  • UADA Cover Nirvana’s “Something In The Way”

    UADA have shared a new video for their new cover of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way.” Vocalist/guitarist Jake Superchi said the following about that:

    “When UADA was formed, a rule was set: no covers, in pursuit of carving a wholly independent voice. With this song, we allowed ourselves to bend that rule. Recruiting a cellist for this project created a rare alignment—a moment to pay homage to one of the most formative and regional influences of my youth. While staying close to the original arrangement, we allowed our interpretation to take on its own bleak, glacial weight—one that echoes through the song’s timeless sorrow.”

  • Stephen Brodsky Streams Acoustic Cover Of Neurosis’ “Under The Surface”

    Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man) is streaming an acoustic cover of Neurosis’ “Under The Surface” via Decibel. You can check that out HERE. The track will appear Brodsky’s new covers album, “Cut To The Core Vol. 2,” which will be released on February 3.

    Brodsky said the following about being introduced to Neurosis for the first time:

    “My introduction to Neurosis was Adam McGrath (Cave In) talking about seeing them on the Through Silver in Blood tour and being completely overwhelmed – that definitely got my attention. Fast forward to early 1999, and Cave In is hanging out at the Hydra Head Records office in Mission Hill, aka Aaron Turner’s bedroom. Aaron mentions he has an unmastered cassette of the new Neurosis album that someone at Relapse sent him discreetly. He’s already listened to it multiple times and assures us it’s GOOD, like REAL good.

    Because we’re dying to know – what does Neurosis sound like recorded by Steve Albini?! In 2026, it’s hard to imagine how or why this combination of band/engineer would seem so shocking, but back then it was a different story. We just sat there listening and my first impression was “Holy shit, this is LOUD. Like, DANGEROUSLY loud.” It was a righteous time for Cave In, as we were writing the Jupiter album and drawing inspiration from Neurosis among other influences new and exciting to us.”

    He also added the following about the cover:

    “It happened in May of last year. The real trick was to make it all feel natural. There’s a strong sense of spirituality in Neurosis’s music, which thankfully lends itself well to acoustic instruments. The eight-string baritone was an obvious choice, to keep things heavy sounding. And I made sure to feature the Mooger Fooger analog delay that I’ve had for 25 years after Steve Von Till convinced me to get one. Playing the melodica through it resulted in some approximation of those cool Noah Landis noises in the spacey section. All in all, it took maybe a few days to reimagine/rehearse/record/film.”

  • Bassist And Guitarist Exit Reflections Due To Their “ICE Apologist” Vocalist

    Bassist Francis Xayana and guitarist Patrick “Patty” Somoulay have both exited Reflections. The duo blamed their departures on vocalist Jake Wolf.

    Xayana said the following:

    “Jake has always had control of the band.

    There’s a reason Patty left even though he is the primary writer.

    Jake is an ICE apologist and I will not fuck with someone like that.

    I don’t give a flying fuck what we’ve been through. I cannot trust a person who thinks this is necessary.

    And honestly fuck you if you support this ICE shit. You’re a fucking bitch.

    And instead of getting into your fucking feelings y’all should have been listening to Black voices this entire time.

    Now when a white person is killed in the same form they’ve experienced for centuries, we are at end game.

    There is no going back. This is the beginning of the end if people continue to turn a blind eye.

    He’s going to kill anyone who opposes him.”

    Somoulay added:

    “I am no longer a part of Reflections.

    A lot of stuff happening in life lately where it just does not feel okay to continue on with this myself.

    Also f**k ICE.

    This isn’t the country my family wanted to risk their lives to come to”

  • Dave Mustaine “Might” Record A Solo Album After Megadeth’s Farewell Tour

    During a recent interview with Teraz Rock, Dave Mustaine discussed the possibility of recording a solo album after Megadeth’s farewell tour. He is still undecided, but he said he “might” pursue the idea.

    Mustaine said the following about a solo record:

    “I might. I don’t think so. I might. I might. Right now, things are going so great for us, we’re not even really thinking about the end. We’re thinking about the beginning of this, this campaign, and heading out and, and showing this [new] music to our fans.

    And we’ve been looking at the tours that we’ve got on our schedule, and everything’s doing really well ticket-wise. Dates are selling out way in advance, and that’s good for us too because in many of the places that we booked, we’ve had to go to a different configuration.

    Some places will be set up for, say, for example, 7,000 seats and they’ve got some seats up in the top that they’ve blocked off. And a band comes in and they keep selling tickets, they’ll open up those areas. ‘Cause a lot of times they don’t open those areas up because it looks bad for bands that don’t sell out the venue. And we’ve had a lot of concerts already that has — it’s gone to a bigger-size venue.”

  • Moodring Share “Death Fetish” Album Sampler

    Moodring have shared a sampler featuring teasers of all the songs on their new album “Death Fetish.” That effort will be released on March 27.

    Hunter Young commented:

    “If you’ve been following the singles from a musical, lyrical, and visual standpoint you’ll know…this is more than just music to me.

    When I got sick, I was told my chances of full recovery were about 5% and was explicitly told the more I forced myself past my new limits, the further my quality of life would continue to decline. I didn’t listen. On the surface, I was resting, or at least pretending to. In reality, it only made me push harder. But here we are in 2026, and I’m still fighting too hard. I can’t stomach a life without creating, in any capacity that I am able to.

    Currently, I am housebound (mostly bed-bound) while still doing my best to find peace and release whatever I can into the world. “death fetish” is a bleak album hiding behind veiled electronics, heavy guitars, and pop hooks. This record is a eulogy to the person I used to be. The way this sickness has affected those in my life and the way it continues to steal with no end in sight. From losing my identity, body, and mind, to the visceral reaction to the ones I lost or the ones who choose not believe me and talk in the shadows.

    Through it all, I remain grateful for the people still around and the ones who listen a little closer to hear me loud and clear.”

    This chapter is about honoring that core and letting the music lead again. No pressure, no expectations — just creation.

    We’re also absolutely open to bringing in the other OG members and have been in talks with them! Let’s build this thing back up together & see where we can take it.
