French psych/noise rock trio SLIFT have dropped a lyric video for their new single “The Day Of Execution,” which also serves as an advance cut from their upcoming full‑length ‘Fantasia’. The album is due out on June 5 via Sub Pop, and this track sits alongside the previously released “A Storm Of Wings” as a key pillar of the record’s heavy, widescreen atmosphere. Director Ben Amos Cooper helmed the lyric‑style visuals, which lean into the song’s hypnotic, procession‑like groove and the sense of inexorable motion that runs through the band’s latest work. In a short statement accompanying the single, SLIFT explore the thematic spine of the song and its place within the broader ‘Fantasia’ narrative:…

For years, the story of Jason Newsted’s departure from Metallica has mostly been told through the lens of creative frustration, side‑project friction, and a demanding schedule. In 2001, his exit blindsided fans, who chalked it up to his side projects being sidelined, his exhaustion from the band’s punishing grind, and the gnawing sense that he was never fully part of the inner circle—whether that meant writing credits, studio power, or the infamous lack of bass on …And Justice For All acting as a metaphorical nail in the coffin. But now, in a candid spring 2026 interview on Dean Delray’s podcast Let There Be Talk, Newsted is reframing…
