The group said the following:
“💔 In Loving Memory of Our Brother, Sam Rivers 💔
Today we lost our brother.
Our bandmate.
Our heartbeat.Sam Rivers wasn’t just our bass player — he was pure magic.
The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.From the first note we ever played together, Sam brought a light and a rhythm that could never be replaced. His talent was effortless, his presence unforgettable, his heart enormous.
We shared so many moments — wild ones, quiet ones, beautiful ones — and every one of them meant more because Sam was there.
He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of human.
A true legend of legends.
And his spirit will live forever in every groove, every stage, every memory.We love you, Sam.
We’ll carry you with us, always.Rest easy, brother.
Your music never ends.— Fred, Wes, John & DJ Lethal ❤️”

According to Billboard, Slipknot have filed a lawsuit against the owner of slipknot.com. The band, who operate under slipknot1.com, accused the cybersquatter of using pay-for-click advertising that directs fans to counterfeit merch.
The complaint was made under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in an effort to reclaim the domain, which has been held by the user since 2001. The suit also includes allegations of trademark infringement and unfair competition. The band are seeking financial damages and an injunction from a judge to gain control of the domain.
The group’s lawyer Craig Reilly commented:
“The domain name was registered in an effort to profit off of plaintiff’s goodwill and to trick unsuspecting visitors — under the impression they are visiting a website owned, operated or affiliated with plaintiff — into clicking on web searches and other sponsored links. A fan of plaintiff or someone who otherwise wanted to purchase authorized Slipknot merchandise would undoubtedly visit the slipknot.com website assuming it belonged to plaintiff and then purchase the slipknot merchandise linked to on the site, causing damages to plaintiff.”

Crucifiction will be releasing a new remix EP, titled “WILL2POWER,” on Halloween (October 31). The first single, Midnight Nightmare and Salem Vex’s remix of “CAGED4EXTERMINATION,“ can be found below:
“WILL2POWER” Track Listing:
01. “CAGED4EXTERMINATION” (remix) (Midnight Nightmare & Salem Vex)
02. “AMPUTATED_SATISFACTION” (remix) (harm.icu)
03. “WILL2POWER” (remix) (Romani)

Vex commented:
“This EP felt like the natural evolution of our previous record. Growing up, I was heavily inspired by bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria. They always released incredible remix albums that expanded on their original work. Creating something similar for our record just felt right. The entire EP came together with close friends, capturing the same chaos and energy as the original while blending in my favorite elements of electronic music.”
U.D.O. have parted ways with guitarist Andrey Smirnov. The band issued the following statement:
“After many years of successful collaboration, U.D.O. / Dirkschneider and guitarist Andrey Smirnov have decided to part ways. This decision was made amicably and with mutual respect. The band would like to thank Andrey for his outstanding musicianship, dedication and contribution to U.D.O. over the years. We wish him continued success in all of his future endeavors. U.D.O. and Dirkschneider will continue with all upcoming projects and live shows as planned and further news will be announced soon.”
