Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem have debuted a new song titled “Life Is A Corpse You Drag,” which is now streaming via an official visualizer. The track serves as the latest preview of the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album, Liturgy Of Death, due out on February 6.

It names an ancient law: consciousness as burden, the…

Officer Lucifer have returned with a fierce new single titled “Far From Right”, enlisting Helmet frontman Page Hamilton for a venomous guest performance that pushes the project’s confrontational vision even further. Blending metal, punk, grunge, and Latin rhythmic influences, ‘Far From Right’ expands Officer Lucifer’s genre-defying approach while doubling down on its core themes of resistance, corruption, and manufactured outrage.

Walters initially filed the lawsuit in 2021, alleging sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violations of multiple California civil codes.
