IRON MAIDEN’s BRUCE DICKINSON Says He Will Be First In Line To Get Next Vaccine
IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson, who tested positive for COVID-19 last month after being fully vaccinated, discussed his battle with the disease in a new interview with Forbes. “I’m absolutely fine,” he said during the chat, which was conducted in late August. “Literally, I’m just waiting for these little lateral flow test things that you have to do, self-testing. I’m taking those every day, I’m thinking of making a collage out of them or something at the end. I don’t know. It’s just going through whatever it is, the 10-day isolation at home because I did get COVID. I tested positive for it, just like a week yesterday, basically. And I’ve been absolutely fine. I have the same symptoms that you would get from like a… you f...
Psychedelic Realms Ov Hell – WHARFLURCH
RATING: 7.5/10 Despite what you may have heard, old-school death metal never went away. But what a new generation is increasingly discovering is that there are subtly new ways to evoke the sound of a crushing avalanche of blood, guts and existential dread. The most adventurous of these bands are taking the hallucinogenic cosmic death route, and WHARFLURCH are immediately identifiable as among the best of that malevolent group. “Psychedelic Realms Ov Hell” does exactly as promised, dragging death metal down into some vile, swampy hinterland where the rules of physics no longer apply and comprehension is measured in units of psilocybin. Rooted in doomy tempos and the gutter-level sludge of the terminally de-tuned, every one of these six paeans to bog-sucking oblivion conjures per...

Justin Bieber Launches Fundraiser For Haiti to Provide Support After Earthquake
Beliebers can also gain access to exclusive merch if they donate to the fundraiser, with proceeds benefitting Project Medishare, which has been empowering Haitians and working to improve the quality of their lives since 1994. Haiti is still recovering from a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in 2018 that killed more than a dozen people, and a 7.1 quake in 2010 that damaged the impoverished country’s capital and killed an estimated 300,000 people, according to the Associated Press. The country is also in the midst of a political crisis following July’s assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Bieber previously participated in the all-star re-recording of the charity single “We Are the World,” which honored the original Michael Jackson- and Lionel Richie-p...
Bonnaroo Cancellation Tests New Festival Pandemic-Era Payment Terms
The new agreements require AEG and Live Nation to pay 10% of the artist fee for a festival if the event is canceled 30 to 60 days before the event, either for weather or pandemic-related issues, and 50% of the artist’s fee if an event is canceled less than 30 days in advance. By limiting the event’s liability in case of cancellation, these arrangements are allowing promoters to move ahead with booking shows without having to pay artists’ full costs and are likely to factor into risk evaluation as the pandemic rages on. On Aug. 8, the AEG-promoted Jazz Fest in New Orleans canceled its two weekends planned for Oct. 8-10 and Oct. 15-17 — just one day before the 60-day mark prior to the start of the event, limiting the promoter’s liability to artists. Up...
Lil Nas X Accepts Kid Cudi’s Offer to Collab After Fan Mentions No Black Male Artists Are on ‘Montero’
Is a Lil Nas X and Kid Cudi collab really on the way? On Wednesday (Sept. 1), the 22-year-old rapper revealed the star-studded track list for his highly anticipated debut album Montero, which will feature collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Elton John, Jack Harlow, Doja Cat and Miley Cyrus. When one Twitter user called out the lack of Black male guest artists, LNX responded in his defense on Twitter, “Maybe a lot of them just don’t wanna work with me.” Durand Bernarr, Breland and more Black male artists eagerly flooded his replies to assure him this wasn’t the case, and it looks like Cudder has his back, too. The Man on the Moon rapper reshared Lil Nas X’s explanation and wrote back to him, ̶...

Lil Nas X Releases ‘Montero’ Tracklist Including Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion and More
Ahead of the release of his debut studio album, Montero, Lil Nas X has unveiled the album’s star-studded tracklist. The album features Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Elton John, Miley Cyrus and Jack Harlow. Montero will make its debut on September 17 and includes 15 songs. Yesterday, Lil Nas X unveiled the cover art for the album, which took its inspiration from “Genesis II” by artist John Stephens. For the album cover, Lil Nas X took the ethos of Stephens’ artwork and transformed it to fit his personal narrative of growth and self-acceptance. The cover showcases Lil Nas X floating while surrounded by a double rainbow halo, an ode to Michaelangelo’s “The Creation of David,” and more. Thus far, Lil Nas X has already released two songs from the album which include “Montero (Call Me By Your N...
Andy Shauf Imagines A Great Romance In New Song, ‘Spanish On The Beach’
A year after releasing his acclaimed concept album, The Neon Skyline, singer-songwriter Andy Shauf has returned with a new tale of imagined love and loss. On the new song, “Spanish On The Beach,” Shauf takes us inside the meandering thoughts of a man who meets a mysterious Spanish woman while on vacation. “You spoke in Spanish on the beach, I tried to make up my mind whether I could understand a word you said,” Shauf sings. “You took my hand and we walked out, I forgot to lock the door, you stood waiting in a long dark dress. I wished it could be permanent.” [embedded content] The story unravels from there. The man fantasizes about proposing to this woman whom he doesn’t even understand. The romantic foolishness of the lyrics comes across via the lilting instrumentation by Shauf’s backing ...
Bachelor Look Back in Anger on New Song ‘I See It Now’
“I See It Now” is the latest single from Bachelor’s searing indie-rock debut, Doomin’ Sun. The song is a slow, Lorde-like number, tinged with angst that comes across in quirky lyrical burns like, “You were salt in a sugar shaker/but I couldn’t tell with all that creamer.” “I See It Now” may sound mellow, but its message is clear-eyed and unafraid. They sound especially fearsome when shaming their replacement in the relationship: “And when you guys fuck do you lay and fake it/after he’s done do you brush your teeth naked.” The duo — Jay Som’s Melina Duterte and Palehound’s Ellen Kempner — wrote “I See It Now” at Kempner’s house in Poughkeepsie, New York last January. The band explained in a joint statement: “When Bachelor was filming our music videos for Doomin Sun, we found ourselves with ...

Isaiah Rashad Packs in Artist Cameos for New “Chad” Music Video
Isaiah Rashad’s new music video for his single “Chad” sees the rapper and friends hanging out at a gas station. Directed by Jack Begert and Mez Heirs, artists like Dominic Fike, Aminé, Denzel Curry, Childish Major and Jay Rock are among those who turn up in the cameo-packed visual. In one cut, Rashad and Fike sport matching mechanic jumpsuits as they inspect a broken-down car. Meanwhile, Aminé portrays an idle convenience store clerk, dancing in the aisle. Other clips simply show Rashad spitting bars in the dimly lit gas station lot, a mellow setting apt to the rapper’s laidback delivery. Featuring fellow Chattanooga rapper YGTUT, “Chad” comes off of Rashad’s comeback album, The House is Burning, which was released in July and brought an end to the rapper’s five-year hiatus. He will perfor...
