THRICE Releases New Single ‘Robot Soft Exorcism’
California rock band THRICE has shared its newest single “Robot Soft Exorcism” off the band’s upcoming album “Horizons/East”. The song grows and lures listeners in with a unique robotic beat that almost seems to be breathing, creating a living rhythm. The track’s title may sound familiar to those who are aware of David Dark. The American author and teacher coined the term in a twitter thread, exploring a metaphor in an attempt to help us distinguish between harmful and destructive systems and those that inhabit and benefit from them. THRICE‘s singer and lyricist Dustin Kensrue picks up the image and breathes life into it throughout the newly released track. Months back Kensrue and Dark spoke at length on the subject, as well as other topics, on Ken...
MARTY FRIEDMAN Says ‘The Meat And Potatoes’ of His Long-Awaited Documentary Is ‘Done’: ‘I Really Like It’
Marty Friedman has offered an update on his long-awaited documentary. Titled “Spacefox” (changed from the original title, “Hebi Metal San”), the film — which is being directed by Jeremy Frindel, the founder of Substratum Films — follows Friedman‘s reinvention from lead guitarist in MEGADETH to one of the most famous TV personalities in Japan. The former MEGADETH guitarist spoke about “Spacefox” during a new interview with FOX17 Rock & Review. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “It’s being going on since 2016. They’ve been filming, on and off… Mostly around 2019, they got the bulk of it together. When I did my first real tour of America in 2016 after being in Japan for, like, 10 years, that’s what they covered ...
Luke Hemmings Is Catching Up To Himself
By Aliya Chaudhry Luke Hemmings began writing what would become the song “Starting Line” after hearing the synth riff his producer, Sammy Witte, had come up with. When Hemmings got to the piano, the lyrics just started to flow: “In and out of focus, moments that I keep…” “I’ll just sit down [at] an instrument and something, it’ll just come out,” Hemmings tells MTV News. “And then I’ll sort of have to catch up to it and figure out, well, what did that mean? And why did those words come out?” It was a fitting process for creating his solo album, When Facing the Things We Turn Away From, arriving August 13, a project that has allowed Hemmings to reflect as he catches up to a whirlwind career. At 25, Hemmings’s life in the music realm has already lasted a decade. He has playe...

John Lithgow Joins Increasingly Ludicrous Cast for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon
Apple may have given Martin Scorsese too much money. Via Deadline, John Lithgow is the latest actor to join Scorsese’s absolutely bonkers cast for the upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon. He’ll be playing Prosecutor Leaward, and as Variety reports that the part is in fact a prosecutor, that means a two-time Oscar nominee has been hired for a role that doesn’t even have a first name. Killers of the Flower Moon is based on non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann. It explores the murders of native Osage peoples in Oklahoma in the 1920s after oil deposits were discovered on their land, in a saga that came to be called the Reign of Terror.

Margot Robbie Joins Cast of Wes Anderson’s Next Movie
The Wes Anderson Cinematic Universe keeps on getting bigger. The beloved director has begun working on his next feature film, and the unsurprisingly star-studded cast for it now includes a fresh face: Margot Robbie. The Suicide Squad actress has never worked with Anderson before, but it’s easy to imagine how her layered, peppy, and sly delivery would bolster one of his scripts. Plot details for the movie are still under wraps, which also means Robbie’s role has not yet been revealed, notes The Hollywood Reporter. The untitled feature will begin shooting in Spain later this month. Rounding out the cast alongside Robbie is fellow new-to-Anderson actor Tom Hanks as well as Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, and Tilda Swinton, all three of whom are longtime staples in the director’s filmography. ...

Hear MOTÖRHEAD’s ‘Ace Of Spades’ Played On Church Bells
As the townsfolk of Weert in the south of the Netherlands gathered for the local Torenfestival on July 17, 2021, it is fair to say they did not expect to hear MOTÖRHEAD‘s iconic, thunderous classic outlaw rock and roll anthem “Ace Of Spades” ringing from the church bells. Yet that is precisely what happened, as local guitarist Jitse Zonneveld partnered with keyboardist and bell-ringer Frank Steijns to perform an unforgettably unique version of the worldwide classic involving Zonneveld shredding the riffs while Steijns hammered the keys/bells to achieve a wonderfully unique performance of the eternal international hit. The response locally was uproariously enthusiastic, as locals loved it, and even Dutch national TV reported the performance. While it’s fair to say th...
BRIAN MAY Says QUEEN Is ‘Looking At Ideas’ For Possible ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Biopic Sequel
QUEEN guitarist Brian May has once again opened the door to the possibility of a sequel to the band’s biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Released in November 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody” has become the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, bringing in more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It was also No. 1 biggest-selling film of 2019 on home release. Speaking on Instagram Live about a possible sequel, May said: “We are looking at it. Yeah, we have been looking at ideas.” He added: “It’s going to be hard to follow that one as none of us could have predicted how massive that was going to be. We put a lot of heart and soul into making it and no one could have predicted [its success] as it was bigger than ‘Gone With The Wind...
DEE SNIDER Says ‘Rock Stars’ Are Missing From Today’s Music Scene, But The Passion Has ‘Never Been Purer’
TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider has once again dismissed the notion that rock is dead. While rock and roll has been king of the music world for decades, in the past few years, it’s been unseated by the growing popularity of hip-hop. This has caused many pundits to proclaim the genre “dead” from an industry perspective, noting that it has been eclipsed in all measures by pop, hip-hop, and EDM. A few years ago, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons told Esquire magazine that “rock did not die of old age. It was murdered. Some brilliance, somewhere, was going to be expressed and now it won’t because it’s that much harder to earn a living playing and writing songs. No one will pay you to do it.” A number of hard rock and heavy metal musicians have weighe...
