Holy Wars have premiered a new video for their song “I.F.O.Y.G.” That track is from the band’s latest album “Shadow Work / Light Work.”
Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Riki Rachtman (“Headbangers Ball”) have joined forces for a new podcast called “The Ball.” The first episode was released earlier this week and can be found below:
Rachtman commented:
“In case you didn’t know, before ‘Headbangers Ball’, there was a show — I think it was called ‘Heavy Metal Mania’ — that was hosted by Dee Snider, and it was actually the precursor to ‘Headbangers Ball’. And then, of course, I hosted the ‘Headbangers Ball’. And then, some of you might remember, maybe four years ago, I did a show called ‘The Ball’, where I picked every video, I picked every guest, I actually filmed it with my own iPhone and edited it myself.
It’s gonna be like a podcast. It’s gonna be on YouTube and Spotify and iTunes and all those other things, but it is also a video show. We are also filming it. So we’re just kind of just doing it. It’s not all slick, but when you see the set, it looks insane.
We already shot it, and the set is amazing. There is gonna be a Patreon for that show where you can participate live, ’cause we’re gonna record the show live. There’s no editing. We kind of just went into this set and just kind of shot it and just had fun, and we didn’t really know exactly what we were gonna talk about.”
Triumph have cancelled their fall U.S. tour. The trek was scrapped “due to sudden and unexpected medical circumstances affecting the band.”

The group commented:
“It is with deep disappointment that we announce the cancellation of the remaining 2026 RELOADED Tour dates due to sudden and unexpected medical circumstances affecting the band. With the second leg of the tour set to begin in just under three weeks, these circumstances prevent us from being able to rehearse and move forward with the current shows as planned. We recognize that this announcement comes on short notice, and sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this will cause.
To our fans: thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support. We’ve always known that TRIUMPH has the best fans in the world, and are continually humbled by the love you show us. Your support means more than we can put into lyrics, especially during a difficult time like this. Thankfully, the outlook is positive and we will be back on stage with you as soon as possible.
All tickets purchased for the affected dates will be refunded automatically through the original point of purchase. Ticketholders do not need to take any action to initiate their refunds. Fans with questions regarding their orders should contact the ticket provider from which they purchased their tickets.”
