MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx says that he is “so happy” he and his bandmates decided against hitting the road during the pandemic. CRÜE‘s “The Stadium Tour” with DEF LEPPARD was originally scheduled to take place last summer but ended up being pushed back to 2021, and then to 2022, due to the coronavirus crisis. Late Tuesday night (August 17), Nikki took to his Instagram to share an image containing the text: “I’m so happy we decided to not tour during this pandemic… …. 100%”.

FOREIGNER To Host Pop-Up COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic At Nashville Concert
FOREIGNER singer Kelly Hansen is featured in a new video as part of the Ad Council‘s vaccine education program, “It’s Up To You”, in which he discusses the pandemic with the chair of Nashville’s COVID task force, Dr. Alex Jahangir.

We want everybody to...
Slain In The Spirit – NECRONAUTICAL
RATING: 8.5/10 There was something compellingly convincing about NECRONAUTICAL from the start. Even on their DIY 2014 debut, “Black Sea Misanthropy”, the Brits exuded a strong sense of conceptual and musical cohesion. With obvious forebears like HECATE ENTHRONED and CRADLE OF FILTH to emulate, at least on some aesthetic level, this Manchester quartet have steadily become one of UK black metal’s most prominent dark forces. Two years on from the bold and bilious “Apotheosis”, NECRONAUTICAL‘s fourth studio album is exactly the kind of confident and meticulously conceived record that separates champions from chumps. The dark drama that black metal of this melodic, malevolent hue demands is here in plentiful supply, and there is no room for tongue-in-cheek sc...

Listen to a Preview of Skrillex, Justin Bieber and Don Toliver’s “Don’t Go” Before It Hits Streaming Platforms
