The “sophomore slump” is a well documented phenomenon in which a second effort fails to live up to the relatively high standards of the first effort.

Mental health is a topic that’s certainly come to the forefront more in the music industry in recent years, and Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan shared his thoughts on the subject, stating that he feels the music industry was very late to the game on the subject and pondering what could have been for certain artists

Korn producer and noted nu-metal helmer Ross Robinson ”learned a big lesson” after making Korn’s 2010 album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are, as he recently explained. The seasoned record-maker suggested that the vision for the album — a creative attempt to go back to Korn’s beginnings — ultimately “backfired.” He’s not alone in that evaluation. Korn lead vocalist
Okeechobee, Insomniac’s premier multigenre festival in Florida, returns next year with quite the lineup.

A drummer on YouTube has made a video playing classic Metallica songs, but with the drum sounds of St. Anger. Indeed, they replaced all the drums on the tracks with the ringing, open-snare drum tone of the metal legends’ polarizing 2003 album. Think you can handle it? In the clip, creator PolarWhale tunes their snare and tom drums to
After his inspiring album on Subsidia and collaboration with DJ Diesel, FREAKY straight off the back of his North America tour joins forces with the two powerhouse of VLCN and Sara Benyo to create the anthemic and emotional masterpiece entitled, ‘Falling To Pieces’.

A religious group on Facebook apparently believes that a recently released fashion shoe, the Reebok x Maison Margiela Tabi Decortique, is Satanic. That’s because the toe box of the sneaker is cleaved into two halves, an unconventional look for sport-styled footwear — one that makes the shoe resemble the hoof of an animal. “Reebok’s new sneakers have the Baphomet goat feet,” the
This past weekend, ILLENIUM debuted some new music with Nurko, remixing “Golden Hour” by JVKE. While it would be great to have a headline saying it was his first remix in years, he actually just released a remix for the legendary Nirvana just earlier this year. So, second in a while will have to suffice.
Motley Crue and Def Leppard have packed houses for years, but in 2022 the veteran bands experienced the biggest selling tours of their respective careers.

KISS figurehead Gene Simmons doesn’t take too kindly to having friends, as the famous rocker indicated to Goldmine in the music magazine’s latest issue.

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.

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.

Kaskade and deadmau5 are back with the second single in their new collaborative project, Kx5. “Take Me High” — which made its debut during Kx5’s monumental EDC Las Vegas set earlier this year — is a powerhouse tune with a belting diva vocal sample perfectly timed for the current music revival. Compared to their first
