“Great live TV metal performances have a unique ability to captivate audiences and showcase the raw energy of the genre. Two standout examples are Ghost on The Late Show and Rage Against The Machine on The Word. 

Ghost, known for their theatrical stage presence, delivered a mesmerizing performance that combined haunting melodies with powerful visuals, engaging viewers with their dark yet catchy sound. Their appearance on The Late Show exemplified how they blend heavy metal with an almost cinematic experience, drawing in both hardcore fans and newcomers alike. 

On the other hand, Rage Against The Machine’s performance on The Word was a powerful statement of rebellion and political activism. Their explosive energy and intense lyrics resonated deeply with audiences, making it a memorable moment in live music history. The band’s ability to fuse hard-hitting metal with socially conscious messages has solidified their place in the genre. 

Together, these performances highlight the diverse expressions of metal music on television, showcasing its ability to entertain while provoking thought and emotion.” (Perplexity) 

Primus and Coheed & Cambria Share Stage In Unique Richmond Show

This bass. Long jam sessions. Endless grooves. Guitar solos. Sing-alongs. While Primus and Coheed & Cambria may not be typical co-headliners sonically, the logic was there for the bands. According to Sanchez in a tour press release: “The music of Primus has had a creative influence on me and it is a huge honor to get to share the stage with them.”

This tour came to Richmond, Virginia at Virginia Credit Union Live. Addressing the crowd was Les Claypool, saying that he was born in Richmond, California. Claypool then assured the Virginia crowd that both Richmonds are identical and there is nothing different between the two, and that includes tweakers.

Primus performed decades worth of hits with many songs extended to give longer sessions to the tripped-out crowd. The setlist included a surprise collaboration from tour opener Puddles Pity Party who all covered Dio’s “Holy Diver”. A sad clown and the creators of the South Park theme covering a metal classic. They did Dio proud.

“Sick Happens.” That’s what guitarist Travis Stever told the Richmond crowd when explaining Coheed‘s presence on stage. Coheed & Cambria recently performed in Washington, D.C. in karaoke fashion as singer Claudio Sanchez was sick. The ongoing illness was still present between songs for Claudio, but the band gets a gold star for effort as they wanted to continue the show and tour together.

Even with a few elongated breaks for the band to catch their breath, Coheed still made sure the hits were performed from Good Apollo and other songs over the last two decades for the group’s diehard fanbase. The group also performed before the show for their VIP fanbase, again going above and beyond even while feeling down and out.

The night opened with soundtrack clips about a fish while a clown reads the latest edition of AARP Magazine. Confused by the description? I assure you it’s accurate, as Puddles performed a range of hits with his crooning baritone voice. Puddles Pity Party in Richmond covered songs from Ozzy Osbourne, Celine Dion, and even the Gilligan’s Island theme song. The clown may look sad (and possibly scary?), but his voice is golden.

As Puddles tried to throw out guitar picks or get a bit animated on stage, the clown realized he’s not as young as his spirit feels. Here’s hoping Puddles aches heal soon after such a physically demanding performance.

While I have seen Coheed & Cambria live several times over the past 10 years, I had never seen Primus. This night was a LED filled spectacle ranging from Salad Finger clips to the sing of prog-emo classics. I’m not sure whose idea this tour lineup was, but they really created a great tour with something unique for concert goers.

