  • Pentagram’s UK/Ireland Tour Cancelled “Due To Ongoing Complications

    Pentagram’s UK/Ireland has officially been cancelled. The trek was scrapped “due to ongoing complications.”

    Promoter Route One Booking commented:

    “After a tonne of work and a million headaches, we are sad to have to announce that due to ongoing complications, we are left with no choice but to cancel these rescheduled dates for Pentagram. With two dates completely sold out and all shows selling well, this is an absolute nightmare for everyone involved.

    We are very sorry to all the people that had purchased tickets and remained patient when the original tour was postponed in July 2025. Refunds for all tickets sold are available from your point of purchase.

    There are no plans to reschedule this tour again at any stage in the future.”

  • Matt Zane Launches Crowdfunding Campaign For Wayne Static And Tera Wray Documentary Despite Oppositions From Their Families

    Matt Zane has launched an Indiegogo for an unauthorized documentary on Wayne Static (Static-X) and Tera Wray. The filmmaker, who was a close friend of the late married couple, is planning to begin production on the project in January. Zane’s decision to move forward with the film comes after Static and Wray’s families recently objected to it.

    Zane said the following:

    “Wayne Static and Tera Wray asked me to create this about their life.

    I am an award winning director with hundreds of music videos to my name as well as two documentaries. Some people I have worked with in the past are Zakk Wylde, John 5, DMC and many more.

    My hope is that this project will present Wayne and Tera‘s relationship in a way that they wanted the world to see them.

    The funds will be used to provide filming and editing costs. The goal is to complete the project within a year’s time.

    There are some great perks and you will be directly responsible for helping Wayne and Tera‘s vision become a reality.”

    He also added the following in a new video:

    “My name is Matt Zane and it is my goal with your help to complete a documentary that Wayne Static and Tera Wray asked me to film about their life.

    Wayne hired me for every film related project after he left Static-X, including the ‘Pighammer‘ promo. The ‘Assassins Of Youth‘ video, and his last music video, ‘Noise Revolution‘”‘ with DMC. We were never able to complete the project in 2014 due to funding, but we did have plans to continue filming at a later time.

    Unfortunately, that never happened due to Wayne‘s untimely passing. But now, with your help, Wayne and Tera‘s story can finally be told. I knew Wayne for 15 years and actually met and worked with his wife, Tera, before they were married.

    We became close over the course of their seven-year relationship. And I was with them during pivotal moments, which gives me the ability to provide a unique perspective of their lives. I also have never before seen footage that will be included in a documentary for the first time.

    Another exciting aspect of this project is that I worked on music with Wayne that is unreleased that will be featured within the film in some form. Please join me on this journey, creating a documentary for my friends Wayne and Tera, presenting their life in a way that they would have wanted to be seen: as themselves, madly in love, obsessed with each other in a wild world that they created. I thank everyone for their support and I’m looking forward to getting started on this amazing and exciting new project.”

  • Benighted Announce New Drummer, Premiere New Song “The Spineless Freak”

    Benighted have recruited Matthias Biechler as their new drummer. With this news, the band have also released a new song titled “The Spineless Freak.” A video for the track featuring Biechler can be seen below:

    Vocalist Julien Truchan commented:

    “The whole story is pretty incredible. As we were casting other drummers, I got a message from my friend Eugene of Fleshgod Apocalypse who told me he had a student in Paris who learns incredibly fast and that I should contact him. Matthias came for the casting last July and he just amazed us by playing our fastest songs impeccably. He is only 22, has played drums for four years and we’re officially his very first band as a drummer! I can’t even imagine his level in two or three years. He is at the same time a machine and the nicest guy you can find. We’re so happy to welcome him in the band!”

    Biechler added:

    “It’s an honor for me to join Benighted behind the drums. This very band gave me the motivation five years ago to push myself and truly work hard on the drums, so joining them today as my first band as a drummer is beyond anything I ever imagined. I’ll give everything I have to live up to the band’s name and unleash all the violence you love so much. Thank you for welcoming me and your support. I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!”

  • Clutch To Begin Recording New Album In Early 2026

    During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Clutch singer Neil Fallon offered an update on the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the band are currently planning to begin the recording process for the effort early next year.

    Fallon said the following:

    “We did begin a pre-production and writing session earlier this year, but then we went back out on tour. There will be another writing session in January, and the plan is to record in late January or early February. Nowadays, from finishing a record to mastering takes up to six months. And the great thing about being our own record label is that if it doesn’t feel right to put it out at that time, we won’t. We’d rather wait and make it as good as it can be. That’s where we are at. There are a number of songs in the can, but I’m not going to predict when it might be released.”

    He continued when asked if it’ll be good:

    “Every year it gets harder and harder to come up with stuff, because you already have these existing records, but… yeah. We know that [as an album] it’ll be alright.”
