  • Space Of Variations Premiere “Parallel Realities” Video

    Space Of Variations have premiered a new video for their new song “Parallel Realities.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Poisoned Art,” which will be released on February 13. The group commented:

    “‘Parallel Realities’ was meant to be the first single from ‘Poisoned Art,’ yet it became the last one before the album’s release. This song captures the final moment before the end — when fear fades, meaning becomes clear, and hope survives in the belief that we’ll find our loved ones in another life.”

  • Twisted Sister Guitarist Jay Jay French On Cancelled 50th Anniversary Reunion Shows: “We Had No Other Choice”

    Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French has further commented on having to cancel the band’s 50th shows due to singer Dee Snider’s health issues. According to him, the group “had no other choice.”

    French said the following:

    “Today [February 7] is the actual 50th anniversary of the day that Dee auditioned in the band. 1976. Here’s the diary entry. ‘Danny Snider’ — he wasn’t Dee yet — ‘auditions for TWISTED SISTER’, February 7th, 1976.

    For the last 50 years, me and [TWISTED SISTER guitarist] Eddie [Ojeda] have stood side by side with Dee, not with hundreds of shows, but with thousands of shows.

    You know the cliché in sports, when a great sportsman retires, they say he left it on the field. Well, I can tell you when it comes to Dee, he left it on the stage. He gave everything his all, and his body is now telling him, ‘I can’t give you anymore.’ And when someone tells you that, you have to accept it and you have to move on. So please understand this was a tough decision, but we had no other choice but to cancel these dates.

    As far as the future of TWISTED SISTER is concerned, Eddie Ojeda and I will have conversations in the next couple of weeks to discuss what, if any, options exist for us to continue.

    Until then, just know that the SMFs [an abbreviation for ‘Sick Mother Fucker’, which is what TWISTED SISTER fans are affectionately called] around the world are the thing that kept us alive and kept us going, and we love you guys and we will do everything we can to always live up to your expectations as fans, ’cause nobody understands fandom more than us. We appreciate everything that you’ve ever done for us and hopefully we’ll see you again in the future. Thank you.”

  • Masterplan Premiere “Chase The Light” Video

    Masterplan, the project featuring former Helloween guitarist Roland Grapow, have premiered a new video for their new song “Chase The Light.” This track will appear on the band’s new album, “Metalmorphosis,” which will be released on June 26.

    Grapow commented on the song:

    “[It’s] a dark and aggressive track about fear, control, and a world that feeds on pain. It shows how power rises while compassion fades, trapping people in silence and despair. The song pushes through chaos and suffering toward release — a call to break free, heal old wounds, and reclaim your strength.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “‘Metalmorphosis’ really captures what this album means to us: a transformation, but still true to the spirit of Masterplan. We’ve grown over the years, both as musicians and as people, and you can hear that in the new songs. Some ideas go back many years, and now they’ve finally come to life. It’s powerful, melodic, and emotional — classic Masterplan, but with a new energy”.

    “Metalmorphosis” Track Listing:

    01. “Chase The Light”
    02. “Electric Nights”
    03. “Shadow Man”
    04. “Bound To Fall”
    05. “Pain Of Yesterday”
    06. “Metalmorphosis”
    07. “Through The Storm”
    08. “Ghostlight”
    09. “The Call”
    10. “Rise Again” (album version)

  • Ex-Mushroomhead Singer Jeffrey Nothing Reaches Settlement With Drummer Steve “Skinny” Felton In Case Over Unpaid Royalties

    Former Mushroomhead singer Jeffrey Lewis Hetrick (aka Jeffrey Nothing) has reached a settlement with the band’s drummer Steve “Skinny” Felton. This news comes after he filed a lawsuit against Felton over copyright infringement and unpaid royalties.

    The follwing was said about the settlement:

    “The parties have settled their disputes, and this action is hereby dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a), the parties to bear their own attorney fees, expenses and costs incurred herein. The parties expressly agree that this Court shall retain jurisdiction over any action for breach or enforcement of their settlement agreement.”

