    “KnuckleBonz® today announces an official collaboration with Exodus to bring the Bay Area thrash pioneers into KnuckleBonz360™ BackStage Experience, a first-of-its-kind immersive 3D digital platform launching October 2026.

    ‘I’ve seen a lot of strange things in 45 years of thrash, but walking around the 360 District next to a giant Goliath and a 3D version of myself is pretty cool. Fans are going to lose their minds when they check out this 3D world,’ says Gary Holt, guitarist of Exodus.

    KnuckleBonz360™ is a digital platform featuring immersive 3D worlds built to celebrate the iconic imagery of great bands and artists. With 20+ band worlds launching in 2026, KnuckleBonz360™ BackStage Experience gives fans a place to connect with other fans, play mini-games, shop for exclusive collectibles, explore and see album art come to life.

    ‘Exodus wrote the rulebook for Bay Area thrash, and more than four decades later the band still hits harder than anyone,’ says Tony Simerman, CEO and Creative Director of KnuckleBonz, Inc. He adds, ‘The first time our team watched Goliath stomp through the 360 District, the whole studio stopped working. Now fans get that same jolt, and they can stand face to face with Gary Holt in 3D.’

    The Exodus Experience in KnuckleBonz360 is developed by a team of incredibly talented artists, engineers and enthusiastic music superfans. The creators are also fans! Exodus fans worldwide can come together in KnuckleBonz360 to celebrate the band.

    Fans will enter the Exodus Experience and explore the world of the band that helped ignite the Bay Area thrash scene, from the pit-born violence of Bonded by Blood to the crushing weight of the band’s latest album, Goliath. Iconic Exodus album imagery comes to life across the experience, and Goliath himself occasionally roams the streets in the 360 District and towering over every fan in his path.

    Gary Holt joins the 360 District as a featured artist, rendered in 3D so fans can meet one of thrash metal’s most ferocious guitarists inside the platform.

    The Exodus Experience in KnuckleBonz360 will feature digital collectibles, physical collectibles including the KnuckleBonz Gary Holt statue, and merch that ships worldwide. This multi-player world allows Exodus fans to connect and explore together. The experience launches October 2026.”

  • Alice Cooper Guests On New Cody Jinks Song “Moving Mountains”

    Alice Cooper is featured on a new Cody Jinks song titled “Moving Mountains.” You can find a video for that track below:

    Jinks commented:

    “Who would have thought ‘Moving Mountains’ would turn into what it did? A simple concept for a song that turned into one of the coolest collaborations I’ll ever be a part of.”

    Cooper added:

    “Cody is an interesting guy. I really like him. He is a bit of an outlaw and outsider in my mind, but he’s first and foremost a really good songwriter. I kind of gravitated towards the idea of working together because we had these things in common. My character is also kind of an outlaw and definitely an outsider, but the music has always come first. We always make sure the songs are great. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to work with a country rock songwriter and Cody really fits in with that idea of quality accessible songwriting that still has a bit of an edge.”

  • GoFundMe Launched For Hunter Young (Moodring, PSYCHO-FRAME) Amid His Ongoing Health Issues

    As previously reported, Hunter Young (Moodring, PSYCHO-FRAME, etc.) is currently suffering from “ME/CFS, Dysautonomia, small fiber neuropathy, and more.” As such, a GoFundMe has now been set up to assist him with medical expenses.

    The following statement was issued:

    “This fundraiser has been created on behalf of Hunter Young.

    As many of you have heard, Hunter is struggling immensely with the debilitating medical conditions ME/CFS, Dysautonomia, and Small Fiber Polyneuropathy. Hunter was diagnosed 3 years ago and his health has significantly decreased since.

    ME/CFS has led to Hunter needing full time care (which he currently does not have) and being unable to work, especially these last few months, and he needs to secure housing. He currently spends an average of 23 hours a day in complete silence and darkness due to how much pain ME/CFS causes him. He has also lost 60lbs since July due to his inability to eat and digest food.

    Doing more can lead to significant indefinite worsening. After seeing multiple specialists over the years, he has been recommended IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) for the constant burning SFN causes. Due to being uninsured and having no insurance options he will get approved for at this time (Medicare/SSD), his expected treatment cost per year is approximately $100,000, on average $10,000 per treatment. Medical assistance programs are available, but only once treatment has begun.

    Hunter is trying to return to Florida to be closer to his friends and family, find an apartment, and begin treatment as soon as possible. The hope is that upon returning to Florida he can see the specialist he needs to, be in a safe environment, he can apply for medical assistance and hopefully any treatments will be successful enough to allow him to return to what he loves doing.

    We are asking for help with treatment costs and living expenses for the next couple months to give Hunter a head start on treatment and being able to financially breathe. Currently, without any financial help, Hunter will likely be out of money between treatment, medication costs, and living expenses within the next 2-3 months. Creating this fundraiser was not an easy decision, but he is running out of options.

    Any support is greatly appreciated and will assist with Hunter being able to live a comfortable and healthy life.

    At the very least it buys him some time to get the rest he has been quite literally begging for.”
