On top of that, “Two Minutes To Late Night” have also released a remastered cover of Miley Cyrus‘ “Wrecking Ball” to help out as well. That track is available on Bandcamp until 12am PDT tonight (February 15).

During a recent appearance on the “BREWtally Speaking Podcast“, Ben Koller offered updates on new material from Converge and Mutoid Man. He said the following:
“Yea Converge, we have a ton of stuff ready to go. We just need to get in the studio and sort of hash it out. I think right now I’m at the point where I’m just ready to move on and start doing stuff, because I’m going crazy here not being able to tour and stuff. So I’m ready to fly back to Massachusetts—safely obviously—and get some stuff done. So Converge has stuff, Mutoid Man basically has a whole record ready to go. We just had to get the studio, find the time, but you know it’s a weird time and a lot of weird life stuff going on and yes, it’s, it’s just very strange. I mean I’m definitely stoked to record stuff but yeah it’s just a really weird time right now, but yeah expect new material it’s coming. Maybe slowly, but it’s coming.”
Joe Biden has won the 2020 election and will now become the 46th president of the United States. A number of rock/metal musicians have taken to social media to react to the good news and you can find some of their various posts below:
Amy Lee (Evanescence):
No one can silence the voice of the people. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
In the past 4 years I have not said the word President with a name after it. Not even one time. It feels glorious 😂 beautiful ✌ to say the words PRESIDENT BIDEN thank you for #hope for rocknroll! MORE THAN ANYTHING thank you @JoeBiden for my KIDS CHILDHOODS BEING RESTORED 🙏🇺🇸 https://t.co/0SBmaaONSD
Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden, and more importantly Oakland-native Kamala Harris. A historic day for people of color and women. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/RkDYRKQAXa
Fuck yes America!! It’s time to get this shit together! Trump followers, let go of all that fear and hate you have been served for the past four years. It was all a lie! Don’t drink the cool aid and go down with that clown. Let’s celebrate and beat COVID together!
Objectively, Trump is personally in a far better position by losing than he would be by winning. He finally has the branding that he’d aspired to have (albeit in a different field than he’d intended) AND he’s now in position to ACTUALLY make all that money that he claims to have.
I’m so looking forward to coming back to an America free of harsh words and name calling and be amongst people who I know have common ground and harmony. It’s a challenge but it can be done!
Happy to see 'ol Donny relegated to the dustbin of history. Can we all agree to refer to him as "Lame Duck President Trump"? How long do we have to wait before ripping into the corporate stooge aka "President Elect" Biden? Asking for all my friends.
Just got off the phone with my grandmother and hearing her excitement from today’s news & the reality that we finally have our first female Vice President and the overwhelming hope that comes from the beginning of this new day in America brought me to tears🖤
