  • KnuckleBonz Partner With Late Metallica Bassist Cliff Burton’s Estate For 3D Immersive Museum

    KnuckleBonz have announced a partnership with the estate of late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. The new collaboration will include a 3D immersive museum.

    Further details were shared in a press release:

    “KnuckleBonz® today announces an official collaboration with the Cliff Burton Family Estate to bring the Cliff Burton Museum to the KnuckleBonz360™ BackStage Experience, a first-of-its-kind immersive 3D digital platform launching Summer 2026.

    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, and explore as iconic album art and imagery come to life!

    Developed in close collaboration with the Cliff Burton Family Estate, the museum is a dedicated space inside KnuckleBonz360 built to celebrate Cliff’s life, his artistry, and his enduring influence as one of the most revered bassists in heavy music.

    Fans will walk through Cliff’s story, from his Bay Area roots to the imagery of live performances that shaped generations of metal musicians and fans, presented with the care his legacy deserves.

    ‘Cliff Burton redefined the role of the bass guitar in thrash, and his influence is stronger than ever. Building the Cliff Burton Museum inside KnuckleBonz360 is our way to pay tribute to the brilliance of Cliff, and to give fans everywhere a place where his legacy lives on 24/7, 365 days a year,’ says Tony Simerman, CEO and Creative Director of KnuckleBonz, Inc.

    ‘Cliff’s music and spirit continue to inspire fans around the world, and our family is proud to celebrate his legacy in this way. Working with KnuckleBonz to bring Cliff’s story to life inside the Cliff Burton Museum means so much to us, and we know fans everywhere will feel his presence in this space,’ says the Cliff Burton Family Estate.

    This collaboration continues a relationship that began with the Cliff Burton Rock Iconz® Limited Edition Statue, created with the Estate in 2022 with a portion of proceeds supporting the Cliff Burton Music Scholarship Fund for Rising Youth Musicians.

    The Cliff Burton Museum brings that same craftsmanship into a living 3D world where fans can explore the instruments, imagery, and moments that defined one of metal’s most influential figures.

    The KnuckleBonz360 store will feature select licensed, limited edition digital collectibles as well as a new hand-crafted physical collectible of Cliff Burton that will be released later this year and will ship worldwide. This multi-player world allows fans to connect and explore together. The Cliff Burton Museum Experience launches
    Summer 2026.

The drums and basic tracks were done at Slave Pit in Richmond, Virginia, and the whole process took about three months.

    GWAR were, and are, an amazing combination of artistic freedom, absurdity, and hard work bundled up with metal and performance. Loved them then, love them now.”

  • Queens Of The Stone Age Share Music Video For “Easy Street” Featuring Nikki Lane

    Queens Of The Stone Age have teamed up with Nikki Lane for a new song titled “Easy Street.” You can find an official video for that track below. Frontman Josh Homme commented on the single:

    “It’s kind of a funny song. It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny. You’re serious, but it’s funny. We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake. It’s not just about silliness. It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”

  • Crown Magnetar Premiere “Godkiller” Video

    Crown Magnetar have premiered a new video for their new song “Godkiller.” This track is from the band’s new album, “The Hollowing Of Godflesh,” which will be released on September 25.

    Vocalist Dan Tucker commented on the song:

    “‘Godkiller‘ is all gas. It’s basically the equivalent of driving a bulldozer into Hell. Still very Crown Magnetar, but focused through a death metal intensity and a great tone-setting track to introduce our new record, ‘The Hollowing Of Godflesh.‘”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “‘The Hollowing of Godflesh‘ is the most complete representation of Crown Magnetar we’ve ever put together. We pushed every aspect of our songwriting further without losing the intensity and rawness that defines the band. We wanted to take what people expect from us and push it further by adding more atmosphere, bigger moments, and even more aggression without sacrificing anything. You’ll hear it in the insane riffing of new guitarist Rob Maramonte, who has spent time as a member of Fallujah and The Zenith Passage, as well as performed live with Thy Art Is Murder and All Shall Perish.

    ‘The Hollowing of Godflesh‘ is a highly sharpened version of Crown Magnetar. It delivers unrelenting brutality and is sure to please old and new fans alike.”

    “The Hollowing Of Godflesh” Track Listing:

    01. “Gun Eater“
    02. “Desecrate Infinite“
    03. “Domination“
    04. “Impaled Genesis“
    05. “The Hollowing Of Godflesh“
    06. “Godkiller“
    07. “Shut Up and Bleed“
    08. “Torture Engine“
    09. “Sculptures Of Suffering” (feat. Flesh Carving)
    10. “Dead Crown“

  • Frozen Soul Cancel August North American Tour

    Frozen Soul have cancelled their North American tour with Bodybox, Maul, and Eternal. The trek was scrapped as the band continue to deal with “some devastating losses in [their] families.”

    Guitarist Chris Bonner commented:

    “Chris from Frozen Soul here.. we have never canceled a tour before in our existence as a band but recently we have suffered some devastating losses in our families and we made the difficult decision to cancel our August tour next month. As some of you may know our singer Chad sadly lost his father in May when we were on tour and this past Friday July 10th our drummer Matt’s father unexpectedly passed away as well.

    Loosing a parent is one of the hardest things to go through in life.. We gave it the weekend to discuss moving forward with the tour but right now we decided it would be best to take some extra time off to be with our family’s and help navigate these terrible losses.. we hope everyone understands. Hug your friends and family a little tighter and tell them you love them every chance you get.

    The show this coming Saturday @Division Brewing is still happening and we have one more tour to announce for later this year so keep a lookout and we will see yall soon! 💙”
