Malevolent Creation Reunite With Vocalist/Guitarist Deron Miller
Malevolent Creation have reunited with vocalist/guitarist Deron Miller (ex-CKY). The band commented:
“It is official!! Malevolent Creation has returned to a 5 piece with Deron Miler returning on vocals/ guitar, Jesse Jolly bass/vocals, Chris Cannella guitars, Ronnie Parmer drums and Phil Fasciana guitars. We feel this will be the best way to retain the classic MC sound and now with 3 guitars we can do things we have wanted to do but never could. 3 part guitar harmonies and playing songs that have not been played in many years. Were going to start working on our 14th studio album in January and there will be no live shows in 2026( never say never) but finishing our new album is top priority. Let’s welcome Deron Miller back into the band and this line up should be very intense on our new album ‘Return Fire‘”

Limp Bizkit Play First Show Following The Passing Of Sam Rivers
Last night (November 29), Limp Bizkit returned to the stage at Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico. The concert served as the band’s first since the death of Sam Rivers. Richie “Kid Not” Buxton, Ecca Vandal’s songwriting partner and producer, filled in for the late bassist.
The show found the band paying tribute to Rivers with old video clips and messages that said “Sam Rivers, our brother forever” and “Sam Rivers, we love you forever.”
Drummer John Otto also shared his own tribute on social media before the performance:
“Today is going to be tough. A first I never wanted to experience. Especially not now. You’ve been there for so many major firsts in my life. Some of my earliest memories were made with you. We grew up together. Laughed together. Realized our dreams together. And traveled the world together. You’ve always been there. The godfather to my girls, my best friend — my brother. There will never be another you. We’re going to honor the life you lived and the love you spread with every show we play. You’ll always be with us. Thank you to our fans for all the messages of support and tributes to Sam. It means the world to us. This one’s for you Sammy.”

The All-American Rejects have premiered a new song titled “Get This.” That track will appear on the band’s upcoming album “Sandbox.” Frontman Tyson Ritter commented:
“Little hooks will sit in your pockets like a lead weight that won’t shake out in the dryer. ‘Get This’ was a song born on a drive. It was made in the sunshine on the back porch of our family home. Pure fun like the company it was written around.”

Cronos Allegedly Declined An Offer To Join Original Venom Members For “Welcome To Hell” 45th Anniversary Celebration
As previously reported, ex-Venom guitarist Jeff “Mantas” Dunn and drummer Anthony “Abaddon” Bray are planning to celebrate the 45th anniversary of “Welcome To Hell” during festival appearances next year. Now, Dunn has revealed that bassist/vocalist Conrad “Cronos” Lant was invited as well. However, he ultimately declined the offer.
Dunn told MetalKaoz the following:
“I’ll tell you right now that for 2026, the 45th anniversary of ‘Welcome To Hell’, Cronos has been invited. He was invited by me. He was invited by the lawyers in the [recent] court case [involving Cronos and Abaddon]. His answer was, ‘It’s not worth my time.’ That was his answer.”
He also added the following about his lack of desire to spend more time with Lant:
“What I say to people is this. Fair enough, everybody wants to see their favorite members back together. We know that. ‘And, oh, yeah, just travel separate. Just go in separate hotels.’ We’ve done all that. We’ve done that. We did it on the first reunion. Okay, think of the most toxic relationship you’ve ever been involved in, how it made you feel. At your age now, invite it back into your life.”
