    According to a press release, the trek will help raise money for a number of causes:

    “In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is expanding that mission with the launch of its campaign to support Team USA and align with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 U.S. Tour will be allocated to support high-performance programs for U.S. athletes as they prepare for international competition.

    Founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary, while vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. ‘It’s a little-known fact that the United States is one of the only major countries in the world where the government does not fund Olympic and Paralympic athletes or their training programs’, says Bathory. ’Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.’ Vocalist Ivan Moody added, ’these athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.’

    All contributions will go to the National Governing Bodies responsible for training and developing Olympic competitors on both the Judo and USA Cycling BMX Teams. These contributions help fund essential resources for the athletes, covering coaching, travel, equipment, and the rigorous training required to compete on the world stage. With no direct government funding for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports, this initiative helps raise both financial support and awareness for the athletes who represent Team USA at the highest level. Five Finger Death Punch continues to stand at the intersection of music, and service, proving once again that success means nothing unless it’s shared.”

  • Poison The Well Premiere “Thoroughbreds” Music Video

    Poison The Well have premiered a new video for their new song “Thoroughbreds.” This track is from the band’s newly announced album, “Peace In Place,” which will be released on March 20.

    Vocalist Jeffrey Moreira said the following about the band’s return:

    “Joining Poison The Well at 18 and chasing music shaped how I approach life. Coming back 16 years later — unsure if I could still do what I once left behind — only reinforced how strong our bond is and how much this band has given me. I’m grateful to do this again with my friends, and to share a record made with honesty, intention and connection at its core.”

    He went on to discuss the single:

    “Beasts of burden are hard to break — not because they’re strong, but because they’re stubborn. ‘Thoroughbreds’ is about realizing that some lifelong bonds don’t fail early; they fail after you believed they were there to stay.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “‘Peace In Place’ is probably the most pissed record we’ve ever made. After stepping away from Poison The Well, it felt like all the emotion from that time — frustration, heartache, disappointment — compressed into something heavy and unavoidable. But anger isn’t what drives us. Connection is. Sometimes that connection starts in darker places, and having an outlet for those emotions is how we find our way forward. This record lives across that entire spectrum. It’s about turning something negative into something honest, putting it into the world, and realizing that even in anger, we’re still capable of moving forward, relating to each other, and finding some form of peace — if not happiness, then at least a place to stand.”

  • Bound In Fear To Release New Album “A Mind Too Sick To Heal” In March, Premiere “Three Knee Deep” Video

    “A Mind Too Sick To Heal” Track Listing:

    01. “The Line That Separates“
    02. “Three Knee Deep“
    03. “Soul Casket“
    04. “A Mind Too Sick To Heal“
    05. “Sentenced“
    06. “Chasm“
    07. “Darkness Redefined“

    10. “It Never Could Anyway“

    12. “Lurking“

    The group commented:

    “This is a crushing statement of intent. Our signature suffocating blend of down-tempo brutality and taste of emotional uncomfortable torment that pushes the boundaries of what we have done before. This is our most punishing and personal album yet. A visceral descent into darkness that won’t loosen its grip.”

  • Tom Morello Calls Out Trump Administration Over Use Of A “Nazi Mass Murder Slogan”

    Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has blasted U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Trump administration for using a “Nazi mass murder slogan.” The phrase, “one of ours, all of yours,” was displayed on a podium during a press conference on the ICE shooting of Renee Good.

    Morello said the following:

    “BREAKING: Today the Trump admin quoted the Nazi mass murder slogan, “One of ours, all of yours.” Coined when an SS officer was killed and the Nazis murdered every male resident of the village in response. If there are any MAGA left after THIS, you have made an irrevocable choice.”

    He later added:

    “Kristi Noam, Nazi slogan on podium today. “One of ours, all of yours.” WW2 SS officer killed, Nazis retaliated—One of ours, all of yours. The Victims:

    • Men: Over 170 shot on the spot; others later executed in Prague.
    • Women: Roughly 200 were deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where many died.
    • Children: Most were separated from their mothers; 82 were gassed at the Chełmno extermination camp. A few deemed “racially pure” were taken for “Germanization” by SS families.
    • The Obliteration: The village was burned, buildings were dynamited, and the area was bulldozed and replanted to literally erase it from the map.

    YOU VOTED FOR THIS??”

    A representative for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security responded via Billboard:

    “Calling everything you dislike ‘Nazi propaganda’ is tiresome. DHS will continue to use all tools to communicate with the American people and keep them informed on our historic effort to Make America Safe Again.”

  • Vicious Rumors Premiere “Abusement Park” Music Video, Announce Tour

    Vicious Rumors have premiered a new video for their song “Abusement Park.” This track is from the band’s latest album “The Devil’s Asylum.”

    Guitarist Geoff Thorpe commented:

    “In your face! Catchy riffs! Blistering solos, with a heavy metal and punk rock attitude! The new Vicious Rumors single ‘Abusement Park’ from ‘The Devil’s Asylum’ album has the band at the top of its craft! The idea of a nightmare theme park gone horror that is ‘Abusement Park’ came together during a recording session for the new album with me and Jimmie Evans. ‘Abusement Park’ is the fourth single from our current album ‘The Devil’s Asylum.’

    The song is one of many standout tracks on the album. Filmed on location in Germany, Sweden, Florida and Kentucky and edited by Ingo Spörl. We thought this song had great potential with its machine gun guitars and kick drums with a melodic and harmony filled chorus in true Vicious Rumors style…after being forced to push back the tours due to my broken shoulder the guys and I are looking forward to getting the band back on the road. So come and celebrate Heavy Metal with us performing classics, deep cuts and new album tracks live worldwide in 2026.”
