SIFYN, the project featuring former Veil Of Maya vocalist Lukas Magyar, have premiered a new video for their new song “Code.” This track is from their new EP, “Self-Encrypted,” which is set to be released on December 4. Magyar commented on the single:
“We can’t wait to see how people react to our new sound. ‘Code‘ is full of brilliant moments and I think our fans will agree. It’ll give everyone a glimpse of what is next for us.”
He also added the following about the EP:
“‘Self Encrypted‘ is an exciting collection. We packed a lot of substance into this body of work. I look forward to performing every track on this EP. It’s challenging and it’s emotional and energetic, but mostly it’s just a ton of fun.”
During an appearance on the BREWtally Speaking Podcast, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello discussed the possibility of more “Big Four” shows with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. He says he “would love to do it again” and that he’ll “put it out there.”
Bello said the following:
“I think the Big Four was a great thing you know? But again you compartmentalize it. It was that time. It was a really wonderful celebration that Metallica put together that so many fans came out to, and I thought it was a really beautiful thing, and I would love to do it again, I’ll put it out there. I will do it in a second because it was that kind of celebration. These triumphant amazing things like that — and look Back To The Beginning last year — you know that whole thing was just incredible. We’re very lucky
But these are you know these little parts of it, these are parts of your career, and they’re very big parts of the Big Four, Back To The Beginning are very very big parts for me especially. I just I feel like… it’s a celebration of what we’re doing and it’s like, wow, I still can’t believe we were able to be part of this you know?
As a guy from the Bronx, you know what I mean? A guy from the Bronx is lucky enough to be part of this stuff and that’s the way I feel. I’m humbled by it, but with respect to it, I said that it doesn’t end there. You have to keep going, because the next thing, it’s like a shark you have to keep swimming right? You have to keep swimming or you die, and I have no intention of stopping.”
Metallica have shared a recut live video for their song “Hardwired.” The band said the following about that:
“10 years ago today. Can you believe it? It’s been 10 years since that wild weekend in Minneapolis that started with the surprise announcement of ‘Hardwired…To Self-Destruct’ and ended with the live debut of ‘Hardwired.’ A newly recut video of ‘Hardwired’ from U.S. Bank Stadium, featuring live audio from the Deluxe Edition of the album, is up on our YouTube channel now.”
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) has shared a new video for a reimagined version of “Change Of Heart.” That track appears on “More Balls To Picasso,” a “revisited and reinvented” version of the singer’s 1994 album “Balls To Picasso.”
Dickinson commented:
“When we shot a video for ‘Tears Of The Dragon’ in Brazil last year, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to also shine a light on the song ‘Change Of Heart’. This song has always been very special to me with the wonderful new arrangement of it on the ‘More Balls To Picasso’ album, its message and power feels even more enhanced.
We used the William Blake painting because he devoted much of his work to the eternal tension between innocence and experience, freedom and spiritual enslavement, consciousness and alienation, and I’m very aware that my own work often deals with the same subjects. So having the young boy in the video, carrying that particular painting is a very deliberate choice. The child embodies that primal awareness, capable of seeing what adults have learned to ignore.”
Ghost have shared footage of “Umbra” from their new live film “2 Big To Rig.” That performance was captured on 16mm film during the band’s September 2025 shows at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico and it will be screened in standard and IMAX theaters for a limited time starting August 26.

Vocalist/guitarist Nathan Weaver commented:
“Our new LP ‘Estuary’ is set 1000 years in the future after the end of civilization. Survivors of a cataclysm wander the haunted ruins. It is a world of mutant creatures and open portals. Post-apocalyptic religion takes form in a wild landscape.
If wilderness overcame the cities in the future, the estuaries would be realms of power and magic. Within the album’s world-building, the estuaries are key nexus points where magic has taken on physical form. Spirits good and evil walk the earth.”
The Number Twelve Looks Like You have premiered a new video for their new song “Joy Is A Weapon.” The track, which features Foxy Shazam, is from the band’s new album, “Howls From The Holographic Heart,” which will be released on October 16.
The group commented on the single:
“Sometimes the most powerful act of rebellion isn’t fighting back, it’s finding joy any way possible and refusing to be broken.”
Frontman Jesse Korman also had the following to say about the album:
“This is a very honest album. We don’t want to live up to what everyone just expects of us, and at this point in our career, we have nothing to lose. For this album, we wanted to do what The Number Twelve Looks Like You does and write something that is just completely unexpected. I always try to write lyrics that capture the moment, so I continued that trend. If you just look back at every single album we’ve made, it’s just a timestamp of that time period, so ‘Howls From The Holographic Heart’ is just an extension of that. It’s a timestamp of the duration of seven years.”
Guitarist Alexis Pareja added:
“At the end of the day, we really choose our path and hopefully people enjoy it.”

01. “Trust Chaos”
