  • Mikey “Bug” Cox Explains Coal Chamber’s Louder Than Life Cancellation

    Coal Chamber drummer Mikey “Bug” Cox has issued a statement regarding the cancellation of the band’s set at the 2026 Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, KY. The group scrapped the set as Cox undergoes what is believed to be his “final cancer surgery.”

    Cox said the following:

    “Please read I wanted to share a quick update!

    After months of scans, tests, and appointments, I’m beyond grateful to say that I passed all of my recent tests and finally got the green light from my doctors for what we hope will be my final cancer surgery.

    Because of that, Coal Chamber will be postponing our performance at Louder Than Life. While I’m bummed to miss it, this is the news my family and I have been fighting for, and I couldn’t be more excited to take this next step.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this long cancer journey. Your love, encouragement, and positive energy have meant the world to me.

    My focus now is on surgery, recovery, and getting back on stage with my Coal Chamber family as soon as possible. The future is looking bright, and I can’t wait to see you all again soon!

    Fuck Cancer!

  • Spiritbox Featured On New Track With SLANDER And Vastive “Under My Skin”

    SLANDER have recruited Spiritbox and producer Vastive for a new song titled “Under My Skin.” You can check that out below:

    SLANDER commented:

    “The time has come. ‘Under My Skin’ is finally here. The journey this song has been through is nothing short of an odyssey. We have played this song over the course of 3 worldwide tours at over 300 shows. It truly has been tested and has hit the mark.

    Getting to work with Spiritbox on this song was such an incredible experience. Their kindness, professionalism, skill, and passion was so refreshing. They gave the song so much intensity and light.. bringing it to new heights that were previously unimaginable. Also getting to watch Courtney scream in the studio is something we will never forget. The precision of her vocal performance during recording was astounding. Additionally we gotta big up Mike for adding some amazing riffs and insane guitar lead lines. We are over the moon about how this collaboration turned out and how well our sounds worked together.

    Lastly we give flowers to Vastive. He is an untouchable producer whose distinctive sound brought so much aggressive power to the song. We have known him for years, and he is not only one of the hardest working artists in our scene but also one of the nicest people to work with as well. His discography is deep and we encourage everyone to check it out. ‘Under My Skin’ is out now! More music is on the way soon! We love you!”

    Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante continued:

    “The song has been stuck in my head ever since hearing the first demo. I’m really excited for the SLANDER fans to hear the final version, because they’ve been hearing the demo version at SLANDER shows for a long time now!”

    Vastive added:

    “Doing my best to keep 3 years of an insane ride short, ‘Under My Skin’ is proof that good things come with patience and care. Spiritbox absolutely brought this song home and I think I speak for both SLANDER when I say, we couldn’t be any happier with the outcome and what it took to get to the finish line.”

  • The Warning Premiere “Ritual” Music Video

    The Warning have premiered a new video for their new song “Ritual.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Everything’s Falling,” which will be released on August 28.

    The group commented on the single:

    “‘Ritual’ is about the fear of losing something good. Even when life is going well, anxiety can convince you that disaster is right around the corner. It’s about getting trapped in those thoughts and letting them keep you from actually living in the moment.”

    They also added the following about the album:

    “‘Everything’s Falling’ is a snapshot of where we are in our lives right now. We’ve grown so much over the past few years, not just as musicians, but as people. This album reflects everything we’ve experienced, the lessons we’ve learned, and the challenges we’ve overcome. At its core, it’s about accepting that life can be messy and unpredictable. Things fall apart, plans change, and sometimes you lose your footing. But those moments can teach you the most about yourself, and they’re often what make you stronger in the end.”
