  • Enter Shikari Cancel North American Touring Plans Due To Visa Issues

    Enter Shikari will no longer be coming to North America this year. The band scrapped their touring plans in the territory due to visa issues.

    The group commented:

    “Hello USA & Canada.

    We wish we were here with better news. Unfortunately, despite best efforts at our end, due to ongoing visa issues that look extremely unlikely to be sorted before some massive financial decisions need to be made, we’re in the position where we have to cancel both legs of the planned touring in North America this year, along with our Warped Tour and Summerfest appearances.

    If you know us, you know that this isn’t a decision taken lightly and we’re gutted that we’re not able to be with you in 2026. We’re already starting the process of trying to make plans jor 2027 but, with uncertainty around the timeframes getting visas secured, we did not want to simply postpone and reschedule these shows, hence full cancellation and refunding of ticket purchases.

    Once again, we apologise for this situation which is out of our control, and we thank you for your continued support. We were really looking forward to bringing “Lose Your Self” to you, and we hope to have better news regarding that sooner rather than later.

    Thank you. ES x”

  • Beartooth Premiere “Pure Ecstasy” Music Video

    Beartooth have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Pure Ecstasy.” That effort will be released on August 28.

    Vocalist Caleb Shomo commented:

    “Song one is always a crucial part of an album to me. It’s gotta lock you into the vibe out of the gate. ‘Pure Ecstasy‘ was birthed in a studio with Misha Mansoor, ridiculous loudspeakers, and the dumbest heaviest chugs we could chug. Once it was brought home and expanded on with Jordan Fish, there was no question it was the album opener. Play loud and kick ass.”

    In other news, Beartooth have also announced a European/UK tour. Here’s the dates:

    09/17 Frankfurt, GER – Jahrhunderhalle
    09/18 Oberhausen, GER – Rudolf Weber Arena

  • Blue Medusa Premiere “Flying Monkey” Music Video

    Blue Medusa, the project featuring core members Alissa White-Gluz (DragonForce, ex-Arch Enemy, etc.), Alyssa Day (Mindscar) and Dani Sophia (ex-Till Lindemann) alongside live members Alicia Vigil (Vigil Of War, DragonForce) and drummer Delaney Jaster (Stitched Up Heart), have premiered a new video for their new song “Flying Monkey.” That track will be included on the group’s upcoming album.

    Sophia commented:

    “‘Flying Monkey’ was written in this really liminal space, this waiting area in between chapters in my life, and the melodies reflect the themes of the nightmares I was having at the time. No matter where I was, I kept hearing an out-of-tune music box playing in the distance…”

    White-Gluz continued:

    “‘Flying Monkey’ is exactly the kind of music I want to be making. I am so inspired by Dani and Alyssa. This Blue Medusa album is almost like writing my memoirs and I have loved every aspect of creating it.”

    Day added:

    “The bridge section of ‘Flying Monkey’ gave me a fun space to stretch outside my usual harmonic comfort zone and play with some scales and sequences I don’t always reach for. It turned into this quirky, sassy, techy little solo that I genuinely love playing. We had a blast shooting the video too, and I’m really excited for everyone to finally see and hear this one.”
