A.A. Williams Premieres “The Veil” Music Video
A.A. Williams has premiered a new video for her new song “The Veil.” You can check that out below. The track is from her latest album “Solstice.”
Williams commented:
“’The Veil’ was always a bit of an outlier on ‘Solstice,’ being the only stripped-back track on the record. A simple song, a song of trying your hardest, a song of yearning for change, a resignation to failure.
This video matches the song’s softness perfectly. It has a dreamlike quality that re-centres the meaning of the song for me, creating a hazy memory of a distant struggle. A gentle treatment of sorrowful moments, the delicately flowing material emphasises the vulnerability of the text with simple, quiet beauty.”
Director Jake Owens added:
“The concept for the video came to me the first time I heard ‘Solstice,’ something about this track jumped out as having potential for a cool music video. The pace of the song informed my idea that the video should be slow motion, with lots of dramatic movement from the various fabrics.”

Superhumn CEO Jade Cheng Has Filed A Defamation Suit Against Falling In Reverse’s Ronnie Radke
According to California Post, chef and Superhumn CEO Jade Cheng has filed a lawsuit against Falling In Reverse’s Ronnie Radke. She made the move in response to an alleged defamation campaign that the frontman launched after accusing her of scamming him out of $220,000 for a Hollywood Hills rental.
Radke made a series of accusations about Cheng. This includes a claim saying she “has transitioned from a Thai Boy to woman” and that he even has “information about her medical or gender history.” He also claimed she had chlamydia and was a “scam artist escort” who has a history of fraud.
He allegedly made threats as well. This includes claims suggesting that the feds were coming for her. He reportedly got more personal too, saying “we’re coming for you” and “you’re going to get it.”
Radke’s tirade came about after he took issue with the $3 million mansion he rented. The property was allegedly dirty with scattered trash, filthy mattresses, a red solo cup containing vodka, etc. He was also said to have accused Cheng of creating the mess.
For her part, Cheng has denied his assertions, while taking legal action for libel, slander and emotional distress. The following was said in her filing:
“Cheng’s defamation claim is focused on four categories of accusation, that Cheng had chlamydia, was a sex worker, a criminal, or that Cheng stole Radke approximately $220,000 payment.”
Cheng is now seeking general and compensatory damages. An exact amount is unknown.

09. “Travel In Stygian”Guitarist and noted insurrectionist Jon Schaffer said the following about the reissue:
“‘Stormrider’ was a big step forward for Iced Earth. It was the second album that we had done on 24-track, 2-inch tape. I’m really stoked to hear this new mix by Zeuss. He really did a great job. We were on a really tight budget back in those days, and this is a very complex and intense record. It really benefits from this new mix. There is a whole new level of detail and life in the drums and bass guitar. John [Greely]’s vocals have never sounded better on this record. It’s the pinnacle of audio quality and packaging to date for this classic record. I think the die-hards will dig this.”

M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan On Slipknot’s Upcoming Album: “I Don’t Think People Are Ready For What We’ve Created”
During an interview with Rock Sound, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan discussed the band’s new album. The percussionist says he “[doesn’t] think people are ready for what [they’ve] created.”
Clown said the following:
“Now, here we are at album eight, and I can promise you, album eight’s coming out. What I can say officially is we’ve written so many songs as of right now. We have so many songs that Corey [Taylor, vocals] has sung on for rough demos. We had not foreseen what has happened, which is effortless recording and fun.
Everyone in the band wants to jam and bring music. Eloy [Casagrande, drums] is forcefully feeding the machine, and when you do that with old dogs, they smile and just want to jam.
So technically, I guess we could have a ninth too. We could have a double album. I’m not telling you we’re doing that. I’m just telling you, number eight’s coming out. We’re off all the bullshit. No one’s telling us what to do anymore. We do exactly what we want. We always have, but now it’s so easy. We don’t have any resistance. I don’t think people are ready for what we’ve created because even we are saying we’ve gone to another level.
This new one is probably going to take people a little time because it’s long songs and definitely a musician’s album.”
