ANVIL Completes Recording New Album
Canadian metal legends ANVIL have finished recording their 19th album at a studio in Germany. Earlier today (Monday, August 30), the band’s guitarist/vocalist Steve “Lips” Kudlow tweeted: “Officially completed the recording process for the new album!! Songs all kick major ass!!

Drake Confirms ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Release Date
Following last week’s cryptic commercial during ESPN‘s SportsCenter, Drake has confirmed his long-teased, upcoming album Certified Lover Boy‘s release date. “CERTIFIED LOVER BOY SEPTEMBER 3,” he wrote under an image of several “Pregnant Woman” emojis via Instagram on Monday morning. The formal announcement arrives days after the Six God interrupted ESPN’s SportsCenter program with a glitchy advertisement mimicking a broadcast hack. In the commercial, a piece of cardboard flashed before the screen fronting a handwritten message: “CLB September 3.” The official SportsCenter Twitter account spoke out about the takeover, writing, “We want to apologize for any interruptions viewers might have experienced during SportsCenter this morning. We had some technical diffi...
‘Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy’ Devs Explain Why Star-Lord Is the Sole Playable Character
Shortly after unveiling the upcoming game’s main villain, the team behind Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has now shed more light on why they chose Star-Lord to be the only playable character, a decision that has brought controversy among fans. In a recent interview with VG247, the game’s senior creative director Jean-François Dugas explained that the team wanted players to be more immersed within the team instead of being pulled out to a more controlling, top-down view of the Guardians. “Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot ooze with personality. We wanted players to be at the center stage of that dynamic,” Dugas said. “Therefore, the question became, ‘What if players are one of the Guardians? What if we put them in the shoes of the ‘so-called’ leader, and let them make the bi...
Norman Reedus May Have Just Confirmed a ‘Death Stranding’ Sequel
Fans of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding might have some hope for a sequel as Norman Reedus, aka Sam Porter Bridges, has revealed that a follow-up could be in the works. In a translated interview from Brazil’s AdoroCinema, Reedus mentions, “I think we’re doing a second Death Stranding. [The game] is in negotiations right now. So… Yay!” While the translation does say a second game is coming, the Portuguese translation could be referring to a new expansion or more DLC — much like the upcoming Director’s Cut Digital Deluxe Edition that’s arriving at the end of next month. Other sources seem to think that the translation from Reedus is entirely accurate and that a sequel is on its way in the coming future. Due to the success of the game and Kojima’s track record for further developing storylines...
Sony’s New Lighter PlayStation 5 Carries a Significantly Smaller Heatsink
Sony recently released a revised edition of its PlayStation 5, and now a teardown video has revealed the differences between the new edition and its predecessor. In a new video published yesterday, YouTuber Austin Evans managed to get hold of one of the revised PlayStation 5 models, which he promptly took apart. Breaking down the differences between the old and new models, Evans discovers that the heatsink of the revised edition is significantly smaller than its predecessor. While it does shave weight by around 0.66lb, it does also increase the device’s running temperature by a couple of degrees. Aside from the heatsink, there are also a few minor changes between the editions, although none of them should really have a significant impact on the consoles’ performances. Connections to the Wi...
Iron Butterfly Drummer Ron Bushy Dies at 79
He made his mark with an extended drum solo on the band’s epic hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” from 1968, the full cut of which runs to 17 minutes. “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, one of four Iron Butterfly titles to impact the chart. Its parent album hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, while 1969’s Ball went to No. 3. Though the band would pause on several occasions, and reunite with different lineups, Bushy was a constant. In an interview with Vinyl Writer, published in February of this year, Bushy hinted at several songs that were never fleshed out in the studio. “Actually we had three new songs that were never recorded,” he explained. “Unfortunately, some of the band members did not want to do music anymore. Now, some of our I.B. members have pass...
