“Welcome to Week 5 of my ‘Covers, Collaborations & Collages’ song releases. Today, I’m excited to share ‘Things Unspoken’ – a beautiful duet with my dear friend and incredible songwriter from New Zealand, Bic Runga. ‘Things Unspoken’ began its roots on a piano at the Watergate Hotel during a moment of limbo at the start of Ozzfest many years ago and bloomed into this duet, in collaboration with Bic about a dozen years ago while she was in LA.”

Overkill Planning To Release New Album In 2026
During a recent interview with Misplaced Straws, Overkill bassist D.D. Verni offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the effort will be released in 2026.
Verni said the following:
“We are demoing stuff right now. We probably have maybe nine or 10 songs kind of scratched out that I gave to Blitz [OVERKILL singer Bobby Ellsworth] a little while ago. Usually the process is I’ll demo everything up musically [and] then I’ll give it to Blitz. He’ll spend some time with it and kind of do his thing with them. Then we get everybody together, kind of that. So I gave it to Blitz maybe not too long ago.”
He also added the following about release plans:
“I would think next year, for sure. Just when will it be — spring? Will it be fall? Somewhere in there. But [in] ’26 [there] will definitely be a new OVERKILL record.”

Matt Cameron On Soundgarden’s Final Album With Chris Cornell: “I’d Say We’re About Maybe 70 Percent Finished With All The Tracking”
During a recent interview with Lyndsey Parker of Gold Derby and Lyndsanity!, Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron offered another update on the band’s final album with their late frontman Chris Cornell. According to him, the band are “maybe 70 percent finished with all the tracking and stuff.”
Cameron said the following:
“Well, we are in the process of finishing it. We don’t have a release date yet, but I’d say we’re about — I don’t know — maybe 70 percent finished with all the tracking and stuff. So, yeah, it sounds killer. It’s been a really amazing and bittersweet process as well. So, yeah, we are our hard at work at completing that album.”
He went on to discuss the initial sessions with Cornell:
“Well, gosh, we started songwriting together, trading demos back and forth around 2015, ’16, something like that. And then we had some sessions in 2017 before we went out on tour, just rough rehearsal. We recorded some rehearsals. But the vocals that we’re using are from the demos that we all recorded together. And so we’re just sort of building our tracks around those vocal parts. But yeah, it sounds killer, and we’re really excited to finish it.”
He also added the following after Parker mentioned how it “must be emotional and bittersweet to hear” Cornell’s voice:
“It really is. But I think we’re trying to stay focused on the overall sound of it and all the reasons for us doing it. But, yeah, it’s been tough to solo up that voice and hear him loud and clear. But I think the fans will like it and it’s gonna be a really nice way to finish the creative chapter in Soundgarden.”
He continued when asked if any of the new songs will be ready to perform during the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony:
“I don’t think there’s gonna be anything played at the ceremony. And I think the idea is that we wanna wait until everything’s finished and then we’ll start putting out singles. So, unfortunately we don’t have a real strict timeline for that just yet, but it’s pretty close. It’s pretty close.”
Cameron also discussed one new track called “The Road Less Traveled”:
“I wrote this music that I didn’t really know if it would fit for Soundgarden, but I just sent Chris all these musical ideas around 2016 or so, ’16, ’15. And that’s one that he really liked. He made an arrangement from my demo and then he added vocals to it, and it came out really, really good. The lyrics are mesmerizing, as always. But, yeah, that’s gonna be a really great one for people to hear. It has all the trademark elements that Soundgarden fans might be familiar with, as well as a little bit of new territory. And there’s two or three other songs that do sound like the band, but I think we were able to sort of stretch out a little bit creatively, and hopefully when people hear that song, they’ll notice that as well. But, yeah, I guess it’s hard rock. It’s sort of bluesy, sort of psychedelic, sort of folky, I guess all the things that we were known for. So, I hope people like that one when they finally do hear it.”

Panopticon Release “The Poppies Bloom For No King” Benefit EP To Assist Those Impacted By ICE Raids
Panopticon have released a new EP titled “The Poppies Bloom For No King.” The effort will include the title track and a re-recorded version of “Speaking.” Notably, a portion of the proceeds will benefit those impacted by ICE raids in the U.S.
Austin Lunn commented:
“First and foremost;
The imagery, artwork and lyrical devices in this song are in NO WAY a call to violence, but are rather a call to compassion, an expression of frustration at the political/social climate and increasing authoritarianism we are experiencing .The art is a photo collage and digital edit, printed in color separations and layered with vellum using sunlight on a window as a light box. It is a tribute to Gee Vaucher’s piece, “Flying high”.
The song was written in frustration while the USA engaged in mass deportation of immigrants, as well as dropping massive bombs over a distant nation. It was recorded months ago as part of the sessions of the new album and its art was made back at the beginning of August. The point of this EP for me is to express and process emotions in a constructive way while also raising money for those in need.
As such, 75% of money made from this EP will go to help families affected by ICE deportations with legal defense. This is an issue close to my heart as I have many immigrant and multicultural friends and Bek and I both have lived abroad at times in our lives.
I would like to, instead of explaining or expounding upon my intent any further (after the previous sentiment being expressed), direct the reader to the transcribed speech from “the poppies bloom for no king”.
This speech was written by a good friend of mine who, for these purposes, is called Bamse.
Bamse is a Persian American and US citizen, who was so kind and brave in this harrowing time to tell his immigration story as well as how the current administration and political climate has affected his life

Mirador (Greta Van Fleet, Ida Mae) Premiere “Must I Go Bound” Video
Mirador, the project featuring Jake Kiszka (Greta Van Fleet) and Chris Turpin (Ida Mae), have premiered a new video for their new song “Must I Go Bound.” This track is from the band’s newly released self-titled album.
The group commented:
“‘Must I Go Bound’ is a song that draws inspiration from the worn pages of an old ballad book, reimagined, remembered, and retold through the lens of Mirador. It is a folkloric journey steeped in symbolism, with the protagonist lamenting a lost love.
All of us wander the crossroads of our own making, tracing the paths not taken and imagining what could have been. We hope this song reminds people of that universal experience — that from despair comes hope, and from desertion comes redemption.
Recorded live in Dave Cobb’s intimate studio on the windswept shores of Savannah, Georgia, we stripped our sound back to its essence, using parlor guitars to evoke the timeless connection between European folk traditions and American roots music. We wanted our voices to find each other’s in a song that felt like it could have been written a thousand years ago — a testament to the enduring power of love and loss.”
