  • Ovtlier Cover “Through The Trees” From “Jennifer’s Body”

    Ovtlier have released a cover of “Through The Trees” from the 2009 film “Jennifer’s Body.” You can find an official video for that track below. The original song was performed by the fictional band Low Shoulder in the movie. Vocalist Joey Arena commented:

    “Being a fan of ‘Jennifer’s Body’ since it came out, ‘Through the Trees’ has always been one of those songs that you found yourself singing along with. I’ve been wanting to cover it for years years, and I finally decided it was time. I especially loved knowing the original isn’t available on any of the major streaming platforms so I want to capitalize. I wanted to give fans of the movie aversion they could actually stream and keep coming back to.The song already had great bones, so I didn’t want to change what made it special. I just wanted to put my own spin on it, make it bigger, more cinematic and give the production the epic feel I always imagined it could have. More than anything, this was just me being a fan and having fun bringing a song I’ve always loved more life.”

    The band commented:

    “Just as the truth of heliocentrism once overturned a world where geocentrism was considered common sense, falling in love can completely transform a life that once revolved around oneself. ‘What if I had done things differently?’ ‘What if I had chosen another path?’ As we struggle, hesitate, and make choices among countless possibilities, each decision leads us toward a different future. ‘Parallel Universe’ is a song about love, choice, and the different worlds that may unfold beyond them.”

  • Black Stone Cherry’s Next EP Is “Already Done”

    During an interview with Rock Antenne, Black Stone Cherry’s Chris Robertson and Ben Wells offered an update on the follow-up to their latest EP “Celebrate.” Notably, the next EP is “already done.”

    Wells said following:

    “The second EP is already done, and it’s just gotta be mixed. Chris and our engineer Jordan [Westfall] will mix it pretty soon, I guess — soon-ish. That’s already done, but we’re already coming up with new riffs at soundcheck and putting them on phones. And it just kind of never… There are times you hit a lull and you’re, like, ‘Okay,’ you’re hitting a dry spell, so to speak. But then sometimes you just keep churning them out, and ideas and songtitles and riffs and drum patterns.”

    He went on to discuss the musical direction:

    “I don’t think we’ve ever tried to reinvent ourselves. We’ve always tried to stay at the core of what we do. And we might branch off and have some different things, but we always just try to make it genuinely us, whether it’s something totally different or not. If we believe in it, then it’s gonna come out sounding like it’s supposed to.”

    Robertson also explained the band’s decision to focus on EPs rather than an album:

    “The initial thought was just — the world’s fast as hell now, man. You put out an album, and two months after the album comes out, people are asking, ‘When’s your new music coming?’ And you’re, like, ‘The damn album came out two months ago, man.’ But the reality of it is after you go in the studio and you decide to do an EP of your own music, you take six songs or seven songs, and it’s just a little different. I don’t know. I feel like it’s all more concise. It’s all more to the point. There’s no questions on which song should be where. It’s kind of like cutting the fat and then putting it out in two pieces almost. So for us, man, it was a thing to where, let’s try something different because the world has changed over the last 20 years in how we ingest the arts. We ingest and digest it so fast that if we can put out a piece of music more frequently than every… ‘Cause, dude, when you do an album cycle, you gotta go tour for 18 months essentially, or you’re gonna tour a year and a half or so off of a record, maybe two years if it does great, and then you’ve gotta have time to write and record the next album, and it’s just a very long process. And for a band like us that has made our career being an on-the-road band, it just makes way more sense, in our opinion, to break our releases up into smaller sections that come together.”

  • Chad Gray (Mudvayne) Shares Music Video For His Cover Of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful”

    Chad Gray (Mudvayne, HELLYEAH) has released a new cover of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful.” You can find a video for that track below:

    Gray commented:

    “The song ‘Beautiful’ is a song about self-acceptance, finding your inner beauty, and overcoming insecurity. I have struggled my entire life with all of those things so when I heard it years ago, it spoke to me, I felt what [songwriter] Linda Perry was trying to say with the lyrics. As I have found sobriety and worked on myself, I have found even more of a connection with this song. My songwriting has has always been driven by my experiences and feelings, from dark to light from helpless to hopeful.

    Although I didn’t write ‘Beautiful,’ I am passionate about its meaning so I wanted to put my own spin on it. I know no one had me covering a pop song in 2026 on their bingo card, but here we are. I changed the bridge, got the scream, big drums, and big guitars in there. Maybe some of the metal family can hear it and find their own self-love because we are beautiful no matter what they say.”

    Linda Perry also commented:

    “Chad Gray’s heavy version of ‘Beautiful’ is a must-listen. It made me smile. His passionate and fearless vocals get a thumbs up from this listener.”

  • Ex-Malevolent Creation Members Blame Toxic Work Environment For Their Departure, Guitarist Phil Fasciana Claims They Couldn’t Play The Band’s Songs Live

    Former Malevolent Creation touring members Chris Cannella (guitar) and Jesse Jolly (bass) have further addressed their recent departures from the band. They claim their exits were related to a toxic work environment. However, guitarist Phil Fasciana claims they were incapable of performing the group’s songs.

    Cannella commented:

    “As as of today I am no longer a part of Malevolent Creation. No mudslinging but IYKYK!”

    Jolly added:

    “It is with sincere regret to all the amazing fans, friends and family that I’ve met over the past 3yrs, while working with Malevolent Creation, that I am announcing my immediate departure. Though my time was short with mc, there were/are elements within the band (phil) that are far too toxic for me to tolerate any longer.

    I don’t plan on laying out a ton of specifics; but I only want to say that I tried my very best to deliver every night for the fans. My heart breaks for what could have been, but I promise to see you all again, soon! I feel a great sense of relief that I will never share the stage with someone who has such vitriol for those who only try to help.

    From promoters, tour managers, stage crew, long-time fans and, yes, even we as his bandmates have endured unspeakably absurd mood-swings from the aforementioned toxic element. I will no longer personally witness the abuse handed down by someone who hardly deserves the pleasure of performing for the very people who made it all possible. (You.) I love you all, for your kindness and support. Until next we meet”

    Fasciana then fired back:

    “My offer to Mr. Chris Cannella is to pick any song from the setlist we were playing live with him and make a video of himself playing a song from start to finish without any mistakes and i will personally give him $1,000. He has till Friday to prove himself. This will clear up any questions as to why he was fired from the band and why Jesse Jolly had to go as well. Come on Chris, prove me wrong and collect $1,000! The clock is ticking!“

    He later continued:

    “This is the easiest way to explain to people why we could not continue with Chris. It’s only 1 of the many reasons and the most important. No band would ever allow someone to join there band if one of there members could not play the bands songs. It’s unnatural!!”

  • Metallica Guitarist Kirk Hammett Shares New Reading Of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”

    Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has shared a new reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.” You can check that out below. The band commented:

    “Just in time for Halloween, Kirk Hammett lends his voice to one of the most haunting poems ever written: Edgar Allan Poe‘s ‘The Raven.’ A lifelong devotee of horror, Kirk has spent decades collecting the art, posters, and artifacts of the genre’s golden age. Here he turns to the source, reading Poe‘s 1845 masterpiece about a grieving man, a midnight visitor, and a single word that won’t stop knocking. Pour something dark, turn the lights down, and listen.”