“Primus is currently captivating audiences on their summer tour alongside Coheed & Cambria and special guest Puddles Pity Party. This dynamic trio is delivering an eclectic musical experience across the U.S., showcasing the unique sounds of each band. Primus, known for their innovative fusion of rock, funk, and psychedelia, is led by the iconic bassist Les Claypool, whose virtuosic performances are a highlight of the show. Coheed & Cambria, recognized for their concept-driven albums and powerful melodies, complements Primus with their own blend of progressive rock. Meanwhile, Puddles Pity Party adds a whimsical twist with a mix of comedy and music, performing covers in a theatrical clown persona. This tour not only celebrates the distinct styles of these influential bands but also promises an unforgettable night of live music for fans across the country.” (Perplexity)

Falling In Reverse – Popular Monster | Album Review

An album preceded by several singles over the course of four years, now including four new songs, several collaborations, and a lot of similar problems Falling In Reverse has always had. The title track and original Platinum single from pandemic is the standout and by far Radke’s best song. The remaining singles either have Radke outshined by co-collaborators such as Jelly Roll, or are incredibly messy song structures with overproduction and terrible writing. The lyrical content ranges from “Woe is me”, to “I can’t be cancelled”. All of which is delivered with terrible flows. The song “Bad Guy” is the epitome of everything wrong with Falling In Revers and the one-track thought process revolving around one person’s depiction of himself. You’ll get the occasional solid guitar riff or hook but they are few and far between, especially in the new material. What’s shocking is that Popular Monster is by far Radke’s greatest album, and it’s still a rough 3/10.

Falling In Reverse “All My Life”

___

“Falling In Reverse has made a powerful return with their new album Popular Monster, released today, August 16, 2024. This marks the band’s first full-length album in seven years, following their 2017 release, Coming Home. Popular Monster features 11 tracks, including previously released singles like “Popular Monster,” “Voices In My Head,” and “Watch The World Burn,” showcasing the band’s evolution in sound and lyrical depth. With collaborations from artists such as Jelly Roll and Tech N9ne, the album promises a blend of bombastic rock and introspective themes that resonate with fans. Ronnie Radke’s complex lyricism and the band’s genre-defying style continue to push boundaries, solidifying their status as a leading force in modern metal. The anticipation surrounding this release has been palpable, and the album is expected to further elevate Falling In Reverse’s already impressive legacy in the alternative music scene.” (Perplexity)

CROBOT Share New Single “Nothing”

CROBOT ARMED WITH A POTENT COCKTAIL OF
ADRENALIN, ANCIENT MYTHS, PERSONAL DEMONS, AND A CULTURAL ICON,
CROBOT UNVEILS ITS BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO, “NOTHING”

 With guitarist Chris Bishop having made the decision that Crobot needs “one of those “MTV-style videos,” the band – Bishop, vocalist Brandon Yeagley, bassist Pat Seals, and drummer Dan Ryan – ventured out into the wilds of Pennsylvania’s woods to do just that. Crobot’s brand new music video, “Nothing,” not only demonstrates the band’s ability to produce a seismic, sonic event, but to locate and feature one of the most sought-after legends in history – the seven-foot tall, hairy creature who stalks the woods – Bigfoot. The “Nothing” video is loud and bombastic, with an unanticipated, happy ending, and you can check it out HERE.  

Crobot’s upcoming album, Obsidian, is set for a September 13 release (Megaforce Records). Produced by Crobot, recorded at The Machine Shop Studios in Austin, TX, and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Alberto De Icaza, the 12 tracks on Obsidian dive into the deep, murky waters of the human condition, threading ancient myths with personal demons across its tracks.

Make Them Suffer Announce Self-Titled New Album

A full-circle moment forged alongside years of endurance and innovation, as Perth metalcore group Make Them Suffer announce their fifth studio album, with the self-titled full length due out on November 8 via Greyscale Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world. Get it here.

Spanning 11 tracks of inventive ferocity, Make Them Suffer finds the five-piece in unwavering control of their sonic identity. Bound with lashings of melodic light and blistering shade, the album also fearlessly steps into new creative waters that embraces yet boldly expands upon the group’s foundational symphonic, progressive, and blackened textures.

Also accompanying the announcement of a brand new album today, Make Them Suffer unveil their new single and video “Oscillator“: a scintillating blend of bounce, hulking electronics, and razor-sharp melodics set against Make Them Suffer’s trademark thought-provoking lyrical content.

