting bullied, Anette said: “Well, I’ve been bullied in my childhood and, actually, not so many years ago in my adult life. I was a nurse student, and I came to a department to do my internship. And they bullied me. And I was actually at the same time in the local magazine — a big story about [my first solo album] ‘Shine’ or something; I don’t remember — so I was kind of in the focus. And I think this was jealousy. You never know. I hadn’t done anything. And, actual...
