Testament have shared their cover of Metallica’s “Seek & Destroy.” That track will appear on Silver Lining Music’s Metallica tribute album, “No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All,” which will be released on November 14. Testament vocalist Chuck Billy commented:
“We had fun covering Metallica’s song ‘Seek & Destroy.’ Songs like this started a movement.”
Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd is featured on a new Kurt Deimer song titled “In Deep.” You can find a video for that track below. Notably, the clip includes footage from Deimer’s upcoming movie “Scared To Death.”
Deimer commented:
“I recently was very lucky to tour with Buckcherry and Josh and the band were really great. Towards the end of this most recent tour, I had been speaking with Josh and he was gracious enough to agree to collaborate on a song together. I had this song I thought he would be perfect on, originally called ‘He Was Good To Me,’ and it was about women unfortunately falling prey to men with bad intentions. He listened to it but wanted to re-do the lyrics. The song now is about how you can get in to a relationship and you are in it too deep. You gotta watch out for those situations. It’s really about thinking before you act and get too involved.
During the creative process when Josh and I got together at Chris Lord-Alge’s studio and I saw Josh in the vocal booth being Josh Todd like he is on stage with Buckcherry and how in to it he was I just knew this had to be my next single. It’s a blessing for me to be able to share my art and Josh was more than gracious to help and be a part of this killer tune ‘In Deep.’ I hope you all enjoy it.”

Ov Sulfur have premiered a new video for their new song “Wither.” This track is from the band’s new album “Endless,” which will be released on January 16.
Chase Wilson commented:
“We know ‘Wither’ is different and that it’s not the norm for bands like us to do a song like this, but we felt we had to honor our families and in doing so created something very special to us in the process.
I had a lot I wanted to say about my grandparents’ passing, as I was very close to them and had a multitude of different emotions I needed to express. Ricky allowed me the honor of splitting singing duties on this song with him, as we joined each other in grief and mourning.
My grandfather worked as an MC back in the days of Sinatra, The Rat Pack and artists like that. It was always his dream to make it in show business and be on a record some day. It’s bittersweet we were able to make it happen for him after his passing (he’s the voice clip at the end of the song). I wish he was around to hear it.”
Ricky Hoover added:
“My grandmother was the glue that held my family together. She was the strongest person I’ve ever known and had the ability to forgive those who wronged her, a quality I wish I had. She was truly the best example of what being a good person is.
She watched my siblings and I almost every day while my parents were at work, so we were always incredibly close. I used to call her on my way home from work, fill her in on things and just talk. Now I still find myself calling everyone I know on the drive because of how much I miss the talks we had.
After she died I had so many nights spent awake alone wishing I could share in the belief I’d see her or hear her voice again: hours desperately trying to give myself the false hope I would. Eventually, I reached the cold realization that I never would. Some nights I still find myself lost and trying to lose myself in that hope…or delusion.
The voicemails (of her wishing me a Merry Christmas or that she hopes I have a good show) were something I couldn’t even force myself to listen to until the day I recorded this song. I sent all the ones I had into the studio prior to me going. These were the ones chosen. She always said she wished I sang more in my music, so that’s what I did. I wish she was around to hear it.”

It’s an amazing feeling to see those old conversations and hangouts develop into a true celebration of blistering infernal death metal. I have no doubt that this union will be absolutely crushing.”
Wes Orshoski (“Lemmy”, “The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead”) has shared a new update regarding his documentary on the late Paul Di’Anno (ex-Iron Maiden). The film, which is titled “Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer,” will “start hitting European film fests this month, with a wider release coming next year.”
Orshoski said the following yesterday (October 21):
“With today being the first anniversary of Paul Di’Anno’s death, it seems like the right time to let folks know that starting next week, my documentary about Paul (Iron Maiden’s iconic early frontman) is finally going to leave the nest. Beginning with a friends & family screening on Tuesday in London, ‘Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer’ is going to start hitting European film fests this month, with a wider release coming next year.
I started shooting this film in 2017 and for years there wasn’t much to capture. Paul was in a wheelchair, desperately waiting for surgeries that doctors in the U.K. refused to greenlight. By the time the pandemic hit, Paul’s health had nosedived. And that’s when everything changed for him and my film. Kastro Pergjoni, who runs the Cart & Horses pub in London (known as ‘The Birthplace of iron maiden’) launched a crowd-funding campaign to help Paul take control of his own destiny. Maiden fans around the world gave. And Croatian Maiden superfan/writer Stjepan Juras lobbied for Paul to seek treatment in Zagreb, where he could be treated affordably. Paul acquiesced. Without question, Kastro and Stjepan not only changed Paul’s life, they extended it. My film largely documents their efforts, which were without question responsible for nearly all of the good moments at the end of Paul’s life. So to remember The Beast today, here are some behind the scenes shots.”
Slash (Guns N’ Roses) has shared a new live video for his cover of Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” (aka “Cross Road Blues”). The footage is taken from the guitarist’s new live album/film “Live At The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival.” That effort will be released on November 7 and it will feature his July 17, 2024 performance at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO.
