  • Behemoth Premiere “I, Scvlptor” Video

    Behemoth have shared an official video for the title track of their new compilation album “I, Scvlptor.” That effort will be available digitally and as a CD, LP, MC, and limited edition box set on September 4. As previously reported, it will include new music, re-recorded tracks, a Venom cover, and more.

    Frontman Nergal commented on the single:

    “‘I, Scvlptor’ is a new Behemoth song rooted in the tradition of monumental tracks like ‘O Father O Satan O Sun!’, ‘Lucifer’ or ‘Nieboga Czarny Xiądz’, while at the same time opening a new chapter. It carries that epic weight but also takes an unexpected turn that makes it feel fresh and different from the previous pieces. Lyrically, it is a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself — an uneven struggle with matter and personal limitations. The paradox is that from the moment we are born we are already destined to die, so perhaps it is not about victory itself, but about the constant act of sculpting who we are.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “We’re fucking excited about the release of ‘I, Scvlptor’. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, ‘The Shit Ov God’. That’s why we see ‘I, Scvlptor’ as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”

  • SAVE US Premiere “Death To Something” Video

    SAVE US have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Death To Something.” That effort will be released on October 16. Vocalist Miguel Owls said the following about the single:

    “‘Death To Something’ was the last song we wrote with [producer] Landon [Tewers], and it ended up giving the record its name. Lyrically, it was inspired by my newborn son. The message is simple but powerful: Sometimes there has to be a death to your old life in order to build a better one for the people you love. On this track, I dive into the struggles and hardships of my past, and how I had to finally cut the ties that kept weighing me down. It’s raw, personal, and honestly one of the most meaningful songs I’ve ever written.”

    “Death To Something” Track Listing:

    01. “Chains”
    02. “Last Of Me”
    03. “Mente Fragmentada”
    04. “No Holding Back”
    05. “Seraphim”
    06. “Far”

    10. “Numb”
    11. “Death To Something”

  • Boundaries Premiere “May this pain never leave” Video

    Boundaries have premiered a new video for their new song “May this pain never leave.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Yearning: The unbeautiful after,” which will be released on July 17. Vocalist Matt McDougal said the following about the single:

    “The premise of the song is laid out very plainly and intentionally. It exists as an extension of the Colin Parkes quote: ‘The pain of grief is just as much a part of life as the joy of love; it is, perhaps, the price we pay for love, the cost of commitment.’ [The song was written in the wake of the 2025 plane crash that claimed the lives of Dave Shapiro, Kendall Fortner, Emma Huke, Daniel Carmelo, along with two others]. With the sudden and violent loss of a number of people close to the band this past year it became impossible to not write about the bereavement and the subsequent emotions. As much as it hurts to miss these people, I hope with all my heart it never stops so that I may miss them with the weight and significance they deserve.”

  • letlive.’s Jason Aalon Butler On The Possibility Of New Music: “We’ve Certainly Discussed It”

    During an interview with Rock Sound, letlive. singer Jason Aalon Butler discussed the possibility of new music. He says they have “certainly discussed it.”

    Butler said the following:

    “Yeah, we’ve certainly discussed it, because we’ve had such a good time, and we have understood how much we enjoy not only playing this music as this band, but with each other. I think it’s a really important thing.

    For so long, the band was about this side of the stage — everything on this side [where the audience is] — and we did an internal audit and we realized how much we love each other. And so a lot on this side [where the stage is and where the bandmembers are] has happened. So with all that being said, if we can offer something that makes sense and is significant enough post-political fatigue, post-weird Internet advents and things sort of transitioning, if we can offer something that does offer a proper impact the way that letlive. was meant to from the beginning, then we could consider that moving forward. But that really just depends on the climate.”

    The following statement was issued:

    “We need your help.

    As many of you know, the current economic and political climate has been incredibly tough on people, artists, and small businesses. It’s something we’re all feeling and, unfortunately, it’s impacting Post. Festival in a very real way.

    To be completely transparent, we are struggling to reach our break-even point this year. There are a lot of reasons for that—rising travel costs, unreasonable gas prices, crippling visa delays, nagging uncertainty about the future—and we truly understand the struggle. We are now at a pivotal moment where we need to ask for your support.

