Year Of The Knife took the stage at Converge’s Saddest Day festival in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday night (December 14th), where the metalcore outfit surprised fans by unveiling a brand-new track during their set. Fan-filmed footage circulating online captures the band performing the reportedly titled new song, “An Exercise In Pain,” which was introduced immediately after their intro, signaling a clear shift toward new material. The performance marked the group’s first known preview of fresh music in front of a live audience in quite some time. As of now, Year Of The Knife have not released any new recordings since…
Converge treated hometown fans to a nostalgia-heavy set during their headlining appearance at the 2025 Saddest Day festival, held Saturday night (December 13th) at Roadrunner in Boston, Massachusetts. The ferocious metalcore veterans delivered a sprawling 23-song performance, closing the night with their seminal 1996 track “The Saddest Day.” While a new album is finally slated to arrive on February 13th, the band instead leaned deep into their catalog, resurrecting multiple songs that had not been performed live in well over a decade. Among the biggest surprises, “Towing Jehovah” surfaced for the first time since 2004, while “Conduit” returned to the…
Evanescence added a familiar guest to their set during Saturday night’s (December 13th) Almost Acoustic Christmas festival at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, inviting Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix onstage for a special performance of their breakout hit, “Bring Me To Life.” Shaddix handled the guest vocal sections made famous by 12 Stones singer Paul McCoy on the original studio version, giving the crowd a nostalgia-heavy moment tied directly to the band’s early mainstream breakthrough. “Bring Me To Life” remains a defining track for Evanescence, serving as the launchpad for their debut album Fallen, which went on to achieve…
Months after King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard deliberately pulled their catalog from Spotify, the band’s name has resurfaced on the platform under far more dubious circumstances — this time involving an AI-generated impersonation project. The Australian psych-rock collective exited Spotify in July as a public protest against ethical concerns surrounding the company’s leadership. The move followed Spotify co-founder and CEO Daniel Ek’s involvement in a $693.6 million funding round for Helsing, a firm developing AI technology for military use through Ek’s Prima Materia investment company. King Gizzard cited the investment as irreconcilable with their values, walking away from roughly…

The record is scheduled for release on January 23rd via Out Of Line Music. Do you love independent bands, or are you in one?

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has added another major achievement to his résumé, officially earning a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 64. Mustaine received the honor through his training at a Renzo Gracie–affiliated academy, with instructor Reginaldo Almeida recently acknowledging the milestone. The accomplishment comes despite Mustaine being open in recent years about age-related injuries and health issues playing a role in Megadeth’s eventual plans to retire from touring and recording. Even so, Mustaine’s passion for martial arts clearly remains intact. Long before stepping onto the mats for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the thrash metal icon had already earned…
