Snot Offer Update On New Album: “The Writing Process Is Going Exceptionally Well”
Snot guitarist Mikey Doling has shared an update on the band’s upcoming album. According to him, “the writing process is going exceptionally well.”
Doling said the following:
“We’re currently working on a new SNOT album and the writing process is going exceptionally well or I should say fkn killer! Restarting the musical Snot engine isn’t as challenging as expected, the creativity is flowing effortlessly, like back in 1995! Its stankalicious funk, punk, and high-energy rock ‘n’ roll with sprinkles of what we used to call lounge jams
Andy Knapp’s impact and talent, on this album has been hi level, he’s crushing it.! Stepping into the great Lynn Strait’s role is virtually impossible, but Andy’s done it head first, professionally and with class and my god hes owning it big time.
Working with my brother the bass monster John Tumor Fahnestock offers a realistic perspective I need, he reals me in when im vering off the road, it’s always comforting working with ma bro Tumor!!
Jamie Miller what can I say… this dude is in Bad Religion and still makes time to do this album with us. Without Jamie it just wouldnt have the Snot feel and groove… love you my brother Jamie Miller, thank you for always standing with Snot!
We’re looking forward to so many great things to announce and I’m excited to eventually realese this album!!
Thanks for the support and love; it keeps me striving & thriving!”

Insidious Disease Finish Recording New Album
Insidious Disease (Dimmu Borgir, Napalm Death, etc). have finished the recording process for their new album. Guitarist Sven Atle Kopperud confirmed the news on the Everblack podcast.
Kopperud said the following:
“Well, yeah, I’ve been actually busy with the recording the new INSIDIOUS album the last few weeks. So that’s already done. We are just waiting for a few bits and pieces to start the mixing process of the album. So, that has also finally seen the light today. We’ve had the demos back and forth there as well for the last couple of — yeah, three, four years even now, three years since we did the vocal demos. So, the songs have been sitting there. We just wanted to wait for [producer] Russ [Russell], our good friend, to get healthy enough after his cancer stuff. And we wanted to do the whole production with Russ this time. Last time he only mixed the album, and this time we wanted to record everything with him in his studio. So, I’m really happy that we took the time to wait for that as well. And the result is gonna be another new slab of furiosity, I guess. Yeah, it’s gonna be a good one.”

Guitarist Andreas Kisser On The Possibility Of Sepultura Reuniting Following Their Farewell Tour: “I Don’t Rule Anything Out”
During an interview with Jaimunji of Metal On Tap, guitarist Andreas Kisser discussed the possibility of a Sepultura reunion following the completion of their farewell tour. Notably, he says he wouldn’t rule it out.
Kisser said the following:
“Dude, I don’t rule anything out. It’s irrelevant to say if [the retirement is] gonna be forever or we gonna be back. The important thing is that we’re gonna stop now. We need that rest, because we organize everything around that. We need our time — we need time to look in a different direction.
SEPULTURA is not gonna die. I mean, MOTÖRHEAD is more alive than… Unfortunately, we don’t have the touring, but MOTÖRHEAD will be together with us forever. So we’re gonna explore different territories and stuff. And the future, we’re gonna deal [with it] when it comes. I mean, possibilities are always open. I don’t think we have the power to do eight farewell tours, but who knows? [Laughs] I mean, you see [other bands who announced farewell tours before and then came back or kept touring, like] SCORPIONS, you see Ozzy [Osbourne], you see KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE and SLAYER and stuff. It’s okay to rest and to go out a little bit. It’s very healthy, because it shows that art is not really connected to any stereotype of what you should be in the eyes of others.”
He also confirmed that the group are still planning to put together a new live album:
“Yeah, we’re still making [it]. We’re still going places, recording. We have the new [SEPULTURA] EP that we are performing live as well, the new songs, et cetera. But this is something for next year. We’d like to stop everything we’re doing here, enjoy what we doing, the shows and everything. But we are recording, every show since [drummer] Greyson [Nekrutman] joined the band [in early 2024]. And we have a lot of material. And it’s gonna be an amazing project. We like to take our time as well to do something really special, like vinyl, like old-school KISS ‘Alive II’ type of vibe, with the photos and stuff like that. Very organic and going to the opposite direction of showing everything on the Internet.
I remember listening to live albums like MOTÖRHEAD or [IRON] MAIDEN or KISS and just imagining with the headphones being in the concert. And not even imagine to be on stage, but just there, because in Brazil we didn’t have shows and concerts. I mean, imagination, it’s such a powerful tool to create atmospheres and to fulfill and pursue your dreams. I was only imagining, and that stuff drove me to be where I am today. So I think we like to try to bring a little bit of that vibe back, since vinyl is back with full power. Who knew? I mean, vinyl was dead, completely, this thing of the past, and now it’s back with full power in times of artificial intelligence. So that’s a hope. This is something organic and human and more connected to something real.”

Cher Seeking Temporary Conservatorship Over Deadsy’s Elijah Blue Allman Once Again
According to TMZ, Cher is trying to get a temporary conservatorship over her son Elijah Blue Allman (Deadsy) once again. This news comes amid his stay in a psychiatric hospital following financial and legal issues and a recent medical emergency.
Cher claims Elijah’s life has “significantly deteriorated” since the last time she tried to get a conservatorship. She even detailed one incident in which he was discovered behind the wheel of a car in traffic. That situation saw him hospitalized and administered Narcan due to an overdose.
Cher also shared more details on Elijah’s financial issues. She says he spends his money “almost exclusively on drugs, expensive hotels, and limousine transportation.” He also allegedly owed a drug dealer $18,000 and had to be bailed out by a friend. On top of that, he reportedly has a $200,000 tax bill and debts from damaged Airbnbs. This includes $50,000 from his last stay. That incident also resulted in a lawsuit for his friend Kayti, who has been trying to keep him alive.
Cher also claimed Elijah has been removed from 18 hotels. He was booted from the properties after making guests feel uncomfortable, screaming obscenities, acting erratically, etc. One hotel also kicked him out after he allegedly cornered a young female maid and “aggressively proposed sexual relations.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Elijah was recently arrested twice in New Hampshire. One incident saw him charged with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail after breaking into a house. The other incident saw him charged with simple assault, criminal trespass, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct after “causing a disturbance and acting belligerently” at a prep school.
Cher wants a judge to name Jason Rubin as Elijah’s conservator so he can handle his estate. She says it needs to be done due to her son’s mental health and dependence on drugs. She believes Rubin can help Elijah in a way that will allow his issues to be “fixed one problem at a time.”

System Of A Down Drummer John Dolmayan Blasts Actress Charlize Theron Over Misattributed Quote Regarding Gender Identity
System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan, who has continued to face backlash over his right-wing views, has generated controversy yet again. The musician recently blasted actress Charlize Theron (“Mad Max: Fury Road”, “Long Shot”, etc.) over a statement she didn’t even make. The quote, which is actually attributed to actress Marcia Gay Harden (“Mystic River”, “Flubber”, etc.), said the following:
“What drives me is — my children are all queer. My eldest child is non-binary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid.”
Dolmayan then responded by targeting Theron without taking the time to fact check:
“This woman should be in an asylum or jail. These children are being mentally abused, statistically impossible!”
