11 Photos That Capture the Visuals of Excision’s Awe-Inspiring Thunderdome 2022
Since its genesis, Thunderdome has been Excision‘s go-to performance to showcase newfangled sights and sounds for his loyal fanbase. And this year was no different. As he’s done in years past, Excision took to the hotly debated bass capitol of Seattle to debut an entirely revamped show. Armed with an arsenal of dubstep and bass firepower, he shook the Tacoma Dome for two days with DJ sets full of new music. The massive lineup of supporting DJs did the same, like YOOKiE, who dropped a mind-melting remix of ACRAZE’s global hit “Do It To It.” JEANIE, Vampa, ATLiens, Eptic, and the rest of the lineup showed out, preparing ravers for what was ultimately one of Excision’s best performances in recent memory. The unwavering doses of new music brought more than j...
Vini Vici and Omiki Join Forces for Psytrance Stunner, “In The Middle”
Another day, another stroke of genius from Vini Vici. The pioneering dance music tandem have unveiled their latest masterstroke, a new single called “In The Middle.” Created alongside Israeli compatriot Omiki, the track is a riveting blend of psytrance and techno with melodic undertones that slither through its hypnotic arrangement. But while “In The Middle” is a slight departure for Vini Vici, that doesn’t make the track any less impressive. And at a length of six minutes, it’s a journey. In fact, the barnstorming psytrance duo said that “In The Middle” is one of the most special songs of their storied career. “It is not with every release that we feel we bring something new to the table,” Vini Vici said in a joint stat...
JON SCHAFFER Is Continuing To Cooperate With U.S. Capitol Riot Investigators; Next Status Report Due In May
ICED EARTH guitarist Jon Schaffer, who pleaded guilty 10 months ago to his role in the Capitol riot, is continuing to cooperate with authorities while on pre-sentencing release. In a joint status update filed on Friday (February 18) in federal court in Washington, D.C., United States attorney Matthew M. Graves wrote that the “government reports that Defendant Jon Schaffer continues to cooperate with the government.” Prosecutors also asked for a May deadline for the filing of another status report in his case. According to an April 2021 Justice Department press release, Schaffer has “acknowledged he is a founding lifetime member” of the right-wing Oath Keepers extremist group. Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta granted the U.S. government’s reques...

Trump’s Truth Social Comes to App Store, Doesn’t Work
Truth Social, the new social media platform from former President Donald Trump, launched today in Apple’s App Store and promptly failed to work. As Axios and others have reported, new users weren’t able to use the app, but instead were immediately added to a waitlist. “You’re not just another number to us,” the message reads, before assigning them a number. Some people were invited to be beta testers last week, and Trump-supporting congressional representatives like Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) were able to use Truth Social and report bugs. It’s unclear how long new users will stay on the waitlist, when it will come to Android and other platforms, or even how far the app has been developed.

Grace McKagan Unveils New Song “Baby That’s Rock N Roll”: Stream
Grace McKagan, the daughter of Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, has unveiled the music video for her new song “Baby That’s Rock N Roll.” Grace goes for a garage-rock sound this time around, combining a driving beat with fuzzed-out guitars. Director Connor Ellmann’s Super 8-style video adds to the vintage aesthetics, as Grace rides through the Hollywood hills on the back of a motorcycle. “The single speaks to the current mainstream attitude towards rock music, and how distorted it is from the original depth and authenticity from which it was derived,” Grace McKagan said in a press statement. “I’m not the guru on what rock is or isn’t, but the personification of the genre has evolved a lot, especially in these past couple of years. Studs, dirty sex, a guitar riff on a pop song, and wearin...
