  • Earshot To Release New Album “Humaning” This Month

    Earshot have revealed that they will be digitally releasing their new album, “Humaning,” on October 10. Physical copies will also be available early next year. The record will serve as the band’s first since 2008.

    “Humaning” Track Listing:

    01. “What Are You Waiting For”
    02. “Where Were You?”
    03. “Out of My Hands”
    04. “I’m OK”
    05. “Higher”
    06. “Mistakes I Always Make”
    07. “Heart & Chain”
    08. “Any Other Way”
    09. “Like There’s No Tomorrow”
    10. “Worlds Away”
    11. “Unlost”

    Vocalist Wil Martin previously commented:

    “We’ve worked harder on this record than anything before. ‘Humaning’ is every ounce of our struggles, resilience, questions, and hope poured into one body of work.

    It’s lyrically charged, sonically heavy and melodic, pulling from the raw intensity of ‘Letting Go’ and the heaviness of ‘TWO.’

    Born from one of the hardest chapters of my life, these songs carry the weight of indecision, abandonment, disappointment, growth, and ultimately acceptance. It’s about rediscovering strength, letting go of what we can’t control, and remembering that life isn’t about being perfect, it’s about doing the best we can and moving forward.

    This album is more than 11 songs. It’s about survival, healing, hope, purpose, and strength.

    This is ‘Humaning.’”

  • Trent Reznor And Atticus Ross Cancel Their Future Ruins Festival

    Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have officially cancelled their Future Ruins festival. The event, which was scheduled to take place at the Equestrian Center in Los Angeles, CA on November 8, was supposed to feature a number of film and television composers. This includes the aforementioned duo, Danny Elfman, John Carpenter, and more. The following statement was issued:

    “Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges and complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that’s defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we’re choosing to re-think and re-evaluate. Meanwhile, we are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate all the interest and support. Refunds will be automatically issued and ticket holders will receive an email with more information.”

  • Spencer Elden Appeals Latest Ruling In Nirvana “Nevermind” Baby Case

    According to Billboard, Spencer Elden, the man who appeared on the cover of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” as a baby, has appealed the latest ruling on his “child pornography” lawsuit against the band. This news comes shortly after Judge Fernando M. Olguin dismissed the case once again.

    As previously reported, Olguin recently ruled that the album cover did not meet the criteria for “child pornography.” According to him, the photo is “analogous to a family photo of a nude child bathing.” He also referenced instances in which Elden recreated the album cover in 2016, got a “Nevermind” tattoo on his chest, etc.

    Despite this, Elden’s lawyer James Marsh says they “respectfully disagree” with Olguin’s assessment:

    “As long as the entertainment industry prioritizes profits over childhood privacy, consent and dignity, we will continue our pursuit for awareness and accountability.”

    For their part, Nirvana’s legal team are still up for the fight. The band’s attorney Bert Deixler says they intend to “resist with vigor and will prevail.”

    Elden initially filed his lawsuit after claiming Nirvana “intentionally commercially marketed the child pornography depicting [him] and leveraged the lascivious nature of his image to promote the ‘Nevermind’ album, the band, and Nirvana’s music, while earning, at a minimum, tens of millions of dollars in the aggregate.” He also claimed to have suffered “lifelong damages” as a result.

  • Saint Asonia (Three Days Grace, Etc.) To Release Cover Of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” This Month

    Saint Asonia (Three Days Grace, Staind, etc.) will be releasing a new cover of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” on October 10. The band said the following about that:

    “We actually recorded this cover years ago while we were recording the ‘Extrovert’ EP. It didn’t end up on the EP, and when we recently lost Ozzy, we all talked, and decided now was the time to put it out there. It’s just our own little tribute to the band and the man who changed the landscape of heavy music forever, and opened the door for bands like us. We love you Oz.”
