SLIPKNOT Is ‘Still Mixing’ New Album
During an appearance on the March 3 episode of Doug Bradley‘s “Down To Hell” show, SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor was asked if there is a “hard release date” yet for the band’s upcoming follow-up to 2019’s “We Are Not Your Kind” album. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We don’t have a hard date yet ’cause we’re lazy and we’re still mixing the damn thing. I can tell you it’s completely recorded and we’re about halfway through mixing it. So, to me, I would say probably two or three months [from now]. That’s my ballpark. I’m hoping; I’m gonna push to get it out then — maybe summertime sometime.” SLIPKNOT‘s next LP is expected to include the single ...

Earlier today, the official YouTube channel of Doro Pesch has uploaded a video of the German metal queen discussing — in German — the fact that she was one of several people who received a bullet from late MOTÖRHEAD frontman Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister as a personal gift. In a message accompanying the YouTube release of the video, Doro wrote: “Receiving a bullet with Lemmy‘s ashes inside was one of the most intense moments of my life, indescribable heartbreaking and touching. I loved him so much. We toured together and recorded together (you can hear a bit of our song ‘It Still Hurts’ in this video), and most of all: We were best of friends. I will miss him forever…” Last May, Doro spoke about the Lemmy bullet in an interview with Brazil’s &#...
HEART’s ANN WILSON Says A Band Is Harder To Keep Together Than A Marriage
In a new interview with “The Mistress Carrie Podcast”, HEART frontwoman Ann Wilson was asked if it’s harder to keep a marriage or a band together. The 71-year-old singer, who has been married to Dean Wetter since April 2015, laughed and responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think it’s harder to keep a band together — in my experience. And I’ve only been married once and I’m still loving it and feel great about it. It’s harder to keep a band together because you have other people coming, like wives and significant others, talking in your bandmates’ ears and maybe saying things that pit them against you or against the group unity. It’s really hard. It’s kind of a revolving door with a band.” Ann‘s comm...
SEPULTURA’s ANDREAS KISSER Says Brazil Has ‘The Worst President Ever’: He Is ‘Worse Than TRUMP’
In a new interview with Vinny Cecolini of The Aquarian Weekly, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser discussed the divisive political climate in his home country of Brazil. He said: “Historically, Brazilian politics is a mess. We’ve been through two presidential impeachments during the last few decades, which is crazy. It doesn’t matter if the politician is right, left, or dead in the center, it is chaotic. We have the worst president ever. I dare say our president was worse than [former U.S. president Donald] Trump was. The politicians have no respect for anyone other than their small group. “[Admittedly,] Brazil is a difficult place,” he continued. “It’s a big country. Geographically from north to south, there are so many different cultures. We also...

Donald Trump Pressuring Supporters to Fund New Plane After Emergency Landing
Leave it to Donald Trump to brazenly ask supporters to fund a new big boy toy rather than fixing his old plane. Days after a jet flying him to Florida was forced to make an emergency landing (following a fundraising speech, naturally), the former president’s Save America PAC sent an email blast to supporters boasting about his plans for “a BRAND NEW Trump Force One.” “Do you remember Trump Force One?” the email read (via Rolling Stone). “Before becoming the greatest President of all time, I traveled the Country in my plane, known as Trump Force One. I have a very important update on my plane but I need to trust that you won’t share it with anyone: my team is building a BRAND NEW Trump Force One.” According to The Hill, the email also included a GIF of a plane taking off with a poll gi...
