    The band commented:

    “Celebrating 25 years as a band, we wanted to go back to the songs that started it all. After playing a few full-album shows, we realized we wanted to share that experience with everyone. If we couldn’t make it to your city to play it for you live, we could at least bring it into your living room and let you share that moment with us.

    So we filmed it and recorded it live in the studio.

    It’s been a while since we were fully active as a band, and we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to our fans and community through the familiar sound of an album that helped shape a post-hardcore/emo scene that has now become very much mainstream.

    This live album is nostalgic for us, but it also feels new. We’re grown-ass men playing songs we wrote when we were 18, and somehow they still feel fresh and just as relevant today.

    This isn’t a ‘remember us?’

    It’s a ‘we’re back,’ and we’re genuinely excited to share what’s coming next.’”

  • King Ultramega Recruit Mastodon’s Brann Dailor For New Cover Of Chris Cornell’s “Dead Wishes”

    Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Mark Menghi (Metal Allegiance), Angel Vivaldi, Kenny Aronoff (Sammy Hahar, etc.), and Frank Mitaritonna have released a cover of “Dead Wishes” as part of the Chris Cornell tribute project King Ultramega. You can check that out below. Proceeds will be donated to MusiCares.

    The contributors commented:

    Menghi:

    “I would constantly listen to the original version in moments of clarity, times of reflection, sitting in a sauna post-work out and/or cool down periods, etc. any time I needed to wind down or relax, I listened to it. As time went on, I became more and more connected to the song. I just love the simplicity of the song, the depth of the instrumentation, the acoustic guitar tone, etc. when tracking and producing our version, I wanted to stay true to the original but add things I was hearing in my head, hence the violins, cellos, keyboards, percussion, Leslie effects, xylophone, sleigh bells, etc. I wanted to create an atmospheric soundscape that would pay homage to the original.

    As I was thinking on who could potentially sing this song, I heard a version of Mastodon covering “Stairway to Heaven” where Brann is singing lead vox and I just thought to myself ‘Well, he would be interesting on ‘Dead Wishes””

    Mitaritonna:

    “Working on ‘Dead Wishes’ showed me the depth of his writing and helped me develop a deeper appreciation from my younger years, only consuming music through MTV or whatever records I could get my hands on. His lyrics are haunting and poetic, but feel relatable and personal which creates an incredibly deep, human experience for me as a listener, before any contributions.”

    Aronoff:

    “Mark’s sound, feel and ideas are perfect on not only this track, but in all the KU tracks I’ve been a part of. When recording a song like this, it’s very important what you don’t play as much as what you decide to play.”

    Dailor:

    “First of all, I have to say what an incredible honor to even be asked to try and attempt a cover of one of Chris’s songs. The fact that Mark thought I could even come close to it is beyond flattering, and to be honest, my knee jerk reaction was to say “uh, no thank you, I’m not interested in embarrassing myself if I can help it” haha! The track itself was totally out of my wheelhouse so I thought it would be a great challenge and an opportunity to try to honor one of my favorite musicians and vocalists for a great cause.

    It was actually really freeing, I felt like I could let loose a little bit knowing I wouldn’t have to also be playing drums.”

    Vivaldi:

    “It’s very much about reading the room in terms of truly listening to what the song wants while being honest with what you have to offer it to expand its possibilities.”

  • CKY Postpone May Tour

    CKY have postponed their May U.S. shows. The dates were scrapped after drummer Jess Margera suffered a rotator cuff injury.

    The band commented:

    “CKY MAY TOUR POSTPONED – It is with deep regret that we have to announce the postponement of our upcoming May tour. Unfortunately, Jess sustained a rotator cuff injury and has been benched by his doctor for a few weeks while it heals up.

    Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience to everyone who bought tickets, the promoters, the support acts, everyone who helped put this tour together, and our crew. We know you were looking forward to this tour as much as we were, and we’re currently working to reschedule the dates for later this year.

    The rest of our upcoming tour dates are STILL ON, including our July PNW tour (with additional dates added), as well as some new tour dates that we will be announcing shortly!

    We have 14 boxes of tour merch arriving tomorrow, which we’ll be selling online at a discount. We’ll share a link once we’ve got it all sorted!”

    Margera added:

    “Howdy folks, well turns out a shoulder injury I’ve been ignoring took a turn for the worse, as I royally fucked it recently. I even heard a pop. I went to the doctor (I hate going to the doctor) and it turns out I need 4-5 weeks recovery time. Otherwise I will permanently fuck it royally and need surgery.

    So the good news is I will be back in the saddle this summer and the bad news is the May CKY dates are being postponed and rebooked as I type this. Please hang on to your tickets until then. Can’t Def Leppard it (I tried) Need both arms. Again I am really sorry for this inconvenience and I promise to go full Ali vs Frazier when I recover. As Ringo says : Peace & Love and looking forward to seeing you all very soon.”

  • Sharon And Jack Osbourne To Discuss Ozzy’s Legacy And Brand At Licensing Expo

    Ozzy Osbourne’s widow Sharon and their son Jack will be appearing at Informa Markets’ Licensing Expo on May 20. The duo plan to discuss the late singer’s legacy and brand during the event.

