Netsky and Montell2099 Collide On Anthemic Drum & Bass Track, “Broken”
Netsky and Montell2099 have collided once again on a riveting new single called “Broken.” Though many might expect a collab between Netsky and Montell2099 to land on the harder side of the drum & bass spectrum, “Broken” is quite the opposite. Opening with melancholic lyrics crooning about a breakup, the track quickly builds into a rumbling, synth-driven drop. Whether the song finds itself being played out in a club, a festival, or a car, the scintillating “Broken” is a drum & bass essential and a crowning achievement for both artists’ discographies. The connection between this pairing is undeniable. “Broken” marks the second time Netsky and Montell2099 have crossed paths after they collaborated on 2020’s “Mixed ...

QUEENSRŸCHE Guitarist MIKE STONE On His Return To Band: ‘It’s Been Going Great’
Mike Stone says that his latest stint as QUEENSRŸCHE‘s guitar player has “been going great.” Since last May, Stone has been handling second-guitar duties in QUEENSRŸCHE, which announced in July that longtime guitarist Parker Lundgren was exiting the group to focus on “other business ventures.” Stone originally joined QUEENSRŸCHE for the 2003 album “Tribe” and stayed with the band for six years before leaving the group. In a new interview with “Rockin’ Metal Revival”, Stone stated about how his return to QUEENSRŸCHE came about: “Life throws things at you sometimes. And it was one of those things.

KORN’s MUNKY: ‘We Care’ About How We’re Going To Be Remembered
In a new interview with Colombia’s Radioacktiva, KORN guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer spoke about what he would like his band’s legacy to be. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think this band — well, I don’t think; I know this band — in the past, like early ’90s and the 2000s, we were not concerned about tomorrow so much. We were living in the moment. We were young. All we cared about was the party. ‘We don’t care about what happens tomorrow; we just care about today.’ And that was fun. But now, with us all in our early 50s — it’s hard to say [that we are that old]… it’s hard to take that in [we are in our 50s]. But we don’t feel like [we are that old] because the music keeps us so young. But at th...
