  • Steve Perry Shoots Down Rumors Suggesting He Is Rejoining Journey

    Steve Perry has confirmed that he will not be reuniting with Journey during their farewell tour. The singer’s comments come after keyboardist Jonathan Cain claimed he may make a guest appearance.

    Cain told Ultimate Classic Rock the following:

    “Neal [Schon] already asked [Perry to take part] and he says he’s thinking about it. I hope he comes out. It’s never too late. We’ve got 100 shows, so he’s welcome at any one of them. He didn’t say no — leave it at that.”

    This ignited rumors, which Perry had to dispel:

    “To all my friends – I’ve been hearing these recent rumors, and I wanted to speak to you all directly. While I’m always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest.

    I completely understand why people would hope for that. The music we created together means a great deal to me too. But I’m continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today.

    Thank you for your continued support throughout the years. Your loyalty has never gone unnoticed, and I am forever humbly grateful.

    Sincerely, Steve Perry”

  • Primal Fear Premiere New Song “One”

    Primal Fear have premiered a new song titled “One.” The track was recorded during the “Domination” sessions and a video for it can be found below. Bassist and producer Mat Sinner commented:

    “‘One’ is a continuation of the ‘Domination’ atmosphere. A massive riff, true [Primal Fear] melodies, a driving groove, and Ralf’s [Scheepers] characteristic vocals. It’s like a teaser for the second leg of our European tour as well as our upcoming South American run. Our cover artist, Death.Milk.Designs, has created a killer video clip with a collection of awesome scenes. Enjoy listening and watching the video. We’re incredibly excited for the next part of the tour!”

    The group commented:

    “We are proud to finally share some news about our eighth studio album, ‘The Ghost Of A Future Dead’. The album will be released on April 24, 2026 — more than two years after it was completed in the studio.

    As you all know, Tomas Lindberg passed away last year due to complications from his cancer treatment. Over the past few years, we worked closely with Tomas, discussing and refining every detail to ensure nothing was left to chance.

    In accordance with Tomas’s wishes — including the album title, sound mix, track order, artwork, and overall presentation — ‘The Ghost Of A Future Dead’ remains true to form. It combines the ferocious energy and hard-hitting powerful melodies that is the essence of At The Gates. This album is Tomas’s legacy.”

    A music video for the effort’s first single, “The Fever Mask,” can be found below. The band also added the following about that track:

    “‘The Fever Mask’ was one of the final songs written for the album and quickly stood out as the natural choice for both the opening track and the first single for ‘The Ghost Of A Future Dead’. It perfectly captures the essence of At The Gates, blending raw energy, strong melody and beautiful lyrics by Tomas.”

  • Artillery Announce New EP “Made In Hell”

The group said the following about that song:

    “‘Ghost In The Machine’ is the A.I. threat we are all facing — especially us musicians right now. Yes, just as James Cameron predicted back in ‘Terminator’ in 1984.”

  • Alex Van Halen Confirms Him And His Brother Once Discussed The Possibility Of Making An Album With Ozzy Osbourne

    During a recent interview with Kazagastão, Van Halen’s Alex Van Halen confirmed that him and his late brother Eddie Van Halen once discussed the possibility of recording an album with the late Ozzy Osbourne. However, the idea never materialized.

    Alex said the following:

    “Oh, yeah. No. Ed and I met with Sharon [Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager], because we were kind of at a loss of which direction we wanted to go. That was probably in about 2000… I’m trying to remember, because it was right before [‘The Osbournes’] TV show; the next day they had that TV show. So we sat with Sharon. I mean, it was kind of an interesting evening because she’s a lovely lady. I don’t know what people would say about her, grousing and complain[ing], but she’s a lovely lady who really had to fend for herself in a male-dominated world. We played several times with Ozzy on the bill, and she was always there to support him, to guide him, to give him comfort because most performers are not as sure of themselves as they appear to be. So we got together and the final thing we talked about was, she says, ‘Okay, it sounds like a good idea. Let’s do that. Let’s make a record together. Only one thing. I have a meeting tomorrow with some people about a television show.’ And the rest is history. That’s how close it got.”