    Further details were shared in a press release:

    “Informa Markets’ Licensing Expo, the world’s most influential event for licensing, brand extension, and IP collaboration, today announced that Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne will appear for an exclusive fireside chat at Licensing Expo 2026, taking place May 19 through 21 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

    The session, titled ‘The Enduring Legacy of a Rock Icon and His Family: Ozzy Osbourne and The Osbournes,’ will take place Wednesday, May 20, at 2:00 PM PST at the License Global Main Stage.

    Ozzy Osbourne, known globally as the Prince of Darkness, remains one of the most influential figures in music, entertainment, and popular culture. From redefining heavy metal with Black Sabbath to building a solo career that became a global phenomenon, Ozzy’s influence has reached across generations, geographies, and cultures.

    That impact expanded even further with The Osbournes, the groundbreaking reality series that helped redefine celebrity television and brought an unfiltered, deeply human portrait of rock and roll family life into homes around the world. As the show approaches its 25th anniversary in 2027, the Osbourne family brand is entering a new phase of growth, with renewed focus on storytelling, fan engagement, licensing, and strategic partnerships.

    Interest in Ozzy’s legacy continues to build across multiple major projects, including the upcoming Ozzy Osbourne biopic, a highly anticipated screen project exploring his extraordinary life and career. Additional fan moments, including the upcoming ‘BACK TO THE BEGINNING’: Ozzy & Black Sabbath theatrical project and the return of Ozzfest in 2027, are further driving global excitement around one of music’s most enduring cultural icons.

    Ozzy’s licensing program continues to expand across fashion collaborations, collectibles, accessories, lifestyle products, and emerging digital opportunities, all rooted in the authenticity, edge, humor, and rebellious spirit that define the brand. At the same time, The Osbournes family brand is being developed for new categories and partnerships that reflect the family’s signature voice, humor, and cultural relevance.

    In this exclusive fireside chat, Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne will offer behind the scenes perspective on the continued evolution of Ozzy’s legacy, the cultural impact of The Osbournes, and the ways in which brand partnerships can help preserve, protect, and grow an iconic entertainment legacy for future generations.

    The conversation will be moderated by Jens Drinkwater, Head of Licensing at Global Merchandising Services, and Lisa Streff, Senior Vice President of Licensing and Brand Development at Global Merchandising Services. Global Merchandising Services continues to expand the Ozzy Osbourne licensing program through new collections, collaborations, products, and fan experiences designed to connect with both longtime fans and new audiences.

    ‘The opportunity to gain rare insight from Sharon and Jack Osbourne is an exciting and unique addition to Licensing Expo,’ says Amanda Cioletti, Vice President of Content and Strategy for the Global Licensing Group, which includes Licensing Expo, Brand Licensing Europe, and License Global. ‘Ozzy Osbourne’s influence continues to resonate with millions of fans around the world, and The Osbournes remain one of the most recognizable families in entertainment. This session speaks directly to the power of licensing to preserve legacy, build community, and introduce iconic brands to new generations.’

    ‘Ozzy’s legacy has always been bigger than music. It is attitude, humor, honesty, chaos, heart, and a connection with fans that has lasted for generations,” shares Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne. “The Osbournes became part of people’s lives because it was real, and that authenticity is still at the center of everything we do. We are looking forward to speaking at Licensing Expo about how we protect that legacy while building the next chapter in a way that feels true to who we are.’

    ‘We have had the privilege of working closely with the Ozzy Osbourne brand, and it has been incredibly rewarding to see how deeply it continues to connect with fans across generations,’ adds Jens Drinkwater and Lisa Streff of Global Merchandising Services. ‘Ozzy’s legacy and The Osbournes’ cultural impact continue to evolve in powerful ways. Licensing Expo is the perfect place to explore that next chapter with the global licensing community.’”

  • Thy Art Is Murder Drop Off 2026 Chaos & Carnage Tour Due To Medical Emergency

    Thy Art Is Murder drummer Jesse Beahler recently underwent emergency surgery for appendicitis. As such, the band have been forced to pull out of this year’s Chaos & Carnage Tour.

    The group commented:

    “Hi folks,

    As you may have seen, we have had to withdraw from the Chaos And Carnage Tour. We know how much this tour meant to a lot of you and we don’t take that lightly.

    On the way to the airport, to fly to the states for rehearsals, Jesse began experiencing severe abdominal pain. He was taken to urgent care and referred immediately to the ER, where he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent emergency surgery. In all of this, the lucky part is it hit at the beginning of our 20 hour journey and not somewhere over the Pacific.

    Jesse came through his surgery well and is recovering, but has been medically advised to not fly or perform for six weeks. We are incredibly grateful to the medical teams responsible for his diagnosis and care.

    Jesse’s focus now is making a full recovery so he’s ready to hit the studio with us through June and July.

    Thy Art Is Murder​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    —————————

    Chaos + Carnage rolls on with an absolutely stacked lineup. We’re bummed to be missing out on a great tour with our brothers in Carnifex and Bodysnatcher along with the incredible bands we have yet to tour with and meet – 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell and Bodybox. Get to these shows, support the bands and support the tour.”