    To help us get through this year and keep Post. Festival alive for the future, we’re making a few changes and asking for your help:

    • We have adjusted Thursday to now be an indoor-only show, available to all 3-day and Thursday pass holders. Final line up to be announced!
    • If you plan on coming, please consider buying your tickets now. Early purchases help us cover upfront costs and make this weekend everything it’s meant to be.
    • Can’t make it this year, but want to support the festival and community? You can help by grabbing merch or dropping a small donation. Every dollar truly matters. Check out our website for merch available- first drop available now!

    If Post. Festival has ever meant something to you, this is the year to show it. Share it. Support it. Spread the word. Post about it! We need our community more than ever. Post. Festival IS happening come hell or high water- see you all in July!”

  • Skid Row’s Rachel Bolan Rules Out Reunion With Sebastian Bach Once Again

    During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, Skid Row’s Rachel Bolan was asked about the possibility of a reunion with former frontman Sebastian Bach once again. The bassist responded by saying “it’s not gonna happen.”

    Bolan said the following about the band’s ongoing search for a new singer:

    “Well, the campaign we did with Sweetwater Music was overwhelming, to say the least, and we’ve gone through the video submissions, about close to 400. And there’s a lot of really talented people out there, a lot of great singers. We’ve also been outside of that — friends from bands may have seen someone while they were on the road or whatnot, and we check everybody out. So what we do is once we see or hear — we get a batch together, like four or five people, and we’ll bring them into New Jersey, and we’ll get in a rehearsal room and check ’em out live. ‘Cause it’s cool when you hear them in a studio situation, but it’s a studio situation, so everything is nice and got a lot of takes and stuff. So, that’s the point we’re at again. We’ve done that three or four times so far, so we’re at that point right now again where we’re gonna bring a few guys into Jersey, get into a room and see what they got.”

    He continued when asked about fans who still call for a reunion with Bach:

    “It is what it is. People could like us or they could not like us. I really don’t give a shit. I want people to be at our shows. We’ve been doing fine. We’ve been doing great. And the last singer we had, Erik [Grönwall], we got thrown a curveball, because of his health. So, we’re forging forward, and we want to do things our way, and that’s what we’re doing.

    I don’t really get it, the reunion thing [with Sebastian] much more, unless we have to look for a singer, and then some people, like the keyboard warriors, tell me exactly what I should be doing. And then, ‘One tour and then call it a day and quit because you suck.’ [Laughs] It’s just, like, yeah, but I wake up and I’m still in SKID ROW. What do you do? [Laughs] You know what I mean? So it’s just like a non-issue for us anymore.

    It’s not gonna happen.”

    He also added the following when asked about a timeline for a return:

    “We have the luxury of time. Last time [we were looking for a new singer] we were in the middle of doing a record and had a decent amount of tour booked. The time before that, I think we had a tour booked. The four of us promised each other, okay, we’re going to take our time. Now, for SKID ROW, two years for me personally — two years is a long time for anybody, but for SKID ROW, we put out albums every eight years. We’re just taking our time, and we’re going through every single person that submits something, and we’re listening to it. And like I said, soon we’re gonna get into a room, a rehearsal situation, and try a few more people out and see what happens… We have time, and we’re not in any rush, and that’s what afforded me the time to put out a solo record. And it is what it is.”

  • RATT Announce New 40th Anniversary Vinyl Pressing Of “Dancing Undercover”

    RATT will be releasing a new 40th anniversary vinyl edition of “Dancing Undercover” on July 31. The limited edition zoetrope will be housed in an opaque bag with reimagined artwork. Pre-orders can be found HERE. Singer Stephen Pearcy commented:

    “With ‘Dancing Undercover’, mostly Robbin and I, wanted to get back to a place between the RATT EP and ‘[Out Of The] Cellar’ records. The other guys might think differently and maybe the cracks were starting to happen, but all of us were all over the songs. I like the record, and for a minute or so Robbin and I accomplished what we wanted to as best we could. That was to make a tougher album. We were so committed to doing shows at that time. It was finding time off for writing and pre-production.”
