“Aerosmith, the legendary rock band that has captivated audiences for over five decades, has officially announced their retirement from touring as of August 2, 2024. This decision comes after front man Steven Tyler’s ongoing struggles with a vocal injury, which has hindered his ability to perform. Initially, the band had planned a farewell tour titled “Peace Out,” intending to celebrate their legacy with fans, but after only a few shows, they were forced to cancel all remaining dates due to Tyler’s health issues. In a heartfelt statement, the band expressed their gratitude to their loyal fan base, affectionately known as the “Blue Army,” acknowledging the profound impact their music has had on fans’ lives. While this marks the end of an era for live performances, Aerosmith’s rich catalog of hits will continue to resonate with fans around the world, ensuring their legacy in rock music endures.” (Perplexity)

Many Eyes began in the winter of 2022 when Keith Buckley (Ex-Every Time I Die, The Damned Things) connected with brothers Nick (Producer/ Owner of Dexter’s Lab Recording) and Charlie Bellmore (Corpsegrinder/ Toxic Holocaust) through their mutual friend, Jamey Jasta, frontman for metal legends Hatebreed. The Light Age was written and recorded over a few weeks in both Buffalo, NY, and Milford, CT, where the members reside.Taking cues from the Grunge Rock and Hardcore of the 1990s that was so influential to them growing up, the members of Many Eyes skillfully blend chaos with melody.
Many Eyes’ live performances, including their tour with post-hardcore icons THURSDAY, have demonstrated their ability to deliver high-energy shows with precision and emotion. With Craig Vittorio now on guitar and Sean Vallie on bass, alongside Nick Bellmore’s powerful drumming and Keith Buckley’s commanding vocals, the band remains focused on pushing forward and exploring new creative horizons.
As they embark on the next phase of their journey, Many Eyes remains committed to their core ethos—creating music that resonates deeply with listeners, blending raw power with melodic depth, and continually evolving as artists. The future looks bright as they continue to chart their path forward.

10 TERRIBLE Live TV Rock Performances (ft. Metallica/Lady Gaga, Creed)
Italian Goth metal legends Lacuna Coil are proud to unleash a new single “Hosting The Shadow” on the world. After their successful collaboration with Ash Costello of New Years Day on their latest single“In The Mean Time“, the new track “Hosting The Shadow” comes with none other than Randy Blythe from the mighty Lamb of God.
Lacuna Coil comments about the new single and collaboration with Randy: “‘Hosting The Shadow’ is a trip through light and dark, where silence reveals its hidden secrets. Obscure moments can become occasions to evolve, to learn to master one’s own shadow – which is crucial in order to prevail. Randy Blythe did an incredible job on this track, we absolutely adore his voice and his evil laugh! Our admiration for him is infinite and to have him as a guest on this song is a dream come true. Partnering with a friend you respect immensely, that also kicks ass on stages around the world: it doesn’t get any better than this. We’re looking forward to the day we can perform ‘Hosting The Shadow’ live together!“
The appreciation for the collaboration is more than mutual. Randy Blythe adds: “I was super excited when Lacuna Coil asked me to sing on a song with them – not only am I a big fan of their music, they are truly beautiful souls who have been like family to me for 20 years now. We’ve played shows together all over the world, and I’ve always wanted to jump onstage and sing with them – I can’t wait until it actually happens with ‘Hosting the Shadow’!”
Following their features with Ash Costello and Randy Blythe, Lacuna Coil will head out to the UK & Ireland this October, with special guests and friends Blind Channel from Finland. See below for all dates; tickets can be purchased via: https://lacunacoil.com/

BETTER LOVERS’ HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM, HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE, ARRIVES OCTOBER 25 VIA SHARPTONE RECORDS PRE-ORDERS: https://bfan.link/highly-irresponsible
Better Lovers, a band that didn’t even exist just 16 months ago, and have rapidly risen to prominence with two blistering tours across North America and a pair of overseas treks, playing for sold-out crowds and featuring prominently on 2024’s most prestigious European festivals, release their debut album, Highly Irresponsible, on Oct. 25 via SharpTone Records.
A preview of the eagerly-awaited debut comes today with the release of “A White Horse Covered in Blood,” along with its Eric Richter-produced video (https://youtu.be/LNocoFQ0ecE). Guitarist Jordan Buckley humorously shares, “Playing and hearing our own music makes us want to run through walls. So we made a video where, while playing and hearing our own music, we run through walls. This ain’t rocket surgery!”
Better Lovers “A White Horse Covered In Blood”
Discussing the album, Jordan continues, “Writing and recording our first full length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but had a similar lack of restraint. I feel more pressure giving a quote for this press release than I felt all winter in Will’s studio. I got to wake up every day and watch the masters perfect their craft. I was a student. It was a playground. Everything was funny. We were reading each other’s minds. Even creating our own language at some points. I didn’t know if I was watching my closest friends write music, or if I was watching music use us to exist. The voice in my head warning me how Highly Irresponsible it was to hop on this bull again was gone. Replaced by big ideas, inside jokes, and a rejuvenated love for helping to write songs that don’t sound like anything else. Humans and animals alike are programmed to do wild things for what they love. Highly Irresponsible things. And we love what we’ve created. We know you will too.”
Greg Puciato adds: “New album. First full length. It’s a typical thing to say, but we’re excited to start getting this out there. Everyone really brought their best to the album, and brought out the best in each other, and that goes for everyone behind-the-scenes too. I’m honestly just over here happy that I fit the word ‘buddy’ into a song.”
Recorded this Spring, Highly Irresponsible benefits from the dual role of Will Putney, who, besides being one of the band’s guitarists, also brings his production skills to the album. Putney explains, “Being a member of the band and the producer is actually a real advantage for Better Lovers. We’re so dialed in to exactly what we want to do, and our creative process is so in sync and natural that we rarely hit a wall when we work on music. My role is to capture the energy of the band the way it’s intended to sound: a band firing on all cylinders.”
Album pre-orders, including limited-edition vinyl variants and CD, as well as digital pre-saves, are available now: https://bfan.link/highly-irresponsible.
Highly Irresponsible track list: 1. Lie Between The Lines 2. Your Misplaced Self 3. A White Horse Covered In Blood 4. Future Myopia 5. Deliver Us From Life 6. Drowning In A Burning World 7. Everything Was Put Here For Me 8. Superman Died Paralyzed 9. At All Times 10. Love As An Act of Rebellion

