  • Ozzy Osbourne’s A.I. Avatar To Appear In Proto Luma Units

    As previously reported, the family of the late Ozzy Osbourne recently licensed his likeness for a new A.I. avatar created by HYPERREAL. Now, during a recent interview with Blabbermouth, the company’s CEO Remington Scott revealed that the digitized frontman will be displayed through Proto Luma “holoportation” devices in the U.K. and U.S. this summer.

    Scott said the following:

    “Every element of this avatar was built exclusively from authenticated, approved source material: curated, consented, and controlled by the people who love him most. This is a living performance, not a rendering; and it draws from nothing that wasn’t given willingly. We have the enthusiastic participation of Ozzy‘s family, and that changes everything about what this can be.”

    Proto Hologram founder David Nussbaum added:

    “It’s an honor to be trusted to bring one of true gods of rock back to the world to continue to connect with fans — thank you, Sharon and Jack! We wouldn’t do it if we didn’t know both of our company’s technologies will create an experience that truly extends Ozzy’s presence, his heart and soul, into the future.”

    Sharon Osbourne also commented:

    “The things that you can do with that are just endless.”

  • Dimmu Borgir Premiere “As Seen In The Unseen” Video

    Dimmu Borgir have premiered a new video for their new song “As Seen In The Unseen.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s newly released album “Grand Serpent Rising.”

    Vocalist Shagrath commented on the album:

    “‘Grand Serpent Rising‘ captures everything Dimmu Borgir has been and become – it’s darker, more brutal, yet melodic and diverse. It sums up all our phases; some songs are heavily inspired by our early years, while others push forward. We’ve made the album more dynamic, with orchestration used more deliberately. The result is a more intense and hard hitting record.”

    Guitarist Silenoz added:

    “With ‘Grand Serpent Rising‘, we deliberately revisited the spirit and atmosphere that shaped our identity in the early years. We wanted this album to feel like a journey through ruin, rebirth and transcendence. After all these years, the fire still burns stronger than ever – This album is both a reflection and a new awakening for Dimmu Borgir.”

  • Raunchy Premiere New Song “Frameworker”

    Raunchy have shared a lyric video for their new song “Frameworker.” That track will appear on the band’s upcoming album “Prisoner.” The group commented:

    “’Frameworker’ is about the unseen architecture of perception, tracing how language and ideology evolve from rudimentary expression into instruments that will both shape and constrain human understanding. What begins as raw sound becomes a coded script, programming the lens through which reality is interpreted. This song questions the constructs that draw the lines of thought, building invisible walls that define the world while quietly imprisoning the mind.”

  • No Cure Premiere “Convulsing In The Dark” Video

    No Cure have premiered a new video for their new song “Convulsing In The Dark.” This track is from the band’s new album, “It Is Going To Get Dark,” which will be released on July 10.

    Vocalist Blaythe Steuer commented on the single:

    “‘Convulsing In The Dark‘ brings our wide base of influences as a band into one song. It is the perfect taste of what is to come. The music video features full male nudity too, which is joyous, as Nick Chance‘s physical form was sculpted in the visage of a god. You are welcome for this divinely abundant opportunity to witness The Flesh Of The Chancellor.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “There is a deep malaise overhead as we are subjected to the way the world is turning. It is clear that things are getting worse, and there is no end in sight. This fixation combined with the gruelling touring lifestyle we’ve lived the past few years has resulted in the perfect first No Cure LP. We recorded this deep in the woods of Alabama between tours, and loss surrounded the band as it was being written.

    Despite the great shows and tours we’ve been doing, this has been a painful time for the band. Each song has purpose and it is critically important that we deliver a record that is worth listening to from start to finish. If you don’t see that it is going to get dark yet… you will soon.”

