ARCH ENEMY’s ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ Is ‘Concerned’ About Future Of Metal Music Once ‘The Masters’ Have Retired
In a new interview with Mike McMahan of San Antonio Current, ARCH ENEMY singer Alissa White-Gluz spoke about whether there will be another wave of metal bands who are able to ascend to an arena-level status to take the place of METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST upon their retirement. She said: “I was just talking about that yesterday, because I was with Nergal [BEHEMOTH frontman] and Michael [Amott, ARCH ENEMY guitarist] at the [Southern California stop of] ‘The Bay Strikes Back’ tour, which is TESTAMENT, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL. We were talking about it, and there’s a little bit of concern, actually, for what is going to step in as fantastic music. Even if you go a little bit beyond metal, AEROSMITH, let’s say. Once these bands have to stop for whatever ...

It’s weird — there’s some nights I don’t talk as much ’cause I get choked up. I’m, like, ‘Go into it.’ “It’s been a tough thing to swallow, knowing he’s not here. But we got to do that second [MURDERDOLLS] r...

Watch the Trippy Music Video for Hardwell’s Menacing Single, “F*CKING SOCIETY”
After torpedoing a four-year hiatus, it’s clear that Hardwell wants to make a statement with each new release. His latest is “F*CKING SOCIETY,” a menacing future rave anthem that arrived today by way of his Revealed Recordings imprint. Following the release of his two comeback tracks, “BROKEN MIRROR” and “INTO THE UNKNOWN,” the exhilarating single is the most compelling example of Hardwell’s new, cerebral direction so far. The lyrics of “F*CKING SOCIETY” are existentialist in nature, exploring our tendency as humans to willingly ignore the notion that we are merely cogs in the machine. A guttural voice conveys Hardwell’s message loud and clear: “They know our bullshit in the fucking society / Besides saying n...

Aching and euphoric, it turns back the cloc...

Today, A$AP Rocky’s Swedish House Mafia collab “Frankenstein” has finally been officially released.

Judith Light on the Fascinating Scares of Shining Vale and Why She’s Not Opposed to Auditioning
In Starz’s critically well-received series Shining Vale, the “shit-com” (to quote co-creator Sharon Horgan’s invented term for the genre) blends horror and comedy for an unconventional story about a writer and mother (Courteney Cox) who thinks she’s seeing ghosts. Or she’s experiencing a mental breakdown? That’s just one of the show’s mysteries. The show’s stellar cast includes Cox, Greg Kinnear, Gus Birney, Merrin Dungey, Dylan Gage, and Mira Sorvino, but TV fans might especially spark to the inclusion of Judith Light, whose legendary career on screen and on stage has recently included a number of unforgettable performances in shows including Transparent and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. These days, as the veteran actress tells Consequence, she mostly gets off...
