  • Rufus Publications Announce Fully Authorized Pantera Photo Book

    Rufus Publications have announced a fully authorized Pantera coffee table book. The effort will be released in spring 2026 and it will feature photos from Ross Halfin.

    The following was said about the book:

    “Rufus Publications is pleased to announce the fully authorised PANTERA, a brand new coffee table book from Ross Halfin.

    Over the last few years Ross has had unrestricted access to the band on tour, backstage, days off and of course, playing killer shows. This new, fully authorised book captures the current lineup in all its glory and Ross has also delved into his extensive Pantera archive featuring stunning photographs of the original 4 including Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, to produce a unique and often never-before-seen look at one of world’s most legendary metal bands. This is Pantera in the raw.

    A fully signed Pantera collectible book.
    This huge, A3 portrait coffee table book, with more than 300 pages, allows the images to breathe in a unique way and the edition comes in a distinctive, diamond plate style embossed slipcase. Only 666 numbered copies of the book are being made available and each copy is hand signed by Philip Anselmo, Charlie Benante, Rex Brown and Zakk Wylde.

    Pantera is one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time. The lineup of Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul recorded a series of ground breaking albums before the band’s 1994 album, Far Beyond Driven, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, pushing Pantera to sell more than twenty-five million albums worldwide! In 2022, Billboard reported that Brown and Anselmo were reuniting in 2023 for Pantera’s first major tour in 22 years. The updated lineup of Pantera played their first shows in 21 years in Latin America and have continued to tour the world.

    PANTERA by Ross Halfin can be pre-ordered from www.rufuspublications.com/rufusbooks/pantera/ on Thursday December 4th at 3pm UK time. It sells for £250 plus worldwide delivery. The book is expected to ship in Spring 2026.”

  • KMFDM To Release New Album “ENEMY” In February

    KMFDM have revealed that they will be releasing a new album, titled “ENEMY,” on February 6. The effort’s first single, “Oubliette,” will debut on December 12.

    “ENEMY” Track Listing:

    01. “Enemy“
    02. “Oubliette“
    03. “L’Etat“
    04. “Vampyr“
    05. “Yoü“
    06. “Outernational Intervention“
    07. “A Okay“
    08. “Stray Bullet 2.0“
    09. “Catch & Kill“
    10. “Gun Quarter Sue“
    11. “The Second Coming“

    A press release shared more information on the album:

    “Never a band to take the easy path, ‘ENEMY‘ delivers some of KMFDM‘s most stylistically challenging and politically scathing material yet; from the dance/rock melodicism of ‘Oubliette‘ to the darkened grooves of ‘Catch & Kill‘, the satirical brute force thrash of ‘Outernational Intervention‘ to the vicious and hyperbolic industrial metal of ‘L’Etat‘, the funky throb of ‘Vampyr‘ to the cheeky dub of ‘Stray Bullet 2.0‘.

    KMFDM keeps moving, dancing on the blood-dimmed tide, roaring as a rough beast to make noise against a world that demands the silence of ignorance. Join the Ultra Heavy Beat and make yourself the ‘ENEMY‘ of hypocrisy, discrimination and injustice!”

  • Refused Launch Kickstarter For New Documentary “Exit To End”

    Refused have revealed that they are working on a career-spanning documentary titled “Exit To End.” Fans can contribute to the film by donating through Kickstarter.

    The following was said about the documentary:

    “From a damp basement in Umeå’s Teg suburb to the world’s biggest stages, it tells the story of a band that refused to compromise, and of a movement that set out to reshape both music and society. Currently in production, the film follows Refused on their final world tour, moving between past and present to trace the band’s roots in the 1990s Umeå hardcore scene.

    It also paints a wider portrait of a Sweden in transition, where recession, rising extremism, and youth rebellion helped spark a unique movement of hardcore, veganism, and antifascism. At its core, ‘Exit to End’ is a story of friendship and conflict, centred on the intense creative relationship between singer Dennis Lyxzén and drummer David Sandström.”

    Director Anders Balsam Hellström added:

    “‘Exit To End‘ is more than a music documentary. It’s a story about the cost of idealism, about friendship and reconciliation – and about a small town that became world-famous for something no one could have predicted.”

  • Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Premieres “A Plea” Video

    Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) has premiered a new video for his new song “A Plea.” The track will appear on the bassist’s upcoming solo album. The following musicians contributed to the single: Flea (electric bass, vocals, trumpet), Anna Butterss (double bass), Jeff Parker (guitar), Deantoni Parks (drums), Mauro Refosco (percussion), Rickey Washington (alto flute), Vikram Devasthali (trombone), Chris Warren (vocals), and Josh Johnson (vocals, alto saxophone). According to Flea, the song inspires listeners to “build a bridge, shine a light, make something beautiful and see somebody, give it to somebody.” He also added:

    “Yearning for a place beyond, a place of love, for me to speak my mind and be myself. I’m always just trying to be myself. I don’t care about the act of politics. I think there is a much more transcendent place above it where there’s discourse to be had that can actually help humanity, and actually help us all to live harmoniously and productively in a way that’s healthy for the world. There’s a place where we meet, and it’s love.”
