Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, etc.) has premiered a new video for his latest single “Becoming.” The track, which features Sully Erna (Godsmack) and Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), will appear on his new album, “Hollow,” which is expected to be released in August.
Morrison previously commented:
“‘Becoming‘ is about “transforming out of the darkness and negativity of certain lifestyle choices and becoming a strong, positive and powerful force. For an in-depth description, you would have to ask Sully about the lyrics that he wrote.
When the music to ‘Becoming’ was finally finished, in my mind there was only one person I could imagine singing it, and that was Sully Erna. His work with Godsmack over the decades has just proven his voice to be one of the most powerful in rock music. Plus he’s a great guy to hang with. So fortunately for me, not only was his response ‘Absolutely I’ll sing it.’ We got to record it in Los Angeles together while he was here.
It was a killer vibe, and when we were all at the Above Ground show late last year here in LA, it seemed only fitting for me to ask Nuno to play lead (keeping it Boston on this track!). And again, he graciously agreed, and absolutely killed it. It’s been a pleasure to work with both Sully and Nuno on this song — it’s the perfect collaboration to launch this new album of mine!”
Erna continued:
“I really enjoyed working with Billy and Nuno on this track. It’s always a bit challenging when you have three creative people that work at such high levels of production to get to the finish line, but in the end the product always speaks for itself. And this song is strong! It’s a perfect example of not settling for anything less.”
Bettencourt added:
“When you’re asked to collaborate on a song with incredible artists like Sully Erna and Billy Morrison, you’d have to say ‘yes’ before even hearing the song. But man, when you DO hear the song and it’s as badass as this…you forget who’s on it and just do it for the love of it.”
Ho99o9 have premiered a new video for their song “OK, I’m Reloaded.” That track is from their latest album “Tomorrow We Escape.”
The duo commented:
“We wanted to make a video for one of the meanest and unapologetic songs on the album, with the track paying homage to the movie ‘Carlito’s Way’ & JAŸ-Z’s early albums. IYKYK.”

Kid Bookie has premiered a new video for his latest single “Blame.” As previously reported, that track also features Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour).
Kid Bookie previously commented:
“Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions. I’m around some of the best people who practise that in more ways than one. Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us. New territory, but a familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music. This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honour to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fucking is.”
Taylor added:
“Books is one of my favourite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I’m always excited because I know I’m going to hear something I’ve never heard before. ‘Blame’ was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”

Khemmis have premiered a new video for their new song “Invocation Of The Dreamer.” That track will appear on the band’s new self-titled album, which is set to be released on June 12.
Guitarist/vocalist Ben Hutcherson commented:
“We knew that this song had to be the first single in much the same way we knew it had to be the album opener—it is an undeniable ripper. ‘Invocation Of The Dreamer‘ kicks the front door in, flips over your coffee table, and sets your living room on fire. It has everything you’d expect from a Khemmis song—big riffs, harmonized guitars, infectious vocal melodies—along with a slew of surprises, including blastbeats and a scorching bass break.”
He also added the following about the album:
“We decided early in the songwriting process that we wanted to write a tight, high-energy album that retained the essential ‘Khemmis sound’ while also embodying the joy of creating, experiencing, and loving heavy metal. Ours have always been deeply personal songs born from tragedy and sorrow; while the songs on Khemmis are still undeniably dark—I don’t think we’re capable of writing ‘happy’ music nor can we disentangle our music from our own personal experiences—they are not mined from our suffering.
Instead, this record is a celebration of the music world that has sustained us, both individually and collectively, and has also gifted us with community and a sense of meaning. In many ways, we have reconnected with the energy and excitement from our earliest days as a band, an unabashed desire to play loud, heavy music. That exuberance is infused with a profound sense of gratitude to be able to create art with each other and to share it with the world.”

Tim Montana has premiered a new video for his new song “Break Me Down.” You can check that out below. Montana commented:
“‘Break Me Down’ comes from a place of anxiety, control, and feeling too far gone. It’s about realizing the right person can drag you out of hell — whether you’re ready or not. This one’s for the people who can see light in the darkness, and for the broken souls who never show it on the outside.”
