Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer has expressed interest in bringing back the Family Values Tour. The musician told joy.of.everything the following when asked about a hypothetical return:
“That would be amazing, and have the originals like Ice Cube and Rammstein. I mean, it’s possible.”
“I’ve talked about it. I have talked about it. I’m the one that’s like, ‘let’s do this!’. So I think if we have the right people involved, it could happen.”

King Parrot have premiered a new video for their song “It’s A Rort.” The clip was filmed during the band’s set at the 2026 Flippin’ The Bird Festival in Frankston, Australia. The track appears on their latest album “A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot.” Frontman Matt Young commented:
“When we started playing ‘It’s A Rort,’ we felt that the audience participation factor for the hardcore style breakdown at the end might make it a crowd favourite. It felt like a no-brainer to make a video for this song and when we headlined Flippin’ The Bird in February, we felt it was the right moment to capture the live intensity of the song. ‘Rort’ is a common term we use back home when you’re getting ripped off, scammed, or lied to. We’ve recently found out that ‘rort’ is not a word commonly used in the US so we’ve spent time explaining it to people, as we feel like it’s a pretty apt time to use it!”

Soen have premiered a new video for their song “Axis.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s latest album “Reliance.”
Vocalist Joel Ekelöf commented:
“‘Axis‘ is about the moment when you start to notice that the roles you’re given don’t really belong to you. It’s about stepping beyond that distance we learn to live with, and remembering there’s something stronger underneath it. The fire is already there. The question is if we’re willing to stand closer and follow it together.”
Drummer Martin Lopez continued:
“It’s a straight-up metal anthem for those of us who refuse to pretend that the people in power actually have our best interests at heart. A musical “fuck-you” to all of them.”
Keyboardist/guitarist Lars Åhlund added:
“The video keeps it as simple as it should be. Just us going hard, playing a song we love. It’s a rehearsal captured through the lens of the incredible Patric Ullaeus, and it feels exactly right for a track like ‘Axis.’”
