The band’s cover of The Tragically Hip’s “Fully Completely” can be found below. Vocalist George Pettit commented:
“[It’s] one of those things where you come up with the idea, you say it out loud, and then you never do it. For most people it would probably end there. Lucky for you, Alexisonfire isn’t ‘most people.’ We love fun.”
Unto Others have announced a new EP titled “I Believe In Halloween II.” The effort will be released on October 17 and its first single, “What I Did…,” can be found below:
“I Believe In Halloween II” Track Listing:
01. “They Came From Space“
02. “What I Did…“
03. “Robots“
04. “Halloween“ (Misfits cover)
05. “ Pet Sematary“ (Ramones cover)
The band commented on the new songs:
“In ‘They Came From Space‘, man searches the skies for traces of life beyond, only to find cold infinite empty space in every direction. There’s just one place we didn’t think to check…
‘What I Did…‘ He’s just a cool dude looking for a good time. Out all night getting trashed with his friends, they could all use just one more drink. Who could it hurt?
In ‘Robots‘, dream becomes nightmare as the line between realities is violently severed by sinister electrical android automatons!”
BABYMETAL and Poppy have shared a new live video for their collaborative track “From Me To U.” You can check that out below. The clip was filmed during a concert at The O2 Arena in London, England on May 30. The track is from BABYMETAL’s latest album “Metal Forth.”
Pallbearer have shared an official video for “Watcher In The Dark” from the “2025 Redux” edition of their 2014 album “Foundations Of Burden.” That effort will receive a digital release on November 7 and a physical release on December 5. The sonically reconstructed record was mixed by Mario Quintero (Spotlights) and mastered by Adam Gonsalves.
The group commented:
“While ‘Foundations of Burden‘ has always been dear to us, and in many ways helped define our “sound” as a band, its recording and mixing sessions were ‘troubled.’ Though we stand by the legacy of what was created back in 2014, we had always hoped to revisit it and unveil more of the performances from the four of us that had been sonically obscured as we tried our hardest to make the best of what we had given the adverse circumstances.
This new version doesn’t replace the original — it offers a different way to experience an album we remain extremely proud of, and the overwhelming majority of what you will hear on this reissue is from the original performances at the now-defunct Type Foundry studio in Portland, OR. In order to achieve our sonic goals in 2025, Devin and Brett each painstakingly re-tracked a single foundational layer of rhythm guitars, captured via our own treasured collection of tube amplifiers, microphones, and outboard gear. The end result is a recasting of the record that we believe sounds heavier, clearer and more expansive than ever before.”

Megadeth have premiered a new video for their new song “Tipping Point.” The track will appear on the band’s upcoming farewell album. That self-titled effort will be released on January 23. Dave Mustaine commented:
“We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day. I think we’re all being pushed to the edge right now, and it’s easy to lean into that feeling. But it’s important not to let things get you down.”
Last night (October 2), Living Colour performed “Cult Of Personality” live during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!.” You can see footage of that below:
System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian is streaming a new song titled “Kneeling Away From The Sun.” The track, which features guitarist D.S. Bradford, will appear on the frontman’s new album, “Covers, Collaborations & Collages,” which will be released on October 24. Tankian commented:
“Originally, parts of this song were written while in the studio with AVICII some years ago. We had planned on coming together on a song, though it never fully came to fruition before his career took off, and then, sadly, he passed away. The parts I had were very important to me, so I used those to create ‘Kneeling Away From The Sun.’”
Fimbul Winter (ex-Amon Amarth, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “Mounds Of Stones.” This track is from the band’s new EP “What Once Was,” which will be released on November 14. The group commented:
“We’ve poured our passion, energy, and heart into this track. It’s more than just a song, it’s our way of showing the world what we’re capable of, and we can’t wait for people to finally hear it. ‘Mounds Of Stones’ tells the story of a figure shaped by suffering, who turns his pain into vengeance. He isn’t remembered by name, only by the silence and the stones left behind.”
