  • “Deathgasm II: Goremageddon” To Hit Theaters This Week

    The upcoming “Deathgasm” sequel, “Deathgasm II: Goremageddon,” is set to hit cinemas in the U.S. and Canada tomorrow (September 29). A VOD release will also follow on October 13.

    Milo Cawthorne, Kimberley Crossman, James Joshua Blake, Sam Berkley and Daniel Cresswell are set to reprise their roles in the film. Kieran Charnock, Harrison Keefe, Maggie Nicole Robertson and Adam Scherr will also appear. The score was created by Trivium’s Matt Heafy. The soundtrack will also include tracks from GWAR, Sanguisgabogg, Frozen Soul, Alien Weaponry, etc. Here’s an official synopsis:

    “Years after surviving the demon apocalypse of the original film, Brodie (Milo Crossman) is washed-up, broke, and stuck in small-town purgatory. But when he learns that NoizeQuest, a battle-of-the-bands competition, is coming to his town, he sees a shot at redemption – and maybe even a second chance with his old beau, Medina (Kimberley Crossman). One problem: his drummer is missing an arm, and the rest of his band is, well… dead. Luckily, Brodie still has pages torn from ‘The Black Hymn,’ so raising his bandmates from the great beyond is just a riff away. But with every chord comes blood, guts, and the kind of apocalyptic chaos that only ‘Deathgasm’ can unleash.”

  • Slipknot’s Jim Root On Upcoming Album: “Don’t Expect Another ‘Iowa’ Or Self-Titled Record”

    While responding to a fan on Instagram, Slipknot’s Jim Root further discussed the band’s upcoming album. The guitarist says “don’t expect another ‘Iowa’ or self titled record.”

    The fan initially said the following on a post regarding Root’s guitar rig:

    “please come up with Slayer/Slipknot evil, scary,disgusting, groove… intros…..breakdowns…let this latest Slipknot be your Black Album. ( How?) By not accepting anything but the absolute sic kest, grossest, heaviest riffs on thia green earth. Let all your years culminate to this point..sharpen it into a weapon..and write thw heaviest riffs you’ve ever done. Don’t do all fast shit…you are Slipknot..you are not Thrash metal. The groove is what got Slipknot here. The groove with scary, disgusting…and that dangerous feeling that has been missing. ??? May your riffs flow through”

    Root then responded:

    “thank you! I very important thing for us at this time is to not “repeat” ourselves. It’s gonna hurt some feelings. We’re really experimenting with different approaches… don’t expect another “Iowa” or “self titled” record. We’ve been there. The vibe feels honest and true to me. It’s uneasy and reminds me of recording in the earlier days. I’m not saying that means it will translate to the type of music we’re creating or the sound/production of it. The early records had the vibe. You can’t miss that with Ross.

    But they always sounded “LoFi” to me. And some of the later records felt/sounded “over produced” … like. Too many layers of guitar etc. we don’t need that. Me and mick. L and R and then a few 3rd tracks and maybe solos. That’s it. And of the 16 amps I vetted to record with. Matt and I chose the most pissed off sounding one. Not necessarily the “best” sounding one. The most exciting sounding… liveliest etc. we did track on the floor live with Eloy. We hadn’t done that in a long time for various reasons. Everything is analog and played. All the pieces that need to be there are there.”

  • Sleep Club’s Matt Jones: “Our Newest Single ‘Weight Of Ease’ Has Been Flagged By Spotify’s AI Driven Internal System”

    According to Sleep Club’s Matt Jones, the band’s “newest single ‘Weight of Ease’ has been flagged by Spotify’s Al driven internal system as ‘ineligible for recommendation.’” This is the second time the group have dealt with an issue like this.

    Jones commented:

    “SPOTIFY IS ONCE AGAIN FLAGGING OUR MUSIC AS EITHER GENERATED” OR “VIOLATING TERMS OF USE”

    For the 2nd time in two releases, our newest single “Weight of Ease” has been flagged by Spotify’s Al driven internal system as “ineligible for recommendation”. The first week of this single was the biggest we have ever had. A week after launch, the song appears to have been flagged, and we’ve (once again) seen all algorithmic support vanish.

    Algorithmic support is things things like “radio”, “personalized mixes”, “release radar”,”discover weekly”, etc. These outlets make up roughly 50-70% of the average artists total stream volume. When they vanish, it’s much harder to recoup the cost I sink into recording, gear, time not working my day jobs, etc. Particularly before we go on tour, which is very expensive, this is a hard pill to swallow.

    The good news is that this is an issue that Spotify has previously addressed and fixed. The last time this happened, it was the entirety of our catalog. This time, it’s just “Weight of Ease“. It took roughly 5 weeks to get our catalog “eligible for recomendation” again. I anticipate roughly the same wait here.

    As it stands, I have to wait to release the final single of the album, “Bruiser“, until this is all settled. It’s ironic that this album, which is about the intrusion of Al into every aspects of our lives, keeps getting flagged by Al systems incorrectly. It’d be more humorous if these things didn’t affect our debut album in such a way. The other good news is that given the now very slow rollout of this album, I’ve had plenty of time to really
    markedly improve its sound. When it does come out, I’ll be so excited to FINALLY share it with you all.

    See you all on the road – Matt“

  • Pearl Jam Frontman Eddie Vedder Thanks Abe Laboriel Jr. For “Sitting In On Drums”

    Pearl Jam vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vedder has taken to Instagram to thank Abe Laboriel Jr. for “sitting in on drums” at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, CA. It is still unclear if his role in the band is permanent.

    Vedder said the following:

    “Hello good humans,

    Just a quick note on this Monday morning to thank each and everyone who came out to Ohana Fest this year. Three days of great groups, all of whom were further energized by the pumped up vibes from a perfect crowd. You all made our tenth year so special and we are GRATEFUL.

    Also wanted to extend our further appreciation to Abe Laboriel Jr. sitting in on drums for PJ.

    It was a joy to play with him, and he’s obviously extraordinary at his craft. The man works and PLAYS hard.

    It is no wonder he’s been with the ultimate Maestro Paul McCartney and his mind blowing band for decades. Thank you so much for this weekend Abe. And thank YOU Paul. We owe you big time.

    — Eddie“
