talking about Megadeth, Poppy,
Orbit Culture, and more.
“Poppy has just announced her brand-new seventh studio album, Empty Hands. The follow-up to 2024’s Negative Spaces will arrive on January 23, 2026 via Sumerian Records, and according to a press release it’ll feature ‘industrial elements, pop sensibilities and moments that call back to Poppy’s surrealist roots with her signature uncanny, machine-like voice’. She’s previewing what’s to come with heavy, Jordan Fish-produced single Bruised Sky, which she first debuted live in September and has already performed across North America.” (Kerrang)

Five new songs in the world of heavy music worth hearing.
What are you listening to?
“Southern California band Of Mice & Men have released their new album Another Miracle via Century Media Records. The band have teased the album with 4 of the LP’s singles including this week’s “Flowers,” and before that “Troubled Water,” Another Miracle’s title track and “Wake Up,” which hit #17 on the Active Rock Radio chart. The album’s 12 tracks find Of Mice & Men at their most personal and most expansive. The album was crafted entirely in-house – written, produced, and engineered by the band themselves. “The process of self-recording and self-producing this album as well the last two has seen us really trying to one up what we’ve done in the past – and it’s on us to do that,” drummer Valentino Arteaga explains. “On this album in particular, we wanted to push the boundaries of what that sounds like for our band.” (Press Release)
