TRIVIUM Announce “Struck Dead” EP; New Song “Bury Me With My Screams”

Trivium Announce Struck Dead EP for 10/31/25
Band Shares Video For “Bury Me With My Screams”

GRAMMY-nominated heavyweights TRIVIUM — vocalist/guitarist MATTHEW K. HEAFY; guitarist COREY BEAULIEU; bassist PAOLO GREGOLETTO; and drummer ALEX BENT — are thrilled to announce the release of their forthcoming, three-song EP STRUCK DEAD. It arrives on October 31 via longtime label Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here

While it may only be three songs in length, in typical Trivium fashion, it packs a powerhouse punch, thanks to masterful riffing and the dual-style vocal prowess the band has built its nearly three-decade reputation on! It was produced by Trivium and recorded with Mark Lewis at the band’s Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was mixed and mastered by Josh Wilbur.

Today, the band also shares the video for the first single “BURY ME WITH MY SCREAMS.” The song premiered via Heafy’s “Chaos Hour” show on Sirius XM Liquid Metal.

Trivium Struck Dead EP out Oct 31st, 2025

“In 2023, we decided it was finally time to take the next step with The Hangar space we purchased — it was time to turn it into a full studio,” says Gregoletto. “We brought in designer Roger D’Arcy, thanks to an introduction from Mark Lewis, and set out on a year-long build. While construction was underway, we were deep in rehearsals for The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour, celebrating Ascendancy’s 20th anniversary. What started as an idea to release one single during the tour quickly grew into two, then three, as we kept writing while we were waiting for the build-out to be completed.”

He continues, “During that time, the energy of revisiting Ascendancy started bleeding into these new songs. Matt poured a lot of his personal struggles from the past year into the music, and we used the writing process as a cathartic release. Those sessions evolved into a three-song EP that we’re incredibly proud of, and we can’t wait to debut ‘Bury Me With My Screams’ live at Bloodstock Open Air Festival.”

“In recent years, as Lollapalaooza tries to diversify its lineup, organizers will throw in that wild card, odd sock band that has some scratching their heads and others totally jazzed at the surprise. In 2025, that distinction wholly went to Korn. Since forming in Bakersfield, California in 1993, the nu metal founding fathers have kept a steady following (12 million on Facebook alone) but have largely been a festival fringe act, mostly relegated to prominent metal gatherings and European and UK events like Download and Hellfest, or even their own infamous Family Values Tour. In those environments, Korn draws tens of thousands to see their pulsating mix of screeching guitars, loaded basslines, detonating drums and frontman Jonathan Davis’ aggressive barking that have become a consistent draw. But at Lollapalooza, not so much. The last time Korn played the festival, it was 1997 when the event was still touring the country. To put that into perspective, Olivia Rodrigo wasn’t even born yet, and that detail became a proverbial line in the sand that divided the audience on Friday night for their headliner choices.” (Chicago Sun Times – Selena Fragassi)

TankTheTech – What The HELL Is Going On With Slaughter To Prevail?

“When it comes to putting shows together, there are few people more important than the roadies and techs that make sure shit runs smoothly. Without them, you’d have bands doing all the work and while that’s fine for smaller acts or kids getting their feet under them, it’s impossible for major acts touring all over the world. So you’d think an act like Slaughter To Prevail would hire a tour manager that would make sure the people making the shows run would be properly taken care of. Yet according to allegations from the band’s (now former) drum tech Thomas Finch, that’s allegedly not been the case. In a post on his personal Facebook account over the weekend, he laid out a working condition that at face value seems exploitative, abusive, and likely illegal. And while he claims the band themselves are “all WONDERFUL, fun, loving humans,” his main beef lands squarely at their management. Finch’s statement alleges that all of the issues happened while the band was on its run with Marilyn Manson and deals with Slaughter To Prevail’s “new band manager and current [tour manager’s]” alleged “disorganization, mismanagement, financial instability, and blatant disrespect toward crew members.” (Loudwire)

PUSCIFER Release “In Case You Were Napping” Retrospective Collection

PUSCIFER Release “In Case You Were Napping”
Retrospective Collection

Digital-Only Release Spans
18-Year Discography

Puscifer, the multi-dimensional rock troupe featuring Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, have released In Case You Were Napping (Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG), a 15-song digital-only collection celebrating the band’s nearly two decade recorded legacy of boundary-pushing music (listen here: https://Puscifer.lnk.to/ICYWNPR).

