Saosin guitarist Beau Burchell commented:
“During the creation of SELF TITLED, I don’t think we fully understood the album we were making at the time. We were just doing the same thing we have always done, and are still doing now. And that’s making the best music we can. We had no idea the impact it would have on so many people’s lives and the genre. Getting to revisit it 20 years later, with that appreciation and perspective, gives us a new invigorated energy that we are so excited to bring to the stage.
There’s a different weight to these songs when you’ve lived with them for two decades. Not only for us, but for all the fans who have shared their stories with us over the years. The connection people have to these songs is unreal, so the opportunity to share and celebrate our SELF-TITLED record across the U.S. in a live setting is something very important to us. It’s crazy to think we are at peak performance 20 years into our career, but it really does feel that way, and we are chomping at the bit to bring this show to as many people as we can.”
Vocalist Cove Reber added:
“Our SELF-TITLED album defined a major chapter of my life, as well as the lives of so many others. I grew up through these songs, the shows, and the touring we did together. Celebrating this record now is not only about honoring the fans who grew up alongside us, but also the new fans who are growing up with us today. We’ve come to understand what that musical era of our lives truly meant, and I’m excited to bring it back to the stage with a renewed sense of energy and excitement.”
Longtime Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain has announced a new autobiography titled “Hello Boys And Girls!.” The book will be released on October 22 via Harper Nonfiction. Pre-order HERE.
Here’s a synopsis:
“Strap in – Nicko McBrain is finally telling his story, and he’s doing it his way.
‘Hello Boys and Girls!’ is a thrilling, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography from the unstoppable drummer behind Iron Maiden. With trademark humour and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of Britain’s biggest ever bands.
Nicko joined the band in 1982 after stints with artists like Streetwalker, Pat Travers and Trust. He honed his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London’s Soho. Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer became a metal icon, pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden’s dynamic sound.
This is the story of what it feels like to remain not just relevant but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and to live a life transformed by music, brotherhood and belief.
Packed with unforgettable moments, backstage stories, laugh-out-loud anecdotes and raw honesty, ‘Hello Boys and Girls!’ is more than a rock memoir; it’s a front-row seat to one of heavy metal’s greatest lives.
Nicko’s ready.
Are you?”
McBrain commented:
“I’m very excited and honoured to be working with the wonderful Harper Nonfiction team on my very own book full of lots of fun stories, anecdotes and of course my incredible experiences with some of the greatest musicians and performers from the ’70s, ’80s and beyond! I am blessed to be able to finally share my path to where I am today, in my own words, with the world.”

All Shall Perish commented:
“After 20 years, we are playing the ENTIRE record for you on a full us tour! Many of these songs we NEVER played live back in the day.
2006 was a crazy time for heavy music, SO many sick artists dropping fire and birthing a sub-genre. We are proud to have been a part of that moment in history, come re-live this album with us and celebrate 20…TWENTY!?! damn years of “The Price of Existence.’”

Dave Ingram has announced his departure from Benediction. The vocalist is exiting the band “due to the current state of [his] arthritis.”
Ingram commented:
“Some sad news ahead. Due to the current state of my arthritis now, I have to withdraw as vocalist for Benediction. The increase in pain, and the frustration it causes from its debilitation, has led me to this disconsolate decision. I will be performing select shows with the band during 2026 as I would like a chance to say farewell and thank you to the fans who have supported us throughout the years, so hope that all attending them will have an awesome time with us. It saddens me greatly, and I hope that friends and fans alike will understand. Thank you, it has truly been a blast!”
Benediction added:
“Details of which shows Dave will attend will be announced as we get closer to gig day as obviously His health will dictate this. As you would expect Benediction do not want to cancel ANY shows and have called on a few old friends to fill the inevitable void on centre stage for the gigs Dave will miss in the next few months.
Firstly the band had no hesitation in inviting Oscar Rilo to once again step up and fill the vocalist position for the gigs in Germany on 15 and 16 May. Oscar has received rave reviews from the media and musicians alike after his superb performances at recent Benediction concerts in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona and the Boys in the band are thrilled He will again take up the hot seat.
Dave Hunt will return to his former position as frontman for Benediction at Iron fest and Mystic, his first appearances for the band since he was himself replaced by Dave Ingram in 2019.
We will hopefully to have some really exciting news for our fans in Latin/South America over the next few weeks so keep an eye open for that!
Benediction would like to wish Dave Ingram well and want to make his remaining shows with the band a real send off so we’ll need all of you guys for that! So Let’s Go!
The band would like to thank you, the fans for your understanding in this unfortunately difficult period. Thanks for your undying loyalty and relentless support as always. You guys never let us down and we are eternally grateful.
So for now let’s all get behind Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt for making the next few shows possible (Thanks Fellas!) and let’s make the shows the usual energetic metal chaos you are used to seeing!
More news as we get it but ultimately… The Show Must Go On!”
