Failure have announced a special streaming event, which they are calling “We Are Hallucinations.” The online show will take place on December 15 at 12:00pm PDT/3:00pm EDT and tickets can be purchased HERE. Failure’s Greg Edwards said the following about the event:
“This film is comprised of performances from our Summer 2022 Wild Type Droid tour of North America. It’s crazy that we have never made a concert film before, but I think this will really stand as a definitive document of the dynamic between the three of us on stage and the connection we have with our fans.”
Black Stone Cherry have partnered with StagePilot for a special livestream show called “No Ceiling: Celebrating 20 Years Of Black Stone Cherry.” The virtual event will broadcast on December 7 and it will feature a performance that was recorded at Nashville’s The Skydeck, a Q&A session conducted by Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, and more.

They also added:
“On a very chilly night in early April when most people would want to be inside enjoying their drinks, we opted to play on a rooftop in downtown Nashville, Tennessee! With quite literally no ceiling above us, we teamed up with StagePilot to bring you this memorable show, plus some incredible bonus content including interviews with the band and our friend Jared James Nichols, acoustic performances, and a very special Q&A on how the band got started and where we’re headed, hosted by our dear friend Lzzy Hale! A celebration of Black Stone Cherry that we know any Cherry Head will absolutely love!”
Hale commented as well:
“It was an honor to celebrate Black Stone Cherry’s twentieth anniversary with the boys! I had a blast taking them down memory lane, and, of course, getting to perform a special acoustic version of ‘Peace is Free’ with them. It’s been a pleasure to call these talented men family! Here’s to the next two decades!”
Ministry will be playing a livestream show on November 20 at 3 p.m. PT. The virtual event will include classic tracks, songs from the band’s latest album “Moral Hygiene” and possibly some special guests. Tickets can be found HERE. Al Jourgensen commented:
“We never intended for Cleveland with NIN to be our last show this year. Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to cancel Europe but we didn’t want to end 2022 without one last show, and this will be one for the books.”
TesseracT’s Daniel Tompkins will streaming a full album performance of “Ruins“ on November 26. The virtual event will also include a Q&A. Tickets can be found HERE. Notably, Tompkins recorded the set with TesseracT’s Amos Williams, Chimp Spanner‘s Paul Ortiz, Monuments’ Mike Malyan, and In Colour‘s Pete Skipper back in January.
Devin Townsend has premiered a new video for his new song “Lightworker.” This track is from his new album “Lightwork,” which will be released on November 4. Notably, Townsend will be celebrating the release of that effort with an acoustic livestream set on November 5 at 12:00pm PDT / 3:00pm EDT. The event, which also includes a fan Q&A, will be available on YouTube.
Townsend commented:
“Hey folks 🙂 track three from Lightwork is now up to bat… and this one is called ‘Lightworker‘ (ta da!)
This album is interesting to me in many ways, but mostly because of how unexpected it was. I’ve been doing interviews and there’s a lot of folks who are surprised at how it turned out, somehow they were expecting brutal music from me or something (frankly, I couldn’t imagine having the energy to go down that road after that last few years, but I can understand the desire for it) it’s just that Lightwork and The Puzzle were both completely unexpected for me, but as I am committed to following where it leads, I simply went as far into them both as I was able.
I just follow the creative flow where it leads, and I’m quite happy with that. To be honest, having started writing again it seems like it was a unique moment in time for me, so I hope you can see it for what it is and appreciate the energy for what it was meant to be.
Lightworker is a song based loosely around Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) who died a few years ago. His book ‘Be Here Now‘ was influential to me as a kid, and when I saw the documentary they made about him on Netflix (Going Home) I felt inspired to write a track in his memory. I reached out to the Ram Dass foundation and they allowed me to use the sample of his voice in the mid section. (Thank you 🙂
The video was made by the same team who did Spirits Will Collide, and they yet again pulled off a huge feat in limited time (Thanks guys 🙂 I wanted a story about a guy who is so attached to his past, and the pain of loss, that any time the ‘monsters’ of his past appear, he runs from it. As a result, he has to live the same dramas over and over again. It’s not until he stands and faces his fear that he can move past it. In this case he can help others by facing the monster and then Finally rest.
I hope you enjoy it, and I really appreciate the support. I hope your week is good, and I hope to see you at the Lightwork Streaming event on November 5th 🙂
Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) will be livestreaming his October 17 show at The Palladium in London, UK. Tickets can be found HERE. The concert, which is also set to feature The Cherry Bombs, will raise money for The Taylor Foundation, which seeks to assist military veterans suffering from PTSD. The frontman commented:
“Not only am I stoked to be coming back to my island to play for my people, I’m over the moon to share it with the rest of the world. We’re gonna laugh, cry, break dance – sky’s the limit. Enjoy, Earth.”
Behemoth will be streaming a four-song set that they filmed on top of the Palace Of Culture & Science in Warsaw, Poland. Fans will be able to watch the performance at 9:00am PDT / 12:00pm EDT on September 15 via YouTube. Adam “Nergal” Darski commented:
“Legions! We have gathered atop Poland’s infamous Palace of Culture to perform four brand new tracks from our record ‘Opvs Contra Natvram‘, released this Friday [September 16]! For a long time, Behemoth have been censored and pursued by the Catholic Church at the behest of our fascist government. This performance, with the backdrop of this building, represents a monumentous middle finger to those pigs and another for Joseph Stalin and his Soviet circle-jerk. Viva Freedom!”
Clutch will be celebrating the release of their new album “Sunrise On Slaughter Beach” by performing it in full at Hammerjacks in Baltimore, MD on September 17. The set will be available to stream for free on YouTube. Frontman Neil Fallon commented:
“‘Sunrise on Slaughter Beach’ is a weird record. It was, by and large, a studio creation. It reminds me a lot of Jam Room in that regard. Under normal circumstances we may not have entertained the idea of using vibraphones, theremin, or backing vocals (thank you Deborah Bond and Frenchie Davis!). But as they say, necessity is the mother of weirdness. The YouTube stream of our September 17th performance at Hammerjack’s is a way to say thank you for all the fans who have supported us over the past 31 years, the last two years in particular. Also, it’s a good way to inspire us to get our shit together and learn the new material.”
Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators’ “Live At Studios 60” set is now available in virtual reality through Soundscape VR’s “Magic Mirror Musical Metaverse.” That performance finds the band performing their latest album “4” in its entirety.
Slash commented:
“I’m really excited about this cool VR interpretation of our live performance at Studios 60. It’s a new and immersive visual that gives it a great ‘in the room’ feel.”
Soundscape VR founder Eric Alexander added:
“It’s a milestone for SVR to showcase legendary artists like Slash. Artists everywhere are seeing SVR and Magic Mirror as the ultimate digital presentation of their art, giving their fans a totally original experience built for the highest levels of immersion. Soundscape continues to lead the world in the exploration and display of the most advanced musical metaverse technologies.”
