• Windwaker Premiere “dna” Video

    Windwaker have premiered a new video for their new song “dna.” This track is from the band’s new album, “smile, you’re on camera,” which will be released on October 23. The group commented:

    “‘dna’ explores a deeply internal struggle with identity, self-worth, and the feeling of being trapped by one’s own nature. The song reflects on emotional instability and the pressure of living up to expectations, while battling impulses, ego, and the fear of never truly changing. There’s a recurring tension between wanting growth and feeling stuck in destructive patterns, as if these flaws are hardwired into their ‘DNA.’ Another key theme here which is explored over the album is authenticity. References to ‘doing it for the likes’ and people ‘switching sides’ highlights disillusionment with superficial validation and fake personas, while the protagonist in this song tries to strip away ego and confront their true self.”

  • Blood Of The Earth Share Cover Of Ministry’s “Filth Pig”

    Blood Of The Earth (Thy Will Be Done, ex-Crowbar, etc.) have shared a cover of Ministry’s “Filth Pig.” That track is from the band’s new EP, “Beneath A Sky That Breaks,” which will be released on October 23. Vocalist J. Costa commented:

    “I’ve always loved ‘Filth Pig‘ and what Ministry were doing with that record. There’s a real sludge song buried in there that I think has flown under the radar, and we wanted to give it our own nod. We tracked group vocals for it and were lucky enough to have Afzaal Nasiruddeen (Crisis, Masters Ashes) and our dear friend Glen Ellis join us; two people who were part of the Chicago scene alongside Al Jourgensen in the ’80s. Having their voices on this track made it feel like we were connecting a little piece of that history to what we’re doing with Blood Of The Earth.”

  • Wargasm Premiere “Swallow” Music Video

    Wargasm have premiered a new video for their new song “Swallow.” The band commented:

    “From the immortal teaches of Peaches: ‘fuck the pain away.’ This is our soundtrack to mistakes and love in this hell of a century. You can feel good when you’re being bad. Human touch just to feel something. This is ‘Spit.’’s hot cousin. This is ‘Swallow.’”

  • Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn Finally Receives Apology From Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes Over 2013 VIP Comment

    Back in 2013, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes blasted Sleeping With Sirens singer Kellin Quinn for charging fans $80 for a VIP package. Now, in a new video for Bring Me The Horizon’s 2026 VIP package, Sykes officially apologized.

    Sykes said the following in 2013:

    “Next USA tour! Oli Sykes special polaroid package! Take a photo with me! Special price! Absolutely no charge at all! Fucking cockstars.”

    Quinn later defended the package:

    “My response

    I feel like this is an amazing deal for 80 dollars if you disagree then don’t buy it, no one is forcing you k?

    ‘Autographed Polaroid photo with Kellin
    Group Q&A session with Kellin
    Signing Session With Sleeping With Sirens
    Large Double-Sided Autographed Poster
    Early Entry Into The ‘Feel This’ Tour
    General admission ticket to the ‘Feel This’ tour’

    keep in mind Polaroid film is super expensive, your getting the ticket to the show, you get front row over anyone else.. If you only want to pay general admission then just do that. However, if you do like the idea of doing all these things included.. It’s ONLY 80 dollars.. I would never charge someone money for just a picture with me.. I try and do anything and everything for my fans.. I do in fact have a family, and that family needs to be fed.. So thanks for supporting us and helping me continue to tour.. Without you there is no us! Love you Kellin”

    Fast forward to 2026, Bring Me The Horizon have officially addressed the situation in a promo video:

    “Do you have more money than common sense? Then you instantly qualify for Bring Me the Horizon’s VIP package extravaganza. I know, I know, but you try paying for pyro with integrity. To be fair, as far as completely unnecessary purchases go, this one’s actually pretty fucking decent. You get access to the VIP room, packed with sacred relics dragged straight from the band’s touring history. Disgustingly exclusive merch you can’t get anywhere else. And the crème de la crème, a completely ridiculous limited edition VIP box set packed with even more exclusive shit, the BMTH VIP experience. Capitalism, baby. Go get it before your frontal lobe kicks in. Oh, and, uh, Kellin Quinn, your apology is in the post.”

    Singer Phil Mogg continued:

    “It did occur to me that if I wasn’t gonna be the greatest singer in the world, maybe I could do some singing with some really okay lyrics. I can’t do wizards and castles… So that seemed like the only way to go.”

    Carter added:

    “Knowing I would be writing was like someone gave me a rush of adrenaline. I wanted to write riffs, I wanted to write songs… I did some demos in my room, so when it came to ‘Mechanix’, I had some things to offer.”

  • Ghost Fans Rally To Support Mountain View Mausoleum

    Ghost fans have been raising funds to assist with restoration efforts at the Mountain View Mausoleum in Altadena, California. The band used that site as the filming location for their “Ministry” headquarters. It also served as the setting for various photos and videos, including a 2022 performance of “Call Me Little Sunshine” for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!.”

    Mystic Ministry, a fan-led group, have already raised $3,902.47 for recovery and preservation efforts. They will also be hosting three 20-person tours of the mausoleum on October 3. A portion of the proceeds will go towards fixing damage related to the Eaton fires. Fans can donate and purchase tickets HERE.

    Amati Avaul, founder of Mystic Ministry, commented:

    “Ghost has always been about more than the music. There’s this incredible world the band has created, and the fans don’t just watch it — we participate in it, build community around it and find ways to make it meaningful in our own lives. Mountain View became part of that world for us. Once you view the Mausoleum, read about its history, you realize it’s so much more than a filming location. It’s a rare and beautiful place, filled with history, artistry and memory, and places like that simply can’t be replaced. Mystic Ministry wanted to take the passion and creativity that exist in this fandom and turn them into something positive and tangible. If loving this band brought us to Mountain View, then helping preserve Mountain View — and showing some love to the community around it — feels like a pretty wonderful way to give something back.”
