It was noted that he played it off well and the audience loved […]
Sentient Ruin Laboratories, the Bay Area-based label who trades in everything from caustic war metal to blackened industrial, has had an absolute deathgrip on my listening habits as of late. I listen to a lot of different music from a lot of different places on a daily/hourly/minute-by-minute basis, but it seems that every other release […]
Billy Joel was about halfway through his eighth studio album, The Nylon Curtain, and sensing the creative strain.

One might think that Alice In Chains were not as mainstream successful as bands such as […]
Not long ago, producer Giles Martin wasn’t sure four-track-era Beatles albums like Revolver could be properly remixed. The tech, he said then, wasn’t there yet. “That’s a good example of, ‘How do we do that?’” Martin told Rolling Stone in 2021. “How do I make sure that John [Lennon] or Paul [McCartney]’s vocal isn’t just in […]
Wolfgang Van Halen has posted about playing at Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, “What an amazing young man Shane Hawkins is. We unfortunately have too much in common.

Darkthrone released Eternal Hails in 2021 and they’re already back with a brand new record! Darkthrone has announced Astral Fortress for October 28, which they’re describing as both vintage-sounding with its use of mellotron and synthesizer, and “seething with hell” in terms of lyrics.