Gojira – Ah! Ca ira! (Paris, Jeux Olympiques 2024)
“Gojira’s groundbreaking performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony has set a new precedent for heavy metal on a global stage. As the first metal band to grace the Olympic Opening Ceremony, Gojira delivered a striking rendition of the revolutionary anthem “Ah! Ça Ira,” accompanied by a theatrical portrayal of a decapitated Marie Antoinette. This bold performance, which took place at the historic Conciergerie, featured explosive pyrotechnics and a unique blend of metal and opera, showcasing the band’s signature aggressive sound alongside mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti. Gojira’s frontman, Joe Duplantier, expressed the immense responsibility of representing the metal genre, emphasizing the need for originality and hope in their performance. This moment not only captivated audiences but also sparked discussions about the role of heavy metal in mainstream culture, marking a significant milestone for both the band and the genre itself.” (Perplexity)
With the excitement towards the release of his third solo album The Art Of Letting Go building, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter MYLES KENNEDY – known for his work with rockers Alter Bridge and Slash and the Conspirators – is releasing another song from the album. The song, “Nothing More To Gain,” is an upbeat track that continues to showcase the guitar-driven, rock-influenced direction that Myles is showcasing on his latest album. The Art Of Letting Go marks the return of Myles, backed by his band comprised of Zia Uddin on drums and Tim Tournier on bass. The album is scheduled for release via longtime label home Napalm Records on October 11, 2024.
From the opening guitar riff of the title track “The Art Of Letting Go” to the haunting melody of album closer “How The Story Ends, ”MYLES KENNEDY is back with a collection of songs that is sure to cater to old and new fans alike. Songs like “Mr. Downside,”“Miss You When You’re Gone,” and “Saving Face” showcase the memorable storytelling that has become synonymous throughout all of Myles’ projects.

The album’s debut single – the upbeat rocker “Say What You Will” – is currently moving up the US Active Rock charts with a bullet. The song is the most spun single of Myles’ solo career and has become an instant classic among fans and program directors alike. The music video – with over 1.2 million views to date – was directed by Gordy De St Jeor (Mammoth WVH) and tells the story of a bullied and timid student who breaks out of her shell with the help of a teacher, janitor and lunch person portrayed by Kennedy, Uddin, and Tournier in the school talent show. Watch it here.