Pulling from the band’s albums and EPs, In Case You Were Napping serves as both a primer for new listeners and a curated journey for longtime fans. The tracklist highlights favorites such as “The Humbling River, “ “Momma Sed,” and “Conditions Of My Parole,” alongside standout tracks including “The Mission – M Is For Milla Mix” (featuring vocals from Milla Jovovich), the prescient 2020 single, “Apocalyptical,” and Sessanta tour closer, “Grand Canyon.”

The collection arrives as Puscifer has publicly confirmed their fifth studio album will arrive in 2026. Fans won’t have to wait long for a preview, on August 11, the band will perform the as-of-yet untitled record in its entirety over two performances at Exchange L.A.. The 8 p.m. set is sold out but a limited number of tickets remain for the 5 p.m. set (tickets: here).

In Case You Were Napping tracklisting:
1.    Queen B
2.    Momma Sed
3.    Indigo Children
4.    The Humbling River
5.    The Mission – M Is For Milla Mix
6.    Conditions Of My Parole
7.    Horizons
8.    Man Overboard
9.    The Remedy
10. Grand Canyon
11. The Arsonist
12. Apocalyptical
13. Bullet Train To Iowa
14. The Underwhelming
15. Breathe (Versatile Mix)

Puscifer is an electro-rock band and multimedia experience. Their catalog consists of four full-length studio albums: V is for V… [2007], Conditions of My Parole [2011], Money Shot [2015], and Existential Reckoning [2020] — in addition to a series of EPs, live albums, and remixes. Beyond the core trio of Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, the group’s ever-evolving ecosystem has encompassed luchadores, aliens, a cast of unforgettable characters, and a host of remarkable guest musicians.

The project traces its origins to early ‘90s Hollywood, when Keenan performed at Tantrum, a local comedy-meets-variety night helmed by Laura Milligan (who would later perform with Puscifer in the role of Hildy Berger). In addition to tallying tens of millions of streams and views, they’ve piqued the curiosity of the press. Entertainment Weekly christened them “Exceptionally groovy, Variety described their music as “hypnotic electronic rock,” and Stereogum said they are “darkly playful.” Revolver added, “You’re highly unlikely to find another band that explores the fear and loathing of our uncertain times in as chill a fashion as the latest from Maynard James Keenan’s art-rock outfit Puscifer.”

Renowned for their immersive live show, the group’s performances blur the lines between concert and theater, traversing the dusty American Southwest, the sweaty squared circle, and outer space. They’ve brought their unique live experience to life everywhere from Coachella to Bonnaroo

“The music world is in mourning after the death of metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, just weeks after he made his final performance at the Back to the Beginning concert with Black Sabbath in his hometown of Birmingham, England. It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” his family said in a statement on Tuesday (July 22). “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”-Loudwire

BACK TO THE BEGINNING Was Great! (Farewell Ozzy!)

“John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne (3 December 1948 – 22 July 2025) was an English singer, songwriter, and media personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname “Prince of Darkness”. Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath in 1968, providing lead vocals from their eponymous debut studio album in 1970 to Never Say Die! in 1978. The band was highly influential in the development of heavy metal music, in particular their critically acclaimed releases Paranoid (1970), Master of Reality (1971), and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973). Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to problems with alcohol and other drugs. He then began a successful solo career with Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 and released 13 studio albums, the first seven of which received multi-platinum certifications in the US. He reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He rejoined in 1997 and helped record the band’s final studio album, 13 (2013), before they embarked on a farewell tour that ended with a 2017 performance in their native Birmingham.” (Wiki)

The Pretty Wild “Living Ded”

“My Chemical Romance kicked off their Long Live the Black Parade tour in Seattle last weekend in grand, theatrical fashion — though some casual observers have expressed confusion and criticized the band’s “weird demonic” stunts and “theatrical propaganda. My Chemical Romance are playing their landmark 2006 album, The Black Parade, in full on their latest tour — and much of the online discourse stems from one key moment during last Saturday’s tour kickoff show. Between “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “I Don’t Love You,” frontman Gerard Way led the audience in an “experiment” and “a practice of democracy.” The band trotted out four “candidates” with sacks over their heads and held an “election,” beckoning audience members to hold up a sign that said either “YEA” or “NAY.” Apparently, the majority of the audience voted “NAY,” as the four candidates were “shot” execution-style and removed from the B-stage on which they stood. “Thank you so very much for participating in democracy,” Way said with a wry smile before the band continued playing.” (Loudwire

