The long-running question surrounding Josh Travis’ current role in the reunited The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza has finally been answered. Despite appearing in promotional materials for the band’s two live reunion shows this year, Travis was notably absent from both performances, with Eric Berngruber stepping in onstage. Speaking on the newly debuted episode of ‘The Totally Legitimate Business Podcast’, Travis revealed that his absence has largely come down to scheduling conflicts rather than any departure from the band. Alongside his commitments to Emmure, Travis has been taking on a behind-the-scenes role with A Day To Remember while they tour. Pressed…
Melodic death metal newcomers Wrath Of Divinity have made their first official impact with the release of their debut single “The Fallen Apostate”, featuring a guest guitar solo from Alex Baillie of Cognizance. The new studio project pairs multi-instrumentalist Nick Riggz (Novallo) — who performed guitars, bass, drums, and engineering — with vocalist Aaron Green (Aerith / The Primordial Apex). The track also features additional atmosphere courtesy of David Bingman (Enervation), who supplied synth and keyboard layers. “The Fallen Apostate” delivers a tightly-wound blend of technical precision and soaring melodies, serving as a strong first statement for Wrath Of Divinity.…
Faith No More bassist Billy Gould took a moment to look back on a major milestone this week: the 40th anniversary of the band’s debut record ‘We Care A Lot’, which first arrived on November 30th, 1985. That scrappy, genre-bending introduction — fronted by the late Chuck Mosley — helped set the tone for what would become one of alternative metal’s most unpredictable careers. And while Faith No More’s worldwide breakthrough wouldn’t come until 1989’s The Real Thing with Mike Patton, Gould made it clear that We Care A Lot was never just a footnote. The album’s confrontational funk-metal experimentation…
For fans of Cave In, the early 2000s delivered both excitement and confusion. After redefining metalcore with their 1998 debut Until Your Heart Stops, the Massachusetts innovators pivoted sharply into shimmering space rock with 2000’s Jupiter — a move that initially sparked backlash before becoming one of their most celebrated works. The band’s recent 25th anniversary celebrations for Jupiter have only cemented its legacy. That bold shift in sound also opened an unexpected door: a major label deal with RCA Records, who released the band’s 2003 album Antenna. While still carrying traces of their cosmic experimentation, Antenna leaned further into…
A new musical crossover is coming to Final Fantasy XIV, bringing some serious firepower. Tom Morello — known for his groundbreaking work in Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave — has teamed up with platinum-certified metalcore outfit Beartooth for a brand-new track titled “Everything Burns”, created specifically for a raid in the game’s upcoming Arcadion content. This unlikely fusion of gaming and metal was made possible thanks to FFXIV composer Masayoshi Soken, a longtime Morello fan who had hoped to collaborate. Jason Charles Miller (gODHEAD), who has deep ties in the game industry, ultimately connected the two worlds. Morello confirmed…
Converge drummer Ben Koller has revealed he was involved in a frightening hit-and-run car crash over the weekend. In a post shared to Instagram, Koller explained that another driver T-boned his vehicle on Sunday and immediately sped off — but not before their bumper ripped off and left the license plate behind. Despite the impact, Koller reassured fans that he walked away with no major injuries and is feeling fortunate the situation wasn’t far worse. “Nice little Sunday. They t-boned me and fled the scene. Luckily their bumper flew off and had the license plate on it. I’m somehow walking…
Bassist and vocalist Gene Simmons has commented on the recent passing of his former KISS bandmate Ace Frehley, suggesting that the guitarist’s “bad decisions” may have played a role. Speaking to The New York Post, Simmons offered a candid reflection on the events leading to Frehley’s death at age 74. Frehley suffered a fall in a studio in late September 2025, sustaining blunt force injuries to the head. Despite emergency surgery, the injuries proved too severe, and his family made the difficult choice to remove him from life support in October. The Morris County Medical Examiner ruled the death accidental,…

Trump remarked on the honor, saying: “The members of the incredible…

The night marked the live debut of the collaborative track “God Is A Weapon” with both parties performing it together for the first time.

Russian deathcore band Slaughter…
