Mining Metal: An Abstract Illusion, Barn, Floating, Lunar Spells, Mamaleek, Miscreance, Toadeater, and Toughness
As the first summer this decade that felt like a true summer winds down, metalheads rejoice as the seasons turn in our favor. We trade in our black cutoff death metal shirts for black long-sleeved death metal shirts, battle jackets give way to actual jackets (denim and patch-filled, of course), cut-off cargos transform into jeans while combat boots…actually, who knows what metalheads wear to shows these days, though Dave Mustaine is hopefully still kicking about in his Nike Air Tech Challenge IIs. The point is, temperatures will start dropping throughout most of the world soon, and inside those cold weather months is peak metal mise-en-scene. The black metal that champions either Scandanavian pastures or American fauna usually comes with a wintery tone, though that’s not to say that fall d...
Future Interrupts Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a “Love You Better” Dream Sequence: Watch
Life is different when you’re living in the Future, as the Atlanta MC demonstrated with a show-stopping performance — literally — of “Love You Better” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kimmel introduced the musical guest as if he were sitting down for an interview. After Future took a spot on the couch, the host asked, “So how is the Future? Relatively speaking.” “Man, I be drifting off sometimes,” Future replied, as music began to swell and the lighting went woozy. The cameras shifted to show a young woman calling out, “Future!” as she entered his dressing room. She found a bouquet of flowers, a bucket of ice, and a note: “I NEVER LIKED U.” Advertisement Related Video That’s a reference to Future’s new album, I Never Liked You, and as she sat on the couch to process this missive, the camera...

Paramore Announces First Album in 5 Years, ‘This Is Why’
In one of the most anticipated musical comebacks of the year, Paramore has returned with its first new music in half a decade, sharing the news of its forthcoming sixth LP This Is Why and sharing the project’s titular track. The Nashville-based trio — consisting of Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York — has been on hiatus for the past few years following 2017’s After Laughter. The new single was inspired by the group’s reentry into the music landscape, particularly in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Williams dove into the creative process behind “This Is Why” in a statement: “”This Is Why” was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was ...
Coolio Was Working on Song With Irish Singer Christy Dignam Before Death, Said it Was ‘Probably Going to be a Banger’
Coolio‘s death at 59 on Wednesday (Sept. 28) left many unanswered questions, including whether the beloved “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper left behind any unheard music. But as spotted by People magazine, earlier this summer the MC born Artis Leon Ivey Jr. had been working on a new song with the lead singer of Irish rock band Aslan, Christy Dignam, just a few months before his passing. “We’ve just got into it,” Coolio told the Irish Examiner in July in an interview about his return to one of his favorite cities in the world, Dublin, Ireland. “We’re working on a track. We haven’t even started writing any lyrics. The track is being built as we speak. Somewhere within the next four to six weeks we should have something tangible we could work with.” Coolio — who told the paper he loves Dublin so m...
Cher Walks in Balmain Finale at Paris Fashion Week in Spandex Bodysuit
Paris Fashion Week roared into full gear Wednesday (Sept. 28) with atmospherics and excitement over Balmain’s evening fashion-music festival spectacular — a star-studded charity concert featuring the latest fashions, members of the public and performances.

Olivier Rousteing proved he is one of global fashion’s biggest showmen — putting on, yet again, not a show but a festival for Balmain that took place in a giant stadium. Of course, the greatest celebrity moment of Paris Fashion Week just had to be clinched here — when the designer came out at the end arm in arm with Cher. The 76-year-old Oscar winner trod the boards all smiles — to screams from the crowds — in a marbled spandex bodysuit, plunging neck, platform wedges and the house’s...
Miley Cyrus Shares Sweet Voicemail From Taylor Hawkins Encouraging Her to ‘Kill’ This Def Leppard Cover
Taylor Hawkins had a gut feeling that Miley Cyrus could absolutely “kill” a cover of Def Leppard‘s 1983 Pyromania classic “Photograph.” We know he was right because Miley did just that on Tuesday (Sept. 27) during the mega-star tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer at the Kia Forum, where she joined the veteran British glam rock band for a fiery rendition of one of their signature hits. We also know it because on Wednesday (Sept. 28), Miley shared a sweet old voicemail she saved from Taylor in which he encouraged her to take a swing at the pop metal ballad. “A personal request from the legend himself. #TaylorHawkins my friend, my idol…. My neighbor,” wrote Cyrus about the legendarily sweet, energetic and encouraging timekeeper who died at 50 on March 25 while on tour with the Foo Fighte...
