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 have announced that they will be releasing a new album, titled “A Mind Too Sick To Heal,” on March 13. A video for “Three Knee Deep” from the effort can be found below:
“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“

07. “Darkness Redefined“
08. “Scum“
09. “Headcase“
10. “It Never Could Anyway“

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.”
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.”
“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 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.”

During a recent interview with Rock Feed, Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack discussed the band’s uocoming album. According to him, “this record is what you might call a darker or heavier record.”
Biersack said the following about the group’s latest single “Certainty”:
“A lot of times I think this happens, and I don’t know why it is. We do the whole record and then we feel like there’s a missing song. And this was the quote-unquote missing song. Jake [Pitts, guitar] and I did this song. Jake had an idea; he sent it to me. I wrote on it. We tracked it. It was one of those everything-came-together — bam, bam, bam — very quick sort of songs, ’cause we knew exactly what we wanted to do. And I knew lyrically what I wanted to say with it. And so it came together really quickly, and it was the last song for the record. Everything else had already been recorded. And it just felt like a real sort of mission statement for the album — from a lyrical perspective, from the musical perspective.”
He also commented on the band’s decision to self-produce their new album:
“This record is one that we’ve made on our own. Obviously, we have a label and we’re very supported by that label, and we were very fortunate to be in that position. But when it came down to it, this record was primarily made here in Florida by the band. Jake and I produced it. And it’s the kind of record that we wanted to make without any other cooks in the kitchen. And I think it’s really representative of where we’re at as a band.”
He also added the following when asked about the strong fan response:
“Well, it’s fantastic. I think we’re the kind of band that, for better or for worse, people don’t necess[arily]… There’s a version of the band that people have in their mind, most of which is primarily based on maybe when they first heard the band or what they think of the band. A lot of people who don’t even know what the band sounds like have a version of the band in their mind, so it’s been very interesting, having made this record on our own, very much committed sonically to the style that we wanted to pursue, playing these festivals and having people discover the band through these songs that maybe didn’t otherwise give it a shot beforehand.
We’ve talked about this before. We’re kind of the little engine that could in that way. A lot of people dismiss the band outright, don’t really know what we sound like, sort of associate an image that they saw in their mind of like 2010, of us looking like MÖTLEY [CRÜE] or whatever, which is fine. That’s part of our history, but they don’t really necessarily know what it is that we do. And so it’s been fun to kind of — I guess in some ways so far these songs seem to have kind of snuck up on people in a way. And it’s fun to surprise people this many years into our career with, tonally, what we do because people hear the singles and primarily the singles from records were sometimes outside your control, but they’re the big anthem songs. So people’s assumption is that the totality of our records, if they’ve never dug into the catalog, is 12 songs that sound like ‘Fallen Angels’ on every record or ‘In The End’ or whatever else. And while I love those songs, that is much less representative of the totality of our catalog as opposed to like things that are much more kind of guitar-oriented and heavy. And certainly moving forward, this record is what you might call a darker or heavier record in that way.”