Watch the music video for “Oscillator”here.

“‘Oscillator’ is more than just a song about screen addiction; it delves into the profound impact this addiction has on mental health,” the band shares. “As we become more reliant on this constant source of stimulation, our baseline joy and excitement for life in general becomes lowered. I believe we are currently facing a mental health crisis, largely attributable to screen addiction.”

Amongst a lineup change, a global pandemic, and the residual reality of external expectations, Make Them Suffer faced ongoing hurdles leading into their fifth studio album; and yet the band’s self-titled 2024 full-length is one unflinchingly driven by cohesion and candor, simultaneously honoring their past while expounding their present in torridly authentic fashion.

“The decision to self-title our latest record was a significant one,” shares the group. “It stands as an authentic representation of the band’s sound. We loved our band name in the early years, however, through all these years of growth, we believe the songs on this album are the best representation of ‘Make Them Suffer’ as a name and, more importantly, as our vision for the band. The album represents years of growth, evolution of sound, and is a ‘full circle’ representation of that vision.”

Tracing its origins back to 2022, the new Make Them Suffer era was first set in motion by the announcement of Sean Harmanis (vocals), Nick McLernon (guitar), Jaya Jeffery (bass), and Jordan Mather (drums) releasing the blistering single “Doomswitch” as well as joining forces with Alex Reade taking up the role of backing vocalist and keyboardist, aka Make Them Suffer’s trademark “Fifth Member.”  Following on with singles “Epitaph” and “Ghost Of Me,” Make Them Suffer ultimately crafted their forthcoming new album in between an exceedingly busy international touring schedule as live music opportunities continued to rise in the post-pandemic landscape.

Self-produced along with returning collaborator Jeff Dunne (Disturbed, Ice Nine Kills, Fit For A King) on engineering, mixing and mastering duties, Make Them Suffer is ultimately a dynamic return to heavier terrain bolstered by bold new elements, representing a new chapter that also honours and snapshots the hurdles and hard work faced by Make Them Suffer along the way.

“It feels like all the pieces have come together to create a special moment in the band’s career,” Make Them Suffer share. “The album is the result of years of accumulation of material, experimentation, and growth. We think that really comes through in the songs. We’re incredibly excited for people to hear our self-titled record, and even more excited about what the future holds. We can’t wait to bring these songs to life on big stages with bigger productions, giving them the spectacle they deserve.”

The band finishes, “Anybody following the band over the past number of years knows we have undergone immense change, self-discovery, and subsequently, have experienced a reinvention. We feel as if the stars have aligned to create a very special time in the band’s career and we can’t wait to show everyone that growth.”

Forming in 2008, Make Them Suffer roared to life armed with ferocious deathcore leanings before stamping their name on the heavy scene with lashings of melodic flair via their 2012 debut full length Neverbloom. From here, a fearless pursuit of creative exploration would see the group morph from local Perth favourites into stalwart fixtures on the world stage, expanding their reach into melodic death metal, heavy metalcore, symphonic elements and beyond.

Previously releasing four studio albums, including 2020’s How to Survive A Funeral,which debuted at #17 on the Australian Charts, Make Them Suffer have amassed millions of streams, performed sold out headline runs, and toured the globe alongside a horde of industry heavyweights, including Parkway Drive, While She Sleeps, ERRA, and Stray From The Path.

In 2024 alone, Make Them Suffer have continued their world domination with an almost entirely sold out Australian tour supporting Bring Me The Horizon with Sleep Token in April, a run of European and UK festivals, including Download Festival, Copenhell, and Jera On Air, and their huge Suffer Forever Australian headline tour set to kick off later this month. Already sold out in Brisbane, Newcastle, and Melbourne, Make Them Suffer will be joined by special guests Bury Tomorrow, Spite and Bloom for this unforgettable down under run, before the band head across the ditch for a headline show in New Zealand, and close out 2024 supporting Bury Tomorrow in the UK and Europe.