Hell Hath No Fury Tour

Ticket Info HERE

Rising metaphysical metalcore powerhouse The Pretty Wild have unleashed their new track living ded and the accompanying official video (via Sumerian Records). Prior to today, the band released the official music video for sLeepwALKeR, which climbed the TikTok Viral Music Charts to #43 with 22.6k organic creations on the platform. The sister duo next shared Button Eyes which continues to climb the ranks at Active Rock radio. Most recently, The Pretty Wild dropped their banger OMENS and official music video. Altogether, the tracks have clocked over 15 million streams on Spotify alone and nearly 2 million views on YouTube. Speaking about today’s release, the band shared:

“‘Living ded’ is about reclaiming power through an intense and seemingly unbeatable struggle. When you’re dragged to your darkest depths, almost into existential collapse, and you find yourself suspended in this kind of weird liminal space. Some choose to stay there, but others self-realize the suffering, refuse to disappear, and choose to rise again as something new raw, almost ghostly or unkillable. You can hear that resurrection point in the lyric ‘in death we wake’.” – Jules

“‘Living ded’ is about the death of the projection society built to contain you in. its for the moment you realize the world insidiously shapes people thru subconscious dynamics into masks they begin to mistake for who they are.

The vampiric theme interwoven in “living ded” addresses the fact paradoxically that we’re all parasites in each other’s myth. We feed off validation, guilt, and projection until the self rots into shape. And we do it to ourselves. That’s the part no one wants to take accountability for.” – Jy

Fans will have their chance to see the band live beginning next week on the Hell Hath No Fury Tour, alongside In This MomentWargasm and Kat Von D, as well as at one of the summer’s most anticipated North American festivals, Inkcarceration 2025. For ticket information, please click here.

GOLDFINGER Releases “Freaking Out A Bit” ft. Mark Hoppus

Goldfinger Releases
“Freaking Out a Bit”
Feat.blink-182’s Mark Hoppus

New Single Out Now via Big Noise 

the iconic ska-punk band Goldfinger released a high-energy pop-punk track “Freaking Out a Bit” featuring blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus. Out now via Big Noise, the summer anthem explores themes of anxiety, digital-age burnout, and nostalgia delivered with a perfect blend of Goldfinger and blink-182’s signature sounds.  

Goldfinger “Freaking Out A Bit (feat. Mark Hoppus)

Frontman of Goldfinger, John Feldmann shared his thoughts on the track below: 

“Freaking Out a Bit is a song I wrote with Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus… I had the concept for a song and a chorus, and they came in and brought it to life! Mark wrote the best verses, and Travis turned the beat around in the bridge, which gave it a whole new life of its own. Those guys are some of my best friends and I love them. So grateful I got to do this song with them I’m so glad it’s finally coming out!” 

Renowned producer and frontman John Feldmann has been a driving creative force behind modern pop-punk’s resurgence playing a major role in shaping the sound of a new generation of artists under his label and production wing. As long-time friends and collaborators, John and Mark have been making hits together since blink-182’s Grammy-nominated seventh studio album California (2016). This new single is the latest addition to their growing discography. 

With a career spanning nearly three decades, Goldfinger has been a pillar in the ska-punk and pop-punk movements since the mid-90s. Known for breakout hits like “Superman” and “99 Red Balloons” and their electrifying live shows, the band continues to evolve while staying true to their roots.  

Goldfinger will be performing at the sold out Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach taking place July 26th and 27th at Shoreline Waterfront. To stay up to date on all of the band’s latest news and releases, follow them at @goldfingermusic.

BACK TO THE BEGINNING Was Great! (Farewell Ozzy!)

“Back to the Beginning was a concert by the English rock band Black Sabbath, with a number of supporting artists. It took place on 5 July 2025 at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England, very near where the band was formed in 1968. The event concluded with the final live performances of both the band and lead singer Ozzy Osbourne; it also marked the first time since 2005 that the original line-up of the band (Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward) had performed together live. Osbourne, no longer able to walk due to advanced Parkinson’s disease, sang while seated on a throne. The widely-lauded concert was streamed worldwide via pay per view with a broadcast delay. It featured an all-star lineup of supporting acts, including two supergroups of musicians serving as the house band. Proceeds from the event totalled £140 million, and will be donated to charity.” (Wiki)