When Green Day starts a tour, they know how to make it big. When Green Day makes a statement, they know how to get attention. Add all that, and then have Green Day celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie and 20th anniversary of American Idiot. The Saviors Tour was definitely made to be something memorable.
The tour opener at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. would not be canceled due to political statements toward fascism or a storm that caused an hour delay. 2024 marks a significant year for Green Day. Along with the two album anniversaries and full playthroughs, the band also released Saviors early this year which was a return to form for the group.
Seeing and hearing the performance of “The American Dream Is Killing Me” up close was great. Later seeing Billie Joe Armstrong hold up a Trump mask with the word IDIOT on it was a surprise, but also on point for Green Day who has been targeting political figures since the American Idiot years. Anyone who is in shock by Green Day going political has not been paying attention to Green Day at any point.
My favorite part however was hearing so much of Dookie live. The sequence of “Basket Case” to “She” was something special for me and I’m glad I was there to see it in Nationals’ park.
Along for many of The Saviors Tour is another staple from the 90’s, The Smashing Pumpkins. Now stacking the lineup with new guitarist Kiki Wong, the band’s sound is more fleshed out. Although the Pumpkins tour was cut short due to the weather delay, the band got in the main staples from Mellon Collie to a crowd willing to sing along.
The biggest casualty of the night was Rancid, who started their performance with fire but were cut short less than two songs in when stagehands told the group that the lightning and impending storm would demand a stadium evacuation. Here’s hoping Rancid can return to the nation’s capital soon.
Opening the tour was The Linda Lindas out of Los Angeles. Watching them perform live in the stadium was seeing the purest form of joy for a young band, realizing they have an incredible opportunity to perform in front of so many.
The traffic getting in was rough. The storm delay was brutal. Getting to hear Green Day with such vigor was worth the wait. Whether it was Buddy the mascot doing the worm on stage, or the endless sing-alongs from DC, this was a great way to open a Summer tour. Both old and new sides of Green Day were heard, and everything was well received. It was the rare happy night in DC where everyone could agree that what occurred was great.
“Green Day has officially launched their highly anticipated “Saviors Tour” in Washington, D.C., captivating fans at Nationals Park on July 29, 2024. This North American tour promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a remarkable 37-song setlist that spans the band’s illustrious career. Concertgoers were treated to a vibrant performance that showcased Green Day’s iconic hits and new material, setting the tone for the rest of the tour. As the band embarks on this exciting journey, fans across the country can look forward to electrifying shows filled with energy and nostalgia.” (Perplexity)
Ashes Of Levithan Tour. A metal celebration honoring the 20th anniversary of two amazing albums: Ashes Of the Wake from Lamb Of God, and Levithan from Mastodon. When this tour was announced earlier in 2024, it seemed like the perfect matchup and reason for the bands to tour. Adding Kerry King of Slayer with is solo project and up and coming British metalcore band Malevolence added extra depth to one of the best metal tours of the year.
Lamb Of God Homecoming with Mastodon, Kerry King, Malevolence #Shorts
The Richmond, VA performance was the homecoming show for Lamb Of God. 20 years celebrating Ashes Of The Wake and riling up Richmond is a good reason to celebrate. The band had many friends and family in attendance along with a packed Virginia Credit Union Live (which is a venue I do hope gets used more in the area).
Hearing the crowd know the lyrics and sing sections of Ashes Of The Wake reinforced my belief that heavy music can last with people. At one point, VA State Senator Danica Roem was seen crowd surfing (as seen by guitarist Mark Morton). A Senator of the people, proving they know their assignment.
Between songs, Randy Blythe took a moment to talk about how this was Lamb Of God’s first performance at Virginia Credit Union Live since 2016 for a GWARBQ. Blythe also thanks many Richmond metal and hardcore bands, including young and upcoming ones Blythe recommended checking out. It was clear that Blythe wanted to show respect to Richmond as the city has treated the band so well over 20+ years.
Mastodon brought back their massive video boards and trippy visuals to play their brand of groove metal roughly one year after the band’s last visit to Virginia Credit Union Live. The group’s sound along with the presentation has always been impressive since the first time I saw the group perform in 2017. I hope more people get to experience Mastodon live.
After Mastodon’s set, Brann Dailor walked to center stage and told the story about how 20 years ago, Brann was at a Richmond Best Buy and saw both Levithan and Ashes Of The Wake at the best sellers section in the CD aisle. Dailor called Randy Blythe who also couldn’t believe it. As a former employee of Best Buy 20 years ago (Store #773 to be specific), I can confirm that both albums were indeed selling well across the US. Best Buy used to be a great place for music, and Mastodon and Lamb Of God are still great to hear in 2024.
Along with Slayer returning to the stage later this year at Riot Fest, Kerry King is working with his solo project. A thrash inclusion to a tour like this was a good choice and hearing King’s solo work along with Slayer classics was a fun addition to the evening. Kerry King still sounds great while shredding and has a great presence live.
This was my first time seeing Malevolence live. I had known the band from hearing singles on SiriusXM Octane and it was good to put faces to the sound. Malevolence’s vocalist gave credit to Lamb Of God and being proud to perform in the hometown of one of Malevolence’s favorite bands. This band was a strong opener.
Ashes Of Leviathan Tour is something unique in metal: a tour that celebrates the anniversary of two successful albums from bands that have remained friends over the years WHILE proving that metal has lasting power. Here’s hoping there are more examples of this in the future.
Lamb of God X Mastodon: Ashes Of Leviathan Tour 2024
“The Ashes of Leviathan Tour is set to be a monumental event in the metal music scene, featuring powerhouse bands Lamb of God and Mastodon. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic albums, Ashes of the Wake and Leviathan, this co-headlining tour promises to deliver an unforgettable experience as both bands perform their celebrated albums in full. Joining them are special guests Kerry King and Malevolence, adding to the lineup’s star power.” (Perplexity)
Lamb Of God Ignite Homecoming Show with Mastodon on Ashes Of Leviathan Tour
When I returned to Rocked, I chose to emphasize that transition by reviewing an album that especially resonated with me — The Crucible, a concept album by guitarist Marc Centanni and producer Gary Wehrkamp, better known collectively as Harpazo. Originally, Marc had messaged me about reviewing the album, and I informed him that with an album of this magnitude, an interview about it would serve as the perfect companion piece. After some scheduling adjustments, we were finally able to make this happen.
Marc and I dived into the many and varied bands who shaped his guitar playing, the chance meeting between he and Gary that changed his trajectory, the assembling of both Christian and progressive metal talent for this project, and how getting back in touch with his Christian faith transformed his outlook on life.
