Drummer Dave McClain has issued a statement regarding his departure from Sacred Reich. According to him, he made the decision “move on.”
McClain said the following:
“Hey everyone!
As I’m sure you’ve heard, I’m no longer with Sacred Reich. Since rejoining in 2018 we made great music and had fun times together. I’ve decided to move on and I wish them all the best in the future! If you’ve been at a Sacred Reich show over the last 6 years, it was my pleasure to perform for you and to meet a lot of you.
Still 100% doing my thing, whether it’s touring, recording, teaching or just playing in my home studio.
Hope to see you all out there in the world again. Now back to my drum room!
Thanks, Dave“

The following statement was issued:
“We deeply regret the passing of Sam Rivers, founding bassist of Limp Bizkit, whose talent and legacy marked generations and will continue to resonate in every note of his music.
In such a significant moment for the band and its fans, Limp Bizkit has decided to continue with its performance on November 29th at the Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, as part of its ‘Gringo Papi Tour‘ 2025.
That night, every riff and every scream of the crowd will resonate in honor of the great legacy Sam offered to to Nu-Metal, because his energy will never cease.

Bleed From Within commented:
“The Dying Sun tour is something we’ve been waiting to announce for a very long time. The plan was to get back to our roots and follow a similar kind of routing that we would have done back in our formative years. Between 2007 and 2010, we performed countless times across the country in these cities and it really helped cement the foundations of our band.
The name of the tour is a nod to one of our favourite tracks from our latest album, but also a teaser of what people can expect to hear at the shows… we consider Dying Sun a deep cut and we’ve already discussed a number of other songs from our catalogue that we would love to bring to the stage that people will not have heard for a VERY long time.
To wrap things up, we are very happy to announce Disembodied Tyrant and Baest as the bands that will be joining us. Both these bands are making a real name for themselves in the world of heavy music and we cannot wait for you to see them. If you don’t know them already, please educate yourself in advance.
This tour is us connecting with the cities and songs that help build us. We hope to see you there!
Ali, Davie, Goonzi, Kennedy, Steven“

According to Blabbermouth, two more men have been arrested in connection to the recent death of convicted pedophile Ian Watkins (ex-Lostprophets). The 23 and 39-year-old were taken into police custody after being accused of conspiracy to murder. They will be questioned today before being bailed and returned to prison.
This news comes after 25-year-old Rashid Gedel and 43-year-old Samuel Dodsworth were recently charged with the murder. As previously reported, Watkins died after being stabbed in the neck at HMP Wakefield. The West Yorkshire police arrived at the prison following the incident and found the disgraced singer dead at the scene.
The musician was at the aforementioned prison serving a 29-year sentence with an additional six years on licence for 13 counts of child sex offences.
Inspector James Entwistle of the Homicide And Major Enquiry Team commented on the recent arrests:
“Extensive enquiries remain ongoing in relation to the murder of Ian Watkins and these arrests form part of that. Ian Watkins’s family are being updated as the investigation progresses. However, we do not anticipate any immediate developments at this stage.”