During a recent appearance on “Painful Lessons: Punk Rock Sober“, Jack Osbourne revealed that his late father Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath raised less than $10 million for charity during their farewell show in Birmingham, UK. This news comes after his mother Sharon previously said the reports of $190 million raised were inaccurate and that the real number was about $11 million.
Jack said the following:
“The number was complete bullshit. This is how you know the news is probably 90% bullshit, ’cause it was, like, CNN and New York Times was saying ‘Ozzy raised $150 million.’ And it wasn’t that. I think what it came down to was, like, when all was said and done, because it was a charity gig, you still have to pay for the actual gig. No bands got paid, and most of the crew donated their time. But I think when all said [was] and done, each charity got, like, one and a half or two million pounds [approximately $2.7 million] each. So, it was, I think, six or seven million pounds [approximately $9.4 million]. That’s what was donated to the three charities. I mean, we would’ve loved it if it was hundreds of millions. We would have been, like, ‘Fuck yeah.’”
During a recent appearance on Lipps Service With Scott Lipps, Cro-Mags frontman Harley Flanagan was asked about the possibility of a classic lineup reunion. He responded by saying he has “always been open to any kind of communication.”
Flanagan said the following:
“For whatever it’s worth, man, I’ve always been open to any kind of communication with any of those guys about whatever, and always have been. But sometimes people just get so dug in on shit that they lose sight… Honestly, I can’t say that fans really would give a fuck about me playing with any of those guys again at this point, because we’re doing well, we’re touring a lot, life is great, but if the fans really wanted it, and more so if those guys ever wanted to give those fans what they wanted, I’m always open for the conversation. Because at the end of the day, as a musician, you’re an entertainer, right? I mean, that’s what you’re getting paid to do, is to make people feel good or get some steam off or whatever that emotion is — that’s your job. So if that means that you gotta get on stage and do that, and you know you can do it with these guys and people are gonna be super pumped, then what the fuck, man? I mean, I just don’t see the big fucking deal [of] just playing with people that you may not necessarily love just for the sake of, you wanna make fans happy, you wanna make people happy. But fortunately for me, I feel like I’m doing that right now any goddamn way.”
He also reflected on a 2012 incident in which he was arrested and charged with attacking members of the Cro-Mags during the CBGB Festival in New York:
“I talk about it in the film [the recently released ‘Harley Flanagan: Wired For Chaos’ documentary, which charts his tumultuous life and survival] pretty extensively. I don’t think I can ever say I’m good with it now, ’cause how do you get good with getting set up by people that you know and assaulted.
We don’t gotta get into the entire thing. I went to go see my old singer [John Joseph] who at the time was playing under the name CRO-MAGS. It was illegal; they weren’t supposed to be using the name. Whatever. Longer story, irrelevant. I went to go see the show. Some part of my brain thought that I would see these guys and there would be some rekindling of the bromance. They’d be, like, ‘Oh, really? You fucking asshole. Ah, fuck you too. Ah, come on. You wanna come up and play a couple [of songs]?’ Some fucking dumb part of me was, like, ‘Come on, man.’ We used to fucking live in squats together, man. We used to have to fucking shoplift food together. We were fucking homeless kids… Anyway, so I was, like, ‘All right.’ I went. And ironically, I was texting the woman who’s now my wife on my way there, like, ‘Do you think I should go? I’m thinking about going. There was this whole series of texts, and I was, like, ‘Yeah, yeah, fuck it. I’ll go.’ And I actually got put on the guest list… So, anyway, I go. I have tickets. And everybody knew I was coming. And I got invited backstage, and the fucking door got pulled shut, and I got jumped by a room full of people. And I heard a lot of different things that were happening inside that room before I went in from different people, but it’s all hearsay. I’m not witness to it, so I’m not gonna repeat what other people told me. It doesn’t matter anymore. What the end outcome was, I wound up getting like 40-something stitches. I got stuck with something. I put three guys in the hospital. And then it just turned into this whole thing where they all started accusing me of going in there and attacking everybody, which was complete and total fucking nonsense.
“[Eventually the case] got thrown out, [but] I did go to Rikers Island [New York City’s notorious jail complex], and that’s where things got kind of weird because that’s where my old singer was going in the New York Post and all these different newspapers and saying a lot of, basically… I get really uncomfortable even talking about this shit. Like, [he was] basically putting a fucking target on my ass, calling me a snitch, saying I’m a skinhead, I’m a racist, I’m this, I’m that, all kinds of shit that in any kind of a lockup situation would possibly get you fucked up by someone who totally just wants to get some credibility. And it was not cool, man… This big black dude comes in my cell and throws the paper on my bed and says, ‘[Is] that you?’ And I’m reading all this shit and I’m, like, ‘Wow.’ And I’m just shaking my head, like smirking to myself, just like, ‘This motherfucker. Unbelievable.’ So I can’t say I’ll ever be good with it.”
He also added that he ended up spending about “10 days” at Rikers Island:
“It wasn’t shit,” he explained. “But I was having a hard time raising bail, and I was looking at up to three years for nothing. So it was a very unnerving minute, especially with all that shit in the papers, because I was, like, ‘Somebody’s gonna try to do some shit,’ whatever, whatever. Anyway, it doesn’t matter. This shit’s old news. I’m kind of past all that, the experience, but that shit bothers me. It does. It does bother me that things had to come to that, that somebody would pull some shit like that.”
All That Remains have officially recruited Ken Susi (ex-Unearth, ex-As I Lay Dying) as their new guitarist. He will be taking over for Jason Richardson (ex-Born Of Osiris, etc.), who exited the band last year.
Susi commented:
“I’m incredibly honored to be joining All That Remains as their new guitarist. My connection to this band goes back to the late ’90s, when I first met Mike, Oli and Phil at underground shows in Western Massachusetts. Those early days shaped so much of who I am, and coming back together now truly feels full circle.
I’m also deeply honored to step in for my late friend Oli Herbert. Oli was not only an extraordinary musician, but a close friend whose presence and influence will always be felt. His shoes can never truly be filled, and I carry his spirit with me every time I pick up the guitar.
After decades of friendship, shared history, and mutual support, it means everything to get on stage with this band and contribute to a project I genuinely believe in. I can’t wait to hit the road and share what we’ve been working on with all of you.
