It looks like Danny Elfman has been collaborating with Slash (Guns N’ Roses). Elfman recently shared a photo with the guitarist along with the following caption: “@slash is in the studio….what could we possibly be working on?.” This news comes after Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland previously revealed that he was contributing to Elfman’s new album.
The late Ozzy Osbourne is set to be honored with a lifetime achievement award at this year’s BRIT Awards. That event will take place at Co-op Live in Manchester, UK on February 28. The ceremony will also find singer Robbie Williams, guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and keyboardist Adam Wakeman paying tribute to Osbourne with a live performance of his song “No More Tears.” Stacey Tang, co-president of RCA Records and chair of this year’s BRIT Awards committee, said the following about the award:
“Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music. Possessing an unmistakable voice and unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed. This Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide.”
Vomitory have premiered a new video for their new song “For Gore And Country.” This track is from the band’s new album, “In Death Throes,” which will be released on April 10.
Drummer Tobias Gustafsson had the following to say about the new song:
“‘For Gore And Country‘ charges forward relentlessly just like the rotting hordes in the lyrics do. Starting off with a classic Vomitory grind, then diving headfirst into a total headbanging party, to then take off again into grind and D-beat turmoil. Oh wait! Another headbanging party towards the end of the song! For gore and country, we endure!”
He also added the following about the album:
“‘In Death Throes‘ picks up where ‘All Heads Are Gonna Roll‘ left off, but we’ve turned the intensity up a notch. [New guitarist] Christian [Fredriksson] quickly found his place and even contributed music to four killer tracks. These additions bring a bit of diversity to our sound without straying too far from the formula.”

As previously reported, Tomahawk are planning to reunite for a summer tour with Melvins. However, the band have since confirmed that this latest reunion will not include new music.
The group commented:
“As most of you know, today is our artist ticket presale for the upcoming tour dates. Just use the very creative password: FLASHBACK
We tried to keep tickets as affordable as possible for these shows. We know horrible fees get added as well. Sharing the stage with the Melvins makes this an even better deal. There will not be any other band on the bill.
To answer some of the questions we are getting, we will not be adding more cities to this run, we don’t hate your city, we don’t purposely avoid you and we sure as hell don’t hate Canada (we understand that our Canadian friends might not look forward to crossing the border these days, but we do have several shows not too far from you if you can stomach it). There is no new music planned. No meet and greets or any of that special package stuff. Oh and we are not taking song requests, thats not how concerts work.
We are all busy with other things and not as young as we used to be so we crammed as many dates into the period that we were all available. Our booking agent solicits offers and routes the dates based on the offers received. Believe it or not we don’t get offers from EVERY city.
As of this very moment, we do not have any other touring plans in 2026. However, we are in constant contact with our agents and working on our individual schedules to see if there is interest and we might have time to visit more of you, in other countries, in 2027. Stay tuned. Thank you for welcoming us back!
Tom A. Hawk”
