It looks like the Sick New World festival will be hitting two destinations in 2026. It has already been confirmed that the event will be returning to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, NV on April 25. However, recent teasers seem to suggest that an additional stop is also being planned in Fort Worth, TX for October 24. Stay tuned for more details.
System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has premiered a new song titled “Sonic Expulsions.” This track is from his new album, “Covers, Collaborations & Collages,” which will be released on October 24. Tankian commented:
“I wrote this song in New Zealand about a decade ago. It started with acoustic guitar and was built out with beats and different instrumentation. The vocals are a one-take stream of consciousness about love. It’s a lighthearted track and kind of silly in some parts. Enjoy!”
During a recent interview with Loaded Radio, Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey revealed that the band are planning to release a new live album. He said the following:
“We’re actually working on a live album right now. Yeah, we’re in the mixing process… So I’m excited about that. [We’re] working on the artwork now.”

Shinedown have premiered a new video for their song “Three Six Five.” The band commented:
“This year’s been one for the books and playing ‘Three Six Five‘ live with thousands of you has been unforgettable. Relive it with this brand new video, packed with highlights from the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour.”
Frontman Brent Smith also says the following before live performances of the track:
“Do me a favor, if you lost someone in your life that’s no longer on this planet anymore and you think about them every single day and say to yourself ‘I wish had one more day (with them), if I had one more minute,’ and they’re no longer on this planet I want you to raise your hand.”

TRUSTcompany‘s “The Lonely Position Of Neutral” has been released on vinyl for the first time through Smartpunk Records. Two variants can be purchased HERE.
Vocalist Kevin Palmer commented:
“It’s wild to think that 23 years after its release, ‘The Lonely Position of Neutral‘ is finally available on vinyl. This record changed our lives, and we’re beyond thankful that it continues to connect with people all these years later.”
Smartpunk Records label manager Matt Burns added:
“This record, and specifically ‘Downfall‘, created a core memory in my mind from when you’d discover new music on the radio. I remember in the early 2000s, I would find out about so many new bands from MTV or MuchMusic, but I got turned onto TRUSTcompany from our local South Florida rock station (shoutout ZETA 94.9)!
I got tickets to see the band at the Halloweenie Roast, which also had KoRn and I think Theory of a Deadman? Tickets were probably only like $30, but I remember the band blew my young mind away! I picked up the CD from a local shop shortly after, and to be able to work with the band over 20 years later on this release is so insane to me!”
Saliva have premiered a new song titled “Too Broke To Fix.” That track features Austin John Winkler (ex-Hinder) and a video for it can be found below:
Saliva vocalist Bobby Amaru commented:
“The song dives into mental health, identity, and the feeling of living on the edge of control. It’s about masking pain, feeling lost, and trying to find meaning in the chaos. Having Austin on this track was a blast. I’ve always been a fan of his voice, and getting him involved just made total sense. He brings so much raw energy and emotion to the song. He’s got something to say, and I’m here for it.”
Winkler added:
“‘Too Broke To Fix‘ was a song I knew I’d be into right away, just based on the title alone. I’ve felt that way many times in my life. When Bobby sent it to me and I listened to the opening guitar riff, I was in 100%! It was amazing collaborating on it with him and I think our voices really capture the rawness of the message in the song and we delivered a fire track for the world to get down to! I can’t wait to play it live!”
