As part of the annual video game conference BlizzCon, Metallica were tapped for a livestream performance at the event. It was the first time the band had played the conference since 2014 and it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. A few seconds into the Twitch stream of the event, the metal faded out and

Dada Life had a relatively quiet 2020; although, they’re certainly not the only ones who put off releasing in a year marred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the venerable Swedish duo put out just one track in 2020, the rave ready “This Time (Never Be Alone Again).” Now, Olle and Stefan are kicking off 2021

Today (Feb. 19) marks 41 years since the untimely death of AC/DC singer Bon Scott. An audio interview with the legend, recorded in October of 1976, has now surfaced online, in which the frontman had a casual chat with journalist Ray Lancaster for his school’s newspaper and revealed how he wound up in AC/DC. The
GRiZ continues his mission to spread love and positivity with “Vibe Check.” Staying true to the producer’s signature style, GRiZ unleashes a hype blend of soulful bass, complete with wonky drops and saxophone solo flexes. In terms of sound design — this track goes full beast mode, putting GRiZ’s production prowess on full display. It’s a
When Pablo Vergara checked into Los Angeles’ Cecil Hotel in 2012, he filmed a quick video of himself and posted it online. One year later, the hotel room clip made him a main suspect in the case of Elisa Lam, a 21-year-old woman who mysteriously disappeared after being caught acting in a bizarre manner by
Vindata are legends in the dance music scene, even if some fans who got into the culture in the past couple years might not have heard of them. (Seriously, they’ve worked with Anderson .Paak, Mija, Ellie Goulding, A-Trak, Jack Ü, and more.) After 2016, they only released a handful of tracks — not quite a
The history of music videos is fascinating. The surest way to promote a hit new single, viewers watching closely will notice that music videos have specific tropes within various genres. Pop music videos tend to be the most avant garde, featuring scenes that literally make no sense or have nothing to do with the song itself
“Gemini” is an absolute classic of What So Not’s, and the first release after Flume announced he had departed the project.

We’re all twiddling our fingers here waiting for the return of live music. Slipknot does have a tour planned for later this year, but we can’t really say for sure whether it’ll be able to happen or not. Corey Taylor, however, mentioned that the band does have something “massive” brewing. Taylor told Kerrang! Radio that
UK’s nightlife industry is itching to reopen, but unfortunately, it will have to wait. Minister for Business & Industry and COVID Vaccine Deployment, Nadhim Zahawi, said nightclubs and music venues are unlikely to reopen until September at the earliest. This is in order to allow proper time for the majority of the population to be vaccinated.
Kelly Clarkson is known for her strong pipes. So it makes sense that Foo Fighters‘ classic “Times Like These” — a rockin’ vocal powerhouse — would be a tune she’d cover. And she did just that on Wednesday’s episode of her namesake daytime variety show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Presumably performed in synergistic honor of the
Odesza’s last release was in August 2020, when they teamed up with Golden Features for the debut album of their collaborative project, BRONSON. Before that, in November 2019, they finally dropped their remix of “Waited 4 U” by Slow Magic (at least, on Spotify). It’s been a little under four years since they dropped their
TikTok gets more metal every day. Liz, also known as the heavy metal baby, has more followers on the app than most rock and metal musicians probably do, and that’s because she drums to bands like Slipknot, Pantera and Metallica. And she’s adorable. Liz’s drumming debut was Slipknot’s one-off single “All Out Life,” and she
Helsinki-based GEA has become known in recent years for the sweet, celestial sound of her voice and marrying traditional Nordic folk music and ambient electronica. It’s been a beautiful marriage of styles in her releases so far, garnering her recognition in a number of genres, including EDM. With her new single “The Truth Between the
Corey Taylor continues to be one of the hardest working musicians going. We’ve seen his prolific nature over the years balancing multiple bands and writing books, but it looks like Taylor has his sights set on yet another medium. According to the singer, he’s got five film scripts he’s completed writing. While speaking with Terri
AniMaze X are releasing their highly anticipated new single “Strawberry Fields Forever” worldwide on Friday, February 26th, 2021. AniMaze X is a 3-dimensional avatar redefined.
