  • Roman Candle Premiere New Song “Nothing Is Original”

    Roman Candle have premiered a new song titled “Nothing Is Original.” Vocalist Piper Ferrari commented:

    “‘Nothing Is Original‘ was the first song we wrote for the new record, and it set the emotional temperature for everything that followed. Those early lines—‘holier than thou / holier than me’—opened the door to a kind of raw self-interrogation we hadn’t tapped into before. It became the blueprint for the entire album: messy, honest, and painfully human.”

  • Slipknot’s Clown Launches Multi-Mode “Minecraft” Realm

    Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan has announced his own “Minecraft” realm called “Vernearth.” The experience will take place across four different game modes.

    Further information was shared in a press release:

    ‘Built on custom technology, handcrafted environments, and a play philosophy that rewards mastery across survival, PVP, creativity, and hardcore challenges, Vernearth launches with four major game modes: Oblivion, PVP/Event, Plotworld, and Challenge Mode. Together they form a unified ecosystem that supports every type of player. These modes will be rolled out starting at launch systematically to ensure a smooth player experience, so some of these modes may not be available right away. Explorers and builders to streamers, competitors, and high-stakes achievers will all have something innovative to experience in Vernearth, like:

    OBLIVION — The Core World

    Oblivion is the heart of Vernearth. It’s a vast, custom-generated survival world that blends realism with corrupted “clown”-inspired elements. Players explore treacherous terrain, battle custom factions, and uncover the lore behind the three great capital cities: Raziel, Seniomsed, and The City of Eternal.

    PVP / EVENT SERVER — The Arena

    Designed for fast, high-intensity competition, the PVP/Event server delivers recurring weekly tournaments and creator-friendly content moments. Players fight across four bespoke arena:

    The Circle Sphere
    The Blood Square
    The Blood Oval
    UnEden

    There will be modes like Last Man Standing and Duels, earning “War” currency that unlocks exclusive cosmetics and items.

    PLOTWORLD — The Sanctuary

    Plotworld provides a safe, collaborative creative space where players can build freely, merge plots, host social activities, and enter monthly build contests. With access to creative mode, limited WorldEdit, and a permanent Hall of Fame showcase, Plotworld gives players a way to contribute artistically to the world of Vernearth.

    CHALLENGE MODE — Vernearth’s Signature Experience

    Challenge Mode is a seasonal, limited-time hardcore world with only one rule: one life. Each 45-day season introduces a new Slipknot-inspired theme, custom world generation, brutal mechanics, and high-stakes objectives.

    SEASONS:

    Vernearth’s Season Mode evolves from the blood-red, Heretic-Lord–ruled chaos of Season 1: The Heretic Anthem, to the twilight-shrouded decay of Season 2: The Dying Song where players fight to forge the Beacon of Life, and finally into the unpredictable madness of Season 3: Friend or Foe?, a world where mobs, loot, blocks, and consumables shift with total randomness.

    Survivors earn permanent titles, exclusive cosmetics, Hall of Heroes placement, and a share of the prize pool.’

  • Mayhem Premiere New Song “Despair”

    Mayhem have premiered a new song titled “Despair.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Liturgy Of Death,” which will be released on February 6.

    The following was said about the single in a press release:

    “‘Liturgy Of Death‘ explores the philosophy of mortality with stark, uncompromising clarity. The album presents death not as an ending, but as a universal law that touches all life and exposes the fragility of human existence. This impermanence becomes a call to live with full intensity, for every gain and loss ultimately falls back into the same silence. Echoing ancient philosophies, the album portrays life as a transitional state and death as a gateway to a higher form of being, while the solemn, dark beauty of death permeates the entire work.

    ‘Despair‘ captures this vision in its most visceral form. The track unravels the collapse of being through ritualistic chants, Latin invocations, and blistering blast beats that echo like the pulse of annihilation. Attila’s vocals summon an ancient, fatal truth: the fading of light, the inevitability of death, and the recognition of human fragility. ‘Despair‘ stands as the album’s stark revelation — the moment where death is not feared but understood.”

  • Foo Fighters To Play Benefit Concert In Los Angeles, CA On Dave Grohl’s Birthday

    Foo Fighters will be celebrating frontman Dave Grohl’s 57th birthday (January 14) with a special show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA. The proceeds will benefit various charities including Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission.

    More information was shared in a press release:

    ‘Foo Fighters will play a special benefit concert on Wednesday, January 14th, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with proceeds benefiting organizations that Dave and Jordyn Grohl and the band have long supported, including Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission.

    The only pre-sale opportunity for this show will be a Sunday, December 7th, in-person-only advance ticket purchase/donation drive at the Kia Forum. To participate in this pre-sale, please bring an item or items from the following list from Hope the Mission, who will be on site to collect them:

    • Socks and underwear (male, female, adults, children, ALL SIZES — NEW/PACKAGED ONLY)
    • Dried pinto beans (bagged)
    • Pasta – spaghetti, macaroni (bagged or boxed)
    • Dried rice (bagged)
    • Please, No Canned Goods or perishable items

    Donations & proceeds will support Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission in their efforts to provide food, clothing, and direct services to unhoused and food-insecure Angelenos. Monetary donations will support both organizations in their efforts to provide shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness.

    “Dave, Jordyn, and Foo Fighters are a striking example of what’s possible when we decide to show up and give back. This concert will be more than just a celebration, it’s a statement that it will take all of us working together to end homelessness in our city so that no one is left suffering on our streets,” said Rowan Vansleve, President of Hope the Mission. “We’re incredibly grateful to partner with the band. Foo Fighters and their fans have a reputation for always stepping up to help when people need it, and this concert will be no different.”

    “The impact of this event goes far beyond one night of incredible music. Every ticket purchased and every donation will directly help feed and house our unhoused neighbors. We’re honored Foo Fighters are joining to bring real help and real hope to people across Los Angeles.” – Dennis Oleesky, CEO, Los Angeles Mission.

    The benefit concert also falls on Dave Grohl’s birthday. He asks that fans give whatever they can — including donations, volunteering, raising awareness, and more:

    “What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause. This ain’t just a big ass rock show, it’s a big ass party with a heart. Turn up the volume, turn up the hope, but most of all….TURN UP.

    The best gift is TO GIVE.

    Can’t friggin wait x” Dave‘

  • Karnivool Premiere New Song “Opal”

    Karnivool have premiered a new song titled “Opal.” This track is from the band’s new album, “In Verses,” which will be released on February 6. Guitarist Drew Goddard said the following about the single:

    “The riff in the middle and end was actually the first thing I recorded in the Themata era, on a computer at my parents’ house. Twenty years later, it found its place here. Jon dug it up, and we made it feel more current. The verse that starts with ‘You’ve been holding up…’ was a section left off ‘Aeons’ from Asymmetry. The whole track came together in a way we’ve never really experienced before—these old, separate ideas suddenly just fell into place.”