“The Warning”
“Weaponized”
“Oscillator”
Doomswitch
“Mana God”
Epitaph
“No Hard Feelings”

Consisting of fourteen tracks, ‘’DARKER WHITE” is the intersection we will all find ourselves in at some point in our lives,” says front man Jason Aalon on the theme of the new album. “It is the struggle we will inevitably face when identifying our metric for good or bad. Wrong or right. Dark and light. All based on our environment, social construction and cultural/psychological conditioning. It is the eagle-eyed observation of said intersection and the removing the shame after realizing we all experience it and it is up to us to find use of this taboo so it can be offered to the world as a beautiful story, piece of wisdom or a perspective that ironically changes your life for the better. “DARKER WHITE” is a sonic and social experience.”

NO HOSTAGES”, the new single out today follows the release of the previously released songs and music videos for “NEW WEST ORDER” and “HIGHER POWER”, all found on ‘DARKER WHITE’.

“Nine Inch Nails is set to compose the score for the highly anticipated film Tron: Ares, starring Jared Leto. This marks a significant moment as it will be the first film score credited to Nine Inch Nails, rather than the duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who have previously collaborated on numerous soundtracks. The announcement was made during the D23 Expo, generating excitement among fans who are eager to see how the band’s iconic sound will translate to the Tron universe. With a release date scheduled for 2025, this project promises to blend Nine Inch Nails’ industrial rock roots with the futuristic themes of the Tron franchise, potentially delivering a unique auditory experience that could redefine film scoring in the sci-fi genre.” (Perplexity)

Chokecherry Share “No Other Place” Song & Video

SAN FRANCISCO SHOEGAZE X GRUNGE POP ACT CHOKECHERRY SHARE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “NO OTHER PLACE” — WATCH

San Francisco shoe gaze x grunge pop trio chokecherry — comprised of vocalist/guitarist Izzie Clark and bassist/vocalist E. Scarlett Levinson, along with drummer Abri Crocitto — announced their signing to Fearless Records earlier this summer. At the time, they shared the video for their new single “Afterglow.”  Watch it here.

The group has been steadily building a buzz since meeting on dating app Hinge. The San Francisco Gate praised chokecherry’s “blend of white-hot shoegaze,” calling it “the modern sound of the California sun vaporizing the San Francisco fog.” Clark and Levinson may not have worked out on the romantic front, but the pair are clearly musical soulmates and it’s beautiful thing to witness and hear.

Today, chokecherry share the video for the new single “No Other Place.” Watch it here.

Chokecherry “No Other Place”

It’s a fast-paced, electric shock of a track that spotlights the heavier aspects of chokecherry’s sound. Ethereal vocals in the verses give way to a cathartic yell in the chorus — it’s the band’s “f**k you” to that tiny but vocal voice inside your head that tells you you’re not enough.

“This song is about fighting off the metaphorical mean person in your head,” says Clark. “It’s a battle cry. It’s also sort of an abstract encapsulation of a very complex feeling of trying to love and forgive yourself. This is a snapshot of being at war with yourself, but at the end, it feels like a catharsis. I had a ton of fun writing in a new tuning for this one, and writing the song with [producer] Zach Tuch; we had just met him that day and by the end of the session had a song in hand that we all loved and had become great friends.”

Levinson concurs, saying, “This was an incredibly collaborative writing process and we loved the result. Vocal lines became guitar solos became hooks — it was a daylong group brainstorm that yielded magnetic results. Massive shout out to the magical ways of producer Zach Tuch. This song is two self-conscious voices dueling in your head; the metaphorical hypercritical devil and soothing, forgiving angel are sitting on your shoulders exchanging verbal blows.”

