  • Puscifer Share Cover Of Low’s “Congregation”

    Puscifer have shared a new cover of Low’s “Congregation.” You can check that out below. Frontman Maynard James Keenan commented:

    “All the madness going on in Minneapolis sent me down a @lowtheband rabbit hole. Missing Mimi Parker. Carina suggested maybe we cover a song in her and their honor. Merchants of Emotion is in our job description. ‘Discovering New and Awful Ways to Treat Each Other’ wasn’t on my Bingo card for 2026, but here we are. #worldwartres #civilwardeux #smalldickenergy”

  • Slipknot Members To Release “Look Outside Your Window” Album On Record Store Day

    Back in 2008, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Corey Taylor, Jim Root, and Sid Wilson recorded an album under the name Look Outside Your Window amid the “All Hope Is Gone“ sessions. Now, it has been confirmed that the effort will receive a vinyl release on Record Store Day (April 18).

    “Look Outside Your Window” Track Listing:

    01. “11th March“
    02. “Moth“
    03. “Dirge“
    04. “Christina“
    05. “Is Real“
    06. “Away“
    07. “In Reverse“
    08. “Toad“
    09. “Juliette“
    10. “U Can’t Stop This“

    The group commented:

    “We knew we were heading down a different creative path, entirely apart from Slipknot, and we followed it eagerly. We called the project Look Outside Your Window as a tribute to this experimental spirit.

    Created during a chaotic time in our shared history, the songs were born late at night, in a house on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Peering out through a big picture window, we wondered about what, or who, might be lurking outside. That sense of the unknown seeped into the music itself. There were no rules; ideas could come from anywhere: subtle drum loops, bits of organ or abstract guitar noise, even samples of frogs or crickets. Guided by emotion and instinct, we let the sounds themselves point the way.”

    Here’s a product description:

    “Look Outside Your Window is Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan, who in the downtime during recording sessions for Slipknot‘s 2008 album ‘All Hope Is Gone,’ began to freely create songs for themselves, exploring new directions with no outside expectations. Over the years, the existence of this project has seen coverage in outlets including Vice, Revolver, NME, Kerrang!, and countless others, and the fans have only grown louder in their demand to hear this album.

    Now over 15 years later, the fans will finally get to experience it for themselves. Splatter vinyl with a die-cut jacket, purple foil on the front of the jacket, purple flood inside the jacket, and embossed text on the back of the jacket.”

  • Mayhem Premiere New Song “Realm Of Endless Misery”

    Mayhem have premiered a new song titled “Realm Of Endless Misery.” You can check out that track below. The single is from the band’s new album, “Liturgy Of Death,” which will be released on February 6.

    Vocalist Attila Csihar commented:

    “‘Realm Of Endless Misery‘ is the third single from the new Mayhem album and presents a state of human existence in which suffering is not an exception but a governing principle. The song portrays human life as a closed realm sustained by repetition, fear, and manipulation, where time itself becomes a mental trap and hope slowly drains from consciousness.

    It does not tell a story and offers no redemption. Through its mantra-like structure and cold, oppressive imagery, the track confronts the listener with the mechanics of misery, revealing a world in which destruction is not an endpoint but a permanent condition. Released as the third single in advance of the whole album, Realm of Endless Misery deepens its unified dark vision and brings the listener one step closer to the final revelation.”

  • Sylosis Premiere “Lacerations” Video

    Sylosis have premiered a new video for their new song “Lacerations.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “The New Flesh,“ which will be released on February 20.

    Vocalist/guitarist Josh Middleton commented:

    “‘Lacerations‘ has become a firm favourite amongst those that have heard the new record. After this song came together during the early stages of writing, I felt a huge sense of relief knowing that we had achieved our best song to date. I couldn’t get the chorus out of my head and that’s usually a good sign. Once we had this song under our belts we knew this album would a big step up in terms of our writing abilities.

    Musically it calls back to some of the darker melancholic sounds from Edge of the Earth or even The Supreme Oppressor but with a ton of heavy riffs in there. Lyrically, this song is about facing your own mortality and health anxiety. I think a lot of people can relate to spiralling out of control when they think something’s wrong and how differently you look at your life, and what matters most when confronted with those intrusive thoughts.”

  • Former Furnace Fest Partner Condemns Sale Of The Event

    As previously reported, Furnace Fest was recently sold as part of a deal to clear its past debts. However, a former festival partner, Mike Ziemer, has since taken to social media to condemn the decision.

    Ziemer said the following:

    “Myself and Ryan Luther were lied to, gaslit, and left off the team after 2024, the year we were told was the last year.

    Ryan and I handled all booking for 2021-2024, I ran all marketing and paid ads for 2021-2024 along with media team and many other tasks, and between us we did most of the on-site coordination. Also, the ticketing company and most major sponsors were my relationships. The remaining two partners got greedy and felt they could do it without us in 2025 despite telling us over and over the fest couldn’t sustain a profit outside of year 1 and 2.

    I kept my mouth shut because I was promised a buy out that never came. Another lie. Ryan and I’s buyouts are not included in the bankruptcy and we are just shit out of luck for everything we built and get to watch it all go down in flames.

    So much for caring about brotherhood and community, just another shining example of Christian hypocrisy that turns so many people away from religion.

    I promise that this will never be the Furnace Fest you all know and love without myself and Ryan being a part of it. It took 4 of us to make this what was so special, but only 2 people to destroy it.

    I have a lot more to say… but that’s for later.”

    He also added:

    “Now that I have finally been able to speak my peace on that other festival, I am ready to fully move forward and return my focus to putting together a dream team of partners for So What?! Music Festival to make a return [tentatively] in 2027.

    I have full confidence that I will be able to bring the right people together to not only bring the festival back, but make sure it stays back for good.

    Things are already happening behind the scenes, but if anyone else is interested in getting involved, speak now.

    I know what the festival means to so many people around the world and I’m ready to relaunch it, even it we scale it down first to build it back up.”
