Rich DietZ Flip Getter’s “Head Splitter” Into Blistering House Anthem
Following the release of their audial ode to OnlyFans, “Only Fans Song,” blossoming electronic music duo Rich DietZ have returned with a blistering flip of Getter‘s “Head Splitter.” While the duo’s original music is known for its quirky, tongue-in-cheek pop culture references and nuanced sound design, their remix game is sharply club-focused. Flipping a dubstep track of this magnitude is no easy task, but Rich DietZ did a fantastic job of harnessing the metallic wobbles of Getter while repurposing them in a house backbone that doubles as a shuffler’s dream. Check out the new remix below and don’t sleep on the second drop, where Rich DietZ decided to go haywire with a wild breakbeat switch-up. The duo’s new mind-melting house t...

The famed Worlds producer took to Twitter to share a preview, which you can check out below. In December 2020 Porter announced that Nurture, his ballyhooed sophomore album, was finally complete, saying that the record is his “favorite music [he’s] ever made.” At the time of the tweet, he said...

The expanded editions arrive March 5th, and to tide us over, live cuts of each title track are now available to stream.

During Impeachment, Donald Trump Reportedly Gave National Medals of Arts to Toby Keith and Ricky Skaggs
Toby Keith (“American Soldier” music video), Donald Trump, and Ricky Skaggs (photo via flickr/Festival of Faiths) Donald Trump lives in an alternate universe where he never lost the election, never incited an insurrection, and Toby Keith is good. We saw that play out during his second (!) impeachment hearing, when Trump reportedly holed up in the White House’s East Room, pretending it wasn’t happening and giving National Medals of Arts to Keith and Ricky Skaggs. Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs and NBC News’ Peter Alexander separately broke the news on Twitter. As the House of Representatives voted to impeach, Trump took the time to honor country-bluegrass veteran Skaggs and jingoistic warmonger Keith. As The Hill notes, both had previously offered their support for...

JEFF PILSON Defends Social Media Companies In Banning TRUMP’s Accounts: ‘His Speech Clearly Can Incite Insurrection’
During an appearance on the “Rock ‘N’ Roll Icons With Bode James” podcast, former DOKKEN and current FOREIGNER bassist Jeff Pilson was asked to weigh in on Twitter permanently suspending President Donald Trump‘s account. Last week, the social media platform decided that the president had crossed a line too far continuing to use Twitter to repeat debunked conspiracy theories about the election, even after thousands of his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an insurrection that left five dead. Twitter, which has a policy against inciting violence, undermining democratic processes and spreading election misinformation, announced it would no longer let Trump use its platform. Twitter suspended the president’s personal account, @realDonaldTrump,...
Songs Of Flesh And Decay – STASS
RATING: 8/10 It’s January, so that must mean at least one new album from Rogga Johansson. And here it is, the long-awaited follow-up to STASS‘s 2017 debut “The Darkside”. Unlike most of the Swedish workhorse’s higher-profile projects, STASS are a bona fide band, and while “Songs Of Flesh And Decay” was almost certainly not recorded in a single, sweaty room, it certainly sounds like the work of a living, breathing and blasting death metal band, rather than another wholly laptopped liaison. They are also one of Rogga‘s more pointedly melodic projects, with a knack for memorable choruses and old-school Stockholm hooks, which only occasionally surface in his more brutal efforts. The presence of CREMATORY vocalist Felix Stass explains both the ban...
Macrocosmos – FRACTAL GENERATOR
RATING: 8.5/10 If there is one thing that the world needs a lot more of, it’s Sci-Fi-themed death metal. Go with me on this one, you’ll thank me for it later. FRACTAL GENERATOR self-released an astonishing debut album back in 2015: although it slid under most folk’s radars, “Apotheosynthesis” heralded the arrival of a unique new death metal force, with vast amounts of imagination and wonkier, genre-bending ideas than seemed strictly fair. Five years on, “Macrocosmos” delivers another jarring, pan-dimensional whirlwind of brutality, which once again proclaims its creators to be, if I may, a bit fucking special. There is no doubting FRACTAL GENERATOR‘s prowess as a death metal band. This second outpouring of futuristic savagery is noticeably da...
‘Lovely’ Day: Billie Eilish & Khalid Join YouTube Billion Views Club
Billie Eilish and Khalid have a “lovely” reason to celebrate now that the music video for their 2018 collaboration has reached 1 billion views on YouTube. In the cold and dark visual for their melodramatic ballad, which premiered April 26, 2018, the two young singers delicately waltz around each other in a glass box while wearing all-black outfits and a thick layer of silver chains. The then-16-year-old Eilish came up with the video concept to convey feeling hopelessly trapped with someone else. “Lovely” was featured on the accompanying soundtrack for the second season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why series, which Selena Gomez executive produced. This marks Khalid’s first entry and Eilish’s second entry after the music video for ...