Chokecherry will capture the hearts of rock fans everywhere with songs that boast thick, ’70s-inspired bass lines laden with strategically placed howls and hums. Their passionate, hypnotic delivery overflows and fills into every word, allowing vulnerability that listeners can truly attach to. If their Spotify streams —2.8 million global streams and counting — are any indication of how many music fans will dig what chokecherry are putting down, then it’s time for 2024 to buckle the F up.

Slipknot Celebrate 25 Years Of Chaos & Dominance

In 1999, the brute force of Slipknot’s Self-Titled release was a shock to fans of heavy music. The age of nu-metal was turned upside down by mask wearing musicians who were as focused on creating chaos on stage as they were crafting music. Fast forward to 2024, and the 25th Anniversary Tour has Iowa’s favorite sons paying tribute to their roots with a show dedicated to what led to Slipknot becoming a household name.

With a setlist dedicated to music before the year 2000, Slipknot performed the Self-Titled along with remixed clips from over two decades ago at CFG Arena in Baltimore, MD. The biggest highlight for me personally was being in the photo pit during “Wait And Bleed”, hearing Corey Taylor should “BALTIMORE”, and then hearing two young ladies at the barricade should in reply “That’s us!”

The stage set was designed to reflect what Slipknot was doing 25 years ago, but scaled to a modern venue. Removing the endless pyro and percussion high-rises, Slipknot replicated the visuals of the Self-Titled days while performing the biggest hits from that era including “(sic)”, “Spit It Out”, and “Surfacing”.

In the tradition of a classic being made modern, Slipknot nailed the concept of giving a show reflecting what was happening in 1999. As opposed to the endless tour grind of always trying to promote new material, the 25th Anniversary Tour relishes in what was accomplished while paying tribute to fans who have been them since the previous century.

Slipknot “Wait And Bleed”

The buzz around Knocked Loose has become massive. Along with releasing their third studio album You Won’t Go Before You’re Suppose To, Knocked Loose have gained a reputation for creating a virtual Mortal Kombat in clubs and festivals through encouraged pits. The hardcore and metalcore fans have latched onto Knocked Loose as a new banner band for an aggressive sounding live group. Needless to say, Knocked Loose supporting Slipknot on this tour was the perfect choice.

Knocked Loose “Suffocate” Ft. Poppy

Opening the night was Sweden’s Orbit Culture who brought out melodic death metal to the Baltimore crowd. This was my first time seeing the group and the sound instantly ushered in fans who wanted something loud and guttural while also being different than what Slipknot and Knocked Loose were bringing to the tour. It caught my attention as many at the barricade knew of the band and had favorite songs from Orbit Culture who formed over 10 years prior.

Not only was this a unique tour, but it also proves that themes for bigger bands can work. Anniversary tours are becoming more common, but giving a tour attempting to represent the visual style and sound of a famous album 20+ years ago is an effort worth applauding, especially one that is able to pack so many people in.

I spoke with a member of security at the venue while “Purity” was playing, and she told me she saw Slipknot on Ozzfest in the 2000’s. I then replied with how we were roughly the same age and that there were many fans in attendance who weren’t even alive with Slipknot’s self-titled album came out. The lasting power of Slipknot is something many detractors would hate to admit, but the music has held up. Maggots keep spawning and over the years Slipknot keeps gaining more fans.

“Slipknot is celebrating a monumental milestone with their 25th Anniversary Tour, aptly named “Here Comes The Pain.” Kicking off on August 6, 2024, in Noblesville, Indiana, this tour marks a significant return to the band’s roots, featuring a setlist that heavily draws from their iconic self-titled debut album released in 1999. The tour will include performances across major cities in North America, culminating at Knotfest Iowa on September 21, 2024. Founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan has expressed a desire to create more intimate experiences for fans, promising a visceral performance that embodies the band’s unique “maggot culture.” With support from bands like Knocked Loose and Orbit Culture, Slipknot is set to deliver an unforgettable celebration of their legacy and heavy metal prowess throughout 2024 and beyond.” (Perplexity)