    “It Is Going To Get Dark” Track Listing:

    01. “When The Spasms Cease“
    02. “Oblivion Crusade“
    03. “Brain Matter Displacement” (feat. Jayway of Bayway)
    04. “Slowly Turning Blue“
    05. “Ironclad” (feat. Tyler Short of Inclination)
    06. “Starved In Sanctuary (My Hands Are In Your Chest Cavity)“
    07. “My World In Flames“
    08. “Convulsing In The Dark“
    09. “Shapen The Blade” (feat. Skyler Condor of Varials & CELL)
    10. “Purity Spiral” (feat. Vincent Bennett of The Acacia Strain)
    11. “I Am Still Fucking Straight Edge“
    12. “Everything I Love Is Dead Or Dying“

  • Sleeping With Sirens Premiere New Song “Paralyzed”

    Sleeping With Sirens have premiered a new song titled “Paralyzed.” This track is from the band’s new album, “An Ending In Itself,” which will be released on June 12. Vocalist Kellin Quinn commented:

    “‘Paralyzed’ is one of the heaviest songs on the new record. We had a blast making it and really leaned into the bands that shaped and inspired us growing up – artists like Thrice, The Used, and Haste The Day. It’s aggressive, emotional, and captures a side of us we’ve always loved exploring.”

  • Bret Michaels On Possible Poison Tour: “I Have A Great Feeling We’re All Going To Attempt To Make All Of This Work For 2027”

    Poison singer Bret Michaels has addressed the possibility of a 2027 Poison tour once again. The frontman says he has “a great feeling [they’re] all going to attempt to make all of this work.”

    Michaels issued a statement yesterday (May 21):

    “Recently, it has come to my attention that there have been some offers for Poison in 2027 and because I would be traveling to awesome Atlantic City tomorrow and Charles Town WV Saturday and both performing & with family over Memorial Day weekend, and out of respect to the other members in Poison to honor the weekend, I would kindly ask that all offers be discussed the week following Memorial Day, as it is a weekend for remembrance and, as I’m the son of a veteran and almost every member of my family have served or is currently serving, as well as the fact I’ll be traveling, that we all look to moving discussions of Poison 2027 to the following week which also gives time to see if I can move some of The BMB shows and special events that are already being contracted for 2027.

    As I’ve always said, I’m forever grateful and excited to see my other Poison band members for a reunion and put on a great show for the fans. But as everyone really knows, there is a lot of stuff to agree on and a lot of moving parts and schedules to discuss. I’m sure each member will have the respect to discuss this after Memorial Day weekend as we all know there is no chance to do a real, all-original members reunion if not all the original members are there, nor would we want to, nor would the promoters want it as Poison is nothing more than a name without the original C.C., Bobby, Rikki and myself giving 100% mind, body and soul. All members of Poison agreed that we will not perform as the name Poison without all four original members. As the fans know, Poison runs off of excitement, positive energy and real live music.

    I have a great feeling we’re all going to attempt to make all of this work for 2027.

    Yours truly,
    Lead Singer Long Texter Bret Michaels

    Stay tuned…

    PS – see you all in Atlantic City, NJ on Friday night and Charles Town WV on Saturday”

  • Aaron Lewis (Staind) To Release New Album Give My Country Back” In July

    Aaron Lewis (Staind) will be releasing a new album, titled “Give My Country Back,” on July 17. The effort’s title track can be found below:

    “Give My Country Back” Track Listing:

    01. “The Door”
    02. “Bad Thing To Be Good At”
    03. “Too High For This”
    04. “List Of Things To Quit”
    05. “Give My Country Back”
    06. “People I’ve Known”
    07. “Let Go Like The Rain”
    08. “A Showman’s Life:
    09. “Keeping Up With The Jonesin’”
    10. “Duct Tape And Bailin’ Wire”

    Lewis commented:

    “That’s life’s struggle right there. You are the master of your own destiny, and everything happens because of your actions — whether you want to admit it or not. Self-ownership is a huge thing to learn how to do in this life, and it’s always an internal battle.

    I actually care about the fact we have people we put in their positions, who are in no way, shape, or form doing anything in any way that is better for us.

    This is the perfect record for where I’m at right now. As you get older, you start realizing your time is coming to a close. I wasn’t living as cleanly as possible, so I quit drinking. I quit smoking cigarettes. I’ve done some kickboxing. I’m on a healthier routine, and I want to get better before I can’t. The realization that life is more than half over will get you to change, if you allow it. That’s where I’m at.

    My music is my life. Every one of those songs. If you listen to it all, you’ll probably know me better than I know myself.”
