  • Turnstile On Their Grammy Wins: “We Are Very Grateful”

    As previously reported, Turnstile recently won two Grammy Awards including “Best Rock Album” for “NEVER ENOUGH“ and “Best Metal Performance” for “Birds.” Now, the band have commented on the honors, saying they “are very grateful.”

    Turnstile said the following:

    “On Sunday our band won 2 Grammys for Best Rock Album & Best Metal Performance. We never thought we’d be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here.

    This band has never been about the individual, but rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us.

    The world likes to tell us who we are and what we’re not, but the truth is we belong to nothing and we belong to everyone.

    We’re existing in a time of heightened state violence. We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don’t belong to them. As if we don’t belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing.

    Thank you to our family, our friends, our partners, our peers for continuing to shape us and give us sense of belonging. Thank you to anyone who has ever come to a show and swung in the dark with us. Thank you to our team who fights for us to be in the room. Thank you to Baltimore for giving us a stage. Thank you to everyone who has allowed this band to be a mirror for this community. Thank you.

    With love,
    TURNSTILE“

  • Disturbed Singer David Draiman Condemns Artists For Not Voicing Support For Iranian Protestors During The 2026 Grammys

    Disturbed’s David Draiman has called out artists at the 2026 Grammy Awards for not voicing support for protesters fighting against the Islamic Republic in Iran. The singer, who remains controversial due to his support for Israel amid their war in Gaza, says he “was disappointed that not a single person decided to say anything about what’s happening in Iran.”

    Draiman said the following:

    “Good morning, everyone.

    I was disappointed, to say the least, after watching the GRAMMY Awards last night — and there were many great moments and many great performances.

    I was disappointed that not a single person decided to say anything about what’s happening in Iran, about the Iran massacre. About the fact that tens of thousands of innocent people have been slaughtered, shot after their protests in hospital beds, hunted down, mercilessly, repressed.

    You are supposed to be against repression. You are supposed to be for freedom. You are supposed to be for human rights, right? Well, the Iranian people deserve your compassion. They deserve your concern. They deserve your focus, and you gave them none of it, and it’s embarrassing for all of you. I’m not arguing against your respective causes, I’m not even voicing my opinion on them. Everyone’s entitled to a voice. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion. But why? Why wasn’t there a single voice on behalf of the Iranian people? Well, they wouldn’t speak for you. I will.

    Women, life, freedom, free Iran.”

  • Heathen Sign With Napalm Records, Premiere “Never A God” Music Video

    Heathen have signed with Napalm Records. With this news, the band have also shared a new video for their cover of Laughing Dead’s “Never A God.” That band was fronted by David White in the early ’90s.

    The group commented:

    “We’re very proud to announce that Heathen has officially signed with Napalm Records! Joining forces with a team who shares our vision, our drive, and our passion for metal music. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. We’re fired up for what’s coming and can’t wait to complete work on the new Heathen album!

    We’re going to start this new partnership with Napalm Records off with a bang and give you something new to listen to while we continue to work on the new Heathen album. With that in mind, we recorded a couple of classic Bay Area thrash tracks originally written by other bands that we played with in the early 1990s. The demo collectors out there may have heard these songs before, but they’ll be new to most of you. The first single is ‘Never A God’, originally recorded in demo form (with David White on vocals) by Laughing Dead. So, new record label, new music, new video, 12” maxi-single pre-order, and a tour with Coroner in North America starting tomorrow. LFG!”
