SG Lewis Taps The Brothers Macklovitch, Kassian to Remix “Feed the Fire”
Known for his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist, powerhouse UK export SG Lewis is back again, this time with two imaginative remixes of “Feed The Fire” featuring Lucky Daye. Penned by The Brothers Macklovitch, a duo of brotherly love comprised of siblings A-Trak and Chromeo‘s Dave 1, and emerging talent Kassian, each artist used their signature styles to put their own spin on the original, whose melody was interpolated from Daft Punk‘s “Voyager.” With both remixes out November 27th via Jasmine Music and Universal Music, the reimagining from The Brothers Macklovitch is particularly noteworthy, as it marks only their third official release since reemerging in January. Reworking “Feed the Fire,” the d...
ACCEPT Wanted To Make ‘An In-Your-Face Heavy Metal Album’ With ‘Too Mean To Die’
ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann spoke to France’s “213Rock” podcast about the band’s upcoming album, “Too Mean To Die”, which will be released on January 15, 2021 via Nuclear Blast. You can now listen to the chat below. Speaking about how the coronavirus pandemic affected the creation of “Too Mean To Die”, Wolf said: “We didn’t really feel like we wanted to respond to all the craziness and the corona [crisis]. This whole year has been so crazy and sad in a way because people are just locked away in their homes and all that. So we thought we don’t wanna contribute any more to that. Why don’t we just give ’em an in-your-face heavy metal album and maybe that’s gonna lift up everybody’s spirit more. So tha...
TARJA TURUNEN: ‘Music Has Saved Me’
In a new interview with Heavy New York, former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen was asked if she ever thinks about the impact a song will have on the listener while she is working on new music. She responded (hear audio below): “Not necessarily I’m thinking about when I sit down to write a song how will be the impact of this song. The whole process of writing songs, or my lyrics, they are so personal nowadays that first place they have to mean so much to me, and then I hope, obviously, that they could mean something for another one. But I wouldn’t go and even explain my lyrics for somebody. I kind of tend to write them openly so that they could really understand them the way they want. Because that is important. If I understand one certain song in my way, it’s my own ...

Arcana, Scrying and Revelation – MONGREL’S CROSS
RATING: 8.5/10 There has long been something unique about the way Australians make metal music. Particularly over the last 20 years, the power and fury of Aussie death and black metal has grown exponentially, and MONGREL’S CROSS are surfing that creative wave with abandon on their third full-length. You can certainly detect the spirit of frenzied brutality that has informed fellow countrymen like GOSPEL OF THE HORNS and DESTROYER 666. But this Brisbane quartet have evolved a great deal since 2018’s “Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court”, and it is a refined grasp of metal’s melodic power that has emerged from that developmental process. “Arcana, Scrying and Revelation” stands proudly at the midpoint between metal’s black, death and old school, w...
America’s Obsession: Our 1994 Kate Moss Interview
This article originally appeared in the September 1994 issue of SPIN. From billboard to shining billboard, Kate Moss’s lank frame and doe-eyed stare have dropped a volatile mixture of fame and fury into her 20-year-old lap. Elizabeth Mitchell hops continents to sift through the myths and mystique. If Kate Moss were to open her ripe, Cupid’s-bow mouth to make a public statement, it would go something like this: “I’m not anorexic, I’m not a heroin addict, I’m not pregnant – all the shit they fucking say about me is not true. It’s a load of lies the media made.” Moss pauses for breath. She is a lot of life when you meet her outside a picture. CREDIT: Catherine McGann/Getty Images Moss is not making a statement. She’s enduring an interview, a process she hates because she doesn’t wan...

Peacock Apologizes for ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot Joke About Selena Gomez’s Kidney Transplant
In the sixth episode of the reboot, which premiered earlier this week, the students of Bayside High have their phones taken away and don’t know what to do without having access to the internet. In one scene, two students argue over who donated a kidney to the singer in 2017 after she had been diagnosed with lupus years earlier, as they do not have immediate access to web resources to confirm their questions. In 2017, Gomez shared she had a kidney transplant over the summer due to her battle with lupus, an autoimmune disease that she was diagnosed with five years prior. The singer shared photos of her donor, close friend Francia Raisa, on social media and opened up about the secret surgery in an exclusive interview on Today. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Selena Gomez’...

Camila Cabello on Being in Love With Shawn Mendes: ‘It’s Not Just Happy Blissful Moments’
“It’s so instinctive for us to love,” wrote Cabello, “even if our minds try to protect us from it sometimes, but our nature as humans is to love. And to be in love means to choose that person over and over again, to go through the messy stuff with. And that’s way more beautiful and raw and real than perfection.” The singer went on to explain why she’s willing to speak so openly to her fans. “I’m all for being vulnerable on social media because I think only the neatness and perfection of life is shown on here; and that can make us all feel extra lonely and weird! So raise your glass to the messiness and weirdness of being human and the miracle. And the easiness. And the instinct. And the relentless force that is love.” Mendes recently spoke of Cabel...
The Most Influential Artists: #8 R.E.M.
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #8. From Athens, Georgia, here is R.E.M. CREDIT: Paul Natkin/Getty Images It started not with an earthquake, but a conversation. Michael Stipe and Peter Buck first met in 1980, at a record shop just off campus at the University of Georgia. They bonded over mutual favorite art- and punk-rock bands, and they soon started writing music together. A few months later, joined by fellow student-musicians Mike Mills and Bill Berry, they played their first show at a friend’s birthday party. Most anonymous college groups never get much further — let alone shoulder a movement that would reroute rock history. Throughout the ‘80s, R.E.M. were unwitting architects of alternative rock’s f...
