But what about his partner in crime, KISS guitarist and
Swedish House Mafia has been getting a lot of flak recently for their cancelled tour shows, and even some residual hate for their recent IKEA collaboration (though, not as much). Still, their force as icons in electronic music is nothing to take lightly. Having just released their new album Paradise Again earlier this year, they’ve already

After teasing a new album and new single, ILLENIUM officially releases his new single with Skylar Grey, “From The Ashes,” today. Stylistically, the song is peak ILLENIUM. Soaring chords, beautiful vocals, delicate guitar and piano in between more cacophonous drops — he’s found his formula and it’s working. As for the title of the song,
Post Malone apologized to fans in a video over the weekend after the rock-minded hip-hip artist experienced a nasty fall onstage during his “Twelve Carat Tour” performance in St. Louis, per KFVS 12.

Among the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Cashmere Cat, or A. G. Cook, Mura Masa’s consistency might be one of his strongest assets. With each project that he puts out, there’s a distinct and characteristic sound that evokes, “This is Mura Masa” — like a Spotify playlist, but it’s just him putting out his own music.
When fans and critics look back at the early career of Black Sabbath they recognize that the band released six groundbreaking albums in a row before being consumed by their appetites for drugs and alcohol. But what they often fail to absorb is that all six albums were released within a five year timeframe. Yes,
On first look, the duo RPxSB give off two definite vibes: Bay Area and MF DOOM. We’re unsure if the latter is an influence on Roddy Picante and Stay-Bizzy, or Rock Plaid and Survive Bullshxt, but the multiple pseudonyms, strong visual aesthetic and versatile style of their recent Creatures album series certainly may remind hip hop
Living Colour and Steve Vai would be a supergroup we could really get on board with.

In retrospect, the much revered “classic” lineup of Guns N’ Roses was together a relatively short time, with the first significant changes in the band coming in the early ’90s, but even with the initial alterations to the group, it was still one helluva ride the band was enjoying after monstrous success of their debut
If you haven’t been paying attention to IMANU, it’s not too late. In fact, now is the perfect time to catch up with the release of his debut album, Unfold, out today on Deadbeats. The young artist has been on my radar for a big but truly burst into my consciousness with his explosive b2b with
Everyone has to start somewhere, and before Trivium‘s Matt Heafy delivered some of the most killer gutturals in metal, he actually was a pop-punk kid. Heafy shared his past while highlighting a new collaboration he did with Ten Second Songs mastermind Anthony Vincent, with the pair teaming up to cover Blink-182‘s “dammit” in 20 different
In a monumental collaboration, some of melodic bass music’s very best have teamed up to unveil “Freedom.” Boasting a combined 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 32Sstiches, CHENDA and Harley Bird are some of the most exciting emerging talents to rise within the past years, and “Freedom” is bound to only further cement them within