    Hetrick also commented:

    “As a lot of you know, there has been an ongoing lawsuit between myself and my former band. I’m happy to report that the situation is settled and over.

    From here out, there will be nothing negative about Mushroomhead or Skinny on my page. He came to the table amicably and honorably and we found a solution that made both of us happy.

    Skinny and I founded Mushroomhead and it’s great to see the fanbase and community it has built. I’m proud of that and I know he is. Mushroomhead is his and I wish him the best. My creative baby is now my solo work. Will I ever work with Shroom again? Time will tell. I’m not against it. But I have no ill feelings either way. I want everybody to win.

    Thank you all for your years of support and for having my back when it was needed, but from here on out it’s nothing but positivity in that direction. I said I was done with drama and I meant it. Love you guys!”

  • Kid Rock Denies Lip Syncing At “The All-American Halftime Show”: “It Was Out Of Sync”

    As previously reported, fans recently accused Kid Rock of lip syncing during Turning Point USA’s “All-American American Halftime Show.” However, he has since denied the allegations, claiming it looked off because the performance “was out of sync.”

    Rock said the following during a recent appearance on The Ingraham Angle:

    “It was out of sync. And actually, just to have some fun with the haters — I can’t answer all the trolls, but it’s gonna be some fun. My DJ, who actually raps that song with me, he was not lit up. He’s coming to Nashville tonight, flying in, and we’re gonna do that live in my living room and I’m gonna post it tomorrow to show people exactly how this works. Because #1: if it would have been a lip syncing like people are trying… you know, the left is trying to throw me under the bus again, the mainstream media and social media tries to amplify it.

    It would have been super easy to sync it up, if it was pre-recorded. It was very difficult for the Turning Point production crew — who by the way I can’t say enough good things about — but was very difficult for them. I’m jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I’m taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it — I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, ‘You guys got to work on that sync. It’s off.’ So it was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult.

    But I’ll answer all the haters tomorrow and we’ll put ’em back in the shut up and go back to trying to report the fake news.”

    Notably, the lip syncing accusation wasn’t the only controversy. Turning Point USA, who put the show together for the MAGA crowd protesting Bad Bunny and Green Day’s Super Bowl performances, claimed it was an “American faith, family and freedom” event. However, many found that label to be hypocritical due to Rock’s past lyrics about underage girls.

  • Death Ray Vision Condemn Guitarist Christopher Rosati’s Alleged Ties To Patriot Front

    Death Ray Vision guitarist Christopher Rosati has been accused of having ties to the white nationalist and neo-fascist group Patriot Front. Vocalist Keith Bennett has since responded to the allegations, saying the band “had no idea about any of this.”

    Bennett said the following:

    “Hey, what’s up? My name is Keith. I’m a singer for Death Ray Vision, and I’m making this to address the situation that evolved over the last couple of days with our guitar players involvement with the Patriot Front. First of all, fuck the Patriot Front. Fuck fascism, fuck Nazis, fuck racism, fuck the Patriot Front.

    We had no idea about any of this. We did not cosign, we did not condone, we did not enable, and we weren’t hiding anything within our ranks because we didn’t fucking know. It sucks. It came out of fucking nowhere.

    But for anybody who gives a fuck, because obviously we’re not Metallica, but We’re all human beings who have to get painted by the same brush. So for anybody who’s listening, anybody who gives a fuck, I know that the band is making their own statement today, but I can speak for everybody. We’re not about that bullshit. No fucking way.

    For accountability, I had a past that was part of that world, and I left that far fucking behind. I can speak with confidence saying that that is not who I am today. It’s not who I’ve been for a long fucking time, and I still regret that bullshit.

    I hope everybody has a good day. Fuck the Patriot front. Stay free. Bye.”

    The band added:

    “Keith said it best in this video. In solidarity, we are reposting his eloquent words. For anyone who is still uncertain about how we feel: DRV does not support Fascism, Racism, or ANY Nazi ideology. These abhorrent views do not have anything to do with who we are and what we believe in. Fuck The Patriot Front”
