LOVE TO ALL.
JOEL“
Death Angel also commented:
“Due to unfortunate circumstances Toxic Holocaust will no longer be able to take part in the upcoming Death Angel Act III American Tour.
However..
We’d like to Thank our friends and Bay Area Thrash brothers Vio-lence for stepping up on such short notice and more than filling in that gap!
This will be the first time that Death Angel and Vio-lence have ever toured together!
That coupled with us celebrating 35 years of Act III by playing it in its entirety every night is reason enough not to miss this tour!”
Alkaline Trio have premiered a new video for their new song “Surprise Surprise.” You can check that out below and pre-order a seven-inch vinyl pressing HERE. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba said the following about the single:
“‘Surprise Surprise’ was inspired by and written for a friend of mine who grew up poor and entrenched in gang life only to become a Navy SEAL and eventually an astronaut. It’s his story combined with my own thoughts regarding how a sort of alchemy takes place when someone takes the experiences of a bad situation and is able to turn them into something profound and beautiful. The rough sketch of the song had only verse and chorus parts but no bridge which was written by Dan in the studio. This song was the last one of the three we did in this session with Travis Barker and was even more of a collaboration and studio creation than the previous two.”
Anti-Flag bassist/vocalist Chris “No. 2” Barker has issued a new apology regarding their handling of the rape allegations against frontman Justin Geever (aka Justin Sane). Various women previously came forward with those accusations, including Kristina Sarhadi, who was recently awarded $1.9 million. For their part, the band claimed they were unaware of the disturbing behavior and blasted Geever.
Barker said the following about the situation:
“There has been a lot of work happening the last 2 years, much of it in private and at an intentional pace. I hope this letter can be part of a step forward.
I want to acknowledge the harm my former bandmate caused, and I am truly sorry that our response to it did not center the needs of survivors. I am grateful that this person’s true nature was exposed, and I recognize the importance of accountability — something he has not yet taken for himself.
I recognize that our initial public statement caused harm and disappointment, and I deeply regret the pain we contributed to. I regret not recognizing the warning signs of his depravity, and wish I had been more aware of the ways in which my privilege contributed to a false sense of safety around him. Regardless of the intentions, harm was caused, and I am sorry. I am sorry for the pain and betrayal experienced by survivors, and support them in demanding justice and healing. I respect their courage for sharing their truth.
This experience has left me feeling emotionally stuck and uncertain, but it has also motivated me to learn and change. I am committed to asking better questions, listening more deeply, and ensuring that I do not overlook signs of dishonesty or harm in others. I recognize that harmful behaviors rooted in patriarchy and narcissism are deeply connected to systems of oppression, and that we must continually challenge them. I believe in the importance of ongoing healing and justice for survivors.
Through the accountability sessions Chris, Pat, and I have engaged in with those survivors who have chosen to sit in with us, I continue to have hope that we can work toward collective accountability and repair. I am grateful for the patience and grace shown by those involved in the transformative justice work we have engaged in over the last 2 years, and I remain dedicated to supporting that process moving forward. To the survivors we have not spoken to, we believe you, and I am sorry if we let you down. We only have empathy and compassion for you and your path forward to healing.
To anyone affected by this, I offer my sincere empathy and regret. I acknowledge the pain and trauma that often accompanies situations like these and I will strive to hold space for your healing. Personally, this has been a painful journey — one that has deeply challenged my trust and faith in relationships — but I am committed to working through my own trauma with care and responsibility.
To those who believed in the band and the community we shared, I want to express my deep gratitude. I am ashamed of what has happened, but I am also attempting to grow from it. I do not yet know what my path with art or music will look like, but I only wish to lead with love and walk with kindness and beauty.
It is a difficult time in this world.
Please be gentle with yourselves and each other.”
More details have surfaced regarding the death of Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers. According to TMZ, the person who made the 911 call found him in the bathroom face down in a pool of blood and started performing CPR before the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Department arrived. A deputy says they tried to perform CPR as well, but he was ultimately pronounced dead by the St. Johns County Fire Rescue. Rivers appeared to have suffered a cut over his eye after seemingly falling off the toilet. The musician’s face and neck were also dark blue, while the rest of his body was flushed. That appearance is common in cases involving pulmonary embolisms. The deputy also noted that a small amount of coagulated blood was discovered in the bathroom as well. A cause of death is still pending, but a previous report said Rivers was “nonresponsive” and “in cardiac arrest” when authorities received an “attended death” call. For those unaware, an “attended death” is for patients who are under medical care for serious or life-threatening illnesses that result in death. A post from his bandmate DJ Lethal also seemed to suggest that he was battling cancer.
